Best Steakhouses in Ballwin

Went for my husbands birthday, customer service from the manager, receptionist, waiter and all. Everyone made our night even much better! Food was amazing! Love the house salad option, steak and all!!! They were even nice to bring my husbands gift to the table with a slice of their amazing cake to surprise him!

If you’re looking for impeccable service paired with an unforgettable dining experience, Nate at 801 Chophouse is the person you need. Our recent visit was elevated to a whole new level of excellence thanks to his professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth. We booked the private room to enjoy a night of fine dining while watching WWE—an unconventional pairing that could have been challenging for most servers, but not for Nate. He seamlessly balanced the sophistication of the restaurant with the casual excitement of our group, ensuring every aspect of the experience was flawless. From the moment we sat down, Nate set the tone with his extensive knowledge of the menu and wine list. His recommendation of the Delmonico steak was spot-on—perfectly cooked, rich, and incredibly flavorful. It was the star of the meal. And when it came to the wine, Nate’s pairing suggestions elevated the steak even further, showing his expertise and keen understanding of how to enhance every bite. Nate’s timing was impeccable—our drinks were refilled before we even had to ask, courses arrived without a hitch, and he maintained a perfect balance of attentiveness and discretion, allowing us to fully enjoy both the meal and the entertainment. It’s rare to find a server who not only meets but exceeds every expectation, creating a dining experience you’ll want to relive. Nate is that rare find, and 801 Chophouse is lucky to have him. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to a night of luxury, make sure you ask for Nate. And don’t miss out on the Delmonico steak—it’s an absolute must!

Dom was our server, per our request and he was amazing. The perfect amount of personality and expertise as he took care of our every need. The food was delicious. The special touches the restaurant and Dom did made the birthday girl feel special. Our new favorite restaurant!!

Everything was amazing, except one thing. I ordered the Wagyu filet with lobster Mac. The filet was amazing, bursting with a strong salt and garlic flavor paired with the umami. The lobster Mac on the other hand was alright, some bites were amazing and flavorful while other bites were somewhat bland, like the seasonings weren’t cooked into the Mac and just added on top at the end. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

I believe they have the best ribeye in St. Louis.
