Hmmmmm
On Saturday, April 19,2003 I went with a party of 6 to The Grate Steak in Hampton, Va. My T-bone steak (which I grilled myself) was delicious. My 7 yr old granddaughter didn't like the mashed potatoes with gravy because the gravy had mushrooms in it. Our waitress was nice enough to offer her a baked potato which pleased her. Our party enjoyed our meals and dessert and would recommend it to others. Keep up the good work.    [21 Apr 2003 12:28:23]

MMMMMMMMMMM!!!
My husband's family lives in Norfolk, Va and due to his grandfather's passing we had to travel that way. During our stay we chose to eat at The Grate Steak!!! WE WERE VERY VERY VERY PLEASED with the service. My husband ordered a steak and they were out so they offered him the next size up from his order for the same price!!! We will be returning in a week and we have alread planned our next meal!    [06 May 2003 13:28:31]

A GRATE Steak Experience
On Sunday, May 11 (Mother's Day) my family and I went to this establishment to honor my wife and my daughter and daughters-in-law. The food was great, everyone enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. Especially noteworthy was our server, Carrie. She was terrific! She was efficient, friendly, and made sure everyone was completely satisfied. I'm sure your other servers are also very good, but Carrie was one of the best I have seen in any restaurant. I'll be back.    [12 May 2003 09:53:17]

We went for mine and another friend's b-days on a Saturday night. This was the 2nd time we've been in 2 months and again everything (food, service, atmosphere) was as excellent as the last time we went. My husband ordered the large filet and I have never tasted a more tender steak. Three others also ordered the same and agreed. I orderd the marinated steak, as did a couple of others and we all agreed that it was the best marinated steak we'd ever had. The baked potatoes are excellent, especially since you get to use the potato bar. We had both a waiter and waitress since we had a large group and both were perfect. After dinner the waiter sang Happy Birthday (w/the rest of our group) and brought out 2 beautifully decorated portions of cheesecake (and both were just as good as they looked). I couldn't have asked for a better b-day dinner!!! Thank you Grate Steak!    [19 Jan 2004 10:09:16]

Pretty Good
Excellent quality steak a 10 out of 10. Service was excellent. Salad bar was above average but nothing special and my bake potato was not the best. For the price I would have expected cloth napkins and a little better atmosphere. All in all a good restaurant and I would probably return.    [24 Apr 2004 21:22:23]

Disappointed
We have visited the Grate Steak many over the last ten years.Our last visit the middle of April 04 was a huge disappointment.My wife was going to have a small filet but after seeing"MARKET PRICE" on the menu changed her mind.We dine out often and no other restaurant in the area has this practice.Then when inspecting our silverware we noticed food stuck to both hers and mine.The overall cleanliness of the restaurant has declined.This was probably our last visit to this establishment.    [03 May 2004 14:23:29]

Slipping quality
Dined at Grate Steak for years in fact our daughter used to be a hostess there. Over the last several years the quality of food, and especially service has declined drasticly.

My daughter won't even eat there anymore due to the changes. With the new Lone Star, Outback and Texas Roadhouse opening in the area they better re-think things or they are on their way out.    [07 Jan 2005 16:42:42]
