Northwestern Steakhouse

This is considered good food?? Is there another Steak House in this town or are people so deluded that this is good. Waited almost an hour for some thick very poorly cooked and lacking flavor steak and shrimp. Service was mediocre. I’m beyond disappointed that this is what Mason City considers good steak, for what your paying was not at all impressed. Do not recommend. For the plus, Mason City has decent water

Does this place need yet another five star review? ABSOLUTELY. I moved to Iowa six years ago, and one of the recommendations I received was to visit Northwestern Steakhouse. So after six years of living in this great state, we finally made a small detour on the way home from Minneapolis. We were fortunate to make a last minute reservation on a BUSY Saturday night. This place is popular with travelers AND locals. Respect their reservation rules and policies. It’s not a big place and they do their best to accommodate the demand. This is not a traditional steakhouse. The cuts and sizes are pretty American with Greek style/flavors. Never had it before and it was effing delicious. We ordered the filet and ribeye. Both were cooked to perfect medium rare. The filet just melted in my mouth. It was the rice side that kind of stole the show. More addicting than crack. Service was phenomenal. We were seated almost 30 minutes after our reservation but enjoyed drinks upstairs in their lounge, frequently being checked on. We honestly felt like local regulars with how nice everyone was. Anne felt like the grandmother I never had. Highly recommend making a trip to Northwestern a priority. Mason City is a sleepy little town to me, and I’m glad I got past my biases for small town restaurants because this place is a GEM.

I recently dined at this Northwestern Steakhouse, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. So The service was impeccable, with knowledgeable staff who helped us choose the ideal steak Now, about the star of the show—the steak. The quality and preparation were outstanding. Each bite was juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The salads and sides were equally impressive, offering a variety of choices to complement the main course. The attention to detail and commitment to providing a top-notch dining experience was evident throughout. While it's a bit pricier, the value for the quality of food and service makes it worth it for a memorable night out. If you're a steak lover, this restaurant is a must-visit.

I wasn’t sure about this place but hands down the best steak I’ve ever had!! My honey said he’s never heard someone moan so much while eating. I had Greek salad, spaghetti and ribeye. I am telling you it is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is perfect. Sun lights but still light enough, great music, not too loud and excellent service.

It def lives up to all of the great reviews. Tender meat, no matter what cut you get. The Rice has mint added, which sounds odd but is delicious! We got there right before 4:30 waited outside in a short line, but managed to get right in when they opened.
