Taylor's Steakhouse is a good place to enjoy traditional steakhouse fare in an atmosphere that will take you back to midcentury American comfort and service. The meats are well-cooked, and sides are mildly seasoned (garlic is the spiciest thing you'll encounter in most dishes) and do well for sensitive palettes. Sauces for all dishes are typically served on the side in gravy boats, which is excellent for folks who want to dress their own meats. For some dishes, like the chicken piccata, heavier elements like capers may have settled to the bottom of the gravy boat -- so give it a stir before dressing. Main dishes are served a-la-carte, with sides like their very creamy mashed potatoes (some skins whipped in the mix, still very creamy) and garlic spinach that are reasonably priced additions with large portions. You came here for the steak, ribs, and seafood -- take your vegetarian and vegan friends elsewhere: the only things here for them are sides and a couple of salads not quite hearty enough for a full entree (no veg protein options). The staff are friendly and helpful, especially front-of-house. Inside, the bar area and main inside dining areas are dimly lit enough that your eyes will need a moment to adjust on a bright day, but day or night, this gives a cozy and intimate feeling in the spacious interior with many booth-style tables. (If you are seated in the main dining, you might need a phone flashlight to read the menu.) A wine room with seating and private group room allow for booking of private parties. There is also a large indoor patio with a fireplace and large windows for brighter daytime lighting. There are a few tables on a fully outdoor back patio, a terrific place for lunch (which, at the time of this review, is served only on Thursdays and Fridays). On the outdoor patio, the staff allow dogs (during lunch seatings and sometimes dinner, if it's not overly busy); if you're bringing a dog, it's easier to enter through this back patio from the parking lot side of the restaurant. There is a parking lot in back that can get full at busy times, so if you're coming on a weekend evening, you might want to grab a street parking spot on your way in. There are small signs at the entrances that read "dress code," but don't list the dress code. Their website reads: "We consider tank tops, flip flops, team athletic attire, and provocative clothing too casual for Taylor's dining experience." Expect to see many people in jackets and ties and otherwise dressed for "fine dining," though for lunch seatings, more casual like hoodies and athleisure wear are common. Some reviews on TripAdvisor also note folks coming in for dinner service in jeans and t-shirts.

Friday night was packed but luckily the wait was 20 minutes to get seated. Ordered the following: Clam chowder: had a slightly fishy taste. Wasn't the best or freshest clam chowder. There were a few pieces of oyster and needed some pepper flakes. Chilled jumbo prawn cocktail: this is a must order if you like seafood. The prawns are juicy and thicc and really refreshing with the cocktail sauce. Bone in ribeye: flavorful and fatty. Just thinking about it making me drool. Definitely a must get! Service is courteous and friendly. Interior is gives an old school steakhouse feel, but everything is modern and clean. Valet parking is available but otherwise there's a huge lot that's shared with other businesses.

Taylor's is the epitome of what a steakhouse should be. The environment is relaxing and comfortable; the service is consistently above reproach. The bar and food are the real reasons to come here, and it is all you would hope for. Everything is served exactly as requested and each dish is done to perfection (side dishes included). I cannot recommend it highly enough. I actually ordered scallops during my last visit and was very happy, so there is variety available also.

Always enjoy coming here. The service is great and old school red leather booths. Very comfortable. The food is great, especially the steaks. The steaks have always come perfectly done to my request. We always enjoy a baked potato and the creamed spinach. Also you can't go without having their Molly Salad. Very professional service. Always.

Really nothing at all impressive about this restaurant. It was okay but we were expecting better food and choices.

I'm so sad to say but Taylor's is just not the same anymore. Been coming here for years and the quality of their food has gone down. Their service is still amazing but I will probably not be visiting them again in the future.

Wonderful staff who have been there for quite some time, which says a lot about a restaurant, They welcome you and remember what you like. Something, very difficult to find these days. Folks come back for the "cheers factor" and the great comfort food. I'm a sandwich girl, so I appreciate the cheeseburger and the beef dip.

I like this place because it was great value. HOWEVER, twice in a row we found a foreign subject in our food. Last time we found a hair in our food (not pictured) and last night we found a huge piece of plastic in our mushroom. We notified our server and he took the mushrooms off our bill and that was it. He didn't seem too apologetic. He was tried to take our side dishes to show the kitchen staff the plastic piece. My prime rib was ok. The rib cap was fatty and tender but the eye was tough and didn't finish.

STRICTLY FOR BARTENDERS CUSTOMER SERVICE Extremely disappointing experience. Do not go on a weekend or prepare to line up and duke it out with the entitled regulars with think they can reserve first come first serve bar area. The bartenders holding tables for others instead of letting ready patrons sit?? I've never really been treated like this. The hostess was kind but the bar and the hostess are on two separate planets. The bartenders don't respect her or the rules of the restaurant. We never even got to eat because after waiting 35 minutes for both areas, I saw two bar spots open. Awesome! Nope, not so quick. Now the second time the bartender told me get up because those were saved spots (the parties had left and paid their full bill) only to have the spots taken up by people they're friendly with. At that point I was too pissed to wait around any longer. I really want to try this place but don't feel like being treated poorly by a bartender.
