Really good prices for all the food you get. We both got a marinated steak special that comes with 3 shrimp and a side – we got mashed potatoes and gravy. Also came with a house salad that we both ate every drop!
Great food quaint atmosphere and the marinated steak is the way to go.
I went on a night where they had a special, and though everything was good, the steak was a little bit thin. It was tender and well seasoned and perfectly cooked as always, but I was a little disappointed. Next time I’m going for the porterhouse and reliving my childhood memories.
Another great option is their marinated burgers. I kind of think that Cliff or whoever is running the restaurant these days are kind of like that guy in the Stephen King novel about a guy who has a Time portal in the the basement of his Diner and can go back 30 years in time and source local grass-fed Non-Commercially steroid-filled beef. Their steaks and…and burgers are always top notch, and their red clam chowder is outstanding.
The weekly steak special is a great deal, but if you want the real elbow room experience, come and get the porterhouse or the New York strip you will not be disappointed. I recommend that if there are two of you one orders the marinated steak one orders the non-marinated steak. Then you can compare and decide. Then come back here and weigh in on your thoughts. For me? I’m normally a salt pepper only guy when it comes to steak, but at the elbow room I will only go marinated because it’s the only place you can get that unique Elbow room black marinade.
A MUST visit.
Started with a mixed order of raw clams and oysters. Both were fresh, perfectly shucked and delicious.
Wife went with an order of fried calamari which she enjoyed but was nothing”special”.
I’ve heard over and over about their legendary marinade so I went with a Marinated rib eye that was on special. Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. The marinade was very good, but the real game changer was the delicious compound garlic butter.
All and all a low key very good meal. You can see why they have the reputation that they do.

Layout/atmosphere
*Cottage; bar area (four TVs; ATM); dining room (seven or eight tables); three parking spots in front
Service
*Solid
Food/drink
*House salad (with French dressing) – solid; no cucumbers or tomatoes
*Baked clams – Good; mushrooms in the stuffing; not just breadcrumbs and a piece of clam
*Porterhouse steak (with French fries & corn) – good; marinade almost like a soy sauce; fries needed salt
*Chocolate cake – OK; too dense without moist texture; sweeter chocolate
We’ll be back again and again!
