Friendly and accommodating staff and the food was delicious. Golf's is famous for their prime rib and it's well deserved. Thick, juicy, nice sized portions, prepared just right and so flavorful. Rooms are available for large parties.

What I love the most about this restaurant is its quaint ambiance and really great food! All entrées are served with their daily soup, a bread basket, and access to their salad bar. You will not leave here hungry. For the price, you can't beat the quality and quantity of food served at the Golf's Steak House! We were celebrating a birthday on this occasion which came with a large slice of their Cherry Cheesecake for the bday boy. Hubby and I are not fond of Cheesecake but truth be told, we ate the entire slice! It was delicious! It's hard to come here and not have a steak as they're always on point, but this time around, our table expanded beyond the beef and tried the chicken breast (amazingly juicy) and the Orange Roughy fish (would have licked the plate if I could have delicious). We were NOT disappointed ~ all three were succulent. I strongly suggest making a reservation as it is rightfully always busy!

Hands down my favourite place! As I enjoy my prime rib dinner for a fair price. This place have been around forever and I’m very thankful it is still operating so well. Brunch is amazing here as well. Thank you for continuing to deliver such amazing food to your customers at a very fair price. Best take out.

Large group dinner. Food was great and our server very good. But if you are going to spend what we did i don't want to feel rushed. Make sure you ask how long you have! Great find and portions so worth the visit!

*avoid this place at all cost. NOT CELIAC SAFE Golf steak house in Kitchener/ Waterloo. I called ahead to ask about options before we attended the wedding. Was told, all good, and celiac is super common for them. I was to be given a stir fry. Got there tonight, and talked to 3 servers before hand to make sure all was still good. We were told they forgot about the celiac meal. Out came this meal, I double checked with the server twice to be assured that It was fine and was told all is good. The meal is celiac safe. 10 bites in, I found a noodle in my dish. I was then told it was not a gluten free noodle and that they « apologize for the inconvenience » Inconvenience? I had to leave the wedding that we drove 9 hours to with cramps and nausea. Now I wait for this to get worst. I never eat out and of course when I do, this happens. We deserve better.

Loved the food. Had a 12 oz steak. Comes with soup and Salad bar! Bread so tasty and the fried calamari. Bday girl had rack of lamb. Prices are sooooo good. I can't even imagine a 12 oz steak from the Keg. I'm from Bolton.. worth the drive!

Went after hearing about it, and the food was fantastic. The portions were great and the quality of the meat was excellent. We got the surf and turf and the butter being on the side is greatly appreciated, as it lets me choose however much I prefer. The kids menu has good choices for kids who are usually a bit more picky. The salad bar was also great, with some options that aren't common elsewhere. Overall it was a great experience and thank you for the birthday cake! Next time I'm in town I will definitely be returning. Thanks Hayley for the great service!

Food is always good. No complaints there. Had a christmas party here, and there were 7 people, and 2 DDs.. but we got cut off after 6 shots and maybe 2 or 3 mixed drinks per person. No one was belligerent, too loud or acting stupid or anything.. so Im not sure why we got cut off. But anyway, we wont be having christmas partys here in the future. Again, Food was great!

Went for the first time this past weekend. Loved the salad bar. Loved the ice cream dessert. Didnt like the butternut squash soup nor the veg that came with our entrees. No one at our table knew what it was. We think zucchini, didnt recognize the rest so we all left it. The salmon wasnt cooked enough, had to send it back. 2nd time same thing, so I left that too. For what we paid, wasnt worth it, sorry. Probably wont return.

The first time that I didnt have steak. For a change up I had the ribs and they were excellent. As always the soup and salad were top notch too. Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator, but not at the main entrance. A little inconvenient, better to call upon arrival to arrange for the elevator (an attendant must operate it).

mehhh - dont see what the hype is here. I was invited to a celebration at this restaurant, and we had a choice of 5 or 6 main courses. The seats were quite cramped and close together. The dish i ordered (prime rib) arrived in adequate time. I was surprised no choice of vegetable...in fact all the meals i observed around me had same vegetable - oily green beans. Wow ... thats one expensive vegetable. I have medical condition which can not tolerate gassy veggies - had no main course veggies, its good i ate a bit more from salad bar. The prime rib tasted fatty and sinuey, a cut from a prime elderly livestock. Entire meal seemed bland with only taste coming from sour cream accomodating the baked potato. Dessert consisted of choice of only 2 selections. The main dish also was not that filling either. Service was average to good.

My family and I have been dining at Golf s Steakhouse for over 20 years, and after a few years away, my recent visit reminded me why I love this place so much. I brought my team here to celebrate our 3-year agency anniversary, and the experience was outstanding. From the timeless and elegant ambiance as you walk in, to the exceptional service, delicious food, and overall atmosphere, it was a memorable evening. If you can, try to get a seat in the solarium it s truly special. Can t wait to go back!

Overall, decent. Its a little outdated but still a nice place. I did not take photos. However, everything was almost on point. I dont think anywhere I can afford will get a perfect score. Steaks were cooked to perfection across the board (we had sirloin, filet mingon, t-bone, and rib eye). Their garlic mashed potatoes were wonderful! The dessert was pretty awesome, I had a carrot cake, and my wife got their reeses pcs. pie. 1-10, Ill give it a 6. Not a regular restaurant Id go to, more for special occasions. For 2 people, with drinks, dessert, coffee, and tip, it was about $200. Once a year is ok, I think. Anyways, chow, enjoy your visit. Maybe your experience will totally nix mine??

The server was very nice, attentive and polite. No complaints at all on their behalf. The settings were nice and the tables were nice as well. The general atmosphere is very dated from the mid 90s. There was also a hole in the tablecloth right in the middle. There was also a dried on chunk of, something on my water glass, which I didn t notice until the end of the meal. So that was kinda gross. My main issue was the portion sizes. Ordered a charbroiled chicken breast and it was a small breast butterflied to make it look larger. The piece, even butterflied was the size of my palm. It came with a handful of fries and green beans. Everyone at the table agreed that the green beans were not tasty and passed on them for their meals. The chicken was very dry and tough around the edges. The chicken tasted good, just overdone. The fries were great, but just not enough. Think a small juice glass filled with fries to imagine the size. The plates are tiny to make them look more full, but everyone commented on the small plate sizes. Their dinner plates were what you d expect a salad plate size at other restaurants would be. For $28 + tip, I left hungry and am currently making a second dinner at home.

Great waitress. Wonderful food

August 22, 2024

Couldn t be more disappointed For decades, Golf s Steak House in Kitchener has been our go to restaurant for a special meal. It has always been great food and a pleasant experience. That changed tonight. We ordered our usual, my husband the prime rib, and myself, the petit filet. The first minor disappointment was the smaller slices of garlic bread, cut from a baguette, and a little crunchy, instead of the larger softer pieces. Nothing major. The salad bar is still terrific, and the sides were delicious. However, my filet, though cooked perfectly, was tough, I couldn t chew it, and sent it back when the waitress showed up to remove my husband s plate. The is the 2nd time in my life I have sent a filet back for being tough, with two very different responses. The first time was The Keg, where they replaced, not only my steak, but the sides as well, which I had already eaten from the original entree. To. top it off, they also removed it from the bill. Golf s solution was to offer coffee/tea & a dessert. I don t drink coffee/tea and I don t eat dessert. She brought our bill, and the machine to pay (which had a larger amount in it, by more than $25). When I asked about the bill I asked for a discount on my meal because I couldn t eat the meat. I would have been thankful for something off, not free, as I did eat all the parts of the meal. When I spoke to the manager on departing, he told me the chef tasted it and didn t find it tough. The customer isn t always right.The filet is supposed to be the most tender cut, which is why I order it, as I have trouble chewing. My hubby s prime rib was more tender than the filet. Guess we re going to have to find someplace new.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!! I came here with my sister on August 2nd to celebrate her birthday and we left with big smiles on our faces and our bellies full. First of all Hailey was an amazing server, very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Hailey. Everything was absolutely amazing. Our drinks were super tasty, the alcohol wasn t over powering and they were garnished wonderfully. The salad bar was fully stocked and very fresh, being able to customize your own salad was a fun and enjoyable twist! The soup of the day was also delicious, I myself am picky when it comes to soup but I just couldn t get enough! I got the shrimp cocktail for my appetizer and I don t think I ve EVER had fresher shrimp in my entire life, and I ve been alive for almost 30 years and boy oh boy have I ever ate a lot of shrimp in my days. My sister got the surf and turf with mashed potatoes and enjoyed it all. I happened to get a little taste of her mashed potatoes and it Made me very sad I chose a different side over the mashed potatoes. I got the sirloin with fries which was absolutely delicious. The only thing I would say is that my steak could have been a little more rare (however, that s my fault and I only blame myself, NOT THE STAFF WHATSOEVER). I always get nervous ordering my steak blue rare because I m worried I ll get made fun of : ( . So due to my own insecurity I ordered it rare instead, still 100% delicious :) In conclusion, we were both very satisfied with our experience and CAN NOT WAIT to come back before we move 3+ hours away in the fall and can never come back again HOLY COW!!! I almost forgot the staff were so kind that they included a scrumptious FREE cheesecake on the house for my sister for her birthday. Talk about good hospitality, eh?

NOT ANYMORE!! Garbage. That is the new defn of Golfs steaks and food. We have been eating Golfs for years - they were our fave steak house for years. Not anymore. Our orders over the last two months weve noticed a MASSIVE drop in the quality of both the cuts of meat used and the sides included with the steak dinners. Caesar salad as a side was always a choice with the striploin steak - now its $4 extra. The garden salad you get now for takeout is literally diced lettuce w some cucumber. No big deal. I didnt even care about that so much - as long as the steak didnt change! Well it has. I love steak. I make my own ALOT so I know a good cut versus garbage. In trying to save money (guessing) Golfs have clearly changed their beef supplier. Put it this way, when my steak was delivered last night - it was like a piece of shoe leather. Fried zucchini on the side? Like, mush. Im not even kidding. SO bad/disappointing that I actually drove it all the way BACK from my house to the Golfs dining room. I walked in to show them, along with receipts. That.. is how bad it was!! True story. Heres the kicker. I didnt want my money back, I told them. I wanted to ask, if I was a first time customer - would THIS be representative of a Golf striploin steak?? I thought this was an anomaly. A mistake. A one-off. Throw it in the garbage, I said, and turned to leave. Wait! She yelled behind me: Do you want a replacement or upgrade to prime rib, if its quicker? I dont want anything I didnt pay for, so I said no. Just the steak?, she asked. I only have about 5 minutes, I said (I live and drove from St Jacobs). So, the steak was replaced in a new brown bag, I left and went home. When I opened the replacement steak at home, although certainly fresher, it was the same garbage cut of Canada A (maybe?) beef. Im not kidding folks. This meat was SO tough & riddled with grissle that my steak knife couldnt even cut it. Just like the first one, my knife just kept going back and forth - it would never come apart!! Used to be you could pull it apart with a fork! So tender and delicious. Not anymore! Threw that one in the garbage too. I tried but..it wasnt even edible!! Folks, my wife and I have been loyal Golfs customers for years (and years) - striploin, every time. THAT is why I drove it all the way back. Not anymore. Ill never dine or eat Golfs again. If you value your money, I highly recommend you dont waste it here. And wasting it is exactly what you will be doing. I would rather pay MORE for a better cut of steak. But charging the SAME price for what is clearly MUCH (much) lower quality beef and putting the Golfs brand on it is downright criminal. No more. The end of an era I guess. Too bad. Ill really miss the old Golfs steak house. Golfs has undergone a rebranding: Golfs Budget Cuts and See Food akin to your local Walmart striploin and Highliner fish cakes. Its a very sad day!! 1 out of 5 (solely for the soup)

They took away my favourite bread and replaced it with crusty dry garlic toast that should be used as croutons. Probably won t be back unless they reverse this obvious attempt at saving money.

Golfs has always been an important place to my husband and I. We had our wedding reception there 25 years ago, and when we came recently for our 25th anniversary dinner Golfs made the extra effort to make it perfect!!

I would wholeheartedly recommended Golfs Steakhouse for any occasion. We recently had a rehearsal dinner for 28 and the experience was entirely positive. Food was all delicious and service was great with lovely capable servers. We had a personalized menu including pictures of the celebrated couple and they turned out great. The process to make that happen was effortless. We had six members of our party cancel at the last moment and the restaurant made that shift with ease. We also had young children, an infant and a celiac. All our needs were cheerfully accommodated and everyone had a great time. Thanks to owners, staff and management for a memorable night!

Its my favorite restaurant to dine at. I go here for all my special occasions. The food is excellent. Well, portioned items. Ive never been disappointed with anything here. The service is wonderful, so welcoming and attentive. The restaurants interior is a bit outdated. Needs some updated features. Very clean and neatly set up tables, a semi casual environment, lots of parking, perfect for that special occasion.

Food is ok except for the salad bar which just looks sketchy. It also feels like youre eating in a seniors care home. The average age of the customers seems to be around 90. Nice, efficient staff. Garlic bread isnt toasted...very weird. Not for young people looking for a night out but the perfect place to take your granny for an early dinner.

I normally only like to post positive reviews however I must make an exception in this case as a warning to others who are heat sensitive. This review, ironically, has nothing to do with the food as I did not have enough of it to review it, even though I paid $39.95 plus tax and tip for the Sunday brunch. The group of six who I was treating to brunch today arrived at noon on a warm Sunday afternoon (humidex 34 C). We were seated at a table under a glass roof that was covered with blinds. It was, despite that, almost 85 C in that area. I am a very heat sensitive individual and was immediately uncomfortable. I made one selection from the buffet, did not even finish it and had to leave as I literally could not stand the heat any longer. While the rest of my party ate, I sat in the parking lot with my air conditioning on and I was paying! Our server was told about how uncomfortable I was but at no time did he offer us a table in a cooler section of the restaurant. He was however, okay with taking my $270.00. Be warned, if you are at all heat sensitive, avoid this place like the plague.

We chose Golf s for organizing our wedding reception dinner. I would like to express my heartfelt disappointment with the services and the laid back service which we received. Our simple request to just modify the only Special occasion menu to include a veg option and replace a Chicken option to Chicken Parmesan was not honoured. No appetizers were served during the cocktail hour upon agreeing to it during our last meeting. guests complained about being hungry until the dinner was served. Communication on their execution plan from golf s did not exist at all. There was no checkin from Golf s end after the dinner or during the dinner if it s going as planned.not even one contact was made by Golf s for any clarifications during the complete process. however, the servers (Mario, Jaden) were good and did their part. I am still giving one star for the sake of servers otherwise Golf s doesn t deserve any. Table arrangements were changed and was not same as the discussed plan which led to additional cost on decorations. No one from Golf s informed us about this change. We had been in touch with golf s since more than a month, wanting to plan out this and everything was kind of all over the place on the Big day. I will not recommend this place for any mass event planning. You failed us on our day.

This is a good value if you dont care about the dated decor and mindset. Beer and cocktails were affordable, and so was the food. Wow, this is the first time Ive seen Jell-o in a buffet. I questioned the cleanliness inside the kitchen, as there were many flies, and the ventilation duck looked like it never been clean since the restaurant opened. I was worried about food poisoning, but I woke up just fine the next morning.

Myself and my family have been coming here since I can remember. It has always been the best food and service in town. Every visit feels decadent, the food is delicious, and with a wide selection of choices on the menu its hard to stop despite the portion size being generous. I almost always go with the chefs cut of prime rib. This last trip, however, I threw in a lobster tail and sampled the rack of lamb my girlfriend ordered. All was to die for, and thats not even mentioning the bacon wrapped scallops, escargot, or creme brulee we ordered for dessert!

We have been going there for many years and never been disappointed. The food, price and salad bar are always up to par and we look forward to the chicken livers in the salad bar. Yesterday my wife ordered the prime rib regular cut and I had the strip loin. The meal also included bread (kudos) which apparently many restaurants are not including these days. Presentation and portions were up to standard as well. My only criticism which is why I am posting this review was I found my veggies and soup were extra salty, the potato soup was great apart from being salty. Also I found my steak while cooked to my specs, did not taste as if it was charcoal grilled (??). Please do not construe my comments as being detrimental, but I felt obligated to at least mention this. I did mention this to the server who said it could have been a different chef that evening. My wife found her meal to be fine...maybe it was just me.

June 22, 2024

The place could use a little updating.Went on a busy Saturday night! However,we were seated immediately at a nice table for 4 people,with A bit of a window view. Our server was very good.The prime rib dinner Was very good and an excellent value for the money considering all the Side dishes,too! The bottles of wine were good and priced well! The Salad bar wasnt as good as it use to be,the only dishes appearing fresh Was the lettuce and the cucumber salad and they were fine! It was after 7 00 when we arrive and the entire salad bar needed a Refresh.....i thought some of the customers could have left their Ball caps and jeans at home,but,hey free country sort of.When it comes To attire anyway! Would return for the prime rib dinner anytime!!!

Old school Steakhouse, This Steakhouse is far above the chain restaurants like the keg. Although the salad bar needs a bit of revamping, everything else is on point. The quality of the food as well as the atmosphere speaks for itself. You can also call ahead to ask for seating with the view of the grand river. If youre looking for negotiation & class, put on a delightful outfit and enjoy your night out! It wont break the bank. Wheelchair accessibility: Not all areas accessible.

Great little spot! Very dated and it gives it this very comfortable atmosphere. My steak was cooked to a perfect Chicago medium rare and the crab legs were a very generous portion. What got me was how great the price was.... definitely going back.

June 22, 2024

Am I the only honest person here who is going to review this place!? This is NOT worth 4.5 stars nor the price. Food came over cooked, flavorless steaks, mushed asparagus, very chunky gravy, and the salad bar is I would not even consider mediocre. The waitress was meh, unapologetic about the food. We complained and didnt hear from the manager. We didnt even try to eat our meals and a bill for 186 dollars later. We heard 4 other tables complain about their dinner. Do not waste your money or time.

We went for my FIL and BILs birthday. The servers were great. Ours had an awesome sense of humor. The buffet was good, though lacking options, what was there tasted great. Their accessibility left a lot to be desired. You have to go to a completely separate entrance and buzz inside to get to the elevator and access the restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place, though, to anybody looking to celebrate a special occasion. Wheelchair accessibility: You have to buzz into the restaurant and wait for someone to come get you and take you up the elevator to the restaurant. Could be a better system.

UPDATE: Monday evenings offer a Seniors menu that includes garlic bread, soup or salad bar and dessert. An exceptional deal for exceptional food. Reservations strongly suggested! This is the place in the Region to go to for a prime rib dinner! Your meal includes soup of the day, which is always excellent, AND salad with a generous portion of beef, potato choice and vegetables, all reasonably priced. And you MUST save room for their house made cheesecake!! Beef never anything less than excellent, service impeccable and a great evening always. This has been our go-to for larger family celebrations or intimate date nights.
