Steak Pit Restaurant

We came here a few times. My husband just loves their ribs. To me, they are chewy and I like my ribs to be falling off the bone kind. So i had fish, which was good, kids had ribs and liked them too.
Service was different every time. Once our food arrived within 10 minutes and was great. Another time the waitress forgot to ask and delivered sauce on the side for our 6-​year old’s rib order and that was a disaster for her. The wait extended to more than half hour.
I’m rating based on the food, which is good. Yes, the place could use a renovation, plastic cups for sauces etc have to go. Dessert fridge looks 100 years old…

I have eaten here a few times. The food quality here is pretty good, lots of side dishes and delicious garlic bread to accompany your main course. Steaks are always cooked to order. The wait times are a bit longer than other steak places and they often have poor service due to short staffed shifts during dinner rush. The service here is friendly and they try to be nice but the main server that I always see (older moustached gentleman) can’t hide his impatience and is a bit condescending when you ask about menu items. He acts like he doesn’t have time to answer your questions or they are ridiculous which is really not a great way to make your patrons feel. Overall a good dining experience I would avoid the rush times and hope you get a friendly server.

My husband and his friends were craving steak so we decided to go to steak pit as they had previously came here a few weeks ago. Once we entered the owner (i’m guessing) immediately remembered my husband and his friends (2 others) he was super friendly, sat us down and took our order after awhile. Not only was he friendly but he actually remembered my husband and his friends order last time! and knew exactly how they wanted there steak done. You dont find service like this anymore so I was pretty impressed.
I, on the other hand, didnt order steak but ordered their ribs. This is not your usual BBQ ribs where the BBQ sauce is grilled on it so I was scared it was gonna be dry. but it actually amazed me! even tho i ordered the sauce on the side I didnt need it cuz it was sooo flavourful and the meat was so tender it shocked me. The sauce they offer on the side isnt bbq sauce it’s some mexican sauce that taste a little weird to me but it wasnt bad. But I prefered to eat it without it.
This isnt your fancy steak resturant so the price isnt too high compared to other steak resturant and the service is superb. The décor is a little on the old side but since the ribs were so good I DEF AM COMING BACK!

Service was excellent and the food was terrible. Ribs were very dry and had the gas/​propane type taste to it. My wife had a New York steak which was average. Very $$$$. Won’t be going back.

background: my friend and I are both Chinese, and we have not tried any stlyle of steak before. Mostly we go to Chinese, Japanese and Korean restaurant.
So, this is our first time went to a steak house. My friend and I both had the medium well Steak and Ribs. we shared a chocolate cake, and drink two green tea.
Forget all the background! Steaks are great, Ribs are great, and cake is great!
Great!

This was a tough 3 stars for me. The food was a solid 4 stars. The service was as well. So why only 3 overall? Well let’s rewind.
I booked a night at the Steak Pit for myself and 9 work colleagues. We arrived about 15 minutes late and luckily they had kept our reservation (the place was almost packed). Seating was cramped. They have a lot of tables in a very small space so while I was comfortable a couple of people in the group felt slightly claustrophobic.
We had a great server, unfortunately there was only 1 of her. So while she did her best, everything arrived 3 people at a time which mean that we had to wait at each course for everyone to receive their order.
I ordered the steak and ribs combo with the steak blue… you can tell a lot about the quality of a place by eating their steak almost-​raw… the steak was 5 stars worthy and the ribs were 3… I’ve read reviews that classed them higher but I found them to be just ok; not saucy enough and a little bit too undercooked (tough).
Regardless we had a very nice night and the price was quite reasonable for the group. I’ll have to go again an see about updating this review as I wish I could have rated the place as 4 stars… let’s call it 3.5 stars for now.
But it’s good enough that I will return, no question.

Hands down the BEST RIBS in Toronto. Never get the steak here. Order Mexican ribs and you will never EVER order anything else on this menu.

I came here with my family and the food was amazing! My steak was made to perfection and it was scrumptious. Everyone who had steak was very satisfied with their meal. My sister had ribs and she wasn’t too impressed. I would have to say, if you love steak and want a great meal at a restaurant that feels like home, you should definitely come to the Steak Pit.
The desserts were amazing as well. We all shared the Peliano and Cookies & Milk cheesecakes. They were to die for! Everyone preferred the Peliano. This was definitely the best meal I have had at a restaurant in a long time!
The Steak Pit is a delicious hidden gem in the heart of north york. If you want a great steak, you should definitely try it out!

a staple for special celebration dinners for my family for more than 40 years.
Old school fancy — linen table cloths, burnished brick walls, lemon finger bowls, uniformed wait staff.
Forget the menu. You only need to know about the mexican style rack of ribs with choice of potato and the chocolate cream pie.
Come early if it’s a weekend, and tuck yourself in for a little piece of yesteryear.
A place like this makes you wonder what ever happened to the 3 martini lunch.
