The Beef Restaurant & Pub -Food CA (Near Binghamton)

5 /5 Melissa V Schmidt: Busy night at the Beef. We got there at 6 and put on our name on the list but waited 2 hrs for a table. Because we sat at the bar while waiting, were overlooked, but the host apologized and got us a table after that. The bar tender was good at serving many people at once. He was hopping and very efficient. We had a happy night and the food and waitress were great. There was excellent entertainment there, with a beautiful singer named Adrianna, who pulled in a good crowd. We will definitely go back!!

3 /5 Haim Haviv: Cute family oriented vibe in a residential neighborhood. The food was OK but not more. Steak tacos: nicely seasoned with lots of coleslaw salad. French Onion Soup: not great. Nothing like the traditional one. It’s more like vegetable soup with a slice of melted cheese on a piece of bread. Salmon: classic. Good. Cooked well.

5 /5 James Barsham: Third time visiting in the last couple of months. Seems like many patrons know the owner and each other. Food was great every time. Have had the orange roughy, twin tornados bearnaise, pork chop and Swiss chicken. All cooked perfectly and tasty. Sides are always cooked properly as well.

4 /5 Cheryl N: Dinner with friends, we were seated immediately on a Friday evening (6:30pm). The service was friendly and very attentive. Water glass was always filled. My sirloin was delicious and cooked medium well perfectly. The huge bowl of cheesey cauliflower soup was, sadly, not very flavorful. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal. The Beef is a decent sized restaurant, next to Leroys Package Store. There is a bar when you walk in. Then the restaurant seating is a walk around. The decor is dark wood with low lighting. The night we were there, 2 couples in the table next to us were very loud and tipsy. Tough time hearing the wait service. Still we enjoyed our dinner and left satisfied.

1 /5 Yuki Li: do not ever come to the beef especially if youre a young college student or if youre a person who wants good service. when we came here we ordered the dinner entree (which is not cheap) it stated that it comes with a side and a soup. we confirmed with our waitress (emma) that there was no upcharge for the french onion soup sub and she confirmed that there was a dollar upcharge only for the french onion gratin. we also ordered the shrimp scampi (which is expected to come over noodles) and our waitress proceeded to ask if we wanted that over noodles or rice. we then asked for a side of roasted mushrooms and a soup with that. when the check comes we see there is a FIVE dollar charge for the mushrooms that we thought were a side. we nicely asked out waitress and she told us that the linguini was the side -- so the 28 dollar price tag for the shrimp scampi was for the 5 shrimps. the waitress did not tell us that the mushrooms were an additional charge and basic logic would have us assume that when she said "over noodles or rice" meant it came with the dish. there was also a one dollar upcharge for each soup. when we asked her she literally admitted she made a mistake and then said and I quote: "i made a mistake. what do you want me to do about it? do you want me to comp it" it was as simple as a two dollar comp. we were unhappy about the FIVE dollar mushrooms but we were gonna eat the cost. but the attitude of the staff was shocking as she was talking about us within earshot of the bathroom (thank you for that btw) she then disappeared and had another staff handle our check who also told us "theres upcharges for stuff at every restaurant" thats totally fine but its basic expectation to make it clear what those costs are otherwise its highway robbery. its not that we cant afford the 5 dollars or two dollars but its about basic respect and principle.
