Steakhouse 85 is a 21st century rendition of the classic American Steakhouse. The menu at Steakhouse 85 is comprised of fresh and inspiring modern day interpretations of classic American cuisine, served alongside the traditional steakhouse classics we all know and love. The back bone of our menu is without a doubt our beef. Our mouth watering dry aged steaks are rubbed with a simple yet luscious combination of sea salt, black pepper and fresh herbs. They are seared on a 1200 degree cast iron grill and then broiled to your liking. Paired with a large classically designed bar, complete with savvy cocktails and a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, this steakhouse is sure to please.Wine Spectator Award of ExcellenceOfficial Steakhouse of Rutgers Athletics

    I celebrated my lady's birthday. Everyone was nice. The servers. The cook. Helping me celebrate a beautiful birthday with a special request of cheesecake and her birthday age written nicely on the plate. The food was excellent. B.Y.O.B. was an amazing experience. Very elegant. Highly recommended. Thank you for everything!

    Great serving sizes at a very reasonable price point. Whipped ricotta was delicous, and the bread that it comes with was so good (and they give you so much). I had the Carbonara, great flavor and a good amount of pancetta. Wife had the Chicken Parm, she loved it. Ambiance is great, love the decor and the bar is very classy. Good wine selection at a good price point. My wife and I got 2 apps and an entree each. I had a martini and 2 glasses of wine. Tab was $140, great value. Waitress was very helpful, talked us out of ordering too many apps because we were unaware how large the serving sizes were!
