Gary BarrettDecember 10, 2016The food is excellent! The prices are super reasonable and they even give you a second round of steak for free. I definitely recommend this place. Be prepared for the fixed price set menu. 😁

Behrad EatsMarch 23, 2014Bottomless bloody marys, screwdrivers & mimosas for brunch? Yes, please! To eat get Medium Rare's Famous Benedict: sliced steak, portobello, mushroom, "the perfect poached egg", topped w/ hollondaise.
AmroDecember 4, 2016The steak is one of the best ( if not the best) steak I've ever had in my life. The service was top notch and friendly. I highly recommend the secret sauce 😋
Lindsay PinsayAugust 5, 2013The steak,salad & frites or as us Americans like to call it "Fries" are by far the best in the city! I love this place it is a great spot for a group of friends to meet and have a easy dinner!
Everything is so good. One of my go to’s for date night, birthdays, and visiting family. It feels a little fancy since it’s a nice steak dinner but won’t break the bank
Such a great place and affordable.....plus it's in Cleveland Park.....have drink nearby and enjoy a great night
Brunch is very popular for a good reason. The food is excellent!!! Make a reservation to ensure a table.
Sadie NoahMay 20, 2013Loved the Concept! Dinner and Dessert were excellent. Pepe Le Pew speaking french in the bathroom was hillarious. I will definitely visit again and recommend. You must enjoy a noisy atmosphere.
Tammy GordonFebruary 12, 2012The French Toast at brunch is made with the same amazing bread they serve at dinner. It's got a great outside crunchiness with doughy soft inside!
Dennis BaileyMay 14, 2016Great steak, fries, for$20. And just when you think you're done, they bring the second helping. You have to ask for ketchup though.
Nicolas DurandSeptember 7, 2018We love this place and go there quite often. Their sauce is simply delicious,but leave some room for desserts!
I would recommend a bottle of Malbec, specifically the "Simona Moenaert Estate" from Argentina. If you're not in the mood for wine, I would then suggest the Avery IPA, one of my personal favorites.
Lindsay D.February 18, 2015Bottomless Sunday brunch for $25, need I say more? The steak and eggs is wonderful! Be sure to make a reservation, this is a very popular place!- S SAugust 30, 2013There was only a prix fixe menu for the entire place. The only choice you get is for drinks and the temperature of your steak. One free refill on the steak and fries.
Nasir....May 1, 2016It's an average stake, ain't that's perfect. However, it tastes good. It's about full corse:start with bread and butter than salad followed by the stake and fries.The stake's sauce is the good thing.
Neil SAugust 7, 2014Everyone knows it for the steak, but the secret sauce is my favorite part. And the brunch is excellent -- but reservations are recommended.
Stina P.August 15, 2016pre-fix menu is a great deal and includes steak with bearnaise sauce, fries, salad, and dessert for $20- One of the best places in Cleveland Park. It's simple steak frites. The service is great and the food us excellent.....Bravo
Rachel SohnMarch 9, 2014Brunch is $23: bottomless mimosa/bloody mary/screwdriver with appetizer and entree. Portion of the entree is quite small.
- Rachel WebbSeptember 20, 2014Fantastic location for Sunday brunch. If you have more than 2 you should reserve a table because it gets crowded.
Christy LewisNovember 9, 2011Delicious. Excellent place to take date. Haven't been here for brunch but heard there are bottomless mimosas. Here's a link to the menu: http://www.mediumrarerestaurant.com/
Janneke BoekhorstAugust 10, 2023Delicious steak and fries. Nice to get a "second round" of steak and fries. Nice concept!
Lauren VargaJanuary 12, 2014The never ending steak is your dream come true. The steak sauce is fantastic with the fries - ask for it on the side!
Brandon WaltonAugust 5, 2013It was delicious. We got the prix fixe menu and it more than enough. Definitely recommend this place
Ian BarryNovember 17, 2013Excellent. Pick your drinks and enjoy the food. Only one dish on the menu, and it's great.
Connie HaroSeptember 6, 2015Great, moderately priced brunch. If you're alone, eat at the bar and make friends with the bartenders.
Rachel StagnerDecember 29, 2018Bottomless mimosas, bloodies, and screwdrivers at their prix fixes brunch. Amazing.
Honestly, for $20, you won't find a better tasting steak, fries, salad and bread in DC
Dustin HaleyDecember 15, 2014Steak and fries... Pretty simple. Steals are cut thin, so if you order closer to the well side normally I'd go a bit more medium/rare.
Get here, come here often! The steak is better than sex, no kidding! Trust me on this one!
markMarch 1, 2013A) there's a secret vegetation option B) ask for the "spiked" hot fudge sundae for dessert .... That is all ;)
Brett MelilloFebruary 26, 2015There is only one thing on the menu. Steak. Fries. And salad. That's what you get. That's it. It's excellent though.
Katie RunyanFebruary 19, 2017Came for a Saturday brunch. While its certainly an inexpensive choice, the food wasn't anything to write home about & the drinks (mimosas in our case) were mostly orange juice.
- Susan BaileyJanuary 16, 2013Fantastic food- excellent service! 4 star bathroom- what more could you need?
- Behrad EatsJune 15, 2012Grandma's apple pie with vanilla ice cream is a good way to end a great dinner!
Nick FerraraJune 15, 2013I recommend ordering the steak...medium rare. Also make sure to order the side salad and bread
This is quite possibly one of the best places in DC to go on a date. Great food at a reasonable price!
Sean G.February 16, 2014Be sure to make a reservation, and still expect to wait at least 30min to get seated 😕- For a fixed price of $19.50, their award-winning culotte steak & hand-cut fries with secret sauce is absolutely delicious.
- I love this place. Great steak, yummy fries, delicious gravy. Can't go wrong.
P BJanuary 12, 2013To quote my dining partner, "we've eaten way worse for way more!" Tasty steaks, reasonable prices.
