The Peddler Steak House - Raleigh

My wife and I showed up at around 6 without a reservation-not sure they take them there. We were told the wait was about an hour and so we waited at the bar. The place is old and according to a couple we met at the bar, basically unchanged since the 1970s. This was fine by us as it did have a nice vibe and was dimly lit. After a few drinks we were called to our table after about 40 minutes. We each ordered the filet mignon which you can get from 6oz on up. Just tell them what size. Every meal comes with an unlimited salad bar which was a nice touch and fantastic. I also ordered the French onion soup which was one of the best I've ever had. Not too salty and actually had a sweetness to it. When the steaks finally came-we waited a bit but it wasn't bad-they were cooked to perfection. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed them with a sweet potato on the side. One of the best steaks we've ever had. So 4 drinks, filet mignon and the salad bar was roughly $135 before tip. Honestly less than what we expected. Overall it was top notch and well worth the trip.

There's something special about The Peddler in Raleigh! It's truly a one of a kind restaurant that many other restauranteur's hope to immitate, and yet cannot replicate. In my humble opinion, The Peddler Steakhouse's culture can't be taught, rather it seems to derive from years and years of treating their staff and patrons as family who just so happen to serve the best drinks and steaks in the triangle. So what better way to celebrate my parents milestone, 50th anniversary, than the place I call my second home? Needless to say, my parents and my siblings were beyond excited, satisfied, and pleased with The Peddler Steakhouse! And now my parents are calling it their home away from home steakhouse.

Food was good and liked the salad bar, but way over priced overall for the quality and service. Salad bar was like any avg salad bar.

Best steak I’ve ever had!! Ive had the filet and the prime rib and they’re delicious. Never had better, and you can have them bring out choices of meat to the table and cut it for you. Great staff and a separate bar area as well. Low light , white table cloth atmosphere. It’s a must try

Excellent meal! Exceeded our expectations. Prime rib was incredibly tender.
