Steak 38 Tabernacle — Restaurant in Tabernacle Township

Very cool spot away from the hustle and bustle. Great spot if you enjoy Bourbon as they have plenty of choices like EH Taylor, Weller, and Whistle Pig. The base for most of their bourbon cocktails is Bullet.

For appetizers we had the Peach Caprese and the Bacon Wrapped Scallops which were both delicious and fairly priced.

For entrees, the wife ordered the special of the night which was an 8oz Filet with shrimp in a bourbon cream sauce, which was excellent. I ordered the 28 Oz Bone-in Rib-eye which was on a separate card from the full menu. It was equally delicious. Both entrees were served with green beans and mashed potatoes which were very good. The wife is a little sensitive to spice and didn’t enjoy the red pepper flake the green beans were cooked with. We also had had mushrooms and the truffle fries as additional sides. Both were very good and well priced.

Dessert for myself was the table side bananas foster which was amazing. The wife ordered a crème brûlée cheesecake which was good but the sugar topping was pushing the limit of caramelization and bordering burnt.

My only complaint comes back to the way their specialty steaks weren’t presented on the main menu. As I mentioned above, I ordered a 28oz rib-eye which was hidden on a separate card that was already on the table. I caught it last minute and asked if I could order it instead of the regular 20 Oz rib-eye on the menu. Shame on me for not asking the price but that steak ended up being a $124 beauty. There were no problems and the steak was excellent but it was double the price of any steak on the regular menu and $84 more expensive than the steak I originally ordered. Again, blame is on me for not investing more thought into the decision but considering the rest of the menu’s pricing, there should either be a price on that item as a disclaimer or if it’s market priced the server should have some dialogue explaining that there is a pretty good jump between the normal rib-eye and the bone in.

Overall, it was a really nice experience and the food was very good. We will be back and make more informed...

My husband and I booked steak 38 for our anniversary dinner and we were super excited as we used to frequent the brigantine location years ago. We arrived apx 20 minutes early and was met with a quite rude host who seemed annoyed that we were early, none the less we sat in the corridor and waited apx 10 minutes before we were met by the same host asking us to sit in the bar instead of the table we had reserved. I said no thank you at least 4 times but she continually pressed the issue - I asked her how long it would take for our reserved table (we are still 10 minutes early at this time) and she just rolled her eyes and insinuated we would be waiting a very long time (still could not give me a time frame). My husband and I agreed we did not was to sit at a hi-top bar table as this was a special evening. Not even 5 minutes later the host comes back out and says our table is ready, puzzled and a bit annoyed my husband and I laughed to each other and followed her in. We ordered drinks and appetizers right away and waited approximately 27 minutes for 2 martinis, we than waited about 40 minutes for clams and the corses to follow. In total we spent about 2.5 hours in the establishment which was a very long time to be waiting. We tried to make the best of it and enjoy our time chatting ect. but honestly I don’t think this was a several hundred dollar experience. It was extremely upsetting as we had such fond memories.. we also watched the GM in a red button down walk by our table at least 3 times where we were visibly annoyed at points and he chose...

Great service, mediocre food. Didn't realize we needed to make reservations for 2 on a Thursday evening, so we just pulled up on the bike and asked for a table. They did have a table, but recommended we make reservations next time. Menu has a wide variety of seafood and steak. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to shellfish and didn't feel like having steak that night, so I was limited to a couple of chicken and salmon dishes. I chose the special, pistachio crusted salmon with green beans. My husband got a New York strip, medium well. We also ordered the Ceasar salad which is made table side with the waiter making the dressing fresh, even down to the anchovies. The potato of the day was Au gratin, and they turned out pretty bland. My salmon was also pretty bland, and the "crust" had almost no taste except salt. I've gotten better salmon at Applebee's. The green beans had the most taste of anything, and they were spicy for some reason. My husband enjoyed his steak even though it was a little undercooked. I chose the bananas foster for dessert so I could again, see a table side show. The waiter made the sauce and bananas fresh and put it over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think he caramelized the sugar a little much because the dessert was chewy and a little overdone with the taste of burnt raisins. For all the money we spent here, I wish I could say it was worth it, but we will not...
