Great food and great atmosphere. They always have a wide variety of specials and their quality always comes out predictably good. I had the soy glazed salmon which I have had several times and is my favorite on the menu. The garlics mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables are my go to sides. They had a red snapper with some delicious sauce on it and WOW, delightful. The Oscar special steak another person had and really enjoyed as well as the pork shank. The number one best thing to get here through is the bread pudding... best you will ever have hands down. read more

If you want a perfectly prepared steak and a stellar atmosphere, look no further. We started with the incredible house bread and their sun-dried tomato pesto garlic spread--it was so unique and flavorful. The ribeye was melt-in-your-mouth good, paired perfectly with the tasty asparagus and those 'chef's kiss' garlic and cheese mashed potatoes. The ambience sets a wonderful mood, and the service was world-class. Our waiter, Jeff, was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and attentive, making sure the whole experience was top-notch. Can't wait to come back! read more

Loved the authentic atmosphere--cozy and full of character. Came with a group and we had the upstairs all to ourselves, complete with our own dedicated waitress, which was a nice touch. Just a heads-up: there's no elevator, so everyone needs to be comfortable with stairs. I really wanted to love the food. The seafood bisque leaned a bit salty for my taste, the lobster bites were on the chewy side, and the pork shank came out a little tough. That said, the shrimp cocktail looked impressive--the shrimp were large and plentiful, definitely a highlight for those who tried it. read more

Stables Steakhouse - Pork Shank - Steakhouses Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

This has always been on my list of places to visit when in Terre Haute. Finally made it there and I was not disappointed! It is nestled near Downtown Terre Haute. They do have a parking lot with plenty of parking. Upon walking in, you realize it is really a Stable! The way it's set up is beyond different. It offers a warm and cozy feel. It's pretty dark inside but not too dark. We did have reservations and were seated right away in one of the "stables". :) The service was a 10/10. We never waited long for anything. We had several people attending to us and really made us feel special. We both ordered steak, NY Strip and Ribeye. Both were very good. Unlike many steak houses, the steak comes with a soup or salad, and a side. We both opted for potatoes and wedge salad. On average the steaks were around $65 so I think that's really a good value. Places in Indianapolis are $65 just for the steak. We also ordered dessert because...why not? We opted for the bread pudding. It was good, not amazing, but solid. I would say we will be back when in the area. Between the parking, the food value and the service, there wouldn't be a reason not to! read more

Really enjoy the ambiance and service at stables, however, the food was not as good as expected, portion were kinda small. If you want a better steakhouse at the price point in Town go to J.Ford black angus. Porterhouse is amazing! The bread pudding was amazing, so tasty read more

Oh my goodness. Great service by Cameron and all the crew tonight (Sunday 8/17). My husband has the NY strip cooked and flavored to perfection. Soup, bisque. Caesar salad was great. The mashed potatoes were incredible. Very tasty and a restaurant fav. I had the special, filet mignon with crab, asparagus and hollandaise sauce - incredible combination of flavors. We had a dessert another restaurant fav bread pudding. The best! The ambiance in the restaurant was incredible and the history card. A definite pick up and read. read more

The service is outstanding. Our waiter was very descriptive with specials, and gave personal recommendations for appetizers, entrees, wine, if people were on the fence or asked. It's an interesting place, and I could see regularly stopping here for a mixed drink before or after dinner elsewhere, Stables is very expensive. Our party all found the Prime Rib tough, and one expert ordered it medium rare, it should have been mouth melting tender. For the price, the cuts and cooking needs to be A+. Appetizers were very good, the crab cakes exceptional, all the salads were good, and very unique huge portions. Everything was decorated nicely for the Holidays and a jazz duo was singing standards and Christmas Carols, a nice touch. Very good steakhouse in TH albeit pricey for the quality. read more

This place is such a unique find nestled in Terre Haute. The ambiance is hard to beat and different from any place I've ever visited. The restaurant is in what used to be an horse barn and you can tell. The dim lighting with each table in an old stall and decor all horse/barn related made it a fun experience. The menu is a typical steakhouse so I expected a typical average dinner, but everything I had exceeded my expectations. The crab cake special came out as two huge burger sized crab cakes and they were so good. Meaty and moist - I didn't use any of the sauce it came with and actually would ask for it on the side next time so they aren't drowning in it. Same with the salad - it's a heavy dressing pour but the actual wedge salad was great. I had the shrimp dish for dinner and loved it. PLENTY of shrimp and the marinara/tomato based sauce that comes with was the perfect addition to elevate what could have been too simple of a meal. The side of sautéed veggies it came with was a large assortment and was buttery and flavorful. The drinks were great and I wish I'd tried dessert, but just a reason to go back! The service was good - we had a large group around the holidays and I'm sure they had their hands full with a packed restaurant. It was slow and delayed a lot, but in the end we didn't mind since we were all visiting and chatting. read more

Beware, this restaurant apparently doesn't take walkins. You need a reservation to get a table. I was traveling through Terra Haute, IN on a Thursday and stopped in around 5pm. The dining room was maybe 20% full. The reservation desk turned away a couple in front of me as well as myself as a solo diner. The said all of tables were filled with reservations. Hard to believe with as big as the dining room (s) are and as early as it was in the middle of the week. I'm disappointed that I couldn't try it out as it is relatively well rated. I won't be back to try again.​ read more

Hands down the best steakhouse in town. The atmosphere is incredible, rich with history, and the hospitality is just as outstanding as the menu. Every detail was spot on. Well done team Stables! read more

What a huge disappointment! A few nights ago we tried Stables for the first time. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was friendly enough to start with. Our steaks were decent, but we waited over an hour for our food! No one came by our table to explain why there was such a delay. When we were paying our bill there was no apology offered, and our server laughed at our saying we waited over an hour. For a meal which cost each of us $75 it was hardly worth it because of the poor service. We've been in better restaurants with better food and a lot better service for a lot less. read more

We truly love this place. It's a cool atmosphere, the wedge salads are the best salads ever. The steak is so yummy and the bread pudding is wonderful! read more

If this is the best terre haute has to offer... ill just stay home. The server was polite, the waitress staff as a whole were prompt and courteous, and since it was a birthday they gave us a dessert for free, which ive never had. Still the food was a step above an outback steakhouse. Asked for medium rare and received well done, the potatoes were salted to death and the cesar salad was a piece of romaine lettuce on top of about an inch and a half of cesar dressing and felt like I was eating dressing soup. For the prices they could buy a brita filter and stop serving faucet water, but its water. The bread pudding was bland but at least it was free so not really a problem, the appetizers were the best part and we're enough to hold us over. Lobster bites breaded thick with a good sauce I cant remember, and cheese curds since we had an adolescente with us. A full bar and the bartender accommodated us to whatever request we had, making a fresh sangría on the spot supposedly. All in all im now thinking of opening a resturant that serves Popeyes chicken to profit off the idiots around town telling me this is the greatest meal theyve had in their life lol The service however was the best ive had in a long time, and that alone is something special. read more

Came here for a wedding event. Everything was amazing. We loved the sweet potato casserole so much and the salmon was perfectly cooked. They also had them cater at the wedding and my favorite thing was the wild rice. It was creamy and kinda sweet? I've been daydreaming about the rice ever since. The restaurant has a very historical, classy feel which is relaxing and quaint. The servers were walking up and down those steps (poor things) and still were on top of things. read more

Well... I wish I could still give 5 stars but unfortunately dinner on Saturday night left something to be desired. What was still good? Cocktails and entrees were great. Caesar salad remains good. Lobster bite appetizer was just not good. I've had it before, and it was much better. The lobster was stringy and chewy and didn't taste right. Yes, the sauce that came with it could mask that, but who wants to mask lobster? You shouldn't have to. I'm not docking more stars for this, but the server we had was also terrible. He was condescending and assumed we had never been there (we've been many times). Each time I ordered something he acted like I didn't know what I was ordering. A spicy cocktail was received with "you don't want a spicy drink do you?" Yes, sir, that's why I ordered it. When I ordered the Caesar salad he said "now you haven't had our Caesar right?" And the icing on the cake... my salmon listed 3 options for preparation. I picked the one I wanted(sugar soy) and he instead told me it would be better to order a different preparation. I bet the chef wouldn't be too thrilled with this server recommending changes to the menu (without being asked), and I wasn't too happy with being talked to as if I didn't know how to order and dine at a nice restaurant. Oh, let me not forget, he called me "dear" repeatedly. read more

I just left this restaurant ten minutes ago. While eating, a bug fell out of the light fixture onto my plate. I informed my server(s) of the situation. They brought me my check, I paid, and left. I didn't want my to-go order or my leftovers from dinner. They changed me for the whole meal--bug in all. read more

The food was generally pretty good but my biggest complaint was the broccoli. It was served in a bowl of melted butter and was very very salty and inedible. When I brought this to the servers attention he offered no solution to it so I ended up paying for something I didn't eat. read more

This place never disappoints and for this I am grateful!! I ate a fillet with baked potato last night. The fillet melted in my mouth- perfect. Of course, I had to have a few fresh oysters from the Chesapeake Bay, which were exquisite. They have a broad wine and bourbon selection and other wonderful cocktails. read more

Food was good. I honestly prefer Texas Roadhouse. For the price it did not seem to meet the quality I was expecting. Mashed potatoes were lukewarm when I received them. The restaurant itself has a very unique vibe that is worth checking out at least once. read more

We had a great dinner after a long day outdoors. The staff was really great. They made helpful suggestions, were attentive, and well-versed in the menu and drink list. Our family of 4 adults enjoyed a great dinner for about 250, including drinks and dessert, comparable to a night at a steak chain but much higher quality. The staff was great and lots of fun. We had steak, seafood, and chicken, which were perfectly prepared, fresh, and delicious. The atmosphere was both relaxed and charming. The stables vibe was there, but they pulled it off without being a kitschy "barn." Instead, it had the feel of an old-school city steakhouse. I recommend the steaks, as they were superior to most Chicago steak restaurants' fare and cooked to perfection; the Ribeye was very flavorful, tender, and well marbled. If you have room, enjoy the bread pudding; it was a great topper for a wonderful night out. read more

We have been to this establishment for years for special occasions. Sad to say our last two visits were disappointing staff was slow and inattentive. On both occasions orders came out wrong and at different times . For the price we decided we won't visit again. I belive management is main problem. It had been one of our favorites to bad. read more

The food was terrible. It's a diabetes inducing restaurant. Everything had an enormous amount of sugar in the food. The potato casserole had 10% potatoes and the rest was sugar. The brussel sprouts were so sweet it was hard to eat one piece. Bass was the size of a side dish. The ravioli dish was also too sweet. Shrimp was dry and sweet as well. Ambiance- you feel like you are in a dark cave. I realize it's an old stable but it's way too dark and grungy. Service was good. read more

A local restaurant (reservations highly recommended regardless of what night) that if you're traveling from out of town you'll be shocked that such a high quality steakhouse can be found. The atmosphere is old & beautiful, converted from an actual old horse stable. The food is all top notch, from the various steaks to the AH-MAZING scallops. The desserts are made fresh and they WILL run out. The bread pudding is the best I've ever had anywhere (especially if you love lots of the sauce). The restaurant always has daily specials as well that aren't on the menu. Everything is delicious and great for groups and a romantic dinner. The bar is also well stocked with fantastic cocktails. If you travel on business alone, get there early and grab a seat at the bar. You'll enjoy getting to know the bartenders, they are delightful. read more

I'm torn on how to rate this restaurant. Food fine, service good, prices above average (expensive). The first thing our server said to us was " dessert is on us tonight"...we were pleasantly surprised by this and appreciated the gesture. We had meals that were pretty good, steak above average, red snapper mediocre. Sides were fine. The waitress was good and asked us each what we wanted for dessert, even offered to box it up to go. But once our bill came we were surprised to see the desserts, recommended by our server, on the bill. Each were 10$ a piece, which adds up when your bill is already over $100. Loved the small town vibe and nice atmosphere, but would appreciate up front costs. read more

Excellent!!!! This is my favorite restaurant. I have been there many times and never had a bad dish. Save room for dessert, they are great.

We use to come to stables a lot when we were I college. We came back to check it out since the food was always so good. The service on the night we went was terrible. Our server disappeared and we had to flag other servers down to order our food. We had been at Stables about 30 minutes waiting at the table before we finally ordered. When we got the Caesar salad the dressing was terrible. It did not taste like Caesar. The waiter insisted it was but there is no way. Then the creme brûlée tasted like eggs, extremely overcooked. We have been at Stables a few hours at this point and still haven't been able to flag someone down to get our checks. A 4 top seated about 20 minutes after us left before us. And a 2 top that came in an hour after us have already left. read more

My partner and I came here for our wedding anniversary and were absolutely blown away. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance were on point.

We went to celebrate being done with the school year & it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is very unique, as the restaurant is actually old Stables converted. We walked in and there was a piano being played. Our table was huge and under a chandelier. I ordered a raspberry martini and it was amazing. I got the petite filet. To my surprise it came with 2 sides (super rare for an upscale steak house) I got a salad and sweet potato, both which were great! The steak was cooked perfectly. Our server was very friendly and excellent. This is truly a gem in Terre Haute, I'd highly recommend if in the area! read more

The service is FANTASTIC! The food is also FANTASTIC! Now for the negative: the bar in this restaurant is too small; I came in for prime rib on a 7:30 Saturday night reservation, and they were OUT! You call yourself a steakhouse, so why am I eating roasted pork shank for my birthday? Although I genuinely like this restaurant, I do not think I'll be returning. I came in for prime rib on my birthday,...and you let me down. read more

We made a reservation for two on a Wednesday night. We were seated in the Tool room and our table was either too high or the chairs were too low. I felt like I needed a booster. We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms and they were fishy. Did not taste fresh whatsoever. Next we had the onion soup- it was pretty good. The 11oz filet came 45 mins after our apps and the filet was sliced the the middle. I can only assume they cut it to check the temperature. It was cooked to medium rare per request but to cut open a steak prior to delivering to the table is a rookie mistake. The side of vegetables and baked potato were delicious. It presented as an average steakhouse at best. read more

Stables has been my mine and my wife's favorite steak house for years but the last couple times, it's just been awful! Steaks are poor quality and food not cooked well at all! For the price, it's just not worth it any more! We'll be going to J Fords from now on! read more

First, the positives: - Great atmosphere - Friendly, accommodating staff - Some of the food was excellent, including the lyonnaise potatoes, the seafood bisque, the buffalo meatballs, and the homemade bread The $62 ribeye was okay, but not great and definitely not worth the exalted price. Something (I strongly suspect the seafood bisque) was poisoned and caused me intense abdominal pain all night. Thus the two stars instead of the three I would have given. read more

Party of 4, Sunday night-great atmosphere. Food had highs and lows. Seafood bisque excellent, French onion soup good, stables salad fine, grilled Caesar was good, had 2 large filets, one NY strip and one ribeye at the table. All cooked perfect and tasted great but definitely lacked seasoning. A sprinkle of salt made a huge difference. Garlic mashed potatoes very good, Lyonnaise potatoes ok-just fried potatoes with a few onions, side of sautéed mushrooms was weakest part of meal-just sautéed in butter, no red wine or garlic. Bread was really good and the tomato spread included with it was delicious. Desserts were the stand out for us. The bread pudding was incredible and creme brûlée was done very well. Service was ok, she did disappear for long stretches of time when drinks could've been refilled, plates cleared, etc but she was very nice. Overall very good experience but not sure the food/service matched the price. read more

food: 5/5 I had a sweet tea to drink. I ordered the filet mignon- got it done "black & bleu" style- with a sweet potato casserole and a French onion soup as my sides. The soup was good and the steak and casserole were *stellar*. Genuinely some of the best food I've ever had. service: 5/5 The service was great. Very competent and informed waitress. She was perfectly attentive and not at all overbearing. asides: - ambience: Mediocre at best, surprisingly enough. With all that money they're making off the pricey menu, you'd think they'd put more of it into their interior haha. But I'd never allow the ambience of a restaurant to affect my review-- that's simply not why I go somewhere to eat. As long as it's clean, I truly couldn't care less. - revisit: Well, I'd never go somewhere like that knowing that I was paying the bill lol! I went there on a business meeting. I'd love to go again, but only in that same situation. read more
