Reviews for 1836 Steakhouse in Huntsville, TX
Good beer & wine selection. Mix of local and national leaders. The Chicken fried steak was more cracklin than steak. The... lemon blackberry cheese cake cups were delicious and easy to share. Great service and ambiance. The bathrooms smelled nice. Happy birthday Blake. Read more
Do you want some excellent fine dining experience and are not rushed for time and not worried about the expense? Then you truly... need to make reservations at this restaurant! The food is excellent from start to finish! Both times we have come here theservice has been prompt, the waiters helpful, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is wonderful as well. Truly a greatrestaurant. We had the rack of lamb and dessert - a must have for me! Read more
Just Ok. So, not worth the price in my opinion. For the price and online build-up as a fine dining experience, I expected a... bit more. Yes, there were some highlights, and some low-lights, in the end resulting in a mediocre experience. First, thepositives. Service friendliness and attentiveness was good. The soups and salads were good, in fact, the wedge salad wasexcellent. The side of steamed vegetables was cooked perfectly. Now, the “just ok” items. The chicken fried steak wasaverage. The second basket of rolls (more about the first basket later) was ok, too. Two of the three sirloin steaks were ofaverage quality, but not as tender or flavorful as similar (and a lot less expensive) sirloin steaks at Texas Road House. Theside of steak fries was warm, but nothing special. And, the three layer chocolate cake, while it was clearly of thestore-bought variety, was decent. Finally, to the areas for improvement. The first set of rolls, which were touted as”rightout of the oven,” were lukewarm and burnt on the bottom. The server did bring out a second set later on. My steak, orderedau poivre, did not come au poivre. I alerted the server, who brought out a dish of peppercorns and a separate dish of creamsauce for me to make the au poivre myself. However, I’m glad I did have the au poivre, because without it, my steak wouldhave been inedible. It was so tough and filled with gristles that I had to cut it into tiny pieces and drown it in the sauce toeat it. For the server, who was very friendly and attentive, there were a few mistakes that I’m sure will be sharpened withexperience. For example, he never took our drink order. He hastily filled our water glasses at the beginning, but didn’toffer any other drinks. The second basket of rolls was returned with our original half-consumed dish of whipped butter - sinceit was taken back to the kitchen for the refill of rolls, the butter dish should have been refilled and returned full.

Although my first experience was 3-Star, I'm giving it a 4 because I think I ordered the wrong thing. My friend & I shared 2... appetizers: goat cheese and fried green tomatoes. So delicious but not fan of the honey balsamic dip for goat cheese. The dipcouldn't be tasted with the powerful rosemary in cheese. Tomatoes were perfect! We ordered a pitcher of white Sangria and itis light & refreshing. Here's where it went wrong - the Sunday prime rib. Although the heartiest piece of prime rib I've everhad, it also was the most flavorless. No crusting or flavor (thank God for creamy horseradish). It was also too undercooked forme. I did, however, take it home, doctor it up, pan seared it in cast iron skillet and salvaged it for dinner next day. Ourserver was attentive too. I would go back but I'd only do appetizers & drinks, maybe try a seafood dish. Read more
Came back in 2022 to see if it was still as excellent as the other couple times we visited. I think it's even better than our... previous visits. We absolutely love this place. It's our go-to for special occasions. The atmosphere, the staff, and, mostimportantly, the food, are all phenomenal. Read more
Appetizer was ok... they definitely put lettuce in the cup so they don't have to fill up the cocktailsauce and be cheap, dinner... was great, desert and drink were pretty bad. Unfortunately desert tasted like chemicals. I ended up leaving it. Didn't drink mydrink. The poor woman who was seating people was doing her best but customers were quite rude. She was extremely sweet. Read more
Truly an incredible experience. I came here based on some recommendations from a few friends of mine and it’s safe to say I... will definitely be back with my wife and family. Quite the unique experience for starters. Was asked if I wanted to sit upstairsor on the regular dining area and as it seemed the regular area would get me seated faster I went with that. Sat by a windowwith a nice view, and from there I ordered the New York Strip with mashed potatoes along with a Caesar Salad. Gilbert was myserver and he truly was helpful even with the few hiccups we encountered. Didn’t have change for a $100 dollar bill later inthe evening and the steak I had was slightly undercooked but he helped correct all those small anomalies, and I had a trulypleasurable experience. Definitely recommend this spot for the food and experience. Nothing else like it I’ve been to in mylife and will be back soon. Read more
We have made a Fathers day tradition of visiting. We love this place. This time we got to sit in the second floor and it was a... real treat where as you could see the original parts of the building making it all that much more charming. I cannot say enoughgood things about the food and the vibe of this place Read more
