About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Fancy

Rails Steakhouse is a modern American steakhouse offering carefully selected USDA Prime and CAB corn-fed beef, dry-aged a minimum of 28 days on-premise & hand-cut daily. We offer modern and contemporary dishes, including sustainable fresh seafood, homemade desserts, and an award-winning wine list recognized by Wine Spectator.

Attention to detail can be seen in this beautiful 20,000 sq. ft., restaurant where sprawling timber meets natural stonewalls, accents of glass showcase fire-and-water features in this luxe lodge. While all levels feature the same menu, the main dining room has a more sophisticated ambiance and Rafters on the second floor has a more casual lodge appeal. Descend to the lower level to find the secret passage that takes you to the wine cave, and Thirty 3, a speakeasy-style bar and lounge. Dine al fresco on our outdoor terraces offering spectacular views of the Pyramid Mountains. Most importantly, we want you to feel at home where our hospitality is second to none.

Made a reservation well in advance to secure a table in the speakeasy. Arrived and the hostess said my speakeasy reservation wasn’t guaranteed and we’d. e seated in the main dining room. Waitress started off by spilling my husband’s red cocktail down my arm and all over the front of my area on the table. The noise level was extremely loud and hard to carry on a conversation with the rest of my 5 guests. As usual the food was good but this time the service was mediocre and the fact that we didn’t get a table in the speakeasy was extremely disappointing especially when we were there to celebrate my son’s birthday.

Steaks are unbeatable in quality, flavor, and plentiful sized.....for any area NJ steakhouse. It has no rival....but there is a premium price attached .... so be prepared for a $275 + tip meal for 2!! Hearty eaters & a few glasses of wine. We had to move our seat.....the booths for 2 in the main dining hall are way too tight for tall diners. the booths are cramped for comfort plus the table limits your dining experience.....wait staff always jockeying plates & stemware. Not a pleasant experience. However...... ask for a table in the front dining or top level when making a reservation. also of tasty note......Rails side dishes are so yummy.....not the ho-hum boring broccoli & carrots or roasted tasteless potatoes.....their sides have umami guts. Desserts top off the nite and hard to select.....all are divine!!! Great Job Rails!!!

This was the best steakhouse we have been to. Will definitely go back again. I had filet mignon & you could cut it with a butter knife. The restaurant was really nice inside the service was great. I give Rails Steakhouse 5 plus stars

The Burrata was a very thin consistency and I asked for a medium plus on the steak, which is in between medium and medium well. But the steak came out medium rare, and since it was a date, I didnt want to send it back and have to wait while my date ate hers. The server was excellent and I know none of this was his fault. Other than the above, everything was great and my date had a really good time. We stopped by the fireplace after dinner and then went downstairs to the speakeasy lounge and had a good time there as well. The only other negative was I left a very expensive pair of eyeglasses there and I called to let them know when I got home but all I got was voicemail but I'm assuming they just turned off the phones and I'm hoping to get a call back on Saturday letting me know that they found the glasses. Also the server did take the burrata off of the check which was the right thing to do. I can't go backwards, but I would probably upgrade the total stars from 3 to 4.

Good food. Service was great. Only thing bad was small portions of food. Not worth the price for the amount of food you get.
