The Beefeater Steakhouse in Medicine Hat

Mediocre at best. Chef didn t know what medium rare was. Prices are way too high. The only good thing i have to say is, it s a nice restaurant visually and the staff were very kind. Just wish they good at making food considering that is the basis of the places existence. The owner will reply to these reviews trying to defend the restaurant but I have been to many steakhouses in this country and down south. Most know what medium rare is .. because he feels it necessary to defend his mistakes instead of rectify them they get 1 star. I wanted to give 2 but they aren t worth it.

Love this place. Our server was exceptional. Thanks Sonia

I ordered medium rare steak and shrimp i received my plate and right away the lady asked how it was just had one bite of vegetables never seen her again my steak was over cooked and tasted like charcoal without any service I left it but for a high price the shrimp and stuffed potato was awesome so I think twice on going again to celebrate my birthday

Everything is very tasty! Friendly staff, some speak several languages and even Ukrainian. Cozy atmosphere. Thank you!

Hi end, classy and great place to dine. Staff are amazing

Salad was great. Ordered a T-bone steak and it tasted like charcoal would not recommend for the prise

A lovely restaurant with excellent food, friendly good service, and a relaxing atmosphere.

Nick and his staff provide a truly 5 star experience. The food and service is unparalleled in medicine hat.

Wow.. first time there will be returning

We have never had a bad meal here. Best steak in the city.

Its a steak house so pricey but service was great we just stopped in for a pint and a quick appetizer.

Ive had minute steak thicker then the 10 oz ribeye!!!. stuffed potato stone cold. garlic toast was like a hockey puck

We liked everything we ate except for when I ordered Prime rib Kings cut the sauce for it was short it wasnt enough for the 16oz meat

We ate at the Beefeater last night with friends. My friend and I ordered the Ribeye and T-Bone steaks and could not have been more underwhelmed. Both steaks were very thin like minute steaks; Im unsure how they thought they could even cool mine medium rare (it was not cooked correctly). However, our server was fantastic as was the atmosphere. When you spend $80+ per person, you expect better though. Very disappointing and wont be back again.

Highly recommend this place, the food is amazing and the management and staff are very kind people! The owner is a phenomenal guy who has always a smile on his face :)

Always a pleasure going there!! Good food,great service. Real class!!!

First time at this restaurant and for the most part, I enjoyed my experience. I had the 12 Escargot as an appetizer. I found the escargot to be rather small compared to what I would have gotten in other high end steakhouses. So probably wouldnt order that again. The entree, Chicken Cordon Blue, was a large portion with stuffed potatoes, veggies and soup. Pretty good flavour but would try something else next time. Everyone enjoyed their meals. What I give the high rating is the staff. Very attentive, pleasant and professionally friendly. The restaurant was well run, clean and modern decor. I would come back because of them.

Everything was topnotch from a very friendly welcome to excellent service and food.

The food I would say is so so. But service and atmosphere was wonderful

Super clean and great service. Good value for your buck.

An enjoyable Valentines lunch.

Very satisfied

FANTASTIC!

Delicious food every time ! Great cheesecake and very friendly staff!

For Medicine Hat, this is a great spot. I had the ribeye which was cooked on a huge flaming grill right in front of us and was done perfectly. Very flavorful with a char you cant get anywhere else. Our server made sure we were happy. I enjoy the white table cloths. We ordered Old Fashioneds and got strange cocktails. We should have read the menu because we were served what was described, only issue is that the restaurant is confused about what an old fashioned should be. This place definitely costs a bit more than others in town, but you pay for what you get. Id go here before the Keg or other franchise restaurants for sure.

Really amazing dinner and superb service

Great place to dine. Food has always been consistently great as have the staff.

I love this restaurant, very good attention by all the staff that attended me, the food was very well seasoned with a lot of quality, I recommend it, be sure to visit this place

Great service. Great staff.

Fabulous as usual....

Amazing French Onion soup and steak. Service was impeccable. We went as a large group of perfectionist that expect excellence and they somehow managed to impress everyone

It was a little loud when we were here and the inside seems a bit dated but the food and service was outstanding

Fantastic, service and quality

Overpriced, very average food, not fine dining by any stretch of the imagination. French onion soup was pathetic. Green beans badly undercooked, salmon portion tiny it was the tail end of the fish and looked around 4 ounces. Waste of money at $41.00 wont be back ever again. Parking: Awful.

My wife took me out for my 60th birthday. I have sinned here before and always enjoyed the food. I had the escargots in the shell which were good although I prefer them the way they used to be served in a dish with the cheese and garlic sauce. I had the French onion soup next which was also excellent. For the main I had the filet mignon with the mashed baked potatoes with all the fixings. We also preferred a side of mushrooms and onions which were more than enough for the two of us. The server was awesome and attentive as you would expect from an above average dining facility. She noticed when drinks were low and refilled our water glasses. She did not rush us at all which I truly appreciated. None of the courses were rushed so we really enjoyed a leisurely meal and conversation. We did not try the dessert menu as we were quite full by the end of the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will return. We had saved up to go out for this meal as normally we cannot afford this luxury but it was well worth it. I do miss the salad and soup bar that they used to have though.

A really nice steak House

Best steak house in Medicine Hat.

Steak was great.

Best in Medicine Hat!

The absolute BEST food in town, with incredible people. I had to take a picture of the food AFTERWARDS because it was to good to remember to take a picture. The prime rib is a MUST!

Great and friendly service. great for stakes and dessert. Not much choices otherwise

Prime Rib was HUGE and delicious as always

10/10 fantastic. Prime Rib was perfectly cooked. Amazing reccomendations gel. The staff. Top notch service. Will come back.

This place is trying to be something its definitely not which is a high end Steakhouse...the meat was good but you can get the same quality at other places for substantially less in MH. Service is mediocre at best. The ambiance is non existent and kinda reminds me of being at a funeral home. Cutlery was dirty and needed to be changed, and we had to leave our coats on the whole time cause the front door closes too slowly and if youre seated anywhere near the door, you constantly get a blast of cold air. I guess the old, white clientele still like these drab, jurassic style restaurants...I prefer a restaurant with life.

All around good. Was an off night for them but will go back for another special occasion.

This restaurant would qualify as fine dining. They have a good wine list, food selection and a great atmosphere. The service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Steaks were done to perfection. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. A great value for a nice evening out.

We decided to take company from BC here to experience real Alberta beef, and the steaks were delicious...I highly recommend the chefs sauce, and the stuffed potatoes! However the lobster left much to be desired, and I felt that much of the menu could be things made at home. They were out of the cheesecake too :( Overall very pleased and will return

Hadnt been there in years. Ordered the peppercorn steak and it was everything I remembered and more. Just wow. Best meal in town in my opinion. But I do love a good steak

Prime rib was great, salad portions very small and barely covered the plate, no offer of refills on soft drinks.

My companion had the soup and stake, I had the salad and stake. The soup was ok but the salad was pretty sad, the steaks and potatoes made up for it. I wish they had beer on tap. Friendly service and a short walk from the hotel.

The food was very good and the service was top notch!

My Father DJ MacLean my dad is a practicing lawyer on the Saskatchewan and Alberta bar and treated the family who are here in Medicine Hat delicious food I thoroughly enjoyed my meal

My steak was prepared perfectly! This is easily the best Steak house in Medicine Hat! Awesome for celebrations or just for dinner. Food : 5/5

My family has been coming to the Beefeater since I was a teenager and the food is consistently excellent and the service superb! It continues to be our favorite today! Many years have passed since my earliest experiences, but I sure enjoy amazing food and new memories made with my dad! The best service and staff in the city! Parking: Close to the door and easily accessible!

Of course the steak was excellent

We were here last night for dinner and it was a great experience. Unlike many other restaurants, you havent cut back on staff and it really showed. Service was fast, efficient, and very pleasant. Even the owner and his wife were walking around helping out which was really nice to see. Food was very good and the ambiance was perfect. The only negative thing I could possibly say was that the starter salad was lacking, one tomato wedge, one cucumber slice and some bagged lettuce was just not quite what I expected. For a higher end restaurant I guess I was a little underwhelmed. But still gave 5 stars because overall it was a good experience, and the steak was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Very nice food and excellent and friendly staff members.

Excellent everything Vegetarian options: Green beans and peppers with onions exceptional Food : 5/5 |

We went to the Beefeater on my Birthday. All I can say is WOW! The best steak I have ever eaten. My hats off to the chefs.

This is the best steakhouse in medicine hat. Food is so good, and employees are so friendly.

Incredible food and fantastic staff! Dated facility, but Im not there to look at the decor.

Great deal on a delicious steak sandwich

Food was very good and service was good but server did hover a lot and took plates while others were eating! I was disappointed that some pastas were not on the menu!

The food was amazing and reasonably priced. We had a wonderful night out

Excellent food and service. Lovely atmosphere and good value for the money!

Food is amazing but portions are too large if you can believe Im saying that. Also surprised that the prices were fairly reasonable. Yes, we had one dessert between the three of us and it was delicious.

This place has been around front the 70s and is still putting out great food. The service was really good with a great atmosphere also. Good for a casual dinner or a special night out. I ordered the Beef Neptune pee a recommendation from a local friend, and it did not disappoint. Took the cheesecake to go and had it later. It was also really good.

Wow, what a find! We got a table right next to the grill and had a wonderful meal. Steaks were cooked perfectly, super super flavorful and quite tender. Sides were all very good. The Manhattan was quite small but made exactly how I like it, well worth it for the low price. Service was friendly and efficient.

Best steak in Medicine Hat, great service and food. I highly recommend.

Recently moved to Medicine Hat. Had to try this place. It did not disappoint. Steaks cooked to perfection were delicious. Salad was amazing and dont even get me started on the stuffed potatoes. Service was amazing too! Not one area for improvement. Thanks Beefeater!!

Prime rib was perfectly done would be better with the au jus on the side for dunking as well but was really good.

First time there. Excellent food service and atmosphere. Thanks

Overpriced for sure.

Lunch special was stake sandwich, Cesar salad, fries , garlic bread for $18 Desert turtle cake & ice cream $10 Delicious !! Thank you Food : 5/5

Sept/23 Thank you so much to the restaurant staff and the Suarts for a beautiful dinner celebrating our 45th anniversary. It was wonderful to be back in the Hat! SMH/CJH

Not the best of lunch experiences. There wasnt a single time while we were there that we felt truly welcomed. Our waitress was short and pretty unfriendly. I was hoping that the food quality would make up for the lackluster service but that was not the case. I can see this place being good for a nice slow and easy dinner but I would stay away for lunch service.

The prime rib and cheesecake were absolutely amazing for our anniversary supper. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Better that what I remember 10 yes ago.

Food was great, server was friendly and cheerful. Service was good even though the place was packed !

Was a good meal, would try again

A group of 6 Excellent service Food

Very good worth every penny but not cheep

Classic steakhouse with good food and service.

In all honesty, I was somewhat disappointed with my meal here. The service and atmosphere were pretty good, however the food was somewhat lacking. One of my coworkers had the chicken cordon bleu which was reallt good, another had the shrimp and strip loin, and I had the t-bone. The best thing by far was the French onion soup that came with the meal, it was fantastic. The other sides were so-so, the garlic bread was not what I would have expected from a nicer establishment. The steaks themselves were mostly disappointing, my coworker ordered medium and I ordered rare, and there was little difference between the steaks when we compared. The steak cuts were also quite a bit thinner than expected, not what I would typically expect from a steakhouse. The flavour wasnt bad but there simply wasnt anything special or particularly spectacular. Not a bad meal, just somewhat disappointing overall for the price, which was quite high. For a comparable price, I found the Rusty Kitchen a better option for price/quality. Overall, not a bad place to eat, perhaps I had too high of expectations.

Waitress was nice but that s all that was good about this place. Wine glass smelled like cleaning detergent, starter salad was bagged salad with one piece of tomato and one piece of cucumber, salmon Neptune was awful - fish had no spice and shredded crab meat topped it with a few asparagus but nearly no sauce! First visit here and based on the price, I expected a decent meal. Also, prices on drink menu are incorrect and cost more than stated. When mentioned to the hostess, I was told she had the same meal and it was fine, and that this is how they have been making it for forty some years. Will not be returning and cannot recommend.

It was an extremely busy night on Saturday but the service was okay and the food came out with a good amount of time. The steak was good but not cooked evenly throughout it. Asparagus was too soft.

The last time we were here my steak came blue and I has ordered it well done. By the time someone came to check, my meal was floating in blood and my husbands food was cold as he wanted to eat with me. When they brought mine back it was like it had been microwaved, very rough and strangely grey now, and plate still filled with cold veg in blood. No offer to refund or make fresh. Have never gone back since. Our very first visit here was the opposite as we had friendly server quick service and a nice meal on a very much more busy night.

Company christmas party there and it was outstanding

Great food. Wait staff was outstanding during a very busy night. We received everything promptly and it was all delicious.

We had a Christmas party downstairs. Great company super great food. Service was fantastic. Complements to the Chef and staff. If you went away hungry it would be your own fault. Thank you all very much.

Great food and service! Our server Melynda was awesome and we enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend.

I worked in the Service Industry for 36 years. Trained in High end Service. I was disappointed yesterday with Lunch, The Beefeater has a reputation for fine dining. We were seated , the server came to the table with extra settings as we were going to be 4 guests. After some time she asked if we would like a drink, we ordered coffee, when it eventually arrived and put in front of us, the cup handle was pointing across the table and the spoon was pointing to the person beside me, a small detail but not correct. The other 2 guests arrived 10 minutes later, sat for the longest time before being acknowledged, eventually She returned and took drink orders. 3 of us ordered the Lunch Special, and the other person the Yeoman Sandwich. I asked if the potato that came with the sandwich could be put on my plate and my FF put on the Sandwich, I was told the Kitchen would not do that, that we would have to do that ourselves, I was amazed at that. The Sandwich came with Soup first , this was delivered, next thing we have the server at the table with the Meals and the soup plate still on the table meaning we had to hold the plate for her to place meals, again not he best. The Steaks were cooked well, the Caesar salad was soggy, and the FF looked like fast food FFs, The Yeoman Dip was good. We were never offered Dessert. I had not been to Beefeater since 2007 as I moved away, back then their food/service was top notch. Very disappointing. Parking: No Clue

Best steak Ive had in years. This place is amazing.

Before I begin Id like to say this restaurant has been a staple for fine dining in my family. However, we have been disappointed with a few things on the last couple visits, which has affected our choices for going out. Service is still great, and the beef was fantastic. Steaks came out cooked as requested. The desserts came out quickly and were tasty. What has been frustrating on the last couple visits was the quality of cooking for the veggies, and the cost for some items. We had Brussel sprouts as the vegetable included in the meal. Rather than being roasted and spiced, they were boiled and soggy with little seasoning (much like a care home may cook them). For those who dont drink, a pop comes in a small glass full of ice. Even without the ice, it probably amounts to a miniature cans worth of drink. We knew it was not free refills, but for each cup being $3.50, this seemed excessive. I understand the restaurant is considered high end, but this is an unnecessary upcharge. On our most recent visit, I asked to substitute the complimentary garden salad with my meal for a caesar. I was told no problem, but there would be a small charge. The salad was good, however, when the bill came, I was not charged a substitution. I was charged $10 for less than a starter sized caeser salad. $10 for something that used to come with the salad bar. This is not what I would consider an appropriate upcharge either. If our experience of the non-meat parts of the meal were reasonable and more fitting of the gorgeous steaks, we would visit more often. But for now, we may be looking for somewhere with more consistent quality and reasonable charges for already high-margin items.

Food amazing. Ended up facing bathroom for my reservation in the bar. My chair was ripped. Bill holder leather cracked. Ended up buying cheapest meal. It felt like an average pub.

I wasnt impressed at all. I had no idea that a 16 OZ T-bone could be cut so thin. The onion soups was served barely warm that made it taste greasy. The stuffed potatoes were very temped as well. The $26 dollar roast with gravy was much nicer than that skinny T-bone at $49. So I think this place will not be on my regular list of places to go or entertain my guests.

Medicine Hats go to streak house.

Never a bad experience here! The beef Neptune is incredible, and our waitress was great

The meal and service was top notch everything was perfect and the prices were great keep up the good work. was so nice to go out and enjoy a good Neal and company

Love the Beefeater. Steaks are unbeatable!

The steak Neptune is delicious. Dont expect to linger after dinner. As soon as youre finished eating, they bring the bill and want you to pay.

Only a mediocre experience. Brought the gf for a fancy night out and we both ordered neptunes. The steak wasn t seasoned at all and overdone to my liking, and the seafood garnish of the Neptune looked, felt, and tasted like it came from a can. Not to mention the hollandaise sauce they used looked like melted Swiss cheese poured over the meal and side broccoli. Service was very friendly, but the prices are outrageous. Could just be me but honestly would prefer the keg!

Ordered Salmon dish. Salmon was cooked nicely, but hollandaise sauce wasn t what you d expect. It was just unmelted cheese shreds partially baked on top of asparagus. Also ordered the $10 apple pie for dessert which was soggy, and old. The photo makes it look amazing, but it was not. Told the waitress and no cost was subtracted from the bill, there was no attempt to rectify. Didn t really seem to care. The asparagus soup was amazing though. IMO not worth the money.

Very good, the food was superb and very filling.

Service was good . Food was good. We were all a little sad that there isnt a soup & salad bar anymore.

Always decent service and food

Absolutely the worst food I have eaten in Medicine Hat . For how much you charge , here s my French onion soup came in a cereal bowl . With believe it or not CROUTONS on top and some fake powdered Parmesan cheese shaken on top and clumped on it maybe a tablespoon in total . The escargot TERRIBLE . The ribs at least the fell off the bone but dry and brittle . The chicken accompanying the ribs shared the same no name bbq sauce squeezed out on top of the whole disgusting mess with some terrible veggies on the side . Two people 130 dollars and didn t , couldn t finish our food . The service was great there were two couples in there so I hope so . If my server wasn t so kind the food would have been sent back . thIs restaurant should honestly be ashamed of what it serves and maybe call for chef Ramsay to come save this loss .

Great old-school steak house. Excellent service and good value.

Excellent!! This is the place to eat in Medicine Hat! Ate there yesterday & will be coming back next time I come to Medicine Hat. Its been over 25 years since I last ate there and the food is still delicious after all these years! Far superior to chain restaurants plus the prices are similar so choose local!

The steaks were not as tasty or tender as we expected. And we ordered their best steaks.

The staff and owner were very friendly and the food was excellent. Parking: Parking was good.

I received the wrong order. They left my wife s food at our table while they prepared the correct order so hers was cold when mine finally arrived . 12oz ribeye was over done but I guess it would be considering how thin it was. It looked like a fast fry steak you would get at a grocery store. My wife did not receive part of her order. The onion soup was cold. We were not offered anything for the mix ups. For an almost $200 dinner it was completely disappointing.

We are driving across the prairies, exhausted and burned out with a fussing toddler by the time we got to Medicine Hat. Our server, Simone immediately brought out a little plate for the baby and icy water for us. She recommended the steak special, which was out very quickly and was delicious. Simone checked to make sure the food was to our liking and always kept our glasses full. She provided excellent service throughout. We will be coming to The Beefeater again. Thanks so much Simone. You turned a stressful time into a lovely lunch!

Amazing portions, delicious steak! The Beefeater gives you bang for buck, well cooked food that you wont even be able to finish! Our entire group took boxes home of the delicious foods. Our group forgot the closing time and yet not even once in the hour we stayed late (sorry about that, staff and management) did we feel u welcome.

Good food, good service, great prices

The food was excellent the service was great

Sue was amazing, great sense of humour and the food outstanding!

Delicious food and the best wait staff. Our yearly anniversary spot. Nowhere else can come close.

Great place for fine dining. We have been enjoying our birthday and anniversary meals here for the last 40 years. Never disappointed with the service and quality of the meal. We are treated like family and we look forward to our next visit.

Food was delicious, courteous waitress.

The food was second to no other and the service was top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant, it was worth every penny and more.

Great food, incredibly friendly staff, love all the options, and they cater to allergies. I do miss the cream chicken soup option as it was my absolute favourite.

As usual it was excellent

The best steak & stuffed potatoes in all of Medicine Hat !! Nick & his staff go above & beyond to make sure you go away happy and full !!!

My first experience dining here really blew away my expectations. Simone was incredible and everything you could ask for in a server. Both her and the owner frequently checked on us throughout our meal. Absolutely blown away by not only the phenomenal meal, but the service as well. 10/10 will be coming for all future celebrations & date nights! Definitely recommend the signature Beefeater & the Chicken Cordon Bleu!

Nick and sraff have been awesome, have been dining here since late 1970 s, not a bad experience ever Dietary restrictions: I am Diabetic and they substitute what I need Parking: Always park within 1 minute walk Kid-friendliness: In years gone bye our kids accompanied us and always got special treatment, they loved ir

Amazing food, 5 star service!! The owner seated us and filled our water glasses. We have never been disappointed with this iconic restaurant!

One of our favorite restaurants in Medicine Hat. Great for celebrating milestones. Food is always delicious and service is exceptional.

Beef Neptune was amazing as usual. Staff was very friendly and helpful as we came in with a large group. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because is not handicap accessible. Being as the majority of the clientele there is the older generation I feel like this need to be prioritized.

I just enjoyed an excellent peppercorn steak. One of the best I had for years.

Went there far a date night and the food was amazing!! And they have very kind Waitresses definitely recommend

Friendly, great service and great food

The Beefeater has been a part of my life a lot through the last several years. I ate here the night I got engaged, for my bachelorette/bachelor party and numerous birthdays for my now husband I. Our most recent visit was for a birthday and the experience definitely had myself and our guests not overly impressed. It took over 3 hours for 14 guests to have a meal with dessert and coffee. The restaurant was so packed and busy. I m sure our sever was ready to cry by the end of it. Things were brought out in weird orders. I was not offered the Cesar salad (even though it cost extra).

Literally the only prime rib we will eat anymore. We enjoy meals and going out all over town and no one compares. The staff is always wonderful and we couldnt be happier.

Went for a nice Dinner and was absolutely amazing like usual. Such great service and prompt.

All good, the price of meal I was expecting better.

They have lots to choose from.

Had a great birthday dinner!! Thanks especially to the server who really made the evening great!! I really miss the salad bar though

Best steak in town!

First time their..excellent food..very reasonable prices.

Amazing beef Neptune I moved out of Medicine hat but still drive down just to go to the Beefeater

I wanted something simple and quick so went with the grilled chicken Caesar salad. That may have very well been the best Caesar dressing I have ever had. Try it, you wont regret! On a side note, the service was excellent as usual!

This is definately our favourite place to eat in Medicine Hat. The steak neptune is our favourite.

Excellent place, still popular after 40+ years in business. Great people! Great service!

Fantastic food, great friendly service

Super attentive staff

This restaurant cooks consistently amazing steaks! Every time I visit the Medicine-Hat area, I look forward to a meal at the Beefeater. We enjoyed steak and lobster, steak and shrimp and the beef Neptune. Although this restaurant no longer has their generous salad bar, you can still choose between salad, and usually two different soups. Every time we ve been there, French onion was one of the soups available. Last night was clam chowder, and that soup was delicious. Combine Great food with warm and friendly service and you have a good dining experience.

Was a good meal. Everything looks great.

It has been a long while. The drinks were good, know the price. We enjoyed steak of course, the full T-bone was amazing! The veg was great and I did baby potatoes. And a house salad with Italian was fantastic. So I have to say its been a long time and this was a Saturday. It was a. Great meal out. The one missing star is price. Its local though so its acceptable as well.

amazing service, the food is delicious and worth the money. the staff is incredibly kind and always remembers return customers! I brought my boyfriend from Montreal and he said it was the best steak hes ever had! the atmosphere is very lovely too. Beefeater is the place to go if you want amazing food made by people that know what theyre doing!!

Everything good as usual. Best restaurant in Medicine Hat.Staff are great

Fast and friendly service. The meal was perfect.
