McGraw's Steak Chop & Fish House

Nice cozy rustic steakhouse! Love the vibes inside. The free bread and butter was really soft and warm. I got the salmon and fries, but I think my dish was too salty. The calamari was really crispy and tender. Dessert was also a plus! Overall nice experience and fun place to go out with friends and family.

This is a failed review as there is no pic... Is it REALLY A REVIEW without a pic?! As I've shared before, this is our local haunt and our fave go-to for drinks, food or both... Felt the need for an update with a refreshed menu (although I'm only talking about one item here). Many knew this place as Stiney's before McGraw's and as such the Catfish was the staple menu item that drew folks. A great menu item it was for YEARS into the McGraw's era - but that came to an end. We went there Friday after a visit to our local distillery and I needed a light meal. Louisiana Catfish now on the menu?!... I love my Midwest comfort foods, don't get me wrong but Cajun, Creole or Louisiana (NOLA) menu items and I'm in! This did NOT disappoint and the Creole twist on the tartar sauce was the best finishing touch! Can Stiney's fish be replaced... Yup and I'm quite happy about it. Great service as always and Todd always treats us like family when there... Until next time!

Splendid top tier local steak and seafood house sitting on the unsurprisingly dirty Wabash river like a jewel in a cardboard crown, my buddy and I had a great time! There's a lovely outdoor dining area and classic indoor rooms. Looks great for all sorts but quite cozy for kids or annoying types. It took me way too long to try this place out. Not sure why, had heard some years ago this wasn't quite the spot but they seem to have mended whatever issues because the entire menu from our drinks to desserts, fish and footed feast friends, and the staff put us in a warm mood and stuck the rest of our weekend. Our crab cake and firecracker shrimp appetizers showed up with all the appeal of the river out the winter to trick us with each bite, rich dreamy sauces for the crab and bright chili for the shrimps. My local Indianapolis brewery lager from Metazoa had been drained while I waited but I wished I had quickly ordered a second pint! One ideal clear headed crispy beer that's not shy on flavor or depth. We both then did cocktails with lots of complimentary bread and butter. Poor us, couldn't plan out the appetite right which later put our dessert cheesecake in the to go box. In that moment life was perfect, sipping a maple Old Fashioned and mango Tango to prove that red and blue work best on the table together. Later my friend got the lavender gin rift on a seventh five, as easy to sip as pretty. Our mains came after apologies which we never noticed the wait at all. I suppose some freshman or seniors celebrating with family would have needed to move on however this place is best without anything planned after. He got the New York Strip and I did Jack Daniels tips. The strip was topped with blue cheese butter and complimented with some of the best mushrooms either of us have taken a short cut to, places double the prices didn't do any better! My teriyaki beef trio made merry with the autumn veggies. This whole dinner ordeal has us raving back n forth for hours later, the chicken florentine soup should have its own show. But the finale of cheesecake later at home, o wow, no other meals have won so well.

This place is wonderful, the space is elegant and cozy! The staff were very attentive and service was great. The food was amazing! Best tomato soup I've ever had! The steak was phenomenal! You can't beat the views around the restaurant.

We tried McGraw's on the river for the first time. The delicious food, quick service, and rustic ambiance were wonderful! I had the special, the rainbow trout, which was out of this world. We'll definitely be back!

Sitting outside is the way to go with the view to the river. But they should invest on more comfortable patio furniture. I would also recommend removing outdoor speaker so we can e joy the birds and sound of the river but that is just preference.Service was perfect and discreet. Soups were great but my daughter and I both order the beef strogonoff and there were only two pieces of beef on each one. It was all mushroom. Very disappointed.

We went here for son's birthday. Called ahead and when we got there were immediately seated. Service was great, ambience was that of a Wisconsin supper club (don't expect a relish tray or anything) and food was top notch. 3 different entrees, tenderloin tips, NY strip and walleye. The beef was excellent and the walleye was even a notch above that! With I'd found this place much earlier in son's Purdue experience. Oh, and the dinner rolls are amazing too. Local spot with great vibe and better food, I couldn't have asked for more

Been coming here since I was a kid in the 70's. Loved Stiney's catfish. The catfish is excellent again since the chef from Indy took over. Service has always been good. My favorite meal in Tippecanoe County again.

My wife and I, along with our daughter and SIL, had a take-out dinner from McGraw's tonight to celebrate my birthday. (Being Covid cautious, we don't eat indoors and are always on the lookout for places with good takeout). We were all very pleased with our meal. My daughter and I had the filet mignon, which we both thought was excellent, and both her steak and mine were cooked to our requested medium well and medium rare, respectively. My wife really loved her salmon and my SIL was pretty happy with his crab cakes. The meal was ready when we got there and the order was completely accurate. The only less-than-stellar note was the fact that there was a five dollar "convenience fee" added on to the tab. I didn't notice this until after I had paid (my error; I should have looked at the itemized list they gave me); if I had, I probably would have given less of a tip.

Excellent Relaxed comfortable atmosphere with great service and food. Enjoyed the view also
