The Wonder Bar Steak House

My husband and I love to eat here! Best steaks in the area and we have always had great service!

Best steakhouse south of Pittsburgh. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Expect to pay around $ 100 for a table of two. Not somewhere to go on a whim, but perfect for special occasions. Also not for cheapskates, expect to pay more than you would at Outback, just enjoy the evening.
The USDA prime steaks are well seasoned and cooked perfectly to your order. The sides are large and the salads are great. The atmosphere is classic, it has the feel of dining in a 1950s high end restaurant.

What a disappointment as far as service ! Must say the Lobster Bisque was great and our steaks were perfect. However, as I read on other reviews, service was lacking. Our waitress was not attentive even rude. She removed food before we were finished and when we stopped her she still took the utensils. She never returned to take additional drink orders. BUt I must say the waitress that finished waiting on us was terrific. Our party of 10 all said what a different personality she had! When you pay top dollar you expect not only good food but also great attentive service. Maybe a course in making customer happy is needed!

The best steaks you can get within 50 miles of here. It’s a bit pricey so you won’t be going all the time, but it’s great for a special occasion.
The food is awesome, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

The most noticeable problem here is the staff — a frowny hostess and excessively noisy servers. While we were eating dinner, it took three of them to put together a table for eight — they blabbed and laughed for the entire ten minutes it took to perform this magical feat. I believe they thought they were the floor show! As far as the food goes, my crab cakes were okay (tasty but overdone) and my husband’s steak was simply a huge portion of gristle. Ick. The bar was old school –sturdy wood with a «men’s club» feel. My glass of Chardonnay was served at the right temp so that was a plus. Bottom line: I wouldn’t make a special trip to eat here again.

Wow !!!
I have traveled around the country and I can tell you The Wonder Bar Steakhouse is as good as it gets!!!
The food and the service was top notch and the décor of the room was unbelievable!
I highly recommend this restaurant !!!

Get it together Wonder Bar. Literally, nearly three hours for dinner, in once WAS a North Central WV classic?!? Maybe our food took so long bc it was being over cooked on the line waiting for Wonder Bar to pay someone minimum wage to run our food. All five filets (and fish) showed up at our table, half well done. By that I mean… The top half of each steak was literally heat-​lamped baked to redneck, leather perfection. Maybe the appropriate thing to do was to ask for some A1 to sop up that over cooked piece of trash served to each of us at our table. Sure, the free dessert calmed my nerves, but guess what Wonder Bar… I didn’t come for the the peanut butter pie. Next time I’ll hit up Outback, at least they know how to cook a steak. Or even Applebee’s, they are equipped and capable of getting a crappy, improperly cooked steak to the table in under three hours. Call me in 2020, or for your closing party. After years of great food, we won’t be back.

Outstanding service in an old school steakhouse staff was outstanding and a good steak nice place but pretty pricey

Good atmosphere but food isn’t to die for.
Great place to grab a drink in the evening or after work. Patio overlooks downtown Clarksburg and provides a wonderful view of the sunset.

At these prices I expect food to be fresh and well prepared. This was food service food. Dry tough obviously thawed frozen mahi mahi with white rice. Kroger-​quality pale salmon cutlet with bland sauce and three pencil-​thin slivers of asparagus and a wilted piece of kale. Wrong salad delivered twice and when they finally got the dressing right a full cup was poured over the iceberg lettuce enhanced with canned garbanzo beans (nothing actually green in the salad) and canned pepperonici. We get better salad at the local gas station for half the price. If we want this kind of food again we will go to Eat n Park. The view was nice and the décor with red carpeted walls was interesting. We did get a free dessert because it was our anniversary so we did not leave hungry. No mention of daily specials while these were offered to other tables. The wine was good and priced fairly.

Excellent place to have a nice romantic dinner. The atmosphere was classy yet not stuffy. I would highly recommend the Halibut it was very tasty and seasoned perfect. Our waiter was extremely helpful and informative. We will be back.

Good service from the start. Made reservation via this app and was immediately seated upon arrival. Our waitress was top notch. I had the onion soup, house salad, NY Strip, baked potato, and a chocolate dessert. All were very well prepared. This was our second time here and I feel it was much better than our initial visit.

I had the lobster bisque and the ahi tuna; both were absolutely wonderful. The bisque was rich and savory with none of the floury taste you often get when they thicken soups. The tuna was tender, perfectly cooked rare, and large enough for it to serve as my entrée. My husband got the calamari appetizer and we both thought it was the best we’d ever had. His Delmonico was cooked to perfection and a good cut, but only about an inch thick. He prefers his about 1.5– 2 inches thick. The brownie ala mode was thick, rich, warm and decadent. The view was splendid, the service superb, and the price quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. If you are looking for a great meal in the Clarksburg area, don’t miss The Wonder Bar Steakhouse.

Just had one of the best steaks here I’ve ever had. I had a great steak like this over 2 years ago at a different restaurant and I have been searching for another place where I could get the same quality. Sadly over the past few years every place has fallen short of my expectations until now.
Choice, aged Angus beef. Tender with just the right ratio of fat to meat. I checked the reviews before I came and had high hopes.
Wonder bar, thanks for not letting me down!
Also, I recommend trying the escargot. It comes without the shell, baked in a creamy-​cheesy mixture that is awesome. After the snails were gone I used it with the bread. Honestly, even better that way.
My wife got the rock lobster tail, crab cake, and shrimp seafood trio. Being that I’m allergic to shellfish I couldn’t try them, but from a far it sure did look appetizing. They get points for presentation.
All I can say is, if you love steak, I highly recommend it.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and sometimes hard to get in without a reservation. Danny is a gracious host.

I lived in Clarksburg for two years and had the occasion to visit the Wonder Bar three times. All three times I had excellent food and service. I think the petite filet mignon is the finest I’ve ever tasted, and the tips in bleu cheese is simply amazing. We always had the house wine with dinner, our vegetables were done right and our family had a good time.
Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in NC WV

I haven’t been to the wonder bar in several years, so when we went this weekend I was starving for their amazing filet.
What we got?
One waitress that was not happy to have our table.
Four beers, one glass of house cab,
One Caesar salad soaked with dressing from a bottle. One nice little house salad.
One well done petite filet that was supposed to be on the rare side of med rare.
One regular filet that was a med done med rare.
Eight crab cake stuffed shrimp (we each had the surf and turf) that were very salty, overdone, and the size of med peel and eats.
One dessert that came out of the freezer from SAMs.
The bill total? $ 180. Really. No kidding. our party of 12 split up the bills so our not happy waitress was tipped 20% regardless.
I will not be back. I’m so sad that the amazing melt in your mouth filet I remember is gone.

Wow! I live in Chicago and I am from Texas, as such I naturally consider my self an expert on the holy grail of restaurants, The Steakhouse. In truth I am hesitant to go to places outside known bastions of beef as I am more often than not disappointed. I did not expect to find a steakhouse of this caliber, but I am glad I did! The Wonder Bar could stand on it’s own anywhere including Chigago where it reminds me of my all time favorite spot, Gene and Georgetti’s.
When you walk in there is an immediate old fashion charm reminding me of a nice welcoming supper club, where you feel like everyone already knows you even when they do not. Very welcoming experience from the moment you walk in. There is a sign on the door 1946 (I think) which let’s you know it’s a historic place, but there are also modern touches that keep it comfortable and new. The shaggy red carpet wall paper can not be described, it must be experienced.
Starting off with a cocktail is a must and the bartender was professional and expertly prepared my go to drink of choice the timeless old fashioned. The restaurant is perched high atop a hill and you get to take it in all in while drinking your favorite highball. I don’t drink martinis’, but when they were created I believe they had this spot in mind.
Now to dinner. Service throughout was professional, friendly and at no time pretentious. In two words I would describe it as causually elegant. There is a very good wine list in place with plenty Napa favorites and also some international treats. The steak is the way steak is suppose to be. A great cut of meat, prepared expertly, and how you order it. No dribbles, sauces, cuts, stacking and definitely no foam. A steak that tastes like a steak. The bone in ribeye. BOOM.
I never thought I would find a spot like this outside of Chicago and definitely was surprised to find it in Clarksburg WV. Now I just have to find a reason to get back soon.

Let me start out by saying that getting to the Wonderbar is a feat in its self. When you come to the first light on Route 50 take the exit to the right, now here is where it gets a little tricky… if you have a GPS turn it off right now! Google maps will try and take you completely down the hill and back up making a huge circle. There is a one lane black top road almost directly across from the exit that is the road that will take you up to the Wonderbar. There is a sign but not down by the road it is up on the hill and has some tree limbs so it is hard to see… even though it is huge.
The Wonderbar is not huge so definitely make reservations. When you first go in do not stop at the front door, continue down the hallway until you reach the doorway that opens into the dining room. I thought this was a little confusing because there is also a bar entrance and the waiters and waitresses are hurrying about everywhere.
My husband and I were seated by one of the windows, which when the curtains were opened had a beautiful view of Clarksburg and the mountains around it. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She let us take are time looking at the menu and answered any questions that we had. We both had lobster bisque to start with; although it was a little salty for me it was still delicious. For the main course we both had the filet mignon with house salads. Both of our filets were cooked to perfection and fantastic. I had fries as a side mainly because the other sides just didn’t sound that great (I’m not a huge baked potato fan). My husband had onion rings which they hand bread and you get a huge portion of. For dessert I had the death by chocolate cake and it was beyond words. Also, I had mentioned that it was my birthday and our waitress brought my piece of cake out with a candle. My husband had the cheesecake with raspberry sauce and it too was amazing. The only complaint that I had is they do not offer sweet tea. I know that sounds silly but I don’t like having to sweeten my tea myself at a restaurant. I mean come on this is West Virginia sweet tea is like a staple here. Over all everything was wonderful and we will definitely be dinning again at the Wonderbar.

Had the NY strip and have to say it was no better than Texas roadhouse or ryans down the way. Service was good but way overpriced. I would have scored 3 stars except for the price.
To the people who scored 4. Four stars means they wow you on at least 3 of 4 points. Taste, presentation, service, price.
The difference between a one and two star is that a one star may require you to call the health dept.
