Steer N' Stein of Cucamonga — Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga

Don’t eat here: FOOD POISONING!! You be the judge. It’s your stomach and it’s your life. I ordered a pepper steak, and I immediately knew that it wasn’t what I expected—the peppers tasted tainted. So I switched to the mushrooms that were a part of the steak’s topping, but they were enough influenced by the bad peppers that their flavor was off, too. So I just ate some more of the meat and gave up about halfway through, taking the rest home. Within three hours—and for much of the rest of the night--I was retching out that spoiled supper with a vengeance. Weak as a kitten the next day from throwing up so much, I got the runs. I lost a couple of days recovering from both the stomach and lower GI uproar. All because of some bad peppers they served me that I should have sent back then second I smelled them. (It was a birthday dinner for a good friend. I rarely send food back and I certainly didn’t want to spoil his evening.)

I could not have imagined the awful pain and wretchedness that awaited me once their tainted food hit my system. Now YOU know—forewarned is forearmed. “Let the buyer beware!”

To top it all off: afterwards, they deny responsibility after claiming that they want to “make you happy” when you report the problem to them. First they avoid talking with you about it (even when you call back anyway.) Then Tony the owner seems to want to work with you, telling you it’s unnecessary to bring in the box of tainted food that you took home and immediately froze rather than ate as leftovers, because he believes your claim. (So you throw it away.) Then he tells you they have no insurance to cover any liability (other than his offering your money back or another free meal for your trouble.) Then their insurance rejects your claim because you weren’t hospitalized (no bill for them to REIMBURSE.) Then owner Tony stonewalls after al because no one else got sick but you. You get nothing for the pain and suffering...

First time based on the way the reviews and photos appear online. We arrived at about 750pm (closing at 830pm). We were seated right away.. Andrew, our server was the best! He was knowledgeable about the menu and bar options (wine and beer). Being our first visit, we asked for recommendations from our server. We took his advice; I ordered bud light on tap & the hubby ordered a Modelo! The frost on the glass was like something in an igloo! Frosssttyyy! The dinners ....babyyyyy....my steak and shrimp w/salad and baked potato. The hubby ordered the rib eye w/ salad and baked potato. Steaks cooked perfectly! Potatoes nice and soft w/ just enough firmness to keep us happy 😊! The shrimp were kind of a disappointment because they were "regular/average" fried butterfly shrimp 🍤. Your 2 sides will consist of your salad and 1 side. So be mindful when ordering your "2 sides."The food arrived to the table....with....#SmokingSteaks and the entire meal sizzling! That's right....sizzling! I thought it was fajitas lol ! That was interesting! W/O an appetizer, we were unable to complete our meal. The salad portions were extremely generous. Salad dressings were cold and fresh! I know this was long....however...I had to say how I really felt. Peoples reviews were really mean and I couldn't be who I am if I didn't praise this establishment for what it presented yesterday. Ummmm with the sizzling plates, the bread was cooked to burn level!

Oh yeah and the location is easy to miss! It's dark and uninviting! No parking lot lights and No signage was displayed or illuminated!

Can't...

One Star – The Hostess Set the Tone, and It Was All Downhill

If you’re thinking about dining here, prepare to be greeted by the most unpleasant hostess I’ve ever encountered. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were intruding on her personal time. No smile, no greeting—just a blank stare and a dismissive, “Name?” like we’d already done something wrong.

She acted completely inconvenienced by our presence, rolled her eyes when we asked how long the wait would be, and seemed more interested in chatting with a server than doing her actual job. At one point, she even muttered something under her breath and walked off without telling us what was going on. It was awkward, uncomfortable, and totally unprofessional.

We stayed, but the bad vibe she gave off lingered through the whole meal. It’s hard to enjoy your food when the first impression is that you’re not welcome. Whoever’s running this place seriously needs to rethink who they have representing them at the front door

They forced our party to split us into groups but when we asked to be sat near each other the hostess said, “Probably not but I’ll see what I can do.” She then purposely sat us across the room from our other party. And when a server suggested a closer table she told her, “This is not my problem.” The rest of the staff was very pleasant but the hostess needs to be evaluated.

We also watched her do the same thing to another family. Seems like she...
