      This place is a throwback. When you walk in the decor and booths are reminiscent of the old family oriented restaurants that made good food for great prices.

      We ordered the ribeye and steak and tenders combo. We asked for medium well and got slightly done. But it was delicious! The potato came with tons of butter and once I dropped the sour cream I was in heaven.

      The tenders are good but come with a sauce that tasted like sweet and sour. The fries were fresh.

      If you loved Tads Steak come here!

      Overall a great choice for quick lunch that you don't eat in your car. I would definitely come back. Just wish they made jus because if they did they would be perfect!

      Good food, bad service. Salad bar was closed and waitresses will not come up to you and ask you if you would like something. I asked them if I could have butter and they said they would come to my table, I finished my food and they never came. The Waitresses were all rude to every customer. They did not go to anyone's table and it was a very quiet day. Maybe 8-12 people in the restaurant.

      The name of this place is pretty misleading. I wouldn't really call it a steakhouse I would call it more a cafeteria that sell steak. The prices are so cheap that it makes it worth if you're looking for a very basic meal. The place gets pretty packed and the salad bar gets refilled constantly so you know the food is fresh So if you're looking for a cheap place to have a basic steak and large salad bar I would try this place

      I've been to this steakhouse since I was a kid. Now that I am an adult I came back to this steakhouse. Well the burger wasn't as flavorful as I remembered. It was bland and not much too it. The atmosphere and decoration is the same as I remembered. It's an okay steak house but overall I came for the memories and to try out the food again. They do have weekday specials which is nice and they do accept credit and debit cards. They have a buffet style salad bar which is nice. I would recommend to come if you've never been or have childhood memories here.

      The steak and ribs were well cooked & tasted great. The service could be improved. The seating areas and buffet bar are outdated, poorly kept, and dirty. Also, they don't make anything from the grill after 4pm. When I asked about it, they pointed to a sign. Not very satisfied with this visit. 2.5.

      Years ago back in the early 90's time period, when I was living in Norwalk, this steakhouse was my place to be with friends, family,e.t.c.. Good steak and fries combo with endless shrimp basket,e.t.c....As I made my return to this place not so long ago when I visited Norwalk, the quality of the food and the place in general has went down south to hell......The chicken soup broth is watery with no taste, my fries was cold, not even well cooked and my steak was so rubbery that I needed to dig in deep to cut my steak (Should of brought a saw or something).

      As a conclusion, this is not even a restaurant that I once remembered years ago, but more like a cheap cafeteria with the worst customer service that can't even speak English well...Trash restaurant in the highest order!!

      First to Review

      Don't let the name fool you, this place isn't American and it isn't a Steak House. The place is practically a cafeteria, with the main difference being the prices as much higher than you'd expect from cafeteria food, a small simple sandwich will run you over ten dollars and will likely be worse than something you can find at a Subway restaurant a block away for half the price.

      While I haven't actually seen the steak here, I passed by it and it looks like something that came out of a freezer, pre-cooked perhaps in a warehouse hundreds of miles away. Seriously, I don't really understand why they put the word "steak house" in the name with all things considered, sure its catchier than their previous two names Bonanza and a Family Affair but its incredibly misleading.

      You'd think with their high prices, they'd at least have a decent staff, right? well, their staff is probably worse than whatever you'd find at the shadiest McDonald's. I'd have to repeat the name of my order several times and even then they'd find some way to get something minor like the soda wrong. Not to say they don't work hard because they put a lot into the food preparation but I feel like for the price I'm paying for my food, American Steakhouse should at least hire workers that can understand enough english to take my order.

      The food itself, like something you'd find out of a cafeteria, was fairly inoffensive but nothing memorable or distinct. For the amount of money you are paying, you deserve better.

      The place advertises heavily on low-budget local cable channels such as News 12 with a theme song that seems straight out of the '80s and a video game caliber 3D animated mechanical bull that throws a basketball into a hoop. This commercial almost is "so bad its good" and its perhaps the only thing the location has going for it, luckily you can at least hear the theme song in all its cheesy glory on the website for the place, you'd probably enjoy it more than anything they have at the place...
