Knight's Steak House

Yummy dining in classic/old/traditional club style digs. I don't even know if that makes sense but I definitely could picture, back in the day, the establishment full of university men meeting here for steaks and burgers, drinking, smoking, cards and maybe pool. A bit loud and bustling today, but we were able to get seated without a reservation on a Friday evening within 5min. I got the Jalapeño-Bacon Jam Burger, which was delicious! The savory spicy jam really elevated the burger, but the quality of the meat and the char grill is really what makes this good. Rounded out with cheese, pickles (a decently generous amount), garlic aioli, arugula, and a grilled brioche bun that was the perfect amount of sturdy to hold everything together without being too bready. Delicious! Burgers come with a side of chips by default, but I swapped for fries which are good classic fries. The drinks! I got a whiskey sour and wow was that a generous pour, and a good price. Didn't taste watered down or anything either. My husband's drink was a large pour and a good price too. Drink prices vary quite a lot at different dining establishments and I was very happy to discover the value of drinks here. We'll be back! It's not a huge space, so reservations are probably helpful. There is also an upstairs space, not sure how big that is. Good amount of parking on site which is convenient.

Nice place but nice doesn't cut it. Old dated and it feels dreadful. Could use an update. The bartenders and waiters are friendly and they know their stuff that made my visit a pleasant one but this place is not sexy for a date night so unless you are bringing your parents this is not the place.

We came here for a graduation celebratory dinner and there were six in our party. We had a reservation for 5pm but they were able to accommodate us a bit earlier- even though the place was packed.The exterior of the restaurant has a charming look to it. There is a parking lot with free parking, which is a great bonus anywhere near Ann Arbor. Upon entering the restaurant, the host staff were extremely friendly and greeted us promptly. The ambiance is somewhat dark and rustic and very comfortable. Even though it is an upscale restaurant, it is not at all stuffy.Since many graduates and their families were dining here, it was very busy and yet I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency. Our server was top notch and able to answer any questions about entrees. I wish I knew her name to give her a specific shout-out. I'm sure she provided her name upon introduction to the table but a couple of us had hung back outside before entering. If you like Scallops Rochester as an appetizer, I highly recommend it and so did everyone in our party. The scallops were perfectly prepared to be soft (not mushy) with spinach, garlic and a cheese sauce. Absolutely amazing! We had only ordered it as an appetizer for our table, but could have been a delicious meal.Everything ran like clockwork and our salads and soups arrived promptly after we'd finished with appetizers. (Calamari was also a table appetizer but I didn't try it because it isn't my thing; though I noticed that it didn't go as quickly as those yummy scallops!) I ordered the gazpacho soup and it was very fresh and delicious. For my personal taste, it was a bit spicy, but I still enjoyed it. Someone in our party had the clam chowder soup and said it was delicious. One person ordered the lentil and sausage soup; he seemed neutral about it but there was a full cup of lentils- which I would have ordered except I didn't want sausage in it. Our entrees then arrived in perfect timing following soup and salad. I had ordered the primavera alfredo with chicken and requested light on the Alfredo sauce. Our server acknowledged that it was probably heavier on the sauce than I had ordered but I didn't make a fuss at our celebration. It was delicious with a very generous amount of chicken in addition to the delicious pasta and fresh vegetables. I ate out the chicken to get my protein and gave leftovers to someone else in our party. The generous dish begged to be eaten as leftovers. While too rich with cream for my taste, those leftovers weren't going to go to waste!Many others in our party ordered steak/prime rib and seemed very happy with their selections. Since I don't eat red meat, I was very pleased with my selection. Overall, I was so impressed by the efficient and friendly service as well as the quality of our food. Absolutely recommend this place if you'd like to splurge on a high quality meal within a comfortable environment. Definitely a first class dining experience! (Wish I had pictures of the food but we were busy taking graduation pictures, which made us too hungry! Haha!) Fabulous is the adjective that best describes our experience!

Knight's (lovingly referred to as "Old Knights") is not everyone's steakhouse. Or, maybe it is, but it's not the conventional steakhouse that your mind conjures in 2023. Here is my top 10 reasons to visit Knight's:1) The drinks are strong. The "Knight's pour" is a thing. 2) Get the rolls. 3) From steaks to sandwiches, the food is old school, top notch, ultra-filling dining. 4) You won't find tweezered greens and garnishes here. Embrace it.5) Order the special. I've never been disappointed. 6) You haven't been allowed to smoke in restaurants in ages, but the ambiance still gives the illusion of an old smoky bar/steakhouse. Maybe if you get close enough to the wall, you can still smell the smoke? 7) Sit at the bar. Meet the bartender. Talk to the regulars. You'll be happy you did. 8) I'm pretty sure that the majority of diners at noon are over 70.9) The proximity to the adjacent fields is a big draw for softball teams pre and post game. 10) It tells me a lot about a restaurant if they offer cottage cheese as a side option.

Had a wedge salad with Salmon and a Bells beer on tap. Sis had the same with shrimp. Food was good. Service was average at best.

Sarah J. Was our server and she made our anniversary dinner even sweeter. Plus, what a steak! Will be back on Friday for the clam chowder

So, just left here instead of waiting, because after asking for a booth and happily waiting, the staff decided to talk s--- about us, right in front of us. This was after waiting 30 extra minutes past reservation time.The poor quality food here does not justify bad service.

We come here weekly! Never had anything bad to say. Food is good and consistent, drinks are strong, and staff is friendly.

The food was disappointing, the service was terrible, our waiter lacked hygiene and the ambiance was non existent. For the money we spend there we expected a much better restaurant. Knight house? More like nightmare. Very disappointing

Food was good, service was HORRIBLE, on New Years Eve day no less!! We won't be back!! Three waitresses literally arguing over who our waitress was. We pretty much ended up without a waitress. Kitchen delivered the food. No bread, no refills, no follow up for ketchup, had to ask for a bill as all three continued to walk by. We'll stick with going to The Gandy Dancer‼
