Beefmastor Inn

A very, very fine meal. Great steak, cooked just the way I like it. Tasty baked potato and toast. And the salad bar? Lots of items...and theonly way to get fresher is to go out in the garden and pick it yourself. Friendly staff and attentive service. I highly recommend! A+++!We were on Wilson visiting family, and this will definitely be a go-to every time we come to town.

To call this place an icon is an understatement. I worked for a bank that was hq'd in Wilson back in the day. When we had holiday parties, my pretentious manager used to groan when this place was suggested. "Oh," he'd sneer, "you mean the place where you can get a ribeye, or a RIBEYE?!" Yeah that's right, it's a steakhouse, they only serve ribeye. They bring the whole ribeye to your table and you tell them how thick you want it, and it's cooked to order. Comes with a visit to a spotless salad bar & baked potato. I revisited this spot recently so my husband could experience this incredibly simple but wonderful spot, and it did not disappoint. It's been several weeks and he's still talking about how great his meal was.

We drove in from about an hour away and arrived at about 5:30ish on a Thursday evening. We had a party of 9 and were seated right away. They have one thing on the menu and it's Rib Eye steak. We were greeted and our drink order was taken right away. Soon thereafter the process of ordering was explained and the gentleman came over with the Rib Eye and cut each piece to order and asked how it should be cooked. We then proceeded to the salad bar which was compact but had more of a selection than a lot of other salad bars and it was kept full and fresh. After finishing our salads the steaks followed, cooked to perfection. Service was awesome as our beverages were always kept full and we were always checked on. Definitely a great experience!

you can't beat it. hands down the best streak and salad bar around. the service is phenomena as well. always.

There's only 10 tables and they only serve one thing, but that one thing is a prime rib-eye steak ! It is so good people tailgate in the parking lot for hours for it !Amazing

We arrived at 4:15 on a Saturday afternoon to find a line already waiting at the door. We took the 8th of the ten tables. My dining companion and I both came for a ribeye steak, salad, baked potato and bread, which is perfect since that comprises the entire menu, with the exception of a baked onion which you can request. Tea, coffee, or water are included. There is a modest bar and bottled soft drinks are also available for extra cost. Dinner prices start at $50 for an 8oz cut. I ordered a 10oz cut and was charged $53, so it seems like each extra ounce of steak is a $1.50 additional. Overall, I thought it was a reasonable value.My steak was cooked a perfect medium as requested and served hot off the grill. While it was not the best cut of ribeye I have eaten, it was very good, mostly tender, flavorful, and had a modest but not excessive amount of fat. Many reviewers comment that the steaks are not seasoned, but that was not the case during our visit. I watched the cook (the Beef Mastor?) season each steak with a very finely ground seasoning before it was placed on the grill. Everything on the salad bar was extremely fresh. Although there was not an extensive selection of ingredients, it was kept constantly restocked and was of good quality, except the croutons which seemed to be of the grocery-store variety. My potato was perfectly baked. The accompanying bread was buttered and toasted on the grill to order. Service was simple, polite, and very attentive. Two servers worked all ten tables and they stayed very busy during our visit. The restaurant is small and modest, but that is part of its appeal. By the time we returned to our car, the parking lot was full with tailgating going in full swing and a game of cornhole ramping up in the side lot. If you are looking for a steak house along the lines of a Ruth's Chris, Sullivan's, or Perry's, Beefmastor Inn is not it. Instead, it is a perfect example of an eastern NC restaurant that provides an excellent prix-fixe meal with simple, informal, and friendly local charm.

Loved but don't get to chose your sides, it's a sals and a baked potatoe, very friendly, definitely recommend to any that his a steak lover!

There was no wait at all. It's always simplicity at its best l. You always get what you pay for and I think the chef, service, Salad Bar, potato , etc is worth any visit.It's such a great environment and fantastic dinner!Perfectly cooked Rib eye!!!!!

Only offered steak and potatoes and the steak was 55 dollars not seasoned nor trimmed offered plastic bottles for your drink and for 5 people the bill was 305 I have been all over the country and have never seen some bs like this

When you do it right, keep doing it! These guys have been doing it right for years. I had an out of town guest come play golf this week. We were done and I asked if he wanted to grab dinner or if he had to get back home. He had time so I asked if he liked steak. He laughed. I said "Follow me." We pulled in and he said that he had heard about the place but never been. I told him "My treat." We had one of the best steak dinners ever (cooked to perfection) and certainly the best steak for miles around. Good food ain't cheap. Cheap food ain't good. I'll be back again. And again.
