Old school since 1965. I stopped by before the lunch rush and ordered a top sirloin steak, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and garlic bread. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. The cashier was super nice and helpful what more can you ask for. If you're looking for a quick meal and you don't want to spend a lot of money then skip the corporate Denny's and come here instead. read more

From Hawaii and we always go here when we are in California. Service is fast and price is great. You get two sides with your steak order. I got the bake potato and salad bar. The onion rings are good too. There is also ice cream and lots of toppings to add. You can't go wrong here..at least that has been our experience. read more

Steak Corral is one damn good restaurant. As a vegan, I pull in to get one hell of a meal for less than $7. I order the Salad Bar and Baked Potato sides. For the salad bar, I load up on lovely greens, beans, soy bacon bits, and cucumbers and dress it with French dressing. For the baked potato, I hit the potato bar and kick it up a notch with their delicious caramelized onions, bbq sauce, mushrooms, and green peppers. It's quick, tasty, and it gets the job done. The staff are kind and they keep the place in tiptop shape. There's a lot to love at this Whittier staple. read more

Steak Corral located in Whittier is a great spot to take family and friends to. It's budget friendly and it really reminds me of places that use to be popular back in the day. I would say it's way better than Sizzler and I hope it stays around a long time. They have lots of different options of meat that you can get but we ordered beef. They ask have chicken of you want that. With that it comes with two sides and one piece of garlic cheese bread that is so yummy and reminds me of my childhood. Yum! You order your food and if your getting a salad there's a bowl that you can fill but it's only for one time. It's not unlimited refills and after that you pay at the counter and they will give you this wooden item to put on your table. There is a side sauce area that has lots of different sauces such as gravy, mushrooms and even yummy tasty onions to top with your meat! I honestly had a great time eating inside and sitting in a very western cowboy theme restaurant! read more

Good priced food and good steak I came here for lunch and didn't regret it the fries and onions rings were solid !

Good food. More than reasonable prices. Decor is dated but quirky. Service was thorough.

The food was wonderful as usual, I haven't been here in ages, and I wasn't disappointed. The one issue I do have are the bathrooms. I use a wheelchair and I had problems getting with my wheelchair. I almost fell a couple of times trying to get in, so my sister had to help me. I wasn't happy about that. read more

I've been coming to this place since I was 7-8 years old, has the ambiance of the 70's style of restaurants, the food is simple steaks or chicken even salmon salad & a bake potatoe and always very good nothing fancy just good food read more

Amazing food. Been there for years with my family. They offer orders over the phone. But good luck if you want to order an hour before they're closed because they take the phone off the hook starting at 7. read more

This is one of those places you've been coming to for YEARS and it never changes; that is a GOOD thing! This moderately sized, unassuming place called "Steak Corral" is a bit of an enigma to those stopping by for the first time. First of all, you are met by longish hallway leading to an overhead sign (or two) showing their menu. The menu is not a big one but the selections pack a wallop. No lunch menu here, just choose something from the dinner menu and you will be fine. I'm pretty sure there is a kids menu but not 100% on that. They must, I brought my grandkids here and they ate fine! So anyway, back to the unorthodox way of ordering (for newbies)...a member of the waitstaff will meet you under these signs and ask what you'd like, just tell her and she'll write it all up for your whole party and then put in onto a quaint rustic wooden holder, place it on a tray, and off you go to part II. Part Deux is where you walk the line. The "cafeteria-type" line. Don't let this dissuade you from anticipating a GREAT steak. And also, please do not look at the TINY kitchen where they create their marvelous steak morsels. Walking down the tray line you will have the opportunity to create your own salad (pro-tip: place your dressing on the side in a smaller bowl so you can pack more salad on your salad bowl) and it is a 'one time salad bar' though if you really feel you need seconds you can get it for another buck fifty. Trust me you won't have room in your tummy. So moving down the line there are places for utensils (get them!) a drinking vessel (get it!), and other things. Get what you think you'll need or you'll be back! A drink station is there, choose your drink, there is coffee too if you'd prefer. At the end of the tray line you will pay the lady. Again, do NOT look over her left shoulder at the truly minuscule kitchen where the two chefs are working elbow to elbow (literally) to prep your delectable steaks! You looked, didn't you? Moving on, go to the moderately sized square dining room and choose a seat. You will notice a "condiment bar" (for lack of a better word) and a "sundae bar" that is pretty basic but gets the job done. If you had ordered a baked potato you can come up to the bar for the fixings. If not, go sit down and eat your darn salad! It won't take too long for them to grill your steak, so eat up so you can get to that sizzling steak when it arrives. The waitstaff will bring your meal when it is done and drop it off at your table, they always ask if they can get you ketchup (or catsup) or anything else before they leave. You can get your own drinks when you feel like it. As much as you want. So don't be lazy and ask them. They are just dropping off your steak and being nice. You could have picked up your own steak sauce at the condiment bar!! Don't forget to leave a TIP! Now you eat. Don't be surprised that you just bought a New York steak for under $15 and it tastes DELICIOUS and is cooked exactly how you ordered it. Despite rare and medium rare suddenly being very unpopular at restaurants, these chefs WILL do it correctly if you ask. The fries were good if you ordered those, they are not "steak fries" nor are they "shoestring" somewhere in between but still good. All in all, quite the unassuming little place that has remained largely unchanged through the many years it has been here. So what if the decor is from 40 years ago. I like that. It may not seem current, trendy, or hip, but they serve consistently yummy food and the staff is helpful, friendly, and professional. What more could you want?? read more

Alyssa and the crew were great the steaks definitely on point Alyssa was very accommodating to everything we needed always asking what we needed, me and my family wanted to say thank you and keep smiling it makes the day brighter! read more

Love this spot but just recently went and my gf had a bug in her salad, and I'm sorry, regardless of the establishment that doesn't stand!! I wish we had the photo but we were on a road trip and just threw it out asap, out of disgust! Please do better read more

I was here once before. I don't remember much about the first time. The 2nd one wasn't very memorable either. You pick out your silverware as you make your way to the cashier. I couldn't find one clean steak knife. I kept pulling one out of the holder only to have to lay it on the side because it had crud on it. I ended up having to use the least gross looking one. If they use a dish washer, they should wipe utensils by hand first, or get a better machine. The meat was chewy. A good steak isn't chewy is it?. They forgot one side from both of our plates. How do you forget the sides on two plates? It didn't feel clean inside, to me.. read more

Always great food at a great value. Great service and a nice homely atmosphere. My family and I frequently dine here.

The food is great and the price is right , but the server i had yesterday she was kind of rude but the food was still good.I will definitely come back to eat. read more

I used to love this place but has gone down so badly! Service by Alissa not sure the spelling was horrible! I asked for not crunchy onion rings and brought them almost burned! I asked for the manager and the was not available. The cook Doug took the complaint that our server Alissa didn't even come to see if we needed anything else. This place sucks balls! read more

This is a 5 star establishment based on value. It is the best 8 to 12 dollar steak dinner you will ever get. The salad bar is included in the meal. They make their own croutons and they are awesome!! Pile 'em high. They have a superstar on the menu that can lay claim to the title Best Anywhere At Any Price: their absolutely phenomenal grilled cheese sandwich. It is made with their highly praised cheese toast. Sourdough bread, garlic cheese spread, American cheese that runs through the ancient conveyor toaster. Heavenly. Price, about 2 bucks!! The place has not changed in 40 years. I would not want it to. A piece of Americana. read more

My go to place when I want to stay local. I like that it's cozy. The sides are good and they let you serve the fixings. I ordered the filet mignon and it was just okay. I would not order it again. I'll stick with the small cut next time. Overall, it is good for the price here. read more

Ordered here for the first time Sunday 6-14-20 and I have to say it was very delicious. Prices are reasonable for what you get my ribeye was flavorful and juicy not dry at all. Baked potato was good salad was fresh and crisp. I will definitely be returning here again hopefully to dine in. read more

When the cats away the mice will play, the reason for that comment is I visited the establishment and all the tables were full of dirty dishes and had to look around for a clean one, I do love eating there read more

Where to begin... they deleted my review a few days ago... that's okay... Worst customer service and filthy environment. Female "Servers" are so rude and have no customer service skills. I waited for 10 minutes to be asked for my order I had to ask a customer waiting and lying for the restroom if I place my order here and she said the lady will come to us who finally came to me and asked me and my roommate "you ready"? I felt like asking are you ready because she did not help us for 10 minutes and did not welcome us and say hi how are you what could we get started for you. We go through the salad bar she explains nothing to us as she stayed quiet we sit down we eat our salad we noticed other orders have came out that came in after us I asked her over which took 3 times to get her attention.. she rolls her eyes and comes over and says nothing, I ask about our dinner.. she says we never put it in or payed... And I told her you never gave us directions or told us what to do went to the manager who felt bad because he was already cleaning the kitchen but clearly just wanted to go home now and only offered to say what can I do for you. She definitely sabotaged our dinner she did this on purpose they did nothing to make our experience better not to mention the environment is filthy would not go back here unless they delete my comment again and I will definitely be going in for another wonderful wonderful experience read more

Great food! Absolutely loved it all! Had the salmon with salad, baked potato and cheese bread. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Kept checking up on us and refilling our coffee without having to ask. The restaurant has an authentic western ambiance to it. Big variety of toppings for salad and baked potatoes. Will definitely be coming back with my family! read more

Rude busboy in red hat said we were staying too long and said that we should leave already. We had just finished our dessert. Had been going to this place for 50 years. Never again. read more

This place absolutely sucks. Lettuce for salad was brown, cucumber was bitter and stale, Blucheese dressing tasting nothing of the sort. The butter was creamy and tasteless. My Porterhouse was full of fat and the meaty part was tough. My highlight was the onion rings and soda. We paid $86 dollars and will never return. read more

Good steak for a good price! Love the salad bar with all the toppings and sauces you can add on to your plate. I do suggest arriving early. As we were leaving there was a line outside the door because all the tables were occupied. I will definitely be coming back when I crave a good steak that won't break my wallet. ( which is all the time) read more

So if you only have $20 in your pocket and you're craving a ribeye and don't feel like cooking, come here. The girl up front was sweet and my steak was about an inch thick and cooked medium rare. Many steak sauces to help it along. And a big salad bar. Reminds me of 1980 when I was making less money and it was my birthday. read more

The people were very friendly and the place is nice. It the ribeye steak and filet miñon were not very good. It was nice to reminisce old times. read more

Outstanding dining experience! Exceptional service, delectable dishes, and a charming ambiance. A very real gem!

Sorry but I really have to give this place a not-so-good rating. Why? Because the quality has gone way downhill for the past year. We love steak corral for the cheap but fulfilling feast it offers but lately the cooks have been doing something weird to our steaks. They are either over cooked, undercooked, or look like they smushed hamburger patties together and called it a top sirloin. We keep giving it the benefit of the doubt but we keep getting let down. Something needs to change. Because I love my salad and baked potato bar but the steaks, the steaks need to improve. read more

Food was great as always, was disappointed with service. Young lady who took our order was distracted, keep looking at other areas of restaurant as we were giving our order. When asked what steam vegetables were offered her response was ' I'm not really sure. " did not offer to find out . We had to pick thru silverware to find clean ones. Our order was served promptly, baked potato bar was very messy, had to use napkin to clean scoop handles to serve.butter and sour cream.My friend noticed she was charged more for her meal than price posted . When mentioned it to person who was asking if we needed anything her response was "no that's the right price we just haven't changed it on menu board. Have been going here many years, food always great , just was surprised at lack of good customer service. Maybe because they had to work on Labor Day ?? read more

I ordered my food which consisted of Rib eye steak, French fries, cottage cheese and a slice of cheese toast. I had root beer and water to drink, no ice and with straw for each drink. I paid before proceeding to my booth. There was a red wooden rectangular block with a name on it to denote each ticket so the server could take the correct order to the correct table or booth. I took the drinks, utensils, napkins, blue cheese dressing (for dip for my fries) and the red rectangular block off the tray. Then I proceeded to the washroom to wash my hands. When I returned to my booth I saw that an employee had just finished cleaning my table off. I was irate and raised my voice several decibels and let him know that I wasn't finished; I hadn't even started yet. Then I saw a server with my order and explained what happened. Several minutes elapsed before an employee got napkins, utensils, drinks and the blue cheese dressing back to where I was sitting and that delay allowed my food to start cooling off. That ruined what would would have been a good meal and a terrific experience. The premature cleaning off of my table is a major fail on the part of this restaurant and this is NOT the first time this happened to me at this establishment. Their prices are better than Sizzler and I love their blue cheese dressing and their cheese toast so I expect I will eventually give them another chance. I do think that some retraining of their employees is in order to ensure nothing like this happens again. read more

It's a unique experience! Passed by and and checked Yelp, saw the 3.5 stars so decided to give it a try. I was lost for about 5 seconds in the restaurant, until a lady approached me and knowing this is my first time in this restaurant, she then introduced how everything work.... So I make the order at the front counter, move on to get my salad bar and drink, pay and sit and wait.... For a 10oz rib eye steak with 2 sides and a drink comes with it, only $12.45+tax, good deal! The steak is juicy, salad bar doesn't offer a lot of choices but sufficient. The people are friendly, although the environment is a little "old" cowboy feel, it won't give you any uncomfortable feeling. I would rather come here than going to some chain restaurants. read more

Love this place I have been going for years with my family. The steaks are great the cheese bread is delicious and there is just something about their salad bar. It's a basic salad bar nothing fancy, but the lectuce is always cold and crispy and they have really good ranch. read more

I've been here many times and it's always been good, one of the best steaks ever however for today Valentine's Day I feel the cooks might have been overwhelmed or so and my steak was very dry and very chewy, almost a choking sensation when trying to swallow. I love steak corral but today was a disappointment especially for Valentine's Day :( I just hope my next experience will be as good as the times before this visit read more

It was okay. I just really really really hate chewy steak that I pay for. I'm pretty spoiled I suppose and regularly have Wagyu, but this was pretty bad by comparison. I didn't even want to finish it there was no flavor! It was cooked to perfection but the quality of the meat utilized screammmed USDA choice and it was such bad quality that the chewiness ruined it being a medium-rare. Baked potato was kind of weirdly textured too. Think they must be boiled or steamed--it's supposed to be a **baked** potatoe people! Buttered toast was okay, could tell they had left the bread to get stale a bit too much. Overall--1/5 for quality--2/5 for topping options they even have Au Jus. read more
