A unique steak

Take a trip back to the 1980s at Caesar's Steak House. The decor is interesting here, with red everywhere, but the food is good. They cook their steaks in some unique way that's really delicious.

One of the pre-eminent old boys establishments

After 30 years of frequenting Caesar's for steaks at noon with by buds in the awl bidness, it's still the place to go. The Caesar's Special (New York striploin with their special sauce is still the BEST) and the only real rival to this old boys' place is the new Keg at the Westin. Take your clients there for lunch ... you can't go wrong!

a bit tired

i have been coming to Caesar's every once 'n a while for many years, for business or pleasure. There's something that draws me back, perhaps their incredible cuts of meat, but the whole idea of the place has gone stale. They need an update.

classic 1980s steak house

I'm sure the interior of this place hasn't changed since it opened, but that's one thing that makes it so great. It's such a classic feeling steak house, with incredible food. Steaks always cooked properly, and lots of choices of cuts and sizes. Expect to pay quite a lot though.

Good Local Option
May 29, 2014

I visited Caesars while in Calgary for business, based on a recommendation from a local. Dinner was good. You get bread with soup, which was great. The salad was nothing special. But, the steak was very good! The waiter was very nice and attentive. It was a good choice to experience a good local dining experience.

Caesar's has been the"go to" place for a great steak in Calgary forever. I don't think anything about Caesar"s steakhouse has changed since the beginning either. But when something is this great why make changes -dated can be good- they are definitely doing things right to be around for so long & still everything remaining the original.

Not very good
May 11, 2014

While the cheese bread has always been excellent, the steaks have not. It seems as though every time I order a teak and ask for medium well it comes to me rare. This has happened on many occasions. For the price paid I would recommend passing on lunch here.

Old style faded
May 09, 2014

This place was probably once The place but in my opinion those days are long gone. Faded decor and an old style menu.
Good service with a smile and excellent steak but the surroundings are somber. There was no buzz. Or theatre about it.
Would not go back.

Overall, the decor is dated, but really reminds me of a longstanding neighborhood gem. The service is impeccable, the food is fantastic, and the price is reasonable considering every entree comes with bread, soup, and salad. We would definitely return.

Stay away if you have high blood pressure. While the ambiance is dated, the staff were very attentive.

December 04, 2013

probably some of the best steak i have had. Aged properly, cooked perfectly. Fantastic beer and wine menu. The only down side i would say is that for the price i would expect better sides, the twice baked potato was good but you dont really get any other greens or sides for $40-50 per plate i expected more.

We had a great time at Caesar's. It's proper old school- think Berni Inn circa 1985!- but that added to its charm. Service was incredible, and food pretty much the same. Steak was fabulous, but the cheese and garlic bread and onion soup was exceptional. Overall a great experience!
