Pros- great ambiance and enjoyable live entertainment. Our steaks were prepared as requested and the kitchen was able to accommodate our request for garlic mashed potatoes, which were the best I've ever had in my life!!! Cons- as is the norm in New Brunswick, there's no parking lot so if you don't like meter or parking deck parking, this isn't the place for you

It was ok...but I gave it 4 stars for the service, ambiance, my drink (Wild Horses-it was a special with bourbon & the LeGrand 52), and we liked the sides (sweet potato casserole). All the food was cooked perfectly. I had the Delmonico steak, medium. I had to use steak sauce to help the flavor though. Their sauce tasted like a cross between Peter Lugers and A1. The shrimp cocktail was jumbo, not colossal. They do offer a vegetarian menu, I heard the pasta was delicious. Parking garage is right across the street. If you're in New Brunswick and want a hearty meal and a good drink, stop here.

Happy Mother's Day! Graduation Class of 2024! I have had this steakhouse bookmarked for a long time. Interior has that old school vibe. Since my son is a huge steak lover, I chose this restaurant. My very first steak experience was when I was 9. I was having a sleepover at my cousin's house. My uncle who was a chef came home from a shift at a restaurant. As tired as he was he asked what I wanted to eat. I shrugged my shoulders and he said, l know what to make for you...steak. As I cut into it I see how pink it was, the juice which kind of looked like blood to me at the time seeped into the white rice. As I take my first bite, my eyes widened with delight. It was so buttery delicious. My uncle's eyes beamed with pride. It's a fond memory I have of him. My son's favorite is the Ribeye, Porterhouse and Prime Rib but he goes with the Delmonico cooked rare. He now says this is his favorite. I ordered their seared scallops that was served on a bed of rhubarb. I'm big on veggies so I enjoyed the rhubarb. For me, the winning dish of the night goes to their Banana Chocolate Bread Pudding. And I 'm not even a huge dessert person. Other mentions goes to their meatball app, sautéed spinach, and sautéed mushroom. YUM to the NINTH DEGREE!!!! Thank you Steakhouse 85 & Staff for your classy hospitality. You made our double celebration extra special.

If you love steak, this is the place to go but make reservations as it is crowded . They had live music on a Saturday night . Everything is ala crarte and pricey but delicious flavors await . The lobster bisque was creamy and had a rich flavor (could have used a bit more lobster )but it did have a small amount of lobster pieces . The steak was seasoned well and the petite filet was perfectly cooked and accompanied on plate with a slice of tomato . The delmonico was a bit tougher so stick with the filet The apple pecan salad was flavorful and all of the sides including lobster macaroni and cheese and onion rings, fries, and burrata were tasty The shrimp cocktail had tjeee huge shrimp pieces . We did not have room for dessert but it looked good the bar service was slow yet it was crowded

Best steakhouse in the area. Every single item on the menu is absolutely delicious. Service is everything you expect from a top notch steakhouse. Excellent calamari, the best steaks and a creme brulee that is the perfect finish after a fabulous meal. Perfect for a celebration, special occasion or just when you want the best damn steak you've ever had

My husband brought me here for our wedding anniversary and we had such an amazing dinning experience. Paul our server was very courteous (cool guy) and gave us great menu suggestions!! We ordered cilantro lime shrimp as appetizer -main course we got the tomahawk with blue cheese lobster mac and cheese and shoestring fries. everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Dessert - amaretto crème brûlée which I loved it!!!

Came here for a surprise party and restaurant, food and service were all very good. Decorated very nice inside, it had a lot of Rutgers memorabilia which is pretty cool. Room we were in was also very nice. The food was very good. Had a salad and mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto appetizers and both were excellent. For the main course I had crab cakes which were very nice. Sides of mashed potato and sautéed broccoli were served family style and both were nice compliments to the meal. For dessert I had the creme brûlée which was good. Service was excellent. My glass was never allowed to get empty and the food was served promptly with nothing feeling rushed. Not a complaint here. Parking is tough outside but there is a parking lot across the street. Convenient and only $10. If your in the area looking for a steakhouse this is a good option.

I brought my husband here for his birthday. We got a nice corner booth in the back. The restaurant was spacious and dimly lit. It set the mood for a nice romantic dinner. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our dinner was great! We enjoyed everything we tried. It is pricey but worth it. I had the filet mignon with seared foie gras. It was perfect! The sides were served family style, it was plenty of food for two people. My husband really enjoyed his steak. We would definitely return.

I came here for my birthday a few days ago with some friends and we had a nice booth in the back. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu but the service was OK. It got a little bit slow at times. I ordered the tomahawk shop and it was very tender and good. A little bit fatty but very good portion. I wanted the shrimp cocktail but the waiter forgot it. Everything was great besides that. I will definitely come back and try some of the other cuts
