Fredrick Inn Steak House

What a sweet spot in St. Joseph MO! A few of us were in town for the soccer ID camp in Maryville but we stayed in St. Joseph. A friend found this spot so I made a reservation for our group. Pro tip... if you have a large group make a reservation! If you're here on a weekend.... Make a reservation! This establishment has a family style feel. Quaint and informal but with a feeling the food will be great! They had a great drink menu and us parents enjoyed a wine or cocktail. The girls had some macaroni and cheese bites which were devoured. Most of us ordered stakes. There were quite a few steak options. My husband and I ordered the 12 oz KC strip (med rare) to split. Since we split they also gave us two twice baked potatoes. We also got the salad bar and steak potato soup. The salad bar was decently full. With my food allergies I am accustomed to limited choices. I felt the salad bar had lots of choices for my gluten/dairy/egg and grain free needs. My husband enjoyed the steak and potato soup. It had great flavor. The potatoes were your typical twice baked potato. A good mashed potato inside a potato skin and heated up. The steak was tender, had beautiful grill marks but just not seasoned well and just slightly over cooked. It could have used some seasoning before cooking or something to that effect. I guess it's hard to order steak when your cajun roots are engrained to a well seasoned meat ;-). We do not normally eat steak out because my father in law and husband are truly masters when it comes to grilling steaks. Since we were at a steak house we decided to take the plunge. All this to say we did enjoy our meal but would try a different steak if we were to come back. If there is any advice I can offer... don't be scared to use a simple salt and pepper on your KC strips. Even maybe put a little garlic into the seasoning or bastes with a rosemary butter sauce when cooking ;-)! I am giving them 5 stars because you can tell this is a family establishment and most likely a local favorite! And the ladies were super sweet accommodating our large group of 14! Oh and sorry I didn't take pictures. Decided to visit with the crew!

Food was yummy. Salad bar was stocked. Steak was perfectly done. Great place to spend my birthday with my lovely girls.

I really loved my salmon. It was just a bit overdone, but I'm completely fine with that because those crunchy edges were the tastiest. It was the perfect size. The captains treasure was a big drink which I appreciated and it was good. The roll and cinnamon roll was excellent. Thank you for having real butter and margarine--that is really great to have a choice. I was there with a group of 8 and we just bellied up to the bar. It was a great time! Our bartender took great care of us.

Visited at noon on a Friday. I ordered the "triple decker BLT." We were greeted and seated promptly. The "combination salad" was simple and the lettuce slightly wilty. It seemed like a cheap bagged salad, and could've been made better with a few more of fresh veggies. The triple decker BLT was actually a half-club sandwich. It would have been much tastier with better bread, fresher lettuce, and an actual second layer of BLT (no cheese and ham). Our server was attentive and friendly. Compared with other locally-owned restaurants, you should find friendly service and classic food here without any frills, and economical ingredients.

We were traveling home back in June of 2021 and this place was a surprising find!! St Joseph, MO was a dreary looking city. There were parts that looked on the sketchy side. The roads could use some serious work, but in the midst of the somewhat sleepy downtown area, we encountered Fredrick Inn. We noted several positive reviews in Yelp, but with the rundown look of the parking lot and the city in general, we might have passed on it. Glad we didn't!!We sat down fast and got our drinks in no time! Menu is chock-full of delicious options, but we spotted prime rib and decided on it right away! Not only did we get the best darn prime rib we've had in long time, but also we got unlimited soup and salad bar! The meat was cooked perfectly and delicious! Everything about our meal couldn't be better! They only do prime rib on Friday and Saturday nights, and it looked to me as if this is a big draw for Frederick Inn. The service was stellar and the place had a bit of an old world feel on the inside. They had craft beers and a full bar. Plus, I hear they are famous for their strawberry pie. I'm pretty glad we stopped there. Definitely added Frederick Inn on my bookmarks of great little restaurants so that if we come this way again, we'll be sure to stop by!!

Most of the food was under seasoned. My wife's steak was bland, my fried chicken only had a tiny bit of seasoning in the breading, none on the chicken itself. Chicken noodle soup needed pepper, the salad bar was fine and the vegetable beef soup was as well. The pudding on the salad bar tasted like toothpaste for some reason. The little cinnamon rolls they gave us were sort of hard and gross.

The Fredrick (sic) Inn on Frederick Avenue in St. Joseph, Missouri is in one of the many remaining 100+ year old buildings of the city. It was recommended for local flavor by the manager of the Pony Express Museum. Very home-cooked fare, and just fine. I had the liver and onions and enjoyed that dish, which is quickly vanishing from American restaurants. I like it for the variety. The town has more Victorian houses and buildings than nearly anywhere. I guess no one was interested in tearing them down to build new. There's a haunted Victorian vibe all around this whole part of the mid west.

It has been over 4 years since I was last in the St Joseph area and was so glad I was able to stop in for another excellent meal. Amber and team provide incredible service and pair it with phenomenal meals. I had the prime rib again and it was perfect. Had a good crowd with several large parties and food was delivered to table faster than I anticipated it would be. Can't say enough positive things about this place.

I love to eat here Everything is good Waitress make u feel like your at home The surrounding feels like home Trinity such a good host We will be back 5 stars it is
