The Best Steak House Plus

Very quick, polite and personable service! Good value for portions. Is it high class traditional steakhouse esthetic like Murray's? No. Cut with a butter knife superior quality dry aged beef like Manny's? Again, no. Is it a decent quality, honest, working people, salt of the earth, family friendly, good value, tasty, clean and bright, roomy, and welcoming restaurant? YES! YES! YES! Great addition to Forest Lake dining community run by hard working and kind family. Please patronize often to keep this establishment in business.

This restaurant is VERY close to a 4 star restaurant, it just fell short, but I assume in time it will easily be a 4 or 5 star restaurant. We went twice in our short Minnesota trip and they were both enjoyable. The first time the temperatures were not as ordered but the steaks were still very good. The second trip they were cooked to perfection and were mouth watering! The sides and soup/salad bar were great too, a nice selection and all very flavorful. I do think an upcharge for French fries as a steak side is ridiculous, but beyond that I would say we enjoyed this place and will try it next time we are in town again.

We called in advance they said they were open until 11:00 pm. We got there by 9:15-9:30 they were closed. Very sad about that. We will try again as I see they changed their hours now.

Nice simple family restaurant. I had the All American burger as a lunch special and it was generous and very flavorful. Reasonably priced.

Was greeted by a very friendly woman that welcomed us there. You order at a counter, they give you a tray with a number, a bowl of your meal comes with the salad bar and a glass if you ordered pop. Their menu has a mix of steaks, burgers, pasta and sandwiches. I decided on the 12oz ribeye med rare, baked potato and the salad. You could also choose mashed potatoes and soup if you want. My buddy got the Texas smash burger with fries and a small salad. First off, the bowl I got for my salad was a monster. I made a bomb salad. There's not a lot of choices at the salad bar, but I liked it. Really chunky good blue cheese. My buddies small salad bowl was pretty big too. He was happy and made a big ol' salad. Our meals came out fairly fast. My ribeye was incredibly tender and delicious. Perfectly medium rare. The baked potato was also properly cooked, loaded with a giant dollop of butter. Also had a nice thick buttered slice of Texas toast to sop up steak juice. My buddies burger looked amazing! Two patties with onion straw, cheese, lettuce bbq on two butter grilled Texas toast slices. I will be returning!!

Steak was average at best. And for the price you can get better other places. Salad bar was nice

Just had lunch at this new restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was great! I had the pan fried walleye, green beans and homemade mashed potatoes. It was fantastic. My friends had the smash burgers and seasoned fries, the Greek salad and the steak salad. All enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend!

Great food and even better service! 8 oz sirloin. $17.95. You get the steak, toast and two sides. Sides include choice of potato, soup and salad. I don't eat salad and the soup today was one I didn't care for, so I got 2 potatoes, baked and Jo-Jo's. The steak was delish. Both potatoes were excellent. And the Texas toast was to die for and just as my husband and I remembered from years ago in St Paul. We highly recommend this new gem of a restaurant in Forest Lake!

Excellent place to get a quick reasonably priced meal in Forest Lake. I arrived at 11:30 for an early lunch. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I had a 12 ounce ribeye with a baked potato and salad bar. The steak was cooked medium rare as requested and the salad bar was perfect and plentiful. It was an overall great experience and I will definitely return to support this local establishment.

I had an amazing lunch at this steak house! It is right by the forest lake beach many surrounding activities. I had a classic smash burger and it made its way into my top 5 best burgers i've ever eaten! The staff were extremely kind and attentive to me and my boyfriend. I would recommend this place to anyone there is options for everyone including kiddos!
