Stanfield’s

I had heard great things about Stanfields so my wife and I went there Friday night. I was not impressed at all. I had a sirloin that was not seasoned at all and my wife had the fish fillets that tasted like they were battered in flour instead of corn meal. We will not be back unless someone else is paying for it.

Stanfields Steakhouse is now a new favorite. It’s a local spot that my fiancé was told about by friends at work (we’re new to the area) and we checked it out on a Saturday night. The restaurant was hopping, and I really liked the casual atmosphere and décor (think roadhouse, plus lots of live plants). Our waiter was great and the food was delicious. We had the fried onion appetizer, which was fabulous, and both had steaks and shrimp for dinner. We both tend to err towards the rare /​medium rare side for stakes, so our steaks were overcooked, but it’s a hometown joint and nobody was expecting Ruth’s Chris — we were okay with a solid medium this time, but will be more explicit about «yes, I really want it bloody» next time. The salad bar was delicious, clean, and well stocked, but I wish they had something other than iceberg. The prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be back, and we see why everybody likes it!

Stanfield’s is a good family restaurant, and is a favorite amongst the locals for a weekend dinner spot.
They have above-​average steaks, better than I’ve had elsewhere. I ordered the 14 oz ribeye, and it was juicy, well-​cooked, and had good flavor.
Their salad bar is lame.
But the potato salad is homemade.
They have options for all ages, and for every appetite.
The word on the street is they have fried cheesecake…
Overall, it’s a solid spot for a good meal. But there might be a wait on Friday night, and it’s a bit of a drive out there.
