Speer’s Steakhouse

I was so hopeful when we walked in. The place was packed and the bar is so cool. The atmosphere is perfect and unique in the cranberry area. The wine list is amazing and well priced. If you like California wines you should check it out Now to the reason I said I was hopeful. We ordered right away. It took over 40 minutes to get salad and only received bread after asking 3 times and that came 15 minutes after the salad. My friend got the French onion soup and he said it was not just a little salty but extra salty. He did not finish it 100 minutes into our stay after ordering we finally got our meals. My wife and I had the aged steak and it was good and cooked perfectly. The downside was that I had to cut 30% of it off as fat and my wife cut a bit more. The water for some reason was so bad none of us wanted to drink it and we had to order bottled water. My advice. Check the place out. Order some wine, avoid the soup and do not be in a hurry. We were there almost 2-1/2 hours I am not a fan of meals that longIf they can fix the soup and water most importantly the wait times this place will rock. The staff was so friendly but the waiting was just harsh.

We had such a great evening here! Beautiful interior - chic, classy, and tasteful. Such a beautiful restaurant. We had excellent service too! For food, we had focaccia, which was excellent! The seasoned oil it came with was a flavor bomb. Spice, heat, and yumminess on some fantastic; airy focaccia. We also had meatballs, which came with a sweet and sour sauce. And, wow, were these good. I didn't expect the sauce, and it was a nice change from red sauce. There was a slight heat that had me wanting to keep eating the sauce. The bacon tasting is a fun experience. We enjoyed all the flavors from sweet to mustard. The bacon was thick and cooked well. For entrees, I had a filet. It was cooked to perfection. Nice sear on the outside and the center melted away. A remarkable cook on my steak. My wife loved her chicken. So much garlic and she raved about it (and I did, too!!). I had roasted carrots for a side, and they were divine. Nice sweet glaze and a plentiful side! This is a great spot for a date night, and we will be back!

Stopped here for brunch on Sunday and this was my first visit.Only open for a little over a month, so give them time to sort out staff and kitchen.First observation is that they are serious about what they are trying to make happen.It's is just a beautiful job of remodeling the mess that was here before.Drink cocktails were excellent and the shrimp and grits were phenomenal! Heard that the recipe is from the chefs grandmother or mother and they are from the south, and it shows that.Service from bartender was spot on.Will be back for sure.

Beautiful. & cozy atmosphere . Nice wine list and delicious cocktails - Magee was our bartender and he was professional, friendly & made a smooth dry martini . We sat at the bar and had the meatball, grilled oysters and bacon appetizers . We really liked the glaze on the meatballs - reminded us of tender meatloaf. Bacon was crispy and meaty and we enjoyed all 3 styles (mustard , creamy blue cheese and a sweet maple) we would order both again . I forgot until it was too late to snap a photo of the grilled oysters. They were good and fresh , but I personally just prefer a Parmesan crust , so I wouldn't order them again . Over all great experience . Only negative was $22 for a martini was way over priced .

We went to Speer's for lunch today specifically for the lobster grilled cheese, the only such sandwich available for 100 miles around. It was very good, as were the accompanying fries. Service was professional, but the wait time for the food was a little longer than expected, especially since it was lunch and the restaurant was not crowded. Overall it was a good experience and we'll return for lunch.

Definitely worth trying! The remodel of this building is fantastic - absolutely beautiful! The staff is extremely pleasant and attentive. The food is really good with a few exceptions. The wine list has a nice variety of price points and some classic selections. The menu is pretty typical of a steakhouse with a few exceptions. Biscuits were brought to our table and they were definitely unique and tasty. We started with the mussels and the sauce on them was tasty but unexpected- curry was the overwhelming flavor. They were definitely good and unlike any mussels I've had before. The focaccia that was served with them was dry - so it definitely needed the sauce to make it worth eating. We pretty much skipped it. Next was the Caesar salad created and served table side - delicious! Don't change a thing! For our main course we shared a filet with mushrooms and au poivre sauce, gnocchi carbonara, and creamed spinach (which is my favorite steakhouse side). The filet was cooked and seasoned perfectly, the mushrooms were very good, and the au poivre sauce had a unique spin in flavor but very tasty. The creamed spinach was spot on delicious. If we would have stopped with those the meal would have been pretty perfect. But, we also had ordered the gnocchi carbonara too. The presentation was terrible - sadly it had no attempt to even make it look nice. It looked like a plate of scrambled eggs with gray dumplings. We attempted to try it and it was definitely not worth eating. There were chunks of egg instead of a sauce - not at all what carbonara should be. The eggs and cheese should be added to the pasta to create the carbonara sauce - not become scrambled eggs on the pasta. Overall, this was a great experience. I cannot wait to try other things! Next time I will stick to the steakhouse classics as that seems to be spot on with some welcome twists.

I went with my family on Saturday night to try the new local steakhouse. Here are my thoughts. Beautiful job in redesigning the interior and exterior of the building. We started with the caesar salad that was prepared table side by Liam. He did a great job and spoke to us about the restaurant as well. My son and I ordered the ribeye. Both steaks were overcooked as we ordered them medium rare. I had to send mine back to the kitchen. The kitchen did a great job of grilling a wagyu steak for me. The mushroom side dish was excellent and my wife had a salad for her entree. The drinks were good with a good selection of wines by the glass. The chocolate mousse for dessert was a little dry but tasty.

This visit was so disappointing. I ordered a medium rare filet with the added Oscar and it came out very rare with definitely old tasting crab. I sent it back and even though it came out cooked properly that crab just ruined it.

wife and I gave this place a second try from our first review but it was even worse. Folks this is NOT a high quality steakhouse in fact it isn't even better than a Longhorn chain only more expensive. Dont let the nice surroundings fool you the owners at Breakneck are just trying to fool you for an upscale place. Take your hard earned money and go to a place like Napa Prime or Off the Hook. I'm done with this place. Nothing has changed. management doesn't care.

If you are accustom to Hyde Park, Capital Grille, Eddie V's don't waste your time and money at this place. Example the oil for dipping tasted terrible (not pleasant) the bread was not that of a high-end steakhouse. Details of the food being poor is too much to write. Not very good quality food and service.
