Absolutely the best steak, service, ambiance and two birthday guests! Felt so indulged! Yes, it's pricey but I took Hal home and had two more meals so actually a great deal after all! My family from California wants to go again on their next visit!!!!
Great spot for happy hour! On a whim, I decided to swing by on a late Sunday afternoon. The bartenders were super sweet and attentive, the ambience was quiet and quaint (perfect for a date night). I ordered a lemon drop (boy they didn't skimp on the vodka!) and the steak slider and bar burger. Everything was delicious!
On the corner of Okeechobee Blvd and Palm Beach lakes: I went for the first time at5-30 on a Wednesday to see if I could sample the place and it's 4-6? Happy hour. Arrived and two people in reception area on phones taking reservations ( and avoiding eye contact) or acknowledging we were there seeking guidance. Brief exchange on trying to go to the bar with the " it's busy but look for yourself". Clearly very busy and apparently all seats and booths full. So now we are here let's eat in the restaurant. Hosts said they would show us a table. "Server be along in a moment" and left. No offer of water or anything else. At this point things start to look up. Enthusiastic server came asked us if we wanted water( no as it happens). Went through display of meats on stray and told us this was the oldest steak restaurant in Florida. Which heard the all to loud other editors say exactly the same spiel which dilutes the personal feel. Food first class Aged steak perfectly cooked and soft and full of flavor. Ceased salad one of the best. Baked potato the best ever. Black and crisp exterior and slightly brown innerds with superb potato flavor. I had crusted Gorgonzola which was beautiful. Wife had au poivre jus which was also just right. Lots of choices of wine by glass and half bottle. A bit pricey but what would you expect from this upmarket "family run oldest steakhouse in Florida " In hot bright West Palm quite a shock to go indoors to this relatively dark,very clean and old style layout. Looked like it was completely remodeled in 1980 and never been used. Which it certainly is as the seats were filling up quite quickly by 6-30. Lots of parking and apparently a meat shop where you could buy the meat and try your hand a creating something as good as you get here for less than the. $100-200 per plate. That all said food and location as good as it gets. Top notch if a little familiar staff who do a good job but not as good as the ones I have experienced in Chicago , New York and Montreal. It is Florida after all and I suspect the prices are lower here than comparable steakhouses in the USA. Oh for Argentina! Apparently they offer a free meal on your birthday! Probabably not wait that long but need to work on getting a happy hour meal by getting here at 4 and before the greeting staff have started taking reservations and have time to speak to you
I usually go to the little market or the BBQ that is on the weekends. I went in last night to pick up the Delmonico (boneless Ribeye) served with garlic mashed potatoes and the roasted carrots (without the 'hot' spices). Ma enjoyed the Ribeye and the mashed potatoes were devoured. So I'm thinking that is a good sign. My Crabcake was so good I didn't have time to take a picture and the Gorgonzola Salad was delicious as well. The bar was full and so was the Valet parking. There is more parking directly behind the building. Service was friendly on the phone call to place my order, which they do not accept and you aren't able to order online either. You'll need to come in person to order take-out. This reminds me of one of the old timey steakhouses with the dark decor and booths. Maybe some day I will be able to come in and sit down for a meal.

I dined at Okeechobee Steak House with a gentleman friend recently, and we enjoyed a fabulous dining experience from end to end! Arriving right before our reservation time, we were warmly greeted and seated at one of the half-moon booths in their 2nd dining room. To begin with, kudos for atmosphere - the overall look and feel of the venue is like that of an old-world steakhouse, but with some very nice modern touches :-) Service was attentive and friendly, without in any way being overbearing. Our server gave us some spot-on recommendations, and we ended up enjoying an outstanding bottle of red wine that complimented our steaks perfectly. My friend had been craving a ribeye done Pittsburgh style, and I'd never had one cooked in that fashion, so I decided to jump in with both feet and we both othered the same entree. When the steaks arrived they were seasoned to perfection very flavorful, and so huge that we could easily have ordered just one to share ;-) The steaks each included both a salad and a baked potato - a great value and a delicious meal! We had so much food that even though we both ate like Marathoners, we had enough food left over to take home and enjoy steaks for breakfast. Oh, and did I mention that the mushroom sides were out-of-this-world? If you're the kind of person that enjoys a fabulous steak dinner, then I heartily recommend that you come here for dinner!
Had a wonderful experience at the Okeechobee Steak House! Came for my boyfriend's birthday, on birthdays you get a free 8oz NY strip with a choice of potato (with the purchase of another entree and proof of ID). Our waiter was great, very attentive and made our experience even more lovely. We both started with salads and bread. The bread was good and salads were also tasty. The steak was so tender and cooked to perfection. I was so impressed with the flavor and cut of the steak. For dessert we had a slice of the oreo cheesecake which was great!! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
We have come here since I was a kid. We have not been in years due to the fact that they took prime Rib off the menu. They had it on for an Easter special. Our waiter told us it would be just as we remembered it- unfortunately it was NOTHING similar. We were very disappointed with the prime rib. Our waiter was great but everything took forever - I'm assuming this was the kitchens fault? There were only two of us and we both ordered prime rib which was already cooked. We got French onion soup as our app and our waiter split it for us - which was great! Not sure we will return if I'm being honest.
Okeechobee Steak House is one of my husband and I's favorite places for a birthday or special occasion. It never lets us down! So, of course, we came on Friday for my husband's 41st birthday and upon checking in a little bit early, they said they would text us when the table was ready so we headed to the bar to get a cocktail as we waited. My husband order an old fashioned and I got the Bumble Bee (I believe, it was a gin cocktail) - both very good! After 10-15 minutes, we got the text that our table was ready! At the host's stand, they handed us a birthday envelope as they took us to our table. Our server came over right away and was great throughout! We never had empty glasses :) Drinks - For the table, we ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico Riserva, and it was really good. Paired perfectly with everything we ordered! Food - We started off with french onion soups. This is a MUST if you love onion soup. INCREDIBLE. Then, we both upgraded our salads to caesar salads, one with anchovies and one without (mine). My husband ordered the bone-in ribeye, with a portobello demi-glace and a horseradish crust (on the side), and a loaded baked potato. I ordered the filet mignon with the gorgonzola crust and a loaded baked potato. Everything came out perfectly and tasted heavenly! Dessert - We order the bread pudding to go... there was no way we could eat anymore! We enjoyed it at home later that evening and it was great!! We always recommend Okeechobee Steak House and every experience we have there continues to add to how much we enjoy this restaurant.
My wife and I are a sucker for a great steakhouse, and Okeechobee is certainly that. The only reason why the steak house is getting four stars is that while we were waiting for our table to become ready (as we were early), no bartender ever came to where we stood at the bar to ask if we wanted anything to drink in the 10 minutes we were there. And my points for the steakhouse were never added from the meal once we were seated and had our food. Outside of that, our experience was good. Our server was great and made sure we had what we needed. She was spot on with our service (and I made sure she had a good tip). We had a booth in the brick-covered bar area where I enjoyed cocktails such as the Little Piggy which was their take on a smoky old fashioned. With Whistle Pig Piggyback Bourbon and maple syrup, along with bitters and... (wait for it)... smoke, it was a good starter cocktail. The bread was delicious with the creamy butter, the colossal shrimp cocktail was class, and the Tomahawk steak was so succulent and savory. I enjoyed every bite of the steak, although, we still took the bone home for the dog and leftover steak for breakfast omelets. For a finisher (or more like finishers), I had neat pours of the Old Fitzgerald 10 Year and the Parker's release. So while the beginning was a little slow, the evening progressed wonderfully. I would go back to enjoy more tomahawk or the dry-aged cut of ribeye. And some more cocktails and bread.
