Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Rare, the Steak House shines with "fantastic food and service," making it a beloved spot. Steaks like the cowboy and filet consistently impress, and sides such as whipped potatoes are a hit. While the atmosphere is lively, it can get noisy. Some diners note inconsistent service, but many still "highly recommend Rare."

I ordered the Calamari for an appetizer and it was very good. I then ordered the Porterhouse steak for 2 and it was plenty. No need for any sauce, the meat was made perfectly and had a lot of flavor. I ordered the Thai chili Brussel sprouts and it was flavorful however there was too much sauce and the sprouts were very small. Overall the food and atmosphere was great and I would recommend.

A fantastic steakhouse with a number of great menu options for the non-meat eater. Impeccable service but a bit noisy for what should be a more refined experience.

Hands down the best steak in the area. We try many steakhouses but when the family says we need a good steak we head to rare, because we know the quality and service are second to none.

My son's filet was rare when he asked for medium. Drinks lacked. Too pricy for the quality of food and service. We were not shown the different cuts as other tables did. Expresso Martini really laced flavor.

Been here several times. Steaks are always outstanding and cooked perfectly as ordered. Wide selection of appetizers and steaks. I particularly like when they bring the tray of each steak (uncooked) to your table to assist in your choice. Similar to Gibsons in Chicago.

This was a disappointment. Steaks were not tender. Salmon TarTar came out brown which means it was premade and not fresh. Best one yet, I paid $30 for a double Tito’s and club, a handle costs $33. What a rip off. Never again.
