Brian’s Steak House

Very friendly staff, some unique items on the menu and generally overall clean and friendly. Good for a quick meal with people from work, or families or even just sitting at the counter. If you’re looking for food in the area or on your way to the research triangle, worth a stop over all the other chain restaurants. Will go back next time through the area.

Staff are all very friendly, food was perfect all around. We are going back and made it a favorite on our GPS. It’s worth the stop!

Wow awesome place. Traveling and my husband and I stopped here for lunch. You can tell that this place is great because the whole community eats here. Our server was extremely kind and helpful. We didn’t have one unfriendly employee at all. Good was amazing! My husband ordered the French dip and I got the Gobbler, Brie, Granny Smith apples, Apple preserves, and turkey as a sandwich. So yummy. Bathrooms were nice and clean and we overall had a great experience. You can also get the buffet there too. It we are traveling again through VA we are totally stopping again.

This is more of a warning for diners who want cheese on your salad. The waitress will ask if you would like cheese without telling you that’s there’s an extra charge of .89. And also they charge .99 to add a few grilled onions to your sandwich. The food is always good here but the extra charges of literally tiny extras is a bit ridiculous.

Driving on I85 apart from I95 madness Brian’s Steakhouse is a delicious gem! The most tender prime beef sandwiches and pork bbq that is cooked to perfection and sauced to complement every bite. The service was courteous and attentive. In all a most enjoyable experience!

This is a reasonable family restaraunt with Good service and food that was well prepared. If you are in ⁸⁵⁄₅₈ in South Hill it’s a good stop!

Brian’s has served the best club sandwiches that I can remember every since I was a little girl! I was so glad to get to enjoy another one today and it was just as good as I remembered with hot crispy fries! Service was fast and friendly. An oldie but goody! Love this place still! My daughter had the chicken salad and it was delicious too! Never a bad meal here!

This was my first time here. I ordered the prime rib. It was about what I expected from this place. Good food, cheap prices. Also ordered the apple pie. The crust wasn’t to my liking, but the pie was well made.

This place doesn’t qualify as a steakhouse. They don’t season their steaks. The service is horrible. Steaks are tough and extremely fatty.

Brian’s really is the crown jewel of South Hill, VA. I live in the area and eat there at a minimum of 2 – 3 times a week. Any of the menu items for breakfast will leave you full and ready to start your day. At lunchtime, you can have some of their famous chicken salad or one of the delicious wraps to satisfy your taste buds. The steaks are all absolutely fantastic and seasoned to perfection, as well as seafood that you would expect to find only in a coastal community. And to finish the day off, any of their desserts are made to order and will leave you smiling. The owner, Ronnie Wells and his staff all aim to please each and every customer that comes in the door, and will accommodate you in any way possible; whether on premises for dining, or even a catering job. All of their food is fantastic and cooked just how you like it.

I just got done my dinner buffet there and all I have to say is WOW! I’ve been in town for 3 weeks and wish I knew about this place from day one. I travel for work and get an opportunity to eat a a lot of mom and pop type spots because of preference and absolutely love this place the owner was great really personable and made the experience that much better! If I’m close again I will be making the drive to eat here.

Needed to get repair on our vehicle in South Hill while on a long drive. The man we needed to see at Brown’s Towing & Auto Repair was not going to be in till 10:30 so we had time to kill. The man who took care of tires and alignment recommended we grab a bite at Brian’s Steak House.
The parking lot was crowded but we were seated immediately. Our server was very pleasant and attentive and spoke highly of Browns. We enjoyed a «second breakfast» of eggs and corned beef hash (either canned or exceptionally well-​done scratch – the way I like it!). Hubby said the coffee was good and that he liked the grits and toast, while I ate their offering of fruit (small fee for substitution of blend of grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe and honeydew for the grain products – I’m on a restricted diet). Prices were reasonable.
On our next trip through the area we will be planning a breakfast stop at Brian’s.

A solid southern diner experience with friendly and competent wait staff. I had a 16 oz prime rib with shredded real horseradish, real au jus, stuffed baked potato and salad with French dressing.
The salad was good. We pre-​agreed that medium meant pink throughout the middle. Regrettably, it was well done and honestly not very warm, much less hot.
BUT things happen and my waitress fixed it. The next prime rib was EXCELLENT. Total tab $ 25, a very good value.

The staff was friendly, the portions were a good size, and we had a great time. We had a party of 9 including 3 kids under 4 and we were easily accommodated.
I got the prime rib au jus sandwich and the meat just melted in my mouth. It was cooked to perfection and everyone else had the same opinion of their meals. We ended with dessert, I got the apple pie which was amazing. A small slice, but easily enough for two people to share, very rich, topped with caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of extra filling. The crust was easily the best pie crust I’ve ever tasted.
Only the wines are listed in the menu but our waitress knew every beer and non alcoholic beverage off the top of her head.
The place looks small and old from the outside but the inside is very cozy and inviting. Not too noisy but enough chatter to feel comfortable with kids. It has an old diner feel with amazing food.
The only downside is that we’re passing through on a road trip. If This place were near my town I’d definitely be back!
Luckily we were sick of fast food because it looks like that’s the only other option at this off ramp, I decided on this place after looking at the reviews and I’m glad I did!

Stopped here for lunch on a weekday. Got one of the lunch specials. Food was Ok. Service was pretty friendly. Atmosphere — very simple, nothing fancy. Seemed to attract the older local crowd — as most seemed local. Thought the price for the food was higher than it needed to be for what you got. Expect to pay ~$ 15 — 20 for lunch when you include the tip.
