Rudy’s Steakhouse was established in 1998 and features gold-medal winning steaks that are aged and hand cut in house.
Fortunately, my wife and I decided to celebrate Valentines Day on Saturday, the day after the big event. Our waitress told me they had over 700 diners on Valentines Day and even had to utilize space across the street for dining. Our dinners were great, as was the service. I ordered the New York strip with Caesar Salad, asparagus, and mashed potatoes, while my wife had the halibut special, house salad, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. This was our fourth trip to Rudy’s, including one visit for their very nice happy hour. All visits have been highly satisfactory, both food and service. Great ambiance too, since their remodel.
We had a 7pm reservation and sat in one of two of the banquet rooms. They had 300 reservations w/a limited menu. Our appetizers and salads arrived 30 minutes apart and we finally got our dinner 1 1/2 hour later. The salmon and halibut were ice cold. We spoke to the wait staff who said she could reheat it, but we declined. The guys prime rib was luke warm and the only reason that wasn't returned was because they were hungry. The whole dinner was awful. There were 5 other tables who still hadn't received their meals when we decided to leave. It was an unhappy Valentine's night. We will not return.
Came here for a holiday lunch with co workers. Hadn't been here since it's new location. It was wonderful and such a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is really lovely. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. We all agreed that it was our new favorite lunch spot. Prices are competitive and reasonable. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.
Met friends for Happy Hour. Atmosphere was beyond my wildest expectations for a dinner house in Salem. It is cozy in the bar. Friendly staff that know the menu and will recommend items if you give them a hint of what you like. Each time I've been in the food was excellent. Have been back 4 times and this is now my go-to place to meet with friends.
All four of us had seafood which may have been a mistake at a steak house. Two of us had crab cakes and they were very ordinary and tasteless. Another had salmon and another had halibut with the same reaction to taste and flavor. If we had been at a lower end chain restaurant it would not have been surprising but the menu pricing on all entree's was 50% or more above what a chain restaurant would charge
