JW Steakhouse - Decatur, Alabama

My wife and I have watched this family owned restaurant go from awesome to absolutely terrible! The start of a long weekend we chose to go to JW’s to have a tomahawk steak. We must admit the service and atmosphere was amazing but the food was horrible. The ranch dressing was ruined and the steak was overcooked 1 and 2 had a funny taste as well. My wife and I also have been sick ever since we left. We lost a long weekend and $100 dinner.
The salad bar however was decent.
My wife and I had never had a tomahawk and it’s sad that was our impression of one. We won’t be back for sure.

I would describe this as a family style steakhouse with pricing more in line with a little more upscale restaurant. We arrived early evening and were seated quickly. Staff was very friendly, but table service was a little slow.
I ordered Salmon and my wife ordered beef tips. We paid the $3 upcharge to get a salad (one pass) with our meals. I would say the salad was the highlight of the meal. The ingredients were very fresh and well chilled. The dressings were delicious.
The ingredients for the main course were good quality, but the execution on the prep and cooking didn't quiet measure up. My salmon was a little over cooked (not the medium I asked for), and the rice pilaf had hard crunchy bits.
The desserts are like what you aunt used to bring to family gatherings and are pretty tasty!
We enjoyed our dinner, but tonight it did not measure up to a good value experience. Maybe pandemic impacts on staffing is a contributing factor. Cost for two without alcohol plus tip was $72.

Overall good experience. I got the all you can eat salad bar for $8.00. Honey got the Wyoming Ribeye, baked potato, and Mac & cheese. Plus we got the fried mushrooms as an appetizer. The service was great but we went right at 4PM when they opened. It got very busy not long after. They even have an outside area if you would rather dine outside. Note: you may want to make sure to bring cash because they charge a 3% charge for cards.

Shortly after arriving I used the mens restroom. A metal door decoration had a jagged edge and cut my arm. I told the waiter. He offered a band aid. No Manger was notified and nothing else was said about the injury. I sent an email to the address listed on their website. Five days have passed with no response. On a side note it is pricey. To get a salad bar as one of your sides it costs and extra $6.00. The Ranch Dressing was so salty it was not worth eating. There are much better choices than this restaurant.

Service was great, Jose was very attentive and took great care of me. Bone in ribeye and wine selection was fantastic.

Little on the pricey side, but for the area/location seems in line with other restaurants. Marriott has other options for different styles and budgets.

I arrived about 5 on a Friday night. There were already a lot of vehicles in the parking lot. I was seated immediately. About 5 minutes later Cole came and took my drink order . The Sweet Tea was good.
I ordered the Wyoming Ribeye, with a baked sweet potato and broccoli. About 16 minutes later I was served.
Everything was very good.

My friend and I ordered dinner and both ordered our steaks medium; they came out rare. We asked for a recook and they came out more so well done. Wheh the steaks came back out my friends veggies from the kabobs weren’t on the plate - the server apologized and said we’d get “free dessert”. I ordered broccoli and got Brussel sprouts which is what my friend ordered - no big deal since our server brought out my broccoli. When our server brought the check….no dessert. The restaurant wasn’t super packed or anything but we were both underwhelmed and won’t return.

Had an absolutely delicious meal with my mother and son. We ordered fried mushrooms as an appetizer. They were so hood and there is a mountain of them on one order. Great service, very attentive. We will definitely be back!
