George's Steak Pit

I've never left a restaurant and felt more ripped off. My $54 steak came with an iceberg lettuce salad absolutely drenched in a soupy blue cheese dressing and a wimpy baked potato. The taste of the steak was very average and my wife had to send her med-rare steak back because it was absolutely frigid in the middle. We like a good mid rare steak but it was almost frozen in the middle. The bar area will melt your eyeballs with the 2 giant TV screens that surround you. Don't look up at the filthy beat up ceiling - eek! And don't look too closely at those weird carts they roll your food out on. My beer in the can I ordered was green (gone bad). Our food took FOREVER to come out. We really expected more from this place especially given that we had a party of 6 (including two kids who just ate chicken tenders) and our bill was $350!!!!

Amazing historical place with great food. Owner is amazing. Steak was top notch. Highly recommend.

Dined alone at the bar but never felt that way. Scott and his wife made me feel very welcome and the service was great. Scott recommended his favorite, Prime Rib blackened and seared with a baked potato. Had the house made Roka blue cheese dressing on my house salad. The meal did not disappoint, cooked perfectly, tender and tasty. Fun atmosphere in the bar area made the experience complete. Could see the expert chef grilling on the wood fired grill from my seat. I can't wait to go back and try the blue crab claw appetizer, it looked delicious. Will surely be back soon.

Incredibly beautiful location, friendly, accommodating staff and the best Filet mignon I've ever seen or eaten. As i understand the same chef has been in the kitchen 50+ years and it shows. Everything from the Wine Menu to the Greek Salad all just perfectly executed. Made for a perfect evening to propose. Would recommend to anyone.

We had a fantastic experience at Georges! We were in the Shoals visiting our sons at UNA and had the opportunity to get out of downtown Florence for dinner. I had seen great reviews and decided we would make a special trip to George's Steak Pit. It was about 8:00 on a Thursday night, so honestly we were worried about the experience. From the name, I really was expecting a simple steakhouse, but was sssssoooo wrong in my assumption! We received the best welcome from the owners, assuring us that our two college kids were dressed appropriately, we were worried due to the dress code posted (which we were in FULL SUPPORT OF!). How great to eat somewhere with standards like that, it only makes me look forward to my dining experience. And that experience was awesome. Steaks and sides were so good, but the desserts really took the cake! Crème brûlée and cheesecakes were amazing! Thank you for such a great meal! It made a great impression meeting our son's gf for the first time!

At first I want to say that the food is superb. My chicken breast and filet mignon was extremely tender and well seasoned. BEWARE- the grilled shrimp is cooked on the same grill as the filet mignon ! Hence cross contamination! I am allergic to shellfish and after only 3 bites of my filet mignon I broke out in a severe rash with itching. When asked if their shellfish and filet mignon are cooked together I was told yes. It was our 32nd wedding anniversary and I was looking for a nice place to eat (we are not local but here for work). I still had to pay for my meal! I would have understood paying for my husbands meal and our drinks but not my meal. food is great! service was not that good since the waiter told me that in their restaurant everything is cooked together.

For date night it's hands down our favorite place. The atmosphere is fantastic service is above and beyond and the food is indescribable fantastic. It's not your every day steak house. They are truly one of a kind. The best kind.

The whole dinner was outstanding the service was excellent. We both had the 8and half oz filet, best steak around. The restaurant is very nice everything was top notch

An amazing date night location! The steaks were mouth watering and our server was so sweet!

Not sure what has happened to George's restaurant since our last visit. We have happily dined at this restaurant for nearly 40 years. Over the last 2 years (up until last August) I had been gifted several gift cards. The last time I used one was last August. This evening we came into town and decided to have a special dinner at George's restaurant and planned on using our last gift cards. I included the cards and my cc with the bill. The owner (new???) or person running the show came out to tell me the gift cards had expired and actually were no longer accepted by the new ownership. Additionally, when reviewing the bill I noticed that they are now charging for using a credit card. I can't recall the last time I went for dinner at a restaurant and did not use a cc. Charging patrons for using a cc for a high priced meal is about as low as it gets in my book. This is definitely not the George's Restaurant a have frequented over the last 40 years. You have lost me and my family members forever. Good luck with your new "all I care about is making money " restaurant theme.
