We try to frequent this gem of a steakhouse at least 3-4 times a month. The food and service are top-notch. The super Stockyard is our favorite with mushrooms. The salad dressings are homemade and the plates are chilled, a rarity in 90% of places. It's always good, everything, from the supreme service to the food. What upsets me are the ridiculous comments people make about this wonderful institution. From the prices to the low quality comments. This place is generally 3/4 full every time we come. Are you people who are complaining blind? The steaks are cooked perfectly every single time, I can't say that about all the other steak places. You don't stay in business for 50 plus years selling terrible food and bad service. People, Please read past all the picky comments which in my experience are people without any taste in more ways than one. I'm grateful to have this place and I drive an hour to get here and an hour back. Yeah it's got old school charm but a slick modern look like the rest has a higher price tag, like a $55 steak and upwards. Like I said, this place is a gem, we are lucky to have them. Get your steak done right. Just go and be grateful read more

I'm sorry to post this...but you guys lost your touch straight up BIG TIME ... We went Saturday for dinner .... EVERY SINGLE UTENSIL ON OUR TABLE WAS DIRTY ... like really..?​...​​​ I'm not taking water spots...I'm talking pieces of food chunks.... OUR PLATES HAD DRIED KETCHUP TOO... Our steaks had ZERO flavor .... 100% bland... Nothing like the amazing steaks you guys made.... WHOEVER cooked your steaks in the past....BRING THEM BACK!​​​ The baked potatoes looked frozen / reheated..... I'd strongly recommend a 100% total TOP TO BOTTOM cleaning of that restaurant ... everything just looked grimy and dusty... lastly we had an incredible amount of gnats and PINCHER BUGS in our table....the dinner was sadly...I won't be back.....you lost a 30 year customer.... read more

This location has been around forever and sadly you can tell that by the condition of the tables and booths. Tape covering holes, well worn seats and droopy cushions. The food had always been stellar and this time it was sub-par. The bacon wrapped steak has so much fat and gristle it was inedible. Zucchini fries were yummy tho!! Our server (never told us her name) was polite and nice. Could have been a bit more attentive but still polite. Over all is an "ok" place for an average meal. read more

Steer N Stein in Rancho Cucamonga has that classic old school steakhouse vibe that instantly feels comforting. The atmosphere is nostalgic in a way that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. The food was delicious and hearty, exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. The service was friendly in that genuine, old fashioned way that feels increasingly rare. It's the kind of spot that reminds you why longtime local favorites stick around. read more

Steer N' Stein - Steakhouses Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Always pass by this establishment but never really appeal to me. Today decided to give it a go. Food: 7 oz sirloin & baby back ribs with grilled shrimp. Grilled patty melt and pepper steak with veggies. Con's: steak was ok not much seasoning but tender the ribs not really good dry and hard a little to much BBQ sauce shrimp could use more time on the grill Pepper Steak not much seasoning just ok. Patty melt good. Other than the Rib Eye most steaks are sirloin. Service: real good and attentive Ambiance: just an old steak house nothing fancy which is ok. Unless someone in my family wants to go back I will but not a place I pick to many steak places better for the price read more

Been coming for years but sat 4/2 we took our grandchildren to dinner after bragging about. 144.00 it was a disaster. My husband steak was literally carne asada . My grandson ribs undercooked like leather when chewed. His baked potato loaded w butter enough he gagged. My cod dry. I cant begin to tell u how embarrassing it was. We showed waitress everything but to have to wait again to fix to many items. Dont think so. To explain in front of ppl w management dont think so. 144 broke bank for us. What has happened? read more

Sixteen years can go by in the blink of an eye... unless you walk into Steer 'n Stein. I moved back to Rancho Cucamonga in 2010, and somehow all those years since then have flown by. But every time I come here, it feels like 2010, 2011, or 2013 all over again. Back when life felt a little simpler, before everything got a little crazy. While Rancho has grown and spots around Victoria Gardens keep coming and going, this place has stayed exactly the same. It also brings back even older memories of going to the original Chino location with my grandparents as a kid, which makes it hit on a deeper level. This is not just a restaurant to me. It is tied to different chapters of my life. We dined in for the first time in about eight or nine years, and it felt like nothing had changed in the best way. Same menu, same warm and attentive service, same familiar steakhouse atmosphere that just feels comfortable and genuine. The food still delivers. The stockyard steak is reliable, the baked potato comes out piping hot, and the French toast is still a standout. Even the simple house salad works. Crisp, fresh, and no frills. And your drink will never go empty. There is something special about a place that does not try to reinvent itself. It just stays consistent, and in doing so, it becomes part of your story. My only small critique is the credit card surcharge being passed on to customers. I understand it, but it would feel more seamless if it were built into the pricing. Time keeps moving, Rancho keeps evolving, and life keeps changing... but this place stays right where you left it. And that might be its greatest strength. read more

I have been going to variations of this restaurant with different names but the same menu for years since I was a little boy and I'm gonna be 62 in June the food is always good. The service is always good. The atmosphere is great. I've never had a bad meal there and will continue to go back until I can no longer chew a steak ha ha ha. read more

It has been years since I've been to a steer n stein. As a kid my parents would go at least once a week so I have so many good memories there . My grandpa lives near this location and my mom was in town so I made the long trek up to Rancho to eat lunch with my mom and I had missed my favorite, the fried zucchini. Walking in took me back to early 90s like I had been transported me right back to my childhood . I will say I failed as an elite because I was so busy catching up with my mom I literally took only one picture :( The zucchini and ranch were just as i remembered it, so good ! Everyone I was with got steaks , I got a hamburger . The steaks were decent , but for the price just go to a different steakhouse . Hamburger I'm pretty sure was just a frozen piece of meat that comes from a box or something cheap. It was poor quality but of course I still ate it . For a bill of 200$ for 5 people this place should have been much better . It felt like low budget food but set at an insane price . Even the zucchini was 16$. I'll probably never come here again , unless it's just for the zucchini but even then I probably won't. read more

Steer N' Stein - Fried zucchini - Steakhouses Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Worth the wait. A crowded restaurant on a weeknight is a good sign of a good meal. Eventually was seated in a booth in the dining room. Pink lemonade tastes freshly made and was tasty. Zucchini fries are a highlight, dipped in tempura batter light and easy to eat. Steak and burger were nothing special but good nonetheless. read more

We love the zucchini and was looking forward to the fish & chip since they use the same batter as the zucchini. Was very disappointing. Fish was only two small pieces for the price. Service by Stephine was great. She's friendly & been there 30 years. We've been coming her for 20 years. read more

Went here for dinner recently, and still dreaming about their zucchini appetizer. It was crispy and delicious even without ranch dressing to dip! They also had loaded baked potato skins and fried onion ring tower, but my favorite was the fried zucchini. They also had a large sized strawberry lemonade which was standard. I got their grilled cod lightly seasoned with no butter with veggies and side salad. Each plate came with buttery, cheesy, garlic toast, which was good but I think had too much butter in there. Butter lovers would rejoice though. My husband got their marbled rib eye steak with the same sided and thought it was good. He's had better, but overall it was sweet and juicy, and not too chewy. Overall, not too shabby for a first time visit. Wish they had more options for non-meat eaters, but I was still content with the selection provided. read more

The service is great, seated quickly for an early saturday dinner. Staff is pretty attentive. Place has some LED lights now, so it's a tad bit brighter; it's ok for steak places to be bright, doesn't impact the food. We had a mixtures of things, the steak sandwich was good as was the mash side. The burger tasted like it was actually ground in the back and not from frozen patty pantry the 1 piece of bacon on it was pretty good, bulky and seasoned as was the beef; the pickles paired with the beef to offset the richness; all in all a good burger The side chili beans was a good pick; actual meat in the beans; no hint of just adding bbq sauce; some time was put into the recipe on this one; give it a shot. The steak was hit and miss various consistencies in the cook; and the side potato was eaten without complaint. The homemade slaw surpassed other places pre bought in bag options. Parking is a little tough due no fault to the restaurant of course. Price a little high for a burger at $15 base, steak sand at $17 and steak at $20; I suggest drop the burger price a bit to compete with your across the street full in n out at $8 for a meal. read more

If you're looking for cheap steak on a budget, Steer 'n Stein gets the job done--you get what you pay for. The meat cuts are low quality, the veggies come out soggy and steamed, but the baked potato is solid (hard to mess that one up). What really disappointed me, though, was the $16 charge for sautéed mushrooms and onions. The menu listed mushrooms as an extra for $4, so I asked if they could sauté them with onions. They said "sure"--never mentioned it would cost another $4 for the onions, and even added a second charge for the same toppings on both steaks. When I questioned it, the response from the waitress was careless: "That's just what it is," and she walked away. No explanation, no accountability. Steak's cheap, but communication and transparency? Even cheaper. read more

Steer N' Stein - My reciept and what I paid - Steakhouses Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Walked in with a party of 11 with no reservation, waited around 35 minutes for a table to open up. In the end they offered us two separate booths which meant the whole party could not sit together. This was fine with us since we were hungry and wanted to just eat. Server was friendly and quick with our drink refills, and also brought out the food in a timely manner. I ordered the steak and ribs combo with the chili bean soup as my opener. The soup was surprisingly flavorful and opened my appetite for more food. The steak itself was tasty, but not the best I have had. The mashed potatoes were very soft, but a little bland on its on. The gravy helps a little, but I don't think I would order that side again. Kinda wish I got a baked potato instead. The ribs were the best part of my dish. Fall off the bone tender and sweet tangy bbq sauce to go with it. I would come back just for the plate of baby back ribs. read more

Since nineteen sixty seven or over fifty years they've been grilling it up for the locals. So we just had to find out why this place is popular and why they were voted Best steak ten years in a row in the Inland Empire. The place has that old west type of feel with the sticky floors and dark lit atmosphere. The service is super friendly all around and that's one thing I know the locals love. The first time around I ordered the Specialty Steak which was a seven ounce sirloin. It actually reminded me of home grilled carne asada which was alright with me. So the second time around I had the Rib Eye that was supposed to be well marbled and the juiciest of them all but it wasn't. Hey, everyone has an off day or maybe it's the Tariffs man but you get what you pay for. The prices are fair and that's compared to the others and that right there is probably why it's popular plus some people just like things the way they are and they are use to it. And that's my take, Peace... read more

Went once and never will return. Ordered rib eye with no flavor and had to drown it with A1. A good steak doesn't need A1 so there you go. I don't get who voted this place as best steak.

We had dinner at this location last week. We had a large group of 18 people, and the restaurant staff had no issue putting together a bunch of tables to accommodate our group. During our dinner the power went out three times, each time the staff was extremely patient and hardworking. Marisa was our server and she was phenomenal! She was so patient with our group and got everything on the table quickly, even with the power outages. The food was good, I was just happy we got food with the spotty electricity. read more

Great food great service The weight was well worth it. I really enjoyed it. I definitely recommended it. I'll be back.

I was craving steak for a while and finally decided to give this place a try since it's close to work. I got the 7oz choice sirloin cooked rare. It hit the spot without breaking the bank. I'll be coming back when the craving hits again. read more

530pm on Monday, table for 5. Even though I wanted to order a soda and appetizer can't be seated until everyone is there which was in 15 minutes. Ridiculous. 90% of the restaurant was empty and no one else waiting for a table. Bad business "policy" read more

I was really disappointed with both the service and steak. I let my server Alyssa know I ordered medium and it was rare... even raw in some parts. I ordered the loaded potato and didn't get the toppings. She offered to bring me them on the side but it's never the same since the cheese is cold so I said "No, thank you, I just didn't want to be charged for toppings I didn't get." The server rolled her eyes and after that she started whispering and staring at us with another server. A few minutes after she brought the check and to go boxes while we both had full plates. It felt like she was rushing us out since I mentioned my steak and potato weren't right. We asked another server for a bag and it fell and they still expected us to use it from the nasty floor. read more
