I met my Aunt and Uncle for dinner at The Beef House in Covington, IN per their suggestion one…read moreSaturday afternoon and I was very impressed with the dining experience. This was a bit of a drive for me, an hour and a half, since I live in Indy, but it was well worth the drive! The Beef House is a steakhouse that has been around since 1964, and it is a family style steakhouse that is known for their fresh beef and huge portions. They also have a banquet hall across the parking lot that can be rented out for special events or organization meetings. I have not been inside the banquet hall, but from the pictures, it looks very nice and has a beautiful ambiance. When I went inside the restaurant, I noticed a bull's head on the wall on the right that was very unique and stood out very well. It is definitely a photo opportunity for families to remember the dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous and definitely old style family steakhouse vibes with wood paneling and display of fine chinaware on the mantle. Our server greeted us with a smile and welcomed us to the restaurant. Unfortunately, I do not remember her name, but she was wonderful and took very good care of us. The menu is very impressive with a variety of options from pasta, steak, lobster, fish, and even frog legs! I decided to go with the Atlantic salmon dinner because I was in the mood for fish. I know I should have gotten a steak, but just was not feeling a steak for dinner. The dinner came with a salad, a side, and soup. I chose the vegetable soup, garden salad, and baked potato with sour cream for my side. OMG! When I say the portions were huge, the portions were huge!!! My Atlantic salmon was a huge portion, and the baked potato was a decent size as well. The vegetable soup and garden salad were delicious and very fresh. The vegetable soup was homemade and very comfort food for me. The Atlantic salmon was cooked to perfection and had a perfect texture to it. It melted in my mouth when I tasted it and was absolutely perfect! The baked potato was excellent and cooked perfectly as well. My Aunt also had the Atlantic salmon dinner and my Uncle had the chicken Parmesan dinner with pasta. The chicken Parmesan was huge and big enough to fill the entire plate. My Uncle loved it very much. The best part was the yeast rolls with strawberry jam and apple butter. The yeast rolls were the best I have ever had in a long time and the homemade strawberry jam and apple butter were pure heaven. You can even purchase a dozen of the yeast rolls to take home, along with a jar of apple butter or strawberry jam, if you are so inclined. This was an amazing dining experience and reminded me of the old steakhouse my family used to go to as a kid for dinner on special occasions. My Aunt and Uncle gave a good recommendation, and will definitely be back here for dinner if I am in the area. The Beef House is fantastic and highly recommend anyone traveling on the road to stop here for lunch or dinner, but would suggest making reservations in advance because it does get busy very quick. A wonderful road side restaurant for dinner here in Indiana that is a great discovery. Everyone need to come to The Beef House! It is #1!

You go here for the steak, and it is delicious! Oh and get those yeast rolls!…read more I was finally able to come visit this place while I was passing by the area, and I was very satisfied by my experience here. The staff here was very welcoming and I did enjoy the fact you see a lot of the meat on display when you enter! The interior also looked great as I took a picture with the bull in front! I started this meal the best way, with their yeast rolls. OMG they were so warm, fresh, and delicious! They also provide their homemade apple butter, which I HIGHLY suggest using. This apple butter made the rolls even better. For an appetizer we got the Combination Platter, which includes a bunch of their fried appetizers, Onion Rings, Fried Mushrooms, and Zucchini Fries. From this, I enjoyed the onion rings the most. I ended up getting the bone-in Ribeye with sautéed mushrooms. This steak hit the spot, with the right amount of marbling and flavor. The meal overall was very satisfying. For dessert, I got a cheesecake with strawberries on top. This was not too sweet, which is my preference. Overall, it was great to stop by here on my trip and would come by again!

We ordered two of their specialty cocktails, which took a little long to be delivered but subsequently were very good. Next we ordered the stuffed mushrooms, Halibut and filet medallions. Service was a little slow so we decided to just enjoy the time together. Our appetizer arrived and was outstanding. It was a bit of a wait for our entrees to appear and when they did we were disappointed with the wait. The filet was ordered medium well and arrived seared to almost well done other than the very center was cold and red. The halibut was overcooked as well but regardless I decided to enjoy the halibut because it was still palatable. The filet, on the other hand was not. It was tough and just not very good. I fully expected to spend the money on a fine dining experience but didn't feel that experience was met. We will try Baxter again in the future with hopes of a better experience but our history there has been hit and miss!

Though it looks unremarkable from the outside, inside, you'll find a wonderful restaurant where the staff is highly invested in making sure you have a great meal. My companion enjoyed a lovely Old Fashioned to start. I ordered the Turkey stroganoff, while he had the shrimp and grits. When the plates came out, I thought the veil was finally about to slip. They were well-plated, but huge. And yet...the veil didn't slip. It was haute-cuisine comfort food goodness in what looked like a converted warehouse space. Unreal! Though turkey is often too dry, my stroganoff was moist and succulent. The sauce was much more than just cream of mushroom -- lots of flavor and not too much salt. We had a time of it. I'd happily come back here again and again.

I ordered their specialty menu Manhattan and it was served warm with a single refrigerator I've cube tray ice cube floating in it and had a nasty medicinal taste. (Too much bitters?) The cheese and olive plate was very nice but their pork tenderloin sandwich was over cooked and did not pair well with a sweet mustard sauce. It was not a good take on a Midwestern pork tenderloin sandwich and it was inedible. Lastly, they placed us at a tiny center table that was of insufficient size for the dishes and cutlery and we kept getting bumped by servers bustling back and forth. All in all - not pleasant. I'm not in any hurry to return.

I can say that I've been telling everyone about our date night and how we recommend everyone going to Saltgrass. Unfortunately Texas Roadhouse was completely booked with an 80 minute wait time, which made us go to Saltgrass the next day and it was worth us missing Texas Roadhouse to find our new Steakhouse at Saltgrass.

The restaurant was nearly empty on a Monday evening. I was dining by myself, and when I entered the hostess asked if I had a reservation. I was surprised, because the restaurant was nearly empty. I said I didn't have a reservation and asked if I needed one. She told me no, but added that since I was dining alone maybe I could sit at the bar. I wasn't planning to drink since I was traveling for work, but when she suggested for a second time that I might like to sit at the bar "since I was dining alone " I said that would be ok. I travel frequently for work and often dine in restaurants by myself, and I've never had anyone think it unusual. The bar area was completely empty, not a single customer at the bar or any of the tables in the bar area. A very slow night. I ordered salmon and a baked potato, both were excellent. I love Saltgrass salmon, and it is usually what I have ordered at all the Saltgrass locations I have visited. The potato was perfectly baked and served with butter, sour cream, and green onion, just as I had ordered. I'll be happy to visit this location again when driving through this area.
