Yesterday I visited STK Steakhouse for Valentine’s Day and had an absolutely amazing time. The special Valentine’s menu was outstanding and made the evening feel extra special. The steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster tail was tender and flavorful, and the King Crab pasta was absolutely delicious. Even the sides impressed us — the asparagus was perfectly grilled and seasoned just right.
The appetizers were amazing as well, but my personal favorite was the Caviar Kisses, mini caviar pancakes — such a unique and indulgent bite that really stood out.
What truly made the night exceptional was our server, GiGi. She was attentive, warm, and made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Her recommendations were spot-on and her service elevated the whole experience.
Overall, it was a memorable evening with great food, great service, and a perfect Valentine’s atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it for a special night out!

We visited STK Steakhouse during Queen City Restaurant Week expecting a reasonably priced, curated three-course experience at $55 per person. While the food itself was good and the service was polite and attentive, the overall value fell short of expectations.
We did choose a few upgrades (oysters as a starter, filet and wagyu for mains, a side of Yukon gold mashed potatoes, and one cocktail), which we fully expected to increase the bill. However, what was surprising, and disappointing – were several additional charges that were never disclosed by the server. These included a $12 charge for a one-ounce dollop of butter, $6 for peppercorns, and a charge for an oil dip that was served automatically with the complimentary bread. None of these were presented as optional or priced items.
As a result, what was intended to be a restaurant-week meal ended up totaling close to $279 after tip for two people, which felt excessive for what was, overall, a fairly light meal.
The food was well prepared, but not notably better than other upscale steakhouses nearby (such as Capital Grille or Dean’s), which offer clearer pricing and a more comfortable dining experience. The ambiance was extremely dark, making the menu difficult to read and detracting from the experience.
To be clear, the service was friendly and professional. this isn’t a complaint about staff. The issue is transparency and value. Restaurant Week should feel like an accessible introduction to a restaurant, not a surprise premium experience.
Good food, good service, but the hidden costs and overall value miss make this a 3-star experience for us.

The best experience my fiancé and I have ever had. First we were greeted nicely and given macaroons for free on the way to the table. We were then asked how our Valentine’s Day was and asked about any allergies! Our serve Andrew was the best server we have ever had. Our food was absolutely amazing and he answered all our questions. The sides are large portions. He even asked our preference of water. We left extremely satisfied. He gave us a gift card on him before we left. I have never had better service or food. Try to wagyu potstickers!!

Overall we had an amazing experience at STK on our visit to Charlotte. The space where we were seated was a bit cramped/small. Our server Zach was very attentive and knowledgeable; he even recommended a local bar for us at the end. We enjoyed the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, 12 oz Ribeye, Steak Frites, Shrimp Scampi, and Mushroom Pot Pie. However, the Potato Gratin was lacking in taste and presentation. We ended the night with a celebratory cheesecake and photos (courtesy of the hostess).

This is not a steakhouse, go here for good drinks appetizers and great atmospherics, music was realllyyyy good. I ordered a tomahawk steak that cost $130 something dollars to share with my husband for my bday and was extremely disappointed. Steak was cold, dry and not medium rare as ordered. Steak was almost well done and dry as it could be, also ordered mac and cheese that were dried and kind of cold and i love them saucy; the only great things were drinks and the cheesesteak egg rolls. We were shocked to see this place had so many open reservations for a Friday night an unfortunately now understand why; this is a place you go after you have a nice dinner. Unfortunately we spent good amount of $$ for an awful dinner. Our service was GREAT, the server did give us 50% off the steak although should have been totally free. I would have loved to have another one made but it wasn’t offered, and honestly we had kids with us so didn’t feel like waiting for so long again. Our food took about an hour after we ordered to come out, again server did apologize for that. Another thing I dont know if it was just us but for bdays they charge you $20 for a sliver piece of cake!!! So highly recommend skip it unless you just want to splurge in not so great food/treat. Would come back to have just drinks and sit at the bar definitely will not for dinner; save those bucks and have a way better dinner somewhere else! See steak in pic it doesn’t even look appetizing :/

About a week ago I dined in for the first time as an impromptu celebration for business. Aaliyah did a wonderful job both professionally and relationally helping me understand menu offerings and making delicious recommendations (which I took advantage of). She was attentive and communicative. Would dine here again!

Excellent service! A young man served my friends and me, and he was fantastic. I regret not remembering his name, but he guided us and took care of us so well, even giving us recommendations from the menu. I would love to go back and have him serve us again.

This review will be a mixed bag. I’ve been to many STKs but first time having dinner at the Charlotte location. The vibes, the drinks, and our waitress Carla were amazinggggg! Food was good, anything seafood had a very fishy taste but the steak frites or short rib BUSS. I had an 8:15 res and sat down closer to 9:30 — so everything about the wait times are true BUT they were more than accommodating for making my birthday special. I’ve also been for happy hour and they’re always great. If you have a birthday dinner, make sure to schedule around 7.

I placed an order for delivery which was canceled. I placed the same order again after I called the restaurant inquiring about my order. I should’ve taken that as an omen. When my order finally arrived everything was ice cold – not warm but cold as if it’d been sitting around for a long while. Nevertheless, I was hungry so I proceeded to heat up my food. The food was disgusting. The burger tasted horrible and the fries were disgusting. I’m so very disappointed because I’ve dined at STK several times. However my food from delivery tasted nothing like before. The burger and fries were so gross, I couldn’t eat it. The sauce and the cheese on the burger didn’t look or taste fresh. The bun was burned, dry and hard as a rock. The strip of onion was stale. There was so much wrong that I just can’t anymore. I’m NEVER going to order from STK again. To-go service and the food is not consistent. This meal was a total waste of time and money.

First impression of this place. I asked for a well done burger I guess the cook didn’t care what I ordered as long as they got an order out. Imagine being pregnant , hungry and you get this for dinner knowing damn well you didn’t order this. Why is the option there for well done if you’re not going to make it like so?
This is medium at best the deeper you go the redder it becomes
