This place is a grade-A dive bar for sure! TVs for sports viewing, pull tabs, super friendly bartenders, what more could you ask for!? It's located in a strip mall, and is a little unassuming from the outside, but it was relatively busy at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon so I took that as a good sign. We didn't try the food, so I can't comment there, but the Bloody Mary ($7.50) hit the spot and packed a punch! Pros Great dive bar vibe Pull tabs Easy parking read more

Great dive bar. Seems like it has a pretty regular local crew of folks that show up often. I didn't try the food, but the Mexican cook seemed like a great guy, and what food he brought out looked very good. Good happy hour. read more

Came to Steve's on Saturday night with some buddies and the burgers were awesome. Ordered some pitchers of beer and the staff took great care of us and were very kind. It was exactly the place we wanted to hang and shoot the breeze and very chill atmosphere. read more

Great food, excellent service during our lunch today! Staff was friendly and helpful in choosing our meals and let my girlfriends and I linger a long time. The chicken avocado was delicious and the tater tots couldn't be better! My friends had the habenero prawn pasta, which wasn't too hot, and the chicken strip and fries meal. All were good size portions and also delicious! For chairs they use office chairs which is unique, but I appreciated it as it's easier to move in. My only complaint, which is minor, is that some of the chairs are worn so they had some tears in the chair back. If you can look past that, then you should stop by as the food is worth it. read more

First time in for brunch and it was great! At 10:30am on a Saturday we had plenty of seating options to choose from. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance is laid back funky. Our order was delivered exactly as requested and in a timely manner, and the Benedict was very well done with a crispy English muffin, creamy hollandaise sauce, and perfectly poached eggs. If you want delicious brunch and great vibes this is a great place! read more

With its tinted windows and unassuming facade, you would never guess that Steve's Bar & Grill serves delicious breakfast food. I was craving chicken fried steak and eggs and got exactly what I wanted when I went to Steve's Bar & Grill for lunch. The eggs, hashbrown, and chicken fried steak were all cooked well, but the star of the dish was definitely the country gravy. I was a big fan of whatever spice (paprika?) they sprinkled on top of it. I also got a bite of my girlfriend's lobster benedict which tasted great as well. The price for these two dishes were also very reasonable imo ($14.95 for the chicken fried steak and $17.95 on 10-21-23). If I ever get a craving for either of these dishes, I certainly will be back for brunch. read more

I gave Steve's Bar a great review over a year ago but I had a very bad experience there 6 mths ago. Bad gray baked potato. over done steak returned then almost raw and tough. My partner was unable to eat the steak. They didn't offer to do anything for the bad food. I gave them a 2 rating on Google . ONE for food and two 4s for service and atmosphere. I went there again this past week to give them another chance to improve my experience. I was with two girl friends. The bartender came over and told me that they wouldn't serve me because I gave them a ONE review. I was shocked and so were my friends. We all got up and left and will never go back there. So if you give Steve's a bad review, expect to be kicked out of the bar for that review. We will tell all our friends that Steve's is a mean place that can't take any critical comments about their food. And kick you out if you complain at all. read more

I like dive bars, so was glad that a dive bar was around the Bel-Red area, which isn't too far from where I live. You wouldn't even know this place was around unless you passed by it in its busy business strip. After a day of wine tasting, we decided to keep the party going with one last stop at Steve's Bar & Grill. We visited on a Saturday night and the place was pretty busy, but not crowded. I loved the vibe here, as everyone, including the staff was so chill and laidback. It's a fun place, with dim lighting and lively music. Like every dive bar, they had a good list of local taps and then some, with a full bar and pub fare. It's a place where you can tell they have regulars and there's a reason for it. My friends and I shared the nachos and tots, which were A-OK. Nothing too special about the appetizers here. I did like that they had Bodhizafa on tap. The menu had a lot to offer, with standard bar food, but they also had nightly specials. I'll have to come back to check it out, as I hear the entrees are delicious; we may have just ordered the wrong grub. Until then. read more

Very small interior, but even so, they did a pretty okay spacing out people (ventilation/airflow wasn't really existent though if that bothers you) Overall though, this was a good little hangout - slightly dimmed lighting and a more calm ambiance than you would expect from a dive bar. We didn't order food, but the people next to us did and it smelled delicious!! I thought the seasonal drinks were overpriced (Mainly since mine was basically a small margarita since I didn't even get my basil!) I would still return though for normal stuff on tap or a well drink though. read more

Small, dive bar in a strip mall. There is parking. Service was very good. I can tell it is a hit with the locals. No frills. Good bar food. We got a patty melt (at bartenders suggestion) & tuna melt. Both were very tasty. Excellent tater tots. Clean bathrooms. We went around 11am on a Monday. Not too busy then. When we left about 45 minutes later-it was getting crowded. The cook brought our food out and I saw him help clearing plates. He always has a smile and seemed to really enjoy & take pride in his work. We paid $52.33 for our meals (tuna & patty melts with sides of tots), 2 club sodas and tip. I would return. read more

The service was great. Wait staff very friendly. I had a bowl of chili which they said they make there. It was delicious. My husband had a hamburger. He said it was very good. They also serve zero beer. First time for me to try. It was great! read more

Really nice neighborhood bar. As outsiders to this neighborhood, it was fun to see them watch the local football game. You could tell it was a nice town because they saw all plays as hopeful. Very good food at a reasonable price. I had a five dollar bloody Mary that was really good. read more

Well I stopped in here today when I saw this place as I was walking by. It is in a strip mall with an unassuming front. As soon as you open the door you walk into a comfortable, Old school pub. The bar is fully stocked and the beer is cold. I enjoyed a kolsh. I was not yet hungry for a for lunch but I wanted to try something. I end up getting a cup of their enchilada soup. This was so good! A hearty broth with veggies and pieces of chicken. Tortilla strips and avocado with cilantro topped it off. Very good. Their bartender/server was super attentive and helpful about the food. I brought my husband back in the evening because I saw they had a prime rib special. On Wednesdays! We walked in and found a seat right away. It was a different bartender but she came and was attentive immediately. We both got the prime rib dinner. It comes with a baked potato, loaded or not, and fresh broccoli spears. 2295$. We were very excited. My husband tried the soup to start because I recommended it. It was very good and he enjoyed it. When our prime rib came the first time it was completely well done and unappealing. We had ordered medium rare. The waitress took them back immediately and apologized. A short time later she came back with two more pieces that were medium rare. The prime rib had good flavor although it was a bit chewy. It came with creamy horseradish sauce which I like a lot! The say Jus was tasty and hot. And the potatoes were loaded with bacon cheese and sour cream with some chives. I husbands potato was nice and fluffy. Mine was a bit dark and overcooked. The broccoli was fresh crispy and tasty. Overall a nice meal. I may come again next time I'm in the area to try the prime rib again. Maybe we came a bit too late? It was 7:45 in the evening. The service was prompt, friendly, and she definitely took care of our needs. The atmosphere is public with a few TVs playing sports. People were enjoying themselves which made for a good atmosphere. read more

Came here for dinner before a work party with a party of 10, depending on the day they take reservations but always call at least when you are on your way to let them know a big party is coming. They have SOUR BEERS! The food was really good. Reminded me of after school fries. I got a BBQ Burger and it was nice. All the ingredients tasted so fresh and crisp. I had to cut it in half to eat the burger. The burger came with a side of fries. My coworker got their classic cheeseburger and OMG it looked so beautiful! The cheese melted so nicely and he said that it tasted so good. It was pretty busy and our waitress was super attentive and sweet. The music was a good selection and the atmosphere was very chill. If you live near by or need a quick place to stop by for some good food and drink, this is a spot! read more

First of all, this place was busy due to a NFL game on TV. Two people were working and handing it all well without writing anything down and not loosing their heads. Impressive! Ayerl C. bartender and server covered the whole restaurant. There was a man cooking who got good food out fast and helped serve sometimes too. I had a beer and my son has watermelon flavored Vodka. I had White Seafood pizza-clams, shrimp, mushrooms and olives-delicious. Rarely see seafood pizzas except for in Japan or Italy. My son had seafood pasta. Both good volume and priced well. We had to take half home. read more

What a great find. I have been looking for a local watering hole and this place hit the mark. I wanted some inexpensive drinks and bar eats. Steve's seemed to have a good following and feedback. I gave it a try and really enjoyed it. The people were kind, snacks pretty tasty and drinks fairly solid. I will be back to try some of the other food. read more

I don't make it out that way as much but when I do I love stopping by Steve's for some solid grub! This most recent time I kept it simple with a patty melt and tots. The service was friendly and attentive and the food (and drinks) was great as always! I do love their prime rib as well and will time my next visit to take advantage! read more

The menu options were decent. Small little bar in a strip mall type area. Very small inside and dark. We ordered food to go but when they are busy they will refuse to go orders. The food was very good. The tots were better then fries. (Fries were like dicks fry's) cost was decent for location. Their tartar and ranch was good. I would recommend. read more

Excellent service, delicious food! Stopped here because of yelp reviews, so happy we did! I can honestly say these were the best nachos we've ever had. We chose chicken, it was so flavorful and the salsa was on point! Portions are huge, almost everything is made by scratch in house. We split the nachos, couldn't finish them or touch our entrees. Super yummy! read more

Great local bar, great staff, excellent food! Very comfortable place to meet up with old friends and make new ones :-)

My boyfriend, his family, and I went to Steve's Bar and Grill for a Seahawks game and lunch before we had to head back to Vancouver, WA. We were strangers to the locals who seemingly frequent the bar, and we didn't pack our Seahawks gear for that weekend, so we may have received a few questionable looks. :) We showed our support for the Hawks, though, and all was good. We all were surprised with how delicious our food was, to be honest. It's definitely a dive bar, and the location is a bit strange, but the food really hit the spot, and we loved the Seahawks camaraderie! read more

$16 each for patron and grapefruit in a rocks glass. The first one was weak and I had to ask for stronger, she tried to charge me for a double.

I wish I would have known about this bar pre-covid when I moved to Bellevue. The staff is so kind, the vibe is awesome, but... Holy shit guys, staff the place. As a former server I know the benefit of maxing tables, but when you've got one FOH person (every time I've been here) handling all the tables, you're ruining the customer experience. An hour for food. 15 minutes for a drink. It sucks, no matter how hard the staff is killing themselves. The food is fine. Drinks are great. Staff is mega friendly and accommodating, but "Steve" needs to get it together and hire another FOH person or come in here and support "him"self. I'm not coming back here again if I have to keep eating my food from a to-go box in my car. read more

Excellent choice for a happy hour meet up with friends! They offer a small happy hour discount on draughts and have a menu full of great food options. I ordered the stuffed artichoke - I wasn't sure if it was going to be artichoke hearts or an actual artichoke so I asked the server. She assured me it would be an actual artichoke - and I was super impressed when it came out! I don't think I've ever had this dish as a restaurant, let alone a dive bar & grill off the Bel-Red area! Of course I was still eating as my friends were finished with their breadsticks and calamari but it was delicious til the last bite. I will definitely be back for the artichoke in the future as well as to try other menu items. Great service by the one server who was handling most of the restaurant - thank you! read more

For a small bar this place packs quite a punch. The owner, Steve, is from the California area way back and they have some wonderful, family recipes for their Italian cooking. You will always get a great drink from the bartenders, as well. If you are fortunate enough to meet the owner, Steve, he'll remember you for the next visit or when he sees you out. They also have Pull Tabs!! Good food, good cocktails,, amazing staff, and a friendly owner. What's not too like. read more

I'm with so many - had a friend not brought me here I would never know that it was there. My knowledge of Bellevue is restricted mostly to downtown. This was very nice! It's not fancy or beautiful. The seating is old, the decor a bit cluttered, but it's comfortable. It's somewhere you just feel like you can instantly relax. Nothing pretentious and I immediately liked that. We were quickly greeted by a woman who seemed to be running pretty much the entire place. Throughout the visit she was attentive, very friendly, and joked with us. I instantly regretted eating lunch before going here because the menu was full of various comfort foods that I would have liked to try. Hopefully another time! The drinks were fantastic. They also were at some of the best prices I've seen around. I was quite pleased with the whole evening! read more

Very impressed with this hole in the wall. Super friendly staff and bartender. Stopped in around 7 on a Friday night and it was hopping. Lot's of regulars. Excellent drink the bartender made me! She made me feel like I belonged which was very refreshing as other bars in Bellevue don't have this "inviting feel." We order a few snacks. The bruschetta and mozzarella cheese bread. Everything was spot on good! Food was made with fresh ingredients and it came out fast. Fun atmosphere! Plenty of TVs for all those sporting events that are broadcasted. We will be back! read more

Visiting this bar for the first time is like going to a wedding where everyone knows each other, except you. So it can be a bit overwhelming taking in all the camaraderie. However, this is not to say that the bartender does not pay attention to newcomers; the service is in fact prompt and nice. They make a good Old Fashioned, and the burger/tater tots combo is likely to satiate the biggest of appetites. I had the All American Cheese Burger at the recommendation of the bartender, and it was tasty. P. S. The male restroom has rather interesting wall art. read more

We were really hoping to find a fun, small bar to watch the game and enjoy some food and drinks. Also looking for a new "go to" place for the future. Reviews looked good as did the menu so we gave it a shot. Sadly, service was terrible. Looked as though they had a larger crowd than expected. Waited for beers.....and barely got an acknowledgement from that point on. Instead of appetizers, dinner and drinks we paid for our beers and left. Really bummed!! read more

I love this... "Excellent" cleanliness according to County Public Health. Certainly nothing fancy. Friendly service and really good comfort food. Opens early for those who have the day off and want to have a 'lil drinky. I feel like I could come here in my pajamas. I wonder what the nights are like? I want to find out! read more

EXTREMELY surprised by this place today. After a baseball game, my team tried to go to a place called Daman's Tavern in Bellevue but came to find it didn't open until 4PM. It was 2. Of course I went to my YELP app to find the next closest Pub/Bar type of place and Steve's was .5 miles away. 5 minutes later we show up to a strip mall where Steve's is literally a hole in the wall in between a nail salon and a vacant space for rent. Place is decorated with your grandma's furniture and there are consistently between 3 and 5 people smoking outside. In fact the bartender was walking out for a smoke when 6 of us walked in and she said darn it I better turn around. I am the bartender. I love this. If you are going to a dive bar, everything better scream dive including the bartender who catches a smoke out front every half hour or so. And she couldn't have had a better command of what was a full bar of regulars and us. Was extremely personable, competent, and simply great at her job. They did have high quality beers on tap including a Mac and Jacks which I ordered. Now I was hungry and the internal burning question for a foodie like me was "Do I order food in this place?" I decided to trust their 4 star rating on YELP and sure enough, they were right. All of us ordered food and everyone was satisfied including me who ordered a blackened chicken sandwich. Seasoning was just right and sauce was tasty. This is the ultimate example of "Don't judge a book by it's cover". Just go inside and experience. read more

Enjoyed our Cobb salad and French dip sandwich. Looked like an old school bar and grill. Sonya was pleasant, quick and personable.

Unfortunately I had a forgettable experience here. I showed up during the middle of an important conversation between the bartender and some regulars. The drink I eventually received was good but I wanted to order food. There were no menus in sight, no food on any tables, and was never asked if I wanted food. I hope to try this place again soon and change my mind! read more
