Steve's Steak & Seafood — Restaurant in Macon

Unless you know the owner personally or don't know how seafood is actually supposed to be cooked-don't waste your time or money. Owner spent a whole hour talking to one table - giving them free desserts from the kitchen and laughing with them. Meanwhile I'm one table over with overcooked crab (so overcooked that the meat is now one with the shell and they were essentially rubber). I asked our server (who was great btw) to ask him to come over and when he did, Steve just shook his hand and shooed him away. When he finally came to the table, me telling him that my crab was overcooked seemed like I was being a bother. I told him the crab was extremely overcooked. His response? "Ok". We stared at each other for a solid minute before he realized I wasn't going to eat it and he asked if I wanted another cluster to which I responded "please". He didn't bring the new cluster back or check to see if it was better (they were not btw-they were worse). After sitting for another 20 minutes for him to come back-our server asked if we wanted drinks to go. I asked for Steve again. 5 minutes later our server comes back with a pen to take the charge of crab legs off and informs us the owner is extremely busy. Funny bc he didn't seem to be busy for the hour he was hanging out with the other table. It was not a professional way to handle things on Steve's end by any means and he didn't even have the audacity to confront the issues that were had. I will never go back to this restaurant and I will definitely tell others about this. I've worked in the food industry many years and there is no reason an owner should dismiss an issue no matter what it is. I would've liked to stay for as long as needed to sit and have a nice long conversation with Steve but with the rudeness I've seen him portray to me and his employees-it would've been...

This was my second visit to this place. I tried the fish, this time, because I had such a horrible experience with the burger (smoke flavoring or lighter fluid, not sure which, caused nausea and vomiting for several hours after dining) the last time I'd been here. I was hoping to have better reviews to offer on them. Alas, that's not the case. My fries weren't completely cooked and my fish was undercooked (still pinkish in the thickest part). They did cook another filet for me but, by the time it came out, I'd lost my appetite and barely touched it. I didn't bother eating the fries. I got a "to go" box and ate the fish the next day (not bad for leftovers) but the fries went in the garbage. I'll give the server credit, she didn't miss a beat in noticing there was an issue and trying to correct it. She had a great personality. I wish I'd thought to get her name. I would recommend her. I've never been a fan of "booth seating" where you can seat 2 or 3 people per side...because somebody is going to have to disturb the whole table if the need to step away and some poor soul isn't going to be able to relax because they're being asked to get up and let someone out. There weren't any table/chair seats available when we arrived so, I order to get seated expeditiously, we settled for one of their many...

I won't trash this business with a 3 or 4 star overall rating but i want to point out a few things. Someone in another review pointed out it seems odd to name a place a steakhouse and have only one steak (ribeye). My food came out quickly and the server was very nice. The lady at the hostess stand didn't seem rude but she didn't have much spark. Someone else gave them a really bad review based mostly on the hostess. It's not possible for me to know if it was the same one but I have a feeling it might have been. She wasn't very personable and didn't give off a very welcoming vibe.

The grilled buffalo shrimp were cooked perfectly as was the fried shrimp I ordered along with my ribeye. The steak seemed to be of poor quality. It was tough and had a large section of gristle that I think should have been trimmed off. I would recommend anything seafood from this place but wouldn't...
