We had a party of four out for dinner to celebrate our October events two anniversaries and two birthdays. The Bartender Kelly was very quick getting drink orders. Our server Lexie was very knowledgeable and friendly she explained how our meal would work and walked us through the process. We went to the meat case and selected our cut of beef. Lexie explained all the options. I selected a New York Strip and asparagus spears. Others choose filets and mushrooms in a 8 inch cast skillet. The texas toast is tasty from the grill. The signature salad was delicious and you can have more than one. You grill your own meat, toast and baked tators are in a roaster. The baked beans are very good side. Lexie stopped by the table and checked drinks and made suggestions to help make our evening special. We all ordered a desert to compete our meal. Get a reservation weekends a busy here. I suggest going on Thursday to optimize your meal experience. Thank you Lexie, Kelly and Rube's Steakhouse Staff we had a memorable time.

Food was outstanding, as was the service. Only issue that we had was the smokiness of the dining areas, which was absolutely understandable, considering that you are grilling your own steaks right there. Cost-wise, this is not really something that we would do frequently. Almost $100 for the two of us. The least costly steak is $35. This does include salad, potatoes and bread. But, well worth the cost; just not weekly. We will be back.

Great time! Good cuts of meat to grill yourself. I was expecting a gas grill but there was a full bed of charcoal under the grates which is far better than gas (in my opinion). Sides were great salad was good and top notch service. Great bourbon and whiskey selection. We will be back!

Rubes is an exceptional dining experience for those who appreciate the art of cooking their own meal. I recently visited and was thoroughly impressed. The concept of ordering raw cuts and preparing them at your table is both fun and delicious. The quality of the meat is top-notch, ensuring a fantastic result no matter how you like your steak. The staff is knowledgeable and provides excellent guidance throughout the process. If you're a steak lover, Rubes is a must-visit destination for a memorable meal.

Service was great! Steak was great! I would have preferred a salad bar instead of just a salad though.

One of the best, most enjoyable restaurants I have ever been to. At this point, I've been in Iowa for 12 years and am incredibly sad I didn't hear about this place sooner. The meat selection was great, you pick out your own steak. Choose your fixings, the wine selection was great. Atmosphere was cozy and romantic, the place smelled good, and service was excellent.

What a cool place. You pick your own cut of steak. Then they take you to the grill. Where you cook your own steak. Heat your sides up on the grill. It's a little pricey bit the food is good. You can make reservations or just walk in. Our server Lexi she was amazing. Thanks Rube's for a cool steakhouse experience.
