About this restaurant

Good for special occasions

Lively

Rails Steakhouse is a modern American steakhouse offering carefully selected USDA Prime and CAB corn-fed beef, dry-aged a minimum of 28 days on-premise & hand-cut daily. We offer modern and contemporary dishes, including sustainable fresh seafood, homemade desserts, and an award-winning wine list recognized by Wine Spectator.

Attention to detail can be seen in this beautiful 20,000 sq. ft., restaurant where sprawling timber meets natural stonewalls, accents of glass showcase fire-and-water features in this luxe lodge. While all levels feature the same menu, the main dining room has a more sophisticated ambiance and Rafters on the second floor has a more casual lodge appeal. Descend to the lower level to find the secret passage that takes you to the wine cave, and Thirty 3, a speakeasy-style bar and lounge. Dine al fresco on our outdoor terraces offering spectacular views of the Pyramid Mountains. Most importantly, we want you to feel at home where our hospitality is second to none.

Rails never disappoints! Service is consistently outstanding and the food is delicious! Hubby had a cowboy steak and I had the marinated skirt steak. We shared mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. Steaks were cooked to perfection! A truly wonderful meal!

The experience was great. The staff was also great, Zack treated us perfectly. The only issue was the temperature in the restaurant they could have turned the AC up a bit, very warm inside. Also a slight issue with my gift card, which I couldn't use.

Hi Tony, Thank you for the kind words and for recognizing Zack—he’ll be glad to know he made your experience special. We're happy to hear the service and overall visit were great, but we’re sorry for the discomfort caused by the temperature and the inconvenience with your gift card. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and will be addressing them with our team to ensure a smoother experience moving forward. We’d love to welcome you back again soon under more comfortable conditions.

The host was disinterested. Our waitress compensated for the lack of other staff. My medium rare ribeye came in medium to medium well in places and was overly salty in spots. For the prices you’re paying the service should be excellent, this wasn’t. That’s the critique. Nice spaces do not balance it out.
Rails SteakhouseResponded 5 days ago
Hi Joe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially when it comes to service and the preparation of your ribeye. We completely agree that at our price point, every aspect of the dining experience should reflect a high standard. We appreciate your comments and are addressing them internally with both our front-of-house and kitchen teams. Your insights help us improve, and we’d welcome the opportunity to make it right should you consider giving us another try.

Overpriced, mediocre food. We asked for a medium cooked steak, we got well done, soggy asparagus, bland lobster Mac and cheese and bland fish. We stopped going here for a while because of the food, and decided to give it a try again…never again. Go for the cocktails and the atmosphere, NOT the food. There are so many other steak houses in the area that hit it out of the park. Not Rails.
Rails SteakhouseResponded on June 23, 2025
Hi Lauren, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet expectations. We always strive to deliver high-quality food and service, and it's clear we missed the mark during your visit. We understand how frustrating it is to return hoping for improvement and still be disappointed. Your comments regarding the steak, sides, and overall food quality have been shared with our culinary team for immediate review. We appreciate your honesty and regret that we didn’t deliver the experience you deserved. Should you ever reconsider, we’d welcome the opportunity to make things right.
