Sacramento's Definitive Steakhouse Since 1950

The Broiler has been Sacramento's definitive steakhouse since 1950, when a very special Dinner House at 10th and J Streets opened its doors. Now in a new location, tradition still rules at the Broiler as each steak is prepared by the same strict requirements as it was in 1950. Not in the mood for steak? Try chicken, salmon, pasta or lobster - the same attention to detail can be savored in any of the simple perfections ordered. Lunch begins at 11 a.m. each day and dinner is served until 10 p.m.

We just enjoyed a GREAT dinner at The Broiler. We had the Lamb Chops, New York Strip, Fillet and Lobster Tail. Every item was cooked to order and done perfectly. The service was very attentive, professional and friendly. Thanks for a great meal...we will be back.

The Bar is the best thing going for the place. The bartenders are the best and the happy hour bar menue is a real treat. The restaurant needs some work a few years ago it was the best We went 2 or 3 times a month the past 3 or 4 times we went Not so good The steak was very grissly and chewy and chicken was DRY DRY DRY Not what I expected. The vegetable were barely warm and overcooked. I was really hoping for much better food and hope they improve to whrere they used to be in quality. Stick to the Bar it is always good A+++.

The Broiler is a Sacramento institution that has recently been making a big effort to draw new customers - street signs, general presence. They should concentrate on improving the food and service instead, because I can't imagine anyone coming back a second time. The reservation went smoothly and they were careful to point out how to find their free parking (a great rarity downtown!) The parking is indeed convenient and free. We were seated promptly and drinks arrived within a few minutes, but that's the last thing that happened quickly. We were in a small side room and the waitress seemed to have one too many zones to cover, so her appearances were a bit far in between. The appetizers (good) and salads (ordinary) took a long time to be served, then, before we'd even gotten a good start on the salad, the entrees arrived. Timing food to tables is a hallmark of a well-run restaurant, so this was not a good sign. I had ordered their signature porterhouse, a $45, 30-ounce monster, and the waitress was concerned that they wouldn't be able to get all the red out because of its thickness. It arrived a half-inch thick and looking as if it had been cooked in a microwave - gray, greasy, no browning or crust at all. It was utterly tasteless and ended up being about 25% gristle and fat. Some "extra" is to be expected on a large steak, but the leftover pile was surprisingly large. (I'm not a fussy trimmer, either.) As we were short on time I just ate it, but it took liberal salting to bring out any flavor at all. It would have been disappointing at Sizzler or Denny's - but from an expensive traditional steakhouse, it was shockingly bad. My wife ordered the signature chicken dish and left half of it behind - it was "just okay." Absolutely not recommended. There are a dozen other restaurants within a few blocks, and most are much better than this at lower prices.

The Broiler is very good to excellent in every category a restaurant can be rated. The ambience is very 1950's in a good way, with the high leather booths. The food is very good, and the the service is great. I highly recommend this restaurant for all steak lovers.
