Strikers Steakhouse — Restaurant in Lawrenceburg

I haven't had bad food here ever, but the experience last has me never booking a party there ever again. Our company does a Christmas party every year. For the last 2 yrs we have used Strikers. Last year was good, we got to eat in the back room but had to share it with other patrons, which was ok, but we wanted the whole room to ourselves. So, this year we thought ahead, waaay ahead and I booked the room for $50 from 5-8...on a Saturday night. At 330 the afternoon of the event, I get a phone call...they cannot let us have that room for 3 hrs on a Saturday night...😳 I said, and you are just now calling to inform me of this??? I paid a deposit, she said oh, you paid a deposit, let me call you back. She called back with the solution of 5-630, we get the room all to ourselves for our games and dirty Santa. Then at 630 they can start seating people in there. I said ok, I'll compromise. So when I get there, the manager, I'm assuming, says IF y'all get through before 630 will you let me know? I said yes absolutely. Well, everyone gets there and our waitress Haley was wonderful. However, during the allotted time for our games this manager, kept coming in "checking" to see where we were in our fun time. Like 5 times in 1 hr. At 6:03, she came in again and asked Haley something. Then Haley asked us if we were about through, we were, so we agreed to move our stuff and let them start seating. There were a few other things I could note but trivial, oh and let me say, their way of saying I'm sorry for messing up your evening and making it super stressful, was 2 free appetizers. Something at least, but we won't be bothering you again for our company Christmas parties. If you make a promise you don't break it, and thats what taking my money and booking that room was. Im assuming management has shifted from what I gathered. Not impressed with her, but guys the food and drinks...

Father's Day. It was my first time here. Party of 9. We were first in line but they opened another door first so we ended up being about 4th. The opening crowd packed the restaurant FYI there were that many guests. The welcome party at the door was great! Seemed like an all hands on deck moment. They had to put tables together that took ten or so minutes. This pushed us farther back in the queue. The waitress Hally was fantastic prompt and professional. Drinks right away, appetizers on the table in a great time, entrees ordered, and all seems great. Rooms are decorated lovely with hardwood furniture, TV's, and memorabilia around. Then the bawg down. It took almost an hour from ordering until the plates were on the table. That might be par with as many guests as they had because every seat was full, so take that into account. We got there at 1030 to be first at 11 we got plates at 1220ish so you decide. I ordered a blackened salmon caesar with no croutons and this is what my plate looked like. Others at my table said their hamburger steak was burnt on the tops and the sliders one said it doesn't look good, and had a hard dark brown ball she had to ask what it was (cheese ball) she cut it in half and that's as far as that went. All in all if for $350 the food was not good at all. Literally the bread and lemonade was the best part of my meal. The menu has great items but execution lacked significantly. Fancy restaurant with no prices on the steak menu but short order...

We came here because my grandma wanted to eat here for her birthday. We had a party of 8. Our server was great, BUT:

I ordered a Caesar salad and it never came. Everyone else got their food. My server explained they ran out of LETTUCE but said they were “going to the store for more so it should be ready soon”. 20 minutes later they bring me a grilled piece of lettuce and chicken breast, I kid you not! GRILLED LETTUCE. Who the hell would actually believe this is acceptable? I said this isn’t what I ordered, I absolutely do not want this. I sent it back and had decided I’ll just get something on the way home. They finally bring out the salad when my table was ready to leave. They did not charge us for the grilled lettuce dish, but they did charge me for my meal—a salad—which takes minutes to prepare, and I waited about 2 hours for. I was unaware they were “out of lettuce” until my whole table had received their meals. No manager came by to apologize. My server was great, no hate to her at all.

They also do not have a drink limit. Most family establishments (ie not an outright bar) will cap a customer on their alcoholic beverages. They don’t do that here. We had a lovely guest in our party (whom I had never met before this evening) had around 5 twisted teas and was completely LIT. 2-3 drinks max is standard policy for that alcoholic content.

I will never in my life patronize this...
