“ We arrived at 5:25 on a Sunday and got a table right away. As others have mentioned, there are only 10 tables. It was our first time here so we didn't really know what to expect. A man came to our table with steak and cut our 8 oz portions in front of us. We were told that it would start to be cooked as soon as we went to the salad bar. My friend and I hadn't seen each other in a while so we took some time to catch up. I love how we were never rushed. When we were ready, we sent to the salad bar. A whole stick of butter was put on the table which had us giggling. A little while later we got our steak, a baked potato and a slice of grilled bread. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was certainly a unique experience. At the end of the night our bill was $54 per person before tax and tip. We had water to drink. The only thing I didn't like is that there was no pricing anywhere to be found. Overall, it was delicious and a great local spot. ”

“ you can't beat it. hands down the best streak and salad bar around. the service is phenomena as well. always. ”

“ When you do it right, keep doing it! These guys have been doing it right for years. I had an out of town guest come play golf this week. We were done and I asked if he wanted to grab dinner or if he had to get back home. He had time so I asked if he liked steak. He laughed. I said "Follow me." We pulled in and he said that he had heard about the place but never been. I told him "My treat." We had one of the best steak dinners ever (cooked to perfection) and certainly the best steak for miles around. Good food ain't cheap. Cheap food ain't good. I'll be back again. And again. ”

“ A very, very fine meal. Great steak, cooked just the way I like it. Tasty baked potato and toast. And the salad bar? Lots of items...and theonly way to get fresher is to go out in the garden and pick it yourself. Friendly staff and attentive service. I highly recommend! A+++! We were on Wilson visiting family, and this will definitely be a go-to every time we come to town. ”

“ We arrived at 4:15 on a Saturday afternoon to find a line already waiting at the door. We took the 8th of the ten tables. My dining companion and I both came for a ribeye steak, salad, baked potato and bread, which is perfect since that comprises the entire menu, with the exception of a baked onion which you can request. Tea, coffee, or water are included. There is a modest bar and bottled soft drinks are also available for extra cost. Dinner prices start at $50 for an 8oz cut. I ordered a 10oz cut and was charged $53, so it seems like each extra ounce of steak is a $1.50 additional. Overall, I thought it was a reasonable value. My steak was cooked a perfect medium as requested and served hot off the grill. While it was not the best cut of ribeye I have eaten, it was very good, mostly tender, flavorful, and had a modest but not excessive amount of fat. Many reviewers comment that the steaks are not seasoned, but that was not the case during our visit. I watched the cook (the Beef Mastor?) season each steak with a very finely ground seasoning before it was placed on the grill. Everything on the salad bar was extremely fresh. Although there was not an extensive selection of ingredients, it was kept constantly restocked and was of good quality, except the croutons which seemed to be of the grocery-store variety. My potato was perfectly baked. The accompanying bread was buttered and toasted on the grill to order. Service was simple, polite, and very attentive. Two servers worked all ten tables and they stayed very busy during our visit. The restaurant is small and modest, but that is part of its appeal. By the time we returned to our car, the parking lot was full with tailgating going in full swing and a game of cornhole ramping up in the side lot. If you are looking for a steak house along the lines of a Ruth's Chris, Sullivan's, or Perry's, Beefmastor Inn is not it. Instead, it is a perfect example of an eastern NC restaurant that provides an excellent prix-fixe meal with simple, informal, and friendly local charm. ”
