Cuisine: American, Steak
Restaurant Features: Cafe Style, On-Site Parking
Location: St Paul (east side)
Address: 1676 White Bear Ave N St Paul, MN 55106
Atmosphere: Very basic. The menu is displayed on the wall near the front door and then you get in a line and tell the cook what you want and he will cook your steak to order. Quickly make your salad from the salad bar and then get drinks/pay at the end of the counter. Food is brought to the table when it is ready. Both booths and tables are offered, as well as a second dining room in the back of the restaurant for larger parties.
Menu: 14 oz Sirloin, fillet, New York Strip, fried shrimp, grilled chicken breast and gyro sandwiches. All steaks come with baked potato, piece of Texas Toast and side salad. May substitute potato for french fries. Slices of pie available for dessert.
Price guide: $8-15
What I ordered: The daily special was a 6oz sirloin for $6.95. All this for that price was a pretty great deal! I had ordered my steak medium, but it was so thin it was closer to well-done (although tender). It didn't have many (if any?) seasonings and tasted like the grill. I feel like I can't complain too much because it was still a lot for the money.
My companion ordered the 14oz bone-in Sirloin. Very tender and lean. Again, lacking on the seasonings.
Service: Basic counter service. Not overly friendly.
Overall Impression: Fast and cheap.
I am a total closet Best Steak House lover! I even ate there two days in a row when I was pregnant. I don’t know what it is about this place that keeps me coming back…can it really be those gray steaks?
I hear you Deidre, there’s just something about this place that I like too. I have friends and relatives who have been to dozens and dozens of great steak places, but they all still go to Best Steak house at least a few couple times a year, as do I.
If you’re ever in Farmington, check out the Farmington Steak House.
Same setup, but it is owned and operated by one family(whom live upstairs from the place), the meat is all hand picked and purchased through local farmers.
Nice (large) tender steak platter with steak fries, salad, pie, texas toast, and a soda for under $10 total!
The steak burger on texas toast meal is something like $2.50!
Check it out.

Oh yeah, they are Greek, so gyros is on the menu as well.
Thanks for the info. It is hard to get objective info on steaks. Thanks
The meat still looks raw. The food doesn’t entice my appetite.
I’ve been going there for over twenty years. Very reasonable prices, good food and I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of there without them yelling out “Thank you” as I was walking out the door.
I love this place. I have been going there all my life. It is the spot where I can feed a family of 7 a great meal with out crying at the price. I love the owners they are friendly with me I have never had any problems. Eat at the White Bear Avenue location 1X per week!
