Fred & Steve's Steakhouse

"The food was really amazing. I had the filet mignon 7oz. The mashed potatoes were to die for….and clam chowder was excellent. First time here and it was really a great dining experience. And to top it off, Fred Smerlas himself walked into the dining room as we were finishing up dinner and he was so darn gracious and came and chatted with us for a good 20 minutes."

"Diner beware! We were told about the specials by the waiter. They don't tell you the prices. I take some responsibility for not asking but as people who go there 3 times a year we are familiar with the prices. A prime rib is usually $55. They added 3 shrimp(large, not jumbo as told) scampi, mashed potatoes and spinach and charged $160. The whole lobster with 2 stuffed shrimp (no sides)was $150. Never have we felt so taken advantage of. Both the server and the manager told us that they’ve been told to only tell the prices if the customer asks. The manager did what she could to make up for it with a gift card but it was equal to under 20% discount. Watch out for this place, its a total scam"

"This location is located on the second floor inside the Bally's casino in Lincolne, RI. The inside is a dark stained wood. Fred & Steve's is decorated tastefully with sports memorabilia from when Smerlas and DeOssie played (DeOssie's son, Zachary has items too)...Reservations on a Saturday seem to be a must. We tried for 8:30 at 7:30 and were given 8:45 by the hostess. My party of three was not seated until 9:00. Our server, David was really really great. We did not do apps having eating them at another eatry close by. We started with drinks. I had an unsweetened ice-t which David kept full the whole time we were there. My friend had a rum drink with some type of dry ice effect. His girlfriend had a lemonade that she said was very sweet. There were a great number of specials. David brought over some very crusty bread with a three well dish of: a pesto oil drizzle, whipped butter, and a red-orange dip. David allowed us quite a bit of time to review the menu. We were able to talk without any problem. There is a function room where a large party was occurring. When it came time to order, I opted for the lamb. As did my friend. We both made sounds of approval followed by the soooo gooood. The lamb came served with sweet potato mash and spinach. The rasberry demi glaze on the lamb was fantastic. Sides were very well seasoned. I had my lamb prepared rare...it came out medium rare...did not distract at all. The lobster bisque was prepared table side. Maine steamers served with drawn butter. A highlight besides the lamb was Fred, the owner came to the table to chat. Very down to earth guy who was very humorous. Dessert was the house signature. It was fruit bomba?...it was like a deconstructed cannoli. This was a great experience. Oh I saw someone order a tomahawk. What a feat of strength that must be. It looked really delicious."

"We dine here relatively frequently. We took some family that was visiting from Florida as a treat. Everyone seemed satisfied. Our wait staff was phenomenal and the atmosphere is always great but I ordered the Surf and Turf and was left disappointed with the stuffed shrimp that are part of the meal. For the record, this is the first time I have not been completely satisfied and then some."
