went there with a group last month . plenty of space people where friendly enough never ever saw anyone claiming to be owner or manager. Had to pay a 18% tip on top of overpriced steaks for a fix it yourself meal .Had too run after a waitress to get first drink and then didn't see one again until they wanted us to pay. Probably wont go back I can grill a lot better steak at home with better meat from our locker. read more

History

Established in 1973.

It all started in 1973 when Glen Rubenbauer - better known as "Rube" - opened up a tavern in the small-town of Montour, Iowa. His philosophy was to provide a hand-cut, quality USDA inspected, premium steak at a great price - and allow customers the experience of grilling it themselves. Word of Rube's quickly spread and people couldn't get enough of beefy, flavorful Rube's steaks. Soon, customers wanted to buy Rube's steaks to grill at home and give as gifts to friends and family. So in 1992 Rube's Meat Company opened and began shipping fresh Rube's steaks nationwide. Rube's Steakhouses have garnered a nationwide following and accolades from critics everywhere. And, the best part is anyone can now get a FRESH taste of the steak that made Rube's famous, simply by visiting Rube's Meat Company in Montour or by ordering online at www.RubesSteaks.com.

When my husband, Matt and I were dating in college, he took me home to visit his parents. They raved about this great little steakhouse out in the middle of the country where you get to grill your own steaks. I thought that sounded like the craziest idea in the world! Yet I was quickly won over. The entire experience was amazing from the packed lounge to the quirky "salad bar" set up on a folding table to the enormous brick grills where people grilled their steaks while enjoying lively conversation. LIttle did I know that just a few years later my husband and I would be on an adventure of a lifetime as owners of Rube's Steakhouse and Rube's Meat Company. Since then we've made a few improvements and additions to our product line, but the quality of our steaks have remained the same. We take pride in providing delicious premium steaks along with friendly small town service. Rube's steaks are always shipped fresh, straight from the heart of Iowa.

Last time I went here was a busy Saturday night with a bunch of fellow dog trainers. Tonight was a…read morequiet Tuesday with my husband. No dogs in tow to worry about Nothing at Rubes has changed. Delicious steaks, hot grill, fresh vegetables and plenty of butter. It is dark in the dining rooms but there is plenty of light around the grill. It is the centerpiece of each dining room. Rubes is a great place to go to celebrate a special occasion. Or anytime you are in the area.

My first trip to Rube's was in 1989, and there have been a lot of changes since then. I've eaten…read morethere many times and for many occasions. However, I don't want to focus on the past. Let's focus on this visit. I called ahead and made reservations. My wife and I arrived about 5 minutes before our reservation time. The ladies at the desk always seem to make it an awkward experience for some reason. They are nice enough, but they don't really act like they know what they're doing. There was a lot of whispering among themselves, and we were asked to wait while they checked with our server, and then asked to wait again while they seated people who arrived after us, even though that group was missing a couple of people. The lighting in the dining room is always a bit dark. Maybe they do that so the grills stand out when they're lit. They have small lamps on the tables. Our server was excellent. She ushered us to the cooler to pick out our steaks. She identified the largest ones on display as the ones to get, and even asked the cooler staff to put out more steaks so there were bigger ones to choose from. I got a New York strip and my wife ordered a small ribeye. We also ordered a mushroom skillet, which was extra. This is a grill-your-own-steak place, so you are the chef. There are a few seasonings available at the grill to add to your steak like garlic salt, seasoning salt, and table salt. They also have a bucket of melted margarine if you want to baste your steak with it, or put it on the Texas-sized bread while you toast it. I asked if they had butter. Our server brought us whipped butter and sour cream for the baked potatoes that are included with the meal. She melted a few of the butter packets for us to use on our steaks. Unfortunately, whipped butter just doesn't have the same flavor as regular butter. While I appreciated the effort, the end result wasn't what I'd hoped for. In addition to all the baked potatoes you care to eat, there are also baked beans and salad included with every meal. The salad was basically a section of a head of lettuce with dressing and toppings in it. While the presentation was nice, I prefer when they actually had the salad bar that they advertise. The salads used to come with carrot and celery sticks, and I used to be able to get cottage cheese from the salad bar for my baked potato. Now you can request another salad be brought out if you want another one. Let me add that the cups for the self-serve baked beans could be twice as big and still be considered small. There are also fried potatoes on the grill, and you can eat your fill of them. I assume they're cooked with the margarine they have available on the grill. While the food was good and service was excellent, I left thinking that for just the two of us, we could have made a feast for ourselves at home for less than half the price after the tip was included.
