Amazing dinner last night at Randy's Steakhouse celebrating birthdays and they made very memorable with great service and food

Wow We drove from Fort Worth to support an iconic steakhouse. After reading stories about their loss of customers, due to the City of Frisco dragging their feet on road construction. I ate here 20 years ago when I lived closer and remembered what a great experience it was. So we drive an hour to try again. Well, spoiler alert ‼ It was even better than I remembered. What a beautiful restaurant in a historical home. Getting past the construction on Main Street was a pain but well worth it. The girls inside greeted and sat us right away. Our server was Nicole and she was a superstar! We started with some wine and a recommendation for the bleu cheese wedge salad. We loved that salad and split it because it was huge. I chose the 16oz ribeye and my wife picked the bleu cheese filet. We decided to split sides and chose a loaded baked potato, mushrooms for the steaks and the Osage spinach dish. OMG thr steaks were soooo good. Well cooked and packed full of savory flavors. Loved the spinach Osage and thr baked potato was perfect. We had so much food left over that there was a full meal of leftovers going honestly. One of the highlights was speaking to Randy who still cones out and talks to each table. This man cares about his employees and customers. It shows because he's still successful after 30+ years at the same location. We will be back..... read more

Overall, good dinner except for a few service things. The good - We wanted to try Randy's because we're about to move and we'd never been before. We made reservations for 6:00pm and arrived at that time. Traffic is crazy around there now so give yourself time to park. We were seated shortly after arriving which was great as it seemed to be a busy night. Inside is really cool. Love the old charm and house feel. The not so good - it was about 10 minutes before a server came to our table to acknowledge us. Two servers arrived at the same time and one of them took our table - OK. We placed our drink orders and looked over the menu. Drinks were dropped off. A good while later, server came back and we have appetizer order. We should have placed food order at that time as well because it was about 15-20 min before he came back to take our food order (6:45pm at this point). Onion ring appetizer arrives and they're very good - huge portion as we didn't even finish them all but we will at home, lol. We ordered Pork Chops, Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, Salmon,and Kids cheeseburger. We had the sautéed spinach and liyonnaise potatoes that hubby wanted to try. Everyone enjoyed their food and had leftovers. We'll gladly eat them today. Overall, decent experience besides the amount of time it took. read more

first of all this restaurant is a little hit in Frisco on Main Street. This restaurant has been here 33 years. The appears to be a home on the outside but inside is really a nice large restaurant and this restaurant has a rich history. The food was delicious. The owner came by and checked on us regularly with the ambience being unique as well. The steaks what can I say delicious tender and cooked at the right temperature with a choice of various sides. The butter looks like open boiled eggs, but actually it is a combination of Parmesan and garlic and it is really, really delicious and you are served with a nice hot large warm bread. The service was friendly and attentive. Definitely want our places will be going to on a regular. read more

Went to Randy's Steakhouse for the first time and it was great! My mom is a local and we have been wanting to support this restaurant for quite some time. Flash forward to her birthday and here we are! Perfect location in downtown Frisco and a historical site, which makes it that much more interesting. Cute, family photos adorn the walls and you can tell this place has been a staple of the city for quite some time. I had the blackberry 8 oz filet and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had a ribeye and couldn't stop saying how good it was. Between the two of us, we also shared a Cesar salad, which had a nice kick of jalapeño; and the stuffed jalapeños quick were awesome. Service was top notch and Randy even came by to see how our meal was. Upon leaving, they even gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary at home. We will definitely be back! Please paint me a visit and tell them I sent you read more

Always a pleasurable experience - AND a Downtown Frisco Legend! Please stop by and visit - it's a GREAT dinner service in a beautiful old victorian manor (with private parking)! Randy's staff are always exceptional and have a customer/service first approach. You will be seated in one of their fine dining rooms (or can sit on the patio out back during spring and fall nights). The menu is classic steak house, the experience is white tablecloth. I happen to love the bone-in "tomahawk" ribeye. The sides are also first class; augratin potatos / creme corn are our go-tos. But everything is balanced and as-expected. Randy himself comes out and meets with folks, he's a legend for sure - very nice person and very loyal to the Frisco downtown business experiece. We always enjoy coming; thank you to Randy and his staff ! read more

We had excellent service by Daniel! He was extremely professional and also super friendly. The food was cooked to perfection and delicious. We could not fit dessert in after eating it all (the bread was so good with the garlic butter!!!) but we saw the key lime pie and strawberry desserts and they were enormous and looked so good! Next time for sure I will plan better to be able to have dessert! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! read more

I'm not sure what took us so long to try out Randy's Steak house but it won't be long before we return. Just had one of the meals on their 32 nd anniversary. We couldn't be more pleased. The menu is fabulous! Steaks superb, pork chop to die for and Chicken Marsala enough for two. Prime rib yum! The side dishes were equally impressive. And what a way to end the evening with crème brûlée, and chocolate mouse. All topped off with a spectacular energetic host, Randy himself! You need no further to go than downtown Frisco for a memorable meal. read more

1st time trying , will not be our last. Food was amazing the steaks were cooked to perfection, I didn't have to send back. Ambiance was romantic and relaxed. The historic building and the quirkiness of it was cool. The service was good Isaac took care of our orders for the night. The price is very reasonable for the atmosphere. read more

Growing up here in Frisco, and being a local now, I had been wanting to visit Randy's and had the privilege last night. We had dinner here to celebrate the New Year and had a wonderful experience. The hostess and waitress were both very nice and welcoming. We were sat in one of the larger rooms towards the back, which was great at least while it was empty. Throughout the evening it filled up and became pretty loud. I'm not sure if it was the acoustics or other diners, but we found it difficult to hear each other at certain times. I recommend asking to be seated in one of the quieter, smaller rooms if this is a concern for you. That is our plan for next time. In regards to our dining experience itself, it began with the bread. This bread was one of my favorite appetizer breads I have ever had! It is extremely fluffy, sweet and paired beautifully with garlic butter on the side. We loved it! After the bread, we split Randy's Caesar Salad. We both enjoyed it, it was a classic take on a typical caesar salad and was topped with tasty croutons discs. For our appetizers, we ordered the Panko Crusted Brie and the catch of the day, the Coconut Shrimp. The brie was presented along with thick toasts, garlic cloves, meant to be spread as a paste on the toasts, red grapes and the panko crusted brie itself. I am a huge fan of brie and I thought this one was good! The garlic and grapes made it a great appetizer overall. The coconut shrimp was also pretty good and is actually on the menu all the time, which was great to know! For our entrees, we ordered the Bone-In Rib Eye Steak and Rib Eye Steak, both medium rare. The presentation of the bone was amazing and both steaks were equally as delicious. They were a little more rare than I would have liked but I had cut into it too much to be sent back. I still throughly enjoyed the flavor, texture and experience of both. We also ordered the Béarnaise and Bordelaise Sauces to go with our steaks. I loved the Béarnaise Sauce and it compares nicely compared to other béarnaise I have had around restaurants in the area. The bordelaise was not my particular favorite, but if you are a red wine fan, I think you will love it. For our side, we only ordered the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. These were another of my favorite parts of the meal. They were creamy, whipped and absolutely delicious! Also, to note, the sides are large and meant to be shared between a couple of people. It split perfectly between us two. Lastly, for dessert, we ordered the Key Lime Pie and Randy's Famous Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was so good! It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and green apples to the side. It was definitely our favorite of the two desserts. The pie was okay, it was not as strong in lime flavor as we expected. It was still good but seemed more like a plain cheesecake with lime syrup on top. Ultimately, we had a great night here at Randy's. We were so happy to finally visit and next time will request a quieter room and try a couple of the other dishes too. The highlight of our night was getting to meet Randy himself! He came through during our dinner to greet the guests and it was so great to get to meet the man himself! Thank you for a great night and experience! read more

We had an amazing dinner. We had Calamari, a habenero Merlot filet, a pan seared scallops, and a blue cheese stuffed filet. All of them were superb! Out waiter, Issac was excellent too! read more

The food was outstanding. My wife and I both had a filet. One with blue cheese and the other with crawfish. The appetizer and sides were excellent. Service was a little slow. I'm somewhat disappointed that my wife and I did not receive any special attention for our 49th anniversary. It was noted on the reservation and I followed up with a call. We had to inform the server and he indicated he was unaware. He did provide us with a free desert and appreciate that. I just wanted to show my wife the special treatment she deserves. read more

We have eaten at Randy's several times over the many years we've lived in McKinney and have always loved the food and the service. We chose Randy's to celebrate my husband's 54th and my son's 22nd birthdays last night (Saturday). Once we arrived around 7pm and were seated, we waited several minutes before our server even greeted us. (My husband could not recall her name but she was an older lady with brown hair.) She did not offer to take our drink order but brought some bread to our table. At that point, we asked her to find out if the bread had soy flour or soy protein in it (our son is allergic to these specific ingredients). She looked exhausted and annoyed as she walked away to find out. She returned to the dining room 5 minutes later and proceeded to wait on other tables. We watched her and waited and waited and waited for her to acknowledge us. During this time, we overheard her telling other customers that there were 7 dining rooms and only 7 servers working. Finally she came back to our table and asked if we decided what we wanted. At this point, we had been sitting there 20 minutes, were still waiting to order drinks and she completely forgot to answer our question about soy allergens...so the bread is still sitting there uneaten and getting cold. When we reminded her that we were still waiting to find out if he could eat the bread, she said "oh yeah there's soy in it." We asked again, "what kind of soy?". And she said, "they just told me soy". We asked her if she could please try to find out because he can have soybean oil and soy lecithin, which are the most common soy allergens. She walked away again and at this point, we were all so shocked and bothered by the terrible service and her unpleasant attitude that we quickly made the decision to leave while we still had time to make a reservation elsewhere and have the enjoyable celebration dinner we planned and expected. We informed the young lady up front who apologized and asked if we wanted to speak to Randy. Randy came out and spoke to my husband who explained our experience. Randy was very apologetic but really didn't offer any suggestions to try and make it right, nor did he try to get us to stay. He said that they immediately throw away the packaging for the bread, which is the reason they couldn't tell us the specific soy allergens. (If she had explained that, we would have understood.) He also said he was surprised because he's never had complaints about that particular server. We were so happy and relieved as we walked out that we made the choice to go elsewhere. We were prepared to spend a lot of money for a very nice special occasion dinner and deserved better. I understand that waiting tables can be tiring, especially when short handed, but the customers should never be aware of that, nor should they be made to feel like an annoyance when asking questions about allergens. Sadly, we will not be going back to Randy's for a good long while, if ever. read more

Great steakhouse in old Downtown Frisco. Original home built in 1800's updated to accommodate 75+ for dinner or private rooms for small gatherings. Nice menu for steaks, limited seafood options. Decent drinks and wine cellar. Hector was excellent server. read more

Held an engagement party here and it worked out great. We had a private room and a pair of servers, Brandon and Malik. The appetizers were delicious, especially the mushrooms. The servers were very nice and worked well as a team. Randy came and told us the story of the building which was very nice. The entrees honestly weren't great, my steak wasn't as hot as it could've been but with a bigger party that can be hard. Would possibly come back for a more intimate dinner rather than a party. read more

The restaurant is in an old home in old town Frisco. The service was attentive and good. The food was very good. They have some unique spins on some dishes but it was nice. My prime rib was tender and flavored nicely. They home bake bread and it was nice and fresh and good. We had the shrimp for an appetizer and it is nicely displayed and cooked perfectly. The order of onion rings reminds one that we are in Texas and they do everything larger! I recommend giving this one a try. read more

Spent $190 here on NYE and was very disappointed. After dinner, while walking through the public hallway leading to the downstairs restrooms, we saw a rat run across the hallway and under a doorway. This completely undermined our trust in the restaurant's sanitation. Throughout the house, dirty dishes were piled up in multiple areas, which further raised cleanliness concerns. Service was minimal and unprofessional, with our server stating he was maintenance staff who "sometimes serves." Our interactions with the server were short and abrupt (one-word interactions like "drinks?" and "food?"), and we had to stop the server multiple times for a soda refill (never received) and another glass of wine, which arrived only after we had finished eating. For a steakhouse at this price point, this was unacceptable. read more

Amazing service, food, and atmosphere. I made a reservation a week in advance and while dining, Randy, the owner, came to our table. He remembered our phone call and asked which one of us he had spoken to. I told him over the phone that we would be celebrating my Dad's birthday. After we ate dinner, they brought us a delicious chocolate cake with candles and a plate that said "happy birthday" with my Dad's name. They also gave us a nice bottle of wine with a custom sticker saying "happy birthday *Dad's name*". They were so amazing and sweet, I'd definitely go back and recommend it !! read more

Great local spot for good steaks on historic Main St. Randy himself stops by your table to make recommendations and ensure the meal meets your expectations. read more

I expected to have to walk to Randy's with the construction, but we were able to pull right into the parking lot. We had a reservation for 8:45, a bit late, but service was great. I had the surf and turf and the wife had the filet mignon. Food was really good, it's a very unique place (Victorian home built in 1869, moved to main street in 1903). I think the most enjoyable part of the night was our waiter Vegas, great personality which added a lot to the experience. Looking forward to coming back! read more

We went to Randy's Steakhouse about 10 years ago and had a wonderful time with a group of friends around the holiday season. We went this time with a couple of friends days prior to Christmas and did not feel the same warmth. The server was slow and inattentive. The food came out sporadically. We only enjoyed half the items. It's not the same. read more

Excellent food, service and ambience! Randy actually walks around and visits with the customers making sure everyone is having a good experience. read more

Love this place! Food is great and the experience was pleasant! Went for my birthday and was gifted a bottle of wine. The bar has a great vibe and great food! Garlic mashed potatoes with short ribs, YUM!!! Will definitely go again! Highly recommend!!! read more

We've gone to Randy's several times--often for birthdays or our anniversary. They offer delicious steaks and sides in a romantic atmosphere. Randy almost always leaves the kitchen and comes out to greet his customers. And they give you a bottle of wine if you go there for your birthday! read more

We went to Randy's Steakhouse to celebrate my mother's 73rd Birthday. it was fabulous! Currently, there is construction on the road pit front, but it's still very easy to get to and they have their own large parking lot. We arrived at 5:30 for our Reservation. The old house is lovely and a great place to celebrate! Our waiter told us the history of the home/restaurant, then promptly took our beverage order. We ordered drinks, the Conundrum Cab was delicious! The Shrimp appitezer, had a homemade cocktail sauce and remoulade sauce. Both were very delicious, great flavors. We also ordered a variety of other things to come with dinner. It was Friday, so we had a 12oz. Prime Rib, which was cooked exactly as we asked. The Blackberry filet mignon was also cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicious, the filet mignon flavor was fresh, smooth, and went excellent with the blackberry sauce. We aldo had some sides: Macaroni & Cheese as smooth, creamy with an amazing crispy top! It was very delicious! It is enough to have as a main dish. We all shared the Onion Rings, Steamed Asparagus, and Steamed Broccoli! The veggies were very delicious! The Onion Rings are a Heaping Huge pile!! They're amazing- definitely try them! For dessert we ordered the Chocolate melting Cake to share. It does take 20 minutes to prepare, so you may want to tell your waiter a bit early. Our evening experience was so enjoyable, we plan on coming back again soon! read more

Randy's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Frisco, Texas

We have been here before and had good experiences. Also, I waited a couple of weeks to review so emotions of wasting a coveted date night didn't come into play. The steaks were more grey instead of having a beautiful sear. They were cold and to top it off they told us the correct steaks they were serving us, but messed up. They didn't even get what I wanted on the baked potato right. We only had a two people at our table. Unfortunately we will probably not return. read more

I took my husband out to dinner for his birthday on Saturday night. We ordered the calamari the mashed potatoes, creamy, spinach, pork chop, and blue cheese fillet. The food came out hot and it was delicious. Oh, I forgot to mention the bread, it was warm with butter. My husband and I both agree that we would come back to Randy's in the future. It was worth the hour drive from Red Oak. read more

Still our all-time favorite restaurant in Frisco. Randy is a local institution and as sweet as they come. Lavergne is an excellent host and tour guide for the history of the place. Going to Randy's is like going home. Every time. read more

We were seated in back room off bar area. The NOISE level was unreal. The room held about 40-50 people but with low ceilings in old house we could not even talk or hear what the waiter was saying. We had reservations at 6:30 and left around 8:45. Service was slow, steak was good but have had better, baked potato was large but barely warm. We have been here before but will not return. Reason noise levels and cost. I do t mind paying for a good steak dinner where we can visit with friends but this place .No!!! read more

Now I under why we it took us so long to finally dine here. We have lived in Frisco for 20 years and this has to be hands down the worst restaurant Frisco has to offer. Reason for "2 stars" is the dirty martini was actually good despite me being afraid to order it. Hostess team is rude and uninviting upon arrival. Teenagers/college kids on cell phone when we arrived. They looked confused as to why we we were standing there. Told them it was our first time here. They just pointed us to the bar dining hall area to find a seat. The historical house/restaurant is very old which is supposed to be part of the allure and originality of the place however, it's just an overwhelming amount of the owners family photos over the years, old furnishings, dusty wall paper, curtains you name it. Instead of being charming, timeless and upscale it comes across as dark, dingy and in desperate need of a refresh. The entire house/restaurant smells like musty dank bar mats. And theirs a sticky grime feel to the air. I'm deep red of fresh air ventilation. The entire tonight the 3 of us were questioning why we kept going further into this experience. Main bar area room/dinning hall has several tables full and a few people at the bar. Bartenders see us come in looking for a place to sit and ignore us. We find a corner spot at the bar and both bartenders look annoyed we are here. when we we're finally acknowledged, she didn't say a thing, just came up to the bar and looked at us. Not even a "hey what can I get ya?"! The whole thing was just so bizarre. Looking around and observing the scene they have a lot of high school kids running the place. And a couple of bartenders who appear to hate their jobs. At this point we find this place and night just comical and agree to never return. At least we know we weren't missing anything great all these years. May have been great and upscale spot back in the early days of Frisco but it's actually a wonder how this place stays alive? Especially with all the other options in that area for dining. read more

Randy's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Sadly we have been to Randy's multiple times and not had much of an issue. However, tonight was awful. Appetizers came out cold, let it go. Ordered 3 different types of steak and one fish dinner, 2 sides. 2 steaks were fine, all of the rest was cold. Never a true acknowledgement of anything being wrong. They did comp the meal but they also comp the couple next to us. This was not about the money or comping the meal it was simply a very disappointing experience. Hopefully he can turn his business around. read more

We have passed Randy's several times and decided to give it a try. The ambiance is charming and our server Travis was great but overall, it was very overpriced for the value. Everything we ordered was just "ok". We started with the stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes. Though the crab cakes were pretty good, they were incredibly small (2 ounces according to the menu) and even though they state the size, for $26, it was pretty sad. Next up was a wedge and Caesar. The hubby liked the wedge but felt it was drenched in dressing. The Caesar was absolutely not a Caesar and was the most tasteless Caesar I have ever had. I could taste no dressing, the lettuce was soft, there were olives which made no sense. The large Parmesan "discs" added nothing and was stale tasting. For steaks we got the filet and ribeye. Both were cooked well but were again, "ok". I have had worst but I have definitely had better. Our side for our meal was the au gratin potatoes which was easily the least favorite dish of the night. It was various sized diced potatoes swimming in a loose and oily cheese sauce. Finally, we ended with the "famous" Jack Daniel's bread pudding. Sadly, the meal was not redeemed by this sweet ending. The alcohol flavor too strong and the bread too mushy. Nothing really famous or noteworthy. Overall, we left feeling we were glad we gave it a try but know we won't be returning. The ambiance and history is there. It was a shame that the quality of food the price was not. read more

My family and I went to dinner at Randy's in Frisco for my mother-in-law's birthday. We decided to come because of the Frisco program to support the Rail District, and even with construction in the area, the parking was great. The service was excellent. The owner came by to chat with us, and we never felt rushed, even though my mother-in-law eats slowly. The piece of cake and wine provided for birthday was an excellent surprise. It was our first time and I certainly recommend it. My wife and I want to check out the bar area soon. read more
