RB's Steakhouse — Restaurant in California

Let's start with the service. My girlfriend and her father and I walked in at 6:40 pm. We had to find our own way to the dining room (entered through the bar) and ended up having to figure out the waiting/line situation - there was no hostess, no check in process, nothing. Multiple employees passed multiple times, without saying a word to the people waiting - over 15 people in the cramped waiting area.

At about 6:50 pm, a table of 12 was called from the waiting area. Another thirty minutes and a dozen employees passed by and finally an employee stopped to ask the party in front of us how many people they were. 7:30 pm rolls around and the party of four ahead of us gets seated.

A couple came in behind us and seemed to know the employees - he and his gf were greeted by various employees and were told they could be seated in about 5 mins. At that point, a worker finally stopped to talk to me and ask how many in my party. We were told about a 15-20 min wait.

7:40 pm and the part of two BEHIND us gets seated (at a table which could accommodate 4).

Finally, at 8 pm we got seated, nearly an hour and a half after entering the establishment.

9 pm hit and we finally got our entrees. One sea bass entree, and two NYE surf & turf specials (12 oz ribeye and 6 oz lobster tail. The sea bass was decent and the mango salsa was the star of the dish. The mac & cheese side and the lobster tails were probably the best parts of the meal. One ribeye was rare and the other was medium....both were requested to be medium rare. The steaks had decent grill marks but were grey otherwise.

I would say the food is decent and steaks are maybe a step above a Sizzler.

The ONLY reason this restaurant is getting 1 star is because the food was decent. If not for that, I would've given 0 stars.

We definitely won't be visiting...

Don't host your wedding after party here! We just had our wedding in Lake Arrowhead and it was an absolute dream all the way up to our "after party".

Ricky was a nice enough guy when trying to help host the after party but every time we would talk, the details of the party would change. He initially promised there would be karaoke and the kitchen would be open BUT over the next couple weeks he would keep asking me about karaoke numerous times (every time I said yes) and then after offering it as part of the deal initially, he asked me to split it with him. THEN when we arrive after our wedding, our guest all let us know that the KITCHEN IS CLOSED and there is NO KARAOKE. With no kitchen or karaoke we are stuck in a simple bar with nothing to do. We could have just stayed at home. He then offered a tiny discount and expected us to meet his high minimum even though we didn't want to stick around long because our houses would be a better spot than this. I don't usually write reviews but honestly I feel a bit scammed so I wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with this after...

my experience at RB’s steakhouse was not good. Firstly, I arrived at the restaurant on Sunday and we waited for someone to come and direct us to our table. It took a while but we sat down and the table was extremely dirty, clearly showing that it had not been cleaned to serve us. We waited even longer for someone to come because it was the weekend, the same girl who would be the “host”, was the waitress and the person who made the drinks… they need to have more people working for better service, right? Anyway, we ordered fish & chips and the flavor was good, but the fish was very greasy. for the main course, I ordered a steak fettuccine and the score from 0 to 10 would be a 4… the meat was just right and tender, but with little seasoning. The pasta only saved it because it was at the right point too, but the sauce was really bad, without any seasoning, without salt, I didn't like it. My guest and I each ordered a soda and when it ran out, they didn't even bother to come to the table to get a refill. Bad service too. very...
