At The Arthur J, beef is our passion.

When you combine our ability to source the best beef in the world, cooking with an incredible natural wood fire grill, and friendly thoughtful service, an incredible quality steak is born.

This is why we offer the best USDA Prime, True Japanese Wagyu, and Black Angus Beef.

Unlike most pedestrian steak houses, Each one of our Steaks is cooked skillfully by our Grill Master over a stoked live fire with smoking white oak embers.
Our steaks are available both wet-and dry-aged and well as Bone-in, grilled to perfection our magnificent J&R Woodfire Grill.

    We went to Arthur J’s to celebrate our 33rd anniversary. The restaurant came highly recommended. Overall we enjoyed most of our meal. The only thing that didn’t seem up to the quality of the other food was my husband’s prime rib. It was chewy, and at times not real pleasant. My filet was fantastic, our appetizer and salad really good. Jessica was very attentive, and the restaurant was very nice about acknowledging our anniversary

    This has been our new favorite spot for the last year, but last night was a miss. Service was fine, but the steak was average to below average. We asked the server for the steak to be prepared with extra extra char, Pittsburgh Style and to come out very hot. It was barely lukewarm. We didnt even finish it.

    Overall, disappointing. Although tasty, the portion sizes of the steaks were small relative to the over-priced costs. They forgot the onion rings that we ordered and had to ask twice for them. Both the rib-eye steaks and the popovers were sold out which we were looking forward to. I have never been to a steakhouse in my life that had sold out a popular cut of meat. The Parker House rolls were just average for a charge of ten dollars.Most steakhouses I’ve been to provide a free basket of various delicious kinds of breads at the beginning of the meal.

    This experience was subpar. Waited almost an hour to be sat for our reservation. Waited 10 minutes to be greeted by our server. Items we wanted to order were out. Other experiences have been good.

    I are here last week with friends and it was amazing. None of us had been there before and from start to finish it didn’t disappoint. The hostess was friendly and accommodating, gave my friend a birthday card when he arrived. Our server Mike was outstanding. He makes everyone feel like they’re old friends. Super knowledgeable about the menu and just knows this business better than most. We opted to get some specials they had for steak, a dry aged t-bone and a dry aged tomahawk. Both were very flavorful and tender. Don’t sleep on the sauces, I’d honestly recommend them all. For dessert we got a baked Alaska, by far the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back!
