Steak
Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.

    Ryan’s NEVER disappoints! We were celebrating our Anniversary. We actually had our wedding reception there 4 years ago. Always a treat to relive our special day while eating the best food in town, with exceptional service and amazing ambience. Thank you to ALL who made our special day another fabulous memory. Cheers!

    There was a wonderful variety of food from which to choose. Our server, Megan, was so helpful, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I could tell she enjoyed working at Ryan's through her positive responses and smiles. When our dinner was served, the food was perfectly prepared. I can't say enough about Ryan's and only encourage others to make their special dinner one that will be well remembered. I plan to return again and again. Did I mention the view from our table? It was enchanting.

    Omg! First time at Ryan’s. We drove 73 miles one way to enjoy the “Ryan” experience. It was fabulous! Ambience outstanding. Food superb. And Tucker, our server, was beyond the best there is. Friendly, responsive, and a really nice person. We will definitely return. An “A plus” evening! Thank you!

    Always enjoy dining at Ryan’s. One minor exception this time. Ordered the special Blackened Prime Rib. Unfortunately, a bit too blackened/overcooked. Also, very heavy on the bleu cheese crumble and pepper. My partner’s pork chop was excellent. Always have a great wine selection and have to love 1/2 price bottle of wine on Mondays.

    The hardest part of dining at Ryan’s is choosing your order.. every thing is outstanding! I think the Caprese is the best I’ve ever had! So is the steak tartare when available.. and no one does scallops better.

    It was our anniversary, and we were hoping for quieter seating. Instead, we were seated between two large groups. My wife's steak was overcook! Overall, not very satisfied! Probably will be the last time we visit Ryans.

    Excellent service, amazing food, quite and classy setting. Beside the food, service etc., I typically look for a place where I feel I am dining at a classy place, among people with respect and appreciation for good company. You feel al of that at this place. PS: the server / waitress who helped was simply among the best I have came across. Really good.

    We made reservations for my husband’s birthday. We were seated promptly and our order was placed quickly. My Wagu steak was well undercooked for my desire, so the floor manager returned it to the kitchen. It came back out over-cooked. I have had much better food from Ryan’s. Despite this, the service was good. I just wished my steak was better.

    After so many years in business one might expect Ryan’s to be traditional and rather routine. However their service, attention to detail and creative menu continue to impress. Best oysters Rockefeller I’ve ever tasted, terrific prime rib, great wine selection and well trained staff. A must in WS!

    As always, the taste/quality of the food and the service were outstanding. I was disappointed when I discovered that the dress code permits shorts. In my opinion, a meal at Ryan's should be business casual at a minimum and the dress code should be enforced. I would not consider shorts and flip flops as meeting this standard. The number of men wearing sportscoats either with or without a tie appeared to be the exception rather than the rule.

    We had the earliest reservation time, so the atmosphere was very relaxing and pleasant, becoming more lively as the evening progressed. Our waiter, Perry, was top notch - attentive, had great recommendations, and seemed to appreciate my mother's playful banter. It's definitely pricey, but delicious and a great place to celebrate special occasions. If you have minor mobility issues, make sure you ask for a table at the top, or one "tier" down. However, the view on the lowest tier has the nicest views by the windows.

    Perfect dinner out for 2 hungry college freshmen! We were late for our reservation on a busy Friday night and they moved tables around to accommodate us. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the pan-seared scallops were amazing! Super close to Wake Forest, and we will be back each time we visit Wake.

    The food was great. Our server was awesome. The only thing was the rules. I understand the dress code when it comes to clothes, but there are people who have hair issues and don’t feel comfortable taking off their hats. If it’s alopecia, or else. Yet, this place makes you do that. I don’t understand this cult-like rule. It’s not a church or any other place of God to require that. Must be reconsidered.
