Came here for the first time with my wife celebrating our 17th year wedding anniversary. Appetizers: Jumbo Lump Crab Cake- tons of fresh crab meat that was flavorful. Escargot Stuffed Mushrooms- a bit tiny, but packed with buttery goodness. Entrees: A5 Wagyu Flat Iron- this was a special and it wasn't tender enough to cut with just a fork like I've experienced, but still pretty tender and very juicy. Seasoned perfect to eat by itself, but it came with 4 different restaurant-made steak sauces. Mesquite Smoked Short Ribs- very tender and can be torn to shreds with a fork. Comes with mash potatoes and gravy and some crispy noodles for texture. Very flavorful. Sides: Maple Bacon Pecan Brussel Sprouts- very delicious and flavorful. Smoked Mashed Potatoes- very thick and smokey, but delicious. Definitely need some water lol. Poblano Creamed Corn- my wife liked this, but I didn't care for that creamy corn texture lol. Dessert: Marie Antoinette Cake- chocolate mousse cake that was perfectly rich with some kind of raspberry or berry drizzle. Also came with these super delicious alcoholic infused strawberries that paired super well. Overall, it was a pricey dinner, but not as pricey as I thought. Definitely had a great time and worth the price and experience. The restaurant ambience was dim and cabin-like setting with lots of beautiful decor. Our waiter, Gabriel was super friendly and helpful. He recommended a lot of our dishes tonight. Lots of parking and they also offer complimentary valet services. read more

Had an awesome dinner at The Republic. The Gulf Shrimp Beurre Monté was a killer appetizer -- perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The ribeye was cooked right and tasted incredible. The poblano cream corn might be one of the best sides we've ever had. The key lime pie with the almond graham cracker crust was the perfect way to end it. And the Mash Madness whiskey competition is such a cool touch -- blind tasting between A and B like March Madness for bourbon. Makes it even more fun. read more

I've been a big fan of The Republic for years but had an experience there about 18 months ago and don't think I'll be back. Wife ordered a filet, I ordered NY Strip, and the waiter brought two filets. I was really feeling like a NY Strip that night so I very politely told the waiter I ordered the Strip. It took a while for the steak to arrive (medium rare) and when it finally did arrive, it was good. I got the check and noticed I was charged for both the filet I didn't eat and the Strip I did eat. I called my waiter back to the table to let him know. I hadn't said a thing at that point, and he said "yeah, I know you were charged for both the filet and Strip." So, he knew it before giving me the bill. There's no other explanation I can think of but the waiter thinking "maybe he won't notice...". Not a good look at all. read more

The steak, bisque and the whiskey were superb. We sat in the bar area and the atmosphere was wonderful. Service was outstanding and he was very attentive. The price was great for what we have to pay in San Antonio. Highly recommend read more

Brilliant. The pork chop I ordered was cooked to perfection, and was juicy, tender, flavorful and had a great side of lemon zest asparagus. The service was great, and the old fashioned with the popcorn kernel whiskey was delightful. This food made my headache go away....unbelievable. This is the best high end restaurant in college station, next time I will order a steak. The ambiance is very delightful, and the dark lighting was a vibe. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Had a date night at the republic tonight and as usual it did not disappoint. Let's start with our waiter, Dawson. Dawson was amazing. He is very knowledgeable about everything on the menu, the wine list and the cocktail list. He has a great personality that meshes well in a steak house environment. He made excellent recommendations on both drinks and food. We started with the Gulf Shrimp Beurre Monte, Holy Cow!!!! This is an amazing appetizer and I highly recommend it. I had the Prime New York Strip and my wife had the Petite Filet Mignon with the twice baked potatoes. Both were cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. We love The Republic and will return for sure read more

This is one of the very few fine-dining establishments in this small city of ours, and it does strive to provide a very authentic high-end steakhouse experience, be it in terms of service, presentation, or the food itself. I had been waiting to eat here for a long time, and finally got the chance to do so. I will say that I have had better steak for similar (or lesser) prices elsewhere (nowhere in College Station though), given that I couldn't even notice even a hint of dry-aged flavor on the steak (although it was soft like butter). The oysters were good, but again, I have had better. The sides (mashed potatoes and asparagus) were like standard steakhouse sides. We had mocktails which were rather nice. So overall, a very nice experience, but maybe not worth the eye-watering prices. Also, maybe age the steaks more so the dry-aged funk really comes through. read more

It was our last day of training and we decided to splurge at The Republic on a Thursday evening. We had no reservations and the place was packed! But no worries! We were welcomed at the full service bar by an attentive bartender. I ordered the Wedge salad which was a solid appetizer accompanied by the complimentary bred and butter. The braised beef was filling and tasty, Brussel sprouts great, and French toast desert to die for! The FIG Old Fashion was also out of this world! I highly recommend this place but strongly recommend reservations! It's worth it! read more

The Republic rocks. I spent a week in College Station and was able to try a bunch of local restaurants. The Republic was easily the best restaurant I tried. The atmosphere and tone were perfect. I had dinner and cocktails at the full-service bar, and the bartenders that helped me were fantastic. The prices are on the higher end, but I feel I still got my money's worth. If you're ever in the area and want to splurge for a nice dinner, give The Republic a try. read more

What an absolute treat! This was my first time trying the Republic and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was great and have good recommendations. We were provided bread and butter, that were great. I so enjoyed the New Mexico Fried Chicken! The flavors were unique and memorable. I ate in the leftovers for two meals. The place had a great ambiance. They provide free valet. There isn't much parking, so I took a chance and parked by Starbucks. Just know that they charge gratuity for large groups. Looking forward to returning! read more

Their food is the best!!! Perfection as always. Great atmosphere and the service is always tops. On a work night we don't always feel like going out because 5am comes quick. We'd love the option to stop on our way home and pick up our yummy favorites to eat. read more

The food is so amazing and the staff was great. And very knowledgeable about the food.

Long time favorite in CSTAT. Service and food is wonderful. Book reservations well in advance read more

I'd rate it 3.5 stars if I could: the food is overpriced in my opinion ($46 + tax + tip for a Prime Ribeye) but you're really paying for the experience. * Attire: The Republic is the epitome of "fine dining": be prepared to wear a suit or an upscale dress! * Ambiance: The atmosphere reminds me of a modernized 18th-century manor and the decor is pretty chic, with lots of wood and fancy-looking tables and chairs. (Although, this is specific to the room where I was sitting. I believe there's a bar with stools.) * Food quality: I will say the Prime Ribeye was very tender although it could have used a tad more spice. The bottle of wine we got was incredible: the best red I've ever tasted! * Portion size: the cheese plate was a tad small to share between 8 people, but the Prime Ribeye was massive! * Service: The servers were so wholesome and friendly! You could tell they were passionate about their job and they were very prompt, despite managing many tables. read more

Listen! I am one of those people that orders my steak medium well or well done. So let me get that out of the way first and foremost. I am also one of those people that absolutely loves to put A1 steak sauce on my steak. Say what you want, you're not eating it. This place did not have A1 steak sauce. I was skeptical at first, but because I was with a group, I just went along with it. The prices are on the expensive side, which I kind of expected. But, never in my life have I eaten a steak without steak sauce, and said that it was the best steak ever, until I had a steak at this place. This was hands-down the best steak I have ever eaten in my life. The bartenders, they were knowledgeable, funny, and non-judging of my well done steak preference. This steak, this restaurant, will single-handedly keep college Station, Texas on my list of places to revisit. Period if you are reading this, find a way to get to this restaurant. Damn that was a good steak. read more

Food is amazing. This is probably the BEST New York strip -- scratch that, the best steak I've ever eaten and that is coming from someone who has eaten at top Dollar steakhouses like Vic and Anthony's and Eddie V's. IT WAS SO TENDER. I ACTUALLY THINK THAT IT BEAT THE $150 WAGYU THAT I'VE EATEN AT VIC AND ANTHONY'S The scallops were fresh and light and the orzo just complemented it so well. The place has an amazing ambience and definitely a place where you would want to dress to impress. The staff, namely, Brooke, was super nice and accommodating with us, celebrating my brothers graduation at a later time due to the travel. our server, Grace was also prompt and attended to us throughout our meal. Overall, this was a great experience and we will be coming back! read more

Food was very good. We did enjoy our steaks as they came out at the proper temps. We also got some of the sides as well. Service was excellent. Only knock was in the room we were assigned it was hard to hear each other with some of the louder groups around us. read more

I don't usually take the time to do a review, but this place most certainly deserves one! Made a reservation (which is encouraged) for a birthday celebration and this place did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in the decor is impressive, you're greeted with professionalism and seated quickly. Followed by some of the best customer service that I have encountered in a really long time. Attention to detail was amazing! Food was amazing! This will definitely be my go to for an amazing food and dining experience! 10 stars in my book read more

Was there for business The service was on point I can tell that they train their staff correctly However the steak I had was so tough and full of fat it was the worse I have had in a long time They labeled it "Prime NY Strip" There is no way this was a Prime steak, more like local cow . They are not checking their vendor or quality checking . The product doesn't match the beautiful place They should take a trip to Houston and eat at the top Steak Houses here and compare meat quality. I should have gone to Salt Grass at least I know what Im getting read more

Can't believe I've been going here for over 10 years now. Made it back down there for a game twice this season and had several new items that were incredible. I'm more of an app person so I try to get two or three apps each time so I can try several things. As always the drinks are great. Ryan makes a heck of a Bloody Mary still, but also a great Old Fashioned. The Filet Mignon Tartare is delicious. I asked for a recommendation from a friend and was not very happy when he told me tartare, but I trusted him and got it. Incredible. Seasoned perfectly. No raw gross beef flavor like you might expect. Very good! Will get every time I go back. Jumbo Lump Crab Cake is incredible as well. Big pieces of crab, mixture seasoned very well and cooked perfectly. Served with several sauces. My favorite was the creole burre blanc. Shrimp Burre Monte is insane if you're more of a sauteed shrimp type person. Can't go wrong with this one. The most recent app I tried was the Gulf Coast Shrimp Cocktail. I never would have ordered it until I heard the guy next to me at the bar telling his girlfriend "holy S*#! that's good" at least 3 times. Couldn't NOT get it after that. They're massive shrimp served with several sauces. My favorite was the Chimichurri Bernaise. I could drink that stuff. Can't wait to get back! read more

Food was delicious, portions were smaller then expected me service is over the top, very informative staff, nice clean high end restaurant.

My husband I love this place. We usually get the butchers cut, NY strip, Ribeye, or Filet. Yesterday I tried the redfish and loved it. We've also enjoyed the steak tartare and escargot stuffed mushrooms. My favorite sides are the macaroni and cheese and asparagus. The mashed potatoes were a little too smoky for my taste. The crème brûlée is excellent, and so is the chocolate mousse cake. They have a great bar, including nonalcoholic beer and mixed drink options (the strawberry cucumber smash was outstanding). The only entree we agreed didn't blow us away was the pork schnitzel. We love the cozy ambiance. The restaurant is sectioned into smaller rooms to provide a quieter more enjoy atmosphere. The service has never disappointed. Overall highly recommend. read more

Absolutely the best steak house I've been to in a long time. I did have an off menu item and honestly you can't go wrong with A5 wagu flat iron. So I can't speak for the menu steak entrees. What was neat is finding a new temperature, rare +. That magical temp between rare and medium rare . Just perfect. Accompanied with an heirloom tomato burrata salad. A play on a carprese salad, they use formed ciabatta deep fried croutons. Didn't care for those, I believe if they would have torn ciabatta bread, drizzled some olive oil and baked till crunchy would have made that salad so much better. And, the tomatoes were more of a mix of grape tomatoes than heirloom tomatoes. The service was amazing, the staff does exceptionally well at taking care of the customers. What a fantastic steak house. Can't wait to go back. read more

Meh. Nice for a date night if you want fancier food and want to impress a date. Better to start your dating life at Pepe's so you can see how your date responds to adversity. Waiter was a bit too chatty. Seemed like he might be new and learning the ropes. Nice atmosphere. Parking is not too bad. The prices are too high for the quality and quantity. read more

Great service and wonderful food. It is a little pricey, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. The wait staff truly wants you to have a great dining experience too read more

Had dinner here for the first time last week. Was somewhat disappointed given all the hype. Ordered the petite fillet--medium--but it was overcooked and served at room temperature. Steak sauces nothing to write home about. Filet at Christopher's is much better, imo. Shared sides of asparagus, Yukon potatoes, and Mac & cheese--all ok but not great. Service good, atmosphere festive but very loud. read more

This place is a steakhouse true to form. Quality of steaks and preparation seemed to be top notch. For me the sides always make or break a steakhouse and we thoroughly enjoyed the creamed corn, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes that we ordered. I tried the lobster bisque which was very good, the salads looked good and I ordered the Gulf Shrimp Beurre Monte and it was outstanding! Since we were out with a group we also tried 3 different desserts. The grilled apple French toast was awesome as was the key lime pie, the cheesecake was good but certainly took the backseat to the other two. We were there during Mash Madness which was a fun take on trying different whiskeys. Our server was nice, knowledgeable and attentive and made several really good recommendations for our meal. Environment was good for dinner with friends, a romantic dinner or a business dinner inn my opinion. Certainly a place I'd dine at again. read more

The Republic is another top notch steak restaurant. It's another special occasion type of place like Christopher's but you can't go wrong with anything you order, as I haven't come across anything that I don't like in particular at the Republic. The staff is always been very helpful, professional, attentive, and accommodating every time I've been to the Republic with my family. read more

I was taken here by a friend. I got the Chicken Fried Filet and mashed potatoes. The steak and potatoes were awesome. The place was packed with customers, but the meal was served extremely fast.

We made a last minute reservation and headed over for a celebration dinner. We ordered a bottle of 2018 Peju Cabernet Franc. Peju is a premier winery located in the heart of Napa's Rutherford AVA. Their Cabernet Franc is dry and dense like a cabernet sauvignon, but with more earth notes and less fruit forward. Delicious. I ordered the Prime Bone-Off Ribeye black-and-blue. The steak was crazy big, juicy, with little fat, and no sinew. It was perfectly done with a nice surface char. My wife ordered the Grilled Texas Red Fish. While the fish was delicate, juicy, and nicely spiced, she was initially shocked at the Cajun take on risotto. After the initial disconnect, she enjoyed its slightly tomatoey Cajun twist. We ordered the Pecorino Creamed Spinach and Prosciutto Almond Green Beans. Both were wonderfully flavored. The green beans were firm and short of al dente. The wait staff were attentive and helpful and friendly... not intrusive. They rounded out the amazing dinner with their great service. All in all, we will be back for another great meal in the future. read more

The Republic is one word. Consistent. The virtue and vice cocktail is delicious, you can taste the gin but it has a perfect lemon and elderflower hints! Every time I have been here the short ribs have been delectable and never have missed!! The bread service is delish served with a flaky salt, but the Caesar salad is small and average. The Apple French toast is delicious and the ambiance is dimly lit but perfect for a date nice or nice dinner!!! Would definitely recommend if you are in town for a nice dinner! read more

Came to town on business was able to get a seat. Came here two different nights and outstanding service from Joseph and Heather and a very nice dinner. I went with the Sirloin with Shrimp Beurre Monte topper. We shared their generous sides with the table and got the Bacon Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes, and the Brussel Sprouts. I was very impressed with the drink selection. One of the coolest things I've seen is their bourbon bracket game they play. They match various whiskey's against each other and the selection costs $12 to play and you get two of the current "teams" playing. You tell the waiter which you like better, and place your vote. Once you vote, they tell you which you got and the winner moves on to the next round the following week or bracket. Super fun, and had some great new whiskeys I hadn't tried before. Great food, cool restaurant, and great service. What more do you want! read more

My husband and I were in town for a wedding. We weren't sure what to eat for dinner and scoured Yelp for suggestions. We originally wanted to go next door to Primrose bc we weren't sure if a steakhouse was the setting that we were trying to go to that late. There was a private event, so we walked next door. It worked out for the best! The drink menu was very unique. We gave the waiter our preferences. He suggested a discontinued drink item for me and a drink on the menu for my husband. It was spot on. Our food was absolutely delicious. We got chargrilled oysters for an appetizer. My husband got the lamb rack, and I got the scallops. Mushrooms on the side were so earthy and delicious. We don't normally order dessert, but we had to and got something to share. We highly recommend this place. If we ever go back to College Station, we'll definitely return. read more

I really enjoy going here when I feel the need to be classy. People are very friendly and the drinks are fantastic. The options of olives and garnish with martinis are incredible, and the bartenders can be lots of fun. I have eaten here several times and each time the meal is outstanding. The meat is cooked to perfection, and the herbs are perfectly complimenting to the meat you order. They provide sauces, but the meat/pasta/seafood is perfect on its own. read more
