About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • 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.

    Very loud could not hear the waitress . The value of the meal is not there if I'm paying for a 52 dollar steak one side should be included. The way the waitress took the order was strange I have to hold on to my menu while I had my appetizer because she didn't take out main meal order I did appreciate that she had the bartender make a drink they no longer offered for me and for the dessert she compt us for our birthday celebration The menu changed was not happy about that I also have celiacs and I was told by the waitress I should have told them of my allergies when I made my reservation I never have to do this at other restaurants

    This was our 4th time at Rails and we have never been disappointed. Our server Laura was polite, cheeerful and helpful. We had the calamari and shrimp appetizers and they were excellent. The red Sangria was just as if it came from a Spanish restaurant. I had the petite filet mignon and my wife had the marinated skirt steak and both were cooked as ordered. We shared the Gouda bacon Mac and cheese and it was delicious. We shared chocolate gelato and it was on the house since it was my wife’s birthday. Highly recommend Rails especially for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
    Rails SteakhouseResponded today
    Hi Gary, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your fourth visit to Rails was just as memorable as the previous ones. It’s fantastic to know that Laura took great care of you and that you enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the steak and sides. We’re especially happy to have been a part of your wife’s birthday celebration, and we appreciate your kind recommendation for special occasions. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more memorable moments! Have a great weekend!

    Very disappointed as a frequent visitor I took my wife for Easter dinner The restaurant was past the rush hour so it was occupied but not crowded Service was pleasant but very slow Asked for a second bottle of sparkling water and it took 10 minutes Food was surprisingly bland lacking its typical taste and flavor Again it’s a first time disappointment but none the less a disappointment
