    We ordered 2 medium rare 24oz steaks. What we received was (1) 24oz and the other one about a little under 20oz. After 50 minutes I guess they thought we ordered well done…I guess the cook thought this was medium rare. We asked for the manager and she came out ready to fight. Very defensive and down right rude! We will never be back! I guess it explains why the place was so empty.

    I don't know how often you may pass through New Jersey on 95 but just off exit 9 hwy 18 is Arthur's Steakhouse & Pub. It's definitely worth the stop because it's very rare to get this old time feel plus the delicious food. My steak and shrimp were perfectly cooked. Great people who focus on serving others with top notch service. I use to think folks had to dress up but I'm all Truck Driver. I did shower this morning so I'm sure that helped.

    I decided to come here for the first time in 13 years. It's still the same interior I remembered it still has a dive bar feel to it except they got rid of the red and white checkerboard table cloths. I ordered a cowboy burger (SWISS CHEESE, BACON, SAUTEED MUSHROOMS, SAUTEED ONIONS, LETTUCE & TOMATOES). It was pretty good a little under cooked but it was still good. My waitress was very friendly and attentive. Overall it's an ok place it's still the same as I remember it is not a high end place even though they price it near that range. But it's still good if you're in the area

    I am giving a generous two stars because of my true love of the memories that Arthur's has given me dating back to 1995 when a good friend recommended I stop for a great steak at an excellent price. I will be forwarding this review to him as a remembrance (eulogy) of a great place that no longer offers either. My fiancee and I visited on Monday August 8th and we sat at the bar. Much to my chagrin, there wasn't an employee in sight for almost 10 minutes. Thankfully, there were a few customers in view so my first thoughts of robbery with hostages locked in the storage closet were dispelled. The delay kind of worked out well because it gave us time to become acclimated to the horrible musty odor that permeated the building, either emanating from a roof leak or the 20 year old carpet.( Yes I remember the "new carpet.") Our first thought of splitting was outweighed by my urge for a steak I once knew. We were greeted by our hostess, bartender, bus person, food runner and possibly manager, Daysy. Yes, it was a one person show. She was pleasant and did the best she could under circumstances obviously dictated by absentee management. We received our food fairly quickly once Daysy took our order. Simple, straight forward, two 24 once steaks medium rare, well done home fries, and garlic bread with mozzarella. Well, I 'll start positive and say that the bread was pretty good. The steak arrived well done and the home fries were obviously put under the broiler and burnt. The quality of the meat was close to what it normally would be (we never expected prime here), it was always about the magic which has obviously been lost. The quality the value and the ambience have all been destroyed. The steak is hovering on forty bucks and a pint of Yuengling is at 7.50 ( Manhattan prices). Far too close to the prime steak house prices, (our favorite in Westfield offers a ribeye with a side for forty-eight and Amstels are six). Absent a successful round of CPR or a reincarnation of Houdini the place is doomed. The search should be on for a buyer of the real estate and corporate purchase of the Liquor license for use on Route 1.

    One of the worst steaks I had in my life. I asked for medium and got it well done. No seasoning at all. I don't know if it's because I came 8:30 and ordered before the kitchen closed, but this was my first and last time.

    Best steak for the money - period. I travel all over the US for my job and I've had some pretty good steaks, but none matches the value per dollar of Arthur's. Yes, the atmosphere could use improvement, especially the carpet, but it's a tavern, not an upscale steak house. I will happily sacrifice some aesthetics for this wonderful steak, which I think is one of the best steaks in NJ, if not the US.

    One of oldest and best place to have steak, burgers add French onion soup. Reasonable price. Highly recommended! 👍🏼

    Somehow a bit of a hidden gem - super juicy and tasty streaks and a pretty simple menu. The place looks to be stuck in the 80s/early 90s in terms of looks but who cares.

    Order a medium done steak, receive a dry charcoal steak, came here because it was recommended to me but dont bother coming here for steak or the so sea food platter, is nothing but deep fry fish and two shrimps and calamari, we told the waitress about the situation she supposedly went to speak with the manager but just came back with the bill, i just gave my dog the steak and left the sea food on the table. 130$ down the drain.

    Steaks are amazing, and cooked to perfection. Never have I had to return a steak. Beer is fresh as well. Dessert portions are huge! I recommend either sharing a dessert, or you could always take it home. Parking is in the back. Plenty of it

    First of all, let me start with Carson, the amazingly patient person who took my order over the phone. I was in the middle of driving, and call to place an order for pickup when all of a sudden a horrible storm started. My phone kept cutting out I had to call the restaurant back. Carson was so nice and so friendly and helpful. I haven't been to Arthur's in decades, but recently moved nearby and thought I would try it. I did read the reviews first but I wanted to see for myself. I'm very picky with my food, and I have to say the steak was delicious and cooked to perfection the order was accurate and the food was hot and delicious. I forgot to take a picture before I started digging in LOL so the first picture looks a little sloppy because it was so good. The sirloin steak was great mushrooms and onions they were nice enough to put them on the side I also got a baked potato and I had the French onion soup as an appetizer which was really really good . The strawberry cake for dessert was delicious and fresh. The prices and portions were good. I will definitely be back again to try some of the other menu items. Anyone who gave a bad review I suggest giving it another try.

    There’s no better place in the USA 🇺🇸 to eat a steak 🥩 as good as at ours. Not a big chain, great employees, they love their customers and want you to come back

    We recently had dinner at Arthur's and the food was really good. My steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. They have a good selection of sides and very good beers on tap. I also highly recommend the desserts. Especially the dozen layered cakes. Plan to return soon!

    WARNING ⚠️ AVOID DINNING HERE OR ORDERING!! They are under new management and THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE NOW. They have an entirely new staff and they don't know how to make the food like the previous owners. And furthermore, they can't cook at all! I order a Reuben pastrami, and they made OLD CORN BEEF. They refuse to reimburse or make another with pastrami. The CORN BEEF WAS EXPIRED! You have been WARNED!!! AND I FOUND OUT THE 5STAR RATING ARE FROM THE STAFF AND FAMILY OF THE STAFF! JUST WRONG!!

    Just went here for the 1st time tonight. Jessica the bartender is awesome! The atmosphere is great. We had beer, cheese fries and homemade coleslaw. They also gave us complimentary pickles, cherry pepper and delicious salad with a sweet vinegarette dressing. Perfect for a warm day. Next time I'm having a steak. The menu has some great choices and nice sides to pick from. I am so glad I finally stopped in!

    Atmosphere is 1960's dreary wood. Food was basic steakhouse. We waited about 30 minutes for bar drinks and water. Our waitress was polite and friendly but one waitress on a Saturday evening could only do a mediocre job. The restaurant wasn't even very busy. The manager should have been checking on the customers or offering assistance. The steak was tasty but not worth the money we spent.. Arthur's menu is limited. Few appetizers were appealing. I won't be returning for another meal ever again.

    1st timer from Indiana. Great food and nice portions. Reasonable prices. Fireplace kept it warm. Service a bit slow, but otherwise no complaints. I had the baked cod and it was very good. Check it out!

  • 5/5 S B. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    What can I say? I'm biased and I love everything about this place from the food to the atmosphere. If you love steak and potatoes (yes they offer more), sports on TV and a wait staff and bartenders that are very attentive but not pushy, then this is the place for you. They're not cheap, but you also will not break the bank.

  • 5/5 joe k. 1 year ago on Google
    Met friends and had dinner and drinks. Food was good with plenty of choices for a picky eater all the way up to a ravenous carnivore... lol. Had appetizers, guys had steaks, ladies had burgers. Most definitely a meat lovers place to go ! P.S. The pickles are great... firm, crunchy, crisp, perfectly tart.... no limp dill here !!! I even requested extra ... lol

  • 5/5 Ashley J. 11 months ago on Google
    My family and I went to this place today and the food was absolutely delicious!! Each of our portions were huge the food was well seasoned and flavorful! We never been here before and decided to give it a try and were so satisfied! We will definitely be coming back! The service was great too!

  • 4/5 Matt Y. 11 months ago on Google
    Arthur's isn't a high class steakhouse but better than the "average American steakhouse" in terms of quality and bang for your buck. I think the price is fair for the portion size. I've had just a couple times where the steak is overcooked but most of the time the steak is on point, hence the reason for 4/5 stars on food. They don't have comp bread but have comp slaw and pickles + hot pepper, it's really good. Note they don't have steak portions under 12oz.

    The food at Arthur's is top notch. They make the best French Onion Soup in the business. Their menu is great. Lots of variety. Their steaks are always cooked to perfection and their service is outstanding. I highly recommend. 5 stars all the way!

    I happened to be in the area visiting a friend in the hospital, so it wasn't a good evening to begin with. Arthur's changed my headset as soon as I walked in! They had a nice crowd; everyone seemed like they were enjoying themselves. The place was surprisingly large; much more so than it looked from the outside. It was a beautiful balance between a sports bar and a fine dining experience. My suggestion? GO!👍

    Used to eat at this Arthur’s many times in the past and it was good. Ate here tonight and it was just awful. The steak was very tough, and loaded with fat, and came out cold. It was the worst steak ever, and it was $34. The restaurant was empty, and the cake fridge normally filled with massive cakes had only three small pieces of cake. Obviously they don’t have the number of customers they used to have. I now know why. The server and bartender were gone for long periods of time leaving me and my wife alone in an empty restaurant. Just a terrible, terrible place. Sad, because back in the day the place was packed and the steaks were outstanding. Go somewhere else.

    The waiter was very nice and did a great job serving. I had a 24oz "our steak" for $40.95. It was delicious. For the high price, it only including a potato. It would have been nice if a vegetable was included in the price charged.

  • 4/5 Ashley Lynn C. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical local steakhouse/pub that offers decent pricing, good food, and simple atmosphere. You can expect a steak to be cooked right, and a hearty burger here. Leave the steak sauce and extras alone - you won't need them. Entrees are accompanied by pickles and salad, and the desserts are your cheesecakes and brownie sundaes. This place has been around a while and it's sure to stand the test of time and be here for a while yet. Very casual, so not something you really need to dress up for. Just enjoy whatever company you brought and relax while you enjoy your meal.

    Food is average for the prices they demand. Place needs a remodel asap. Last few times we’ve been to the place wait times have been long for no reason. Also some menu selections not available. Some beers not available even though they are being showcased.
