What People Are Saying About John Q's Steakhouse
The Editor

In Short – The cattle drive sprawls across three spacious rooms that fill at lunch and stay full through the duration. This upscale steakhouse has a way with prime beef, and understated swank dishes thrive (at least until they're served) on this busy corner of Public Square. While the beef councils have tried to make their product into another consumer-friendly dinner choice, John Q's does steak the old-fashioned way: thick, sizzling and fiercely tasty.

Best steak in town
by gademer at Citysearch
My wife and I selected this restaurant by recommendation from the hotel we were staying at. We were happy we came. The steaks were fantastic. The service was pleasing, personal and not stuffy. We will go back the next time we are in town!
- Pros: ambience, private booths with curtains
- Cons: parking

Waxes and Wanes? Or just bad?
by jamesdubin at Citysearch
Reading other reviews after eating here makes me wonder if we were in the same place! The artichoke appetizer arrived sans artichoke, consisting of flatbread and mayonnaise--very UN-appetizing. I ordered a strip steak; it was cooked right, but it didn't matter, it was the most tasteless steak I have ever had. I have had better $ 5.00 steaks at Ponderosa, and this bland wonder cost me $ 30.00! My sister had prime rib, which was "all right", but who want's to pay this kind of money for "all right"? i can buy a prime rib and do it at home and end up with much better! VERY DISAPPOINTED; Is this place this inconsistent? I'd rather have an "average" that can be counted on than a place that waxes and wanes.
- Cons: Tasteless steak

Stay Away

We recently had a mid-week business dinner at John Q's.
Restaurant was perhaps 40% occupied.
After the wine was poured, I noticed that it tasted "stale".
Turns out the bottle had a long crack in it and the wine had spoiled.
No refund offered.
Two of us ordered our steaks with NO CHAR.
OOPS, sorry about the char. We can re-do your steaks, if you wish.
Sure, what about the other 4 people who now have their entres?
Go to the Cleveland Chop House or Morton's instead.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Price, Quality
The Details on John Q's Steakhouse
When to Go:
There's lots of room for a pre-football carbo-load, but if you're coming for a special occasion, try to reserve a private booth.
