George Petrelli Steak House

We had high expectations but was overall disappointed. We made reservations for a Friday night at 7pm. When we arrived, the whole restaurant was empty. This gave us pause, but we decided to stay anyway. Server was rushed at the table, but the service overall was slow. Food was okay. For a “family owned” restaurant, we expected better quality. The ranch was not good. The ravioli was comparable to frozen. The chicken wings were so over fried that the meat was mushy. Steaks were priced reasonably for a “famous steakhouse” but not worthy of the quality. Everything just left us feeling disappointed. The check was also disastrous. It was not itemized, it was like a print out from an old register with just numbers. Find better options in LA. We were in town for such a short trip and really hoped this would be a highlight. Total bill with tip: $410 (5 people)

The food was amazing and the service was excellent. From the time we entered the restaurant until we left we received perfect service. From the drinks, to onion soup to the salad. And the New York steak was amazing. If you are looking for a great steakhouse come here.

Came here to have dinner near LAX and pass some time before my flight. Nice ambience in the restaurant, local crowd, would of been nice to have some music playing (either something over the speakers or a local artist). Very quick bar service and honestly I was surprised I was the only patron at the bar on a Friday. Had the open face steak sandwich and a couple of old fashions with my meal and then after to burn time before going to the airport. The steak was cooked perfectly and the food was tasty. Honestly this place should be busier than it was, nice time and dinner here. Also there was plenty of parking at no charge which is nice in LA.

Had such a great experience. The entire staff was so welcoming. First place my family and I have been to in a long time where they constantly asked if we needed anything else. Filled our water glasses without even asking us. The food was really good. The atmosphere was exactly what I was expecting and we had a great birthday celebration. Definitely would recommend and go back.

Enjoyed my Friday night out at this establishment. Took my in laws out to eat. Great music, Great tasting food, Good service. I am big on being acknowledged when I step into a place of business. Overall A+!

The best pork chops - tender and flavorful! Per my Auntie, the lamb chops were huge and delicious. Our meals came with mixed vegetables or green beans, baked potato or sweet potato or french fries, soup - French Onion or vegetable or beef noodle, and salad.

I have lived in Los Angeles most of my life and am saddened that this is the first time I've had a chance to eat at this restaurant. The steaks are absolutely perfect. I ordered a rib eye steak, cooked medium, with shrimp, baked potato and vegetables period. I normally don't finish all my food. But this time, I could not stop. If you want a steak done right, please stop in.

We were looking for a new steak house to try and it being Xmas eve we visited G. Petrelli's on the suggestion of a friend who frequented this place decades back. We took the recommendations of our server and ordered the cowboy steak and the filet mignon. The steaks came out as ordered and by themselves quite tasty. Their wine selections are decent. The service is well...I didn't feel very welcomed by the hostess and our server was, well maybe she was just tired. I really enjoyed our bartender, he gave us some good laughs. Lastly, it is time to take the plastic barriers down. Would I come back? When I come back to this part of town, absolutely. I will give it another try.

This place has been a staple in LA for a very long time. My grandfather would come here when he worked for Hughes aircraft in the 50's and my mom would visit here years after while it was in its prime. Lots of history inside with framed pictures of old menus and celebrities that have visited. The place definitely has an old school feel to it and I could see how it could turn a younger crowd away. I was a little uneasy visiting since I hadn't been since I was a kid but to my surprise the service was fantastic and the quality of the meat in the burger I had was some of the best I've had. Add the blue cheese crumbles and you have a really special quality burger. Place needs a little resurgence but would hate to see it go. I can see why this place was "it" years ago. Give it a chance, you might just love it.

Great old school steakhouse. Their meat is excellent and the drinks are strong. Great value. Went with a group friends for birthday celebration and we all loved it.

Thank you, Marie for the great Father's Day dinner Thank you so much ordered a primary dinner to go as my wife wasn't capable of going today. Had the prime rib, baked potato cream, corn salad what feast a prime rib was tender and juicy the cream corn was delicious and how can you be the baked potato?

We live down the street from George Petrelli's and we just came here for the first time at the beginning of this year and this place is fantastic! The interior has that old skool steakhouse vibe - But it is lit a little too bright for me to be a true old skool vibe. and their bar has a beautiful rock wall and padded vinyl on the bar & booths. Frank Sinatra music plays in the background. We started off with a cup of French Onion Soup ($5.95) and a cup of the New England Clam Chowder ($7.00) and I would give both of them 4 stars. They were good, but I've had better (the French Onion soup at the Kettle in Manhattan Beach is the best I've ever had and is the gold standard) I've had the ribeye here and it's a 5, but the show stopper that we keep coming back for is the cheeseburger ($17) and served at a perfect medium rare is just to die for! (See picture) The fries are exactly as expected. My girlfriend upgraded to a baked potato for $3.00. The burgers here are so good because the beef is Angus beef ground in house and it is absolutely one of the best burgers in town. A solid 5 star burger!

Honestly, the best burger in town. Juicy, char grilled taste, filling and seasoned so darn well. Fricken love it. Plus, you get good friendly attentive service in a steakhouse environment. The cheeseburger is now $21 and to upgrade to a baked potato is an extra $3. BF got his baked tater fully loaded and it was an extra $4 for a bacon (worth it, so smoky and generous portion!). Total for two burgers + tax and tip was $68 tho. Again, so good but not a place I can go on the regular, but you will not be disappointed.

Great food, good service. This old school steakhouse has something for everyone. The steaks aren't cheap but worth every penny. The portions are huge and include soup, salad, and sides. The steaks are always well seasoned but occasionally overcooked. Dress as casual or as dressy as you want. I like to sit in the bar/lounge area when I'm dressed very casual.

The food was amazing the prime rib was cooked to perfection and the cheese cake was also very good awesome service will come back for sure

Love this restaurant for date night with the hubby. We have been here a couple times now and have had great experiences. The service is great, they are very attentive and kind. Even on the busy of nights we didn't feel forgotten and food turn around is very reasonable. The steak is the star of the show/restaurant. It always has been good perfect to order and super flavorful. Its a restaurant to try and keep on rotation.

After my 3rd or 4th recent visit, I had given them many chances to improve but, alas, it was still a really unpleasant experience. The service is as awful and rude as possible. One minus star. The waiters make you feel like they are doing you a favor serving you!! They refuse to spilt any check $$ so that if there's a group, arguing is guaranteed every time!! They charge $5 for white bread each basket that is small and mediocre The food was most just fair tasting but definitely overpriced. Any substitute is charged for. The place was nearly empty but they jammed us (7) into a small booth for some reason. Used to be an upscale place but sadly no more. Much better places around for steaks

I've been going here since before the pandemic- I don't care what anyone else says, this is the best steak in LA! Not up for debate. Now if you like your steaks with a ton of seasonings- don't come here. But if you're a REAL steak eater, like the Ron Swanson type- come here. Immediately. I think they dry age their steaks and just the quality is unmatched. The staff are OGs. It's giving 1900 mob vibes and Sophie is the boss! Lol Any who my only wish is that they would bring back their house made steak sauce. That's the only reason I don't go as often as I used too. A1 just won't do

Food is great. They have amazing prime rib which is hard to find nowadays. The service is slow and hectic, the place is quite noisy. We were seated at a booth yet were able to hear the full conversation the people next table were having.

Saw a review from Father's Day and I felt compelled to comment on my experience that day. We came in (4 of us) after my sons football game around 4pm. We knew it would be busy and we're prepared to either wait long, or not even be able to eat there because of the holiday and having knowledge that other people had reserved in advance. The hostess was very polite and explained that there could be a wait for inside but we are free to pick a place outside. We opted for an outside seating (by the entrance door). We were seated within 2 minutes. We noticed many families coming in and were seated immediately (maybe because they weren't 30mins late). The line never grew crazy and the place inside and outside was busy. All the waiters and waitress seemed to get everyone's food on time and overall service was great. We got out drinks no less than 2 mins after ordering. Bread was served quick. Our orders and side came in with 5 mins( salad and soup) and main course with 10mins. Food was great as usual. Steak was cooked to perfection, kids burger was juicy and flavorful, Kids spaghetti was delicious, and my wife's lasagna was nice and hot with the cheese perfectly melted... We gone here the last 21/2 years since moving to Culver City and never have they disappointed. We come here without a reservation and they always accommodate. Last holiday we went here was new years. It was super packed but still got seated within 15 minutes! Some places even with a reservation they make you wait 20-30mins... I recommend this place to all. Great place for a drink great place for dinner with the family!

We recently visited there for my long time friends birthday. We hadn't got together for a long time and we were very excited to finally visit Petrelli's. He had told me so much about it and I have lived on the west side since 1986 and never visited there. I ordered the double fillet and my husband ordered the porterhouse steak. My filet came on the first round over cooked, then they brought me a new steak and it was raw. I sent it back a third time and it came back raw again. My husband's was also raw through and through and his was sent back twice and never made right. Actually the waiter kind of laughed and Shrugged It Off. By the time all these attempts to correct our steaks were made, our entire table had finished their meals. We didn't want to hold everybody up as they travel from far away so we just continue to not eat our meals and went on to our cake. The next day we called the restaurant and got the Petrelli daughter on the phone and told her of our experience. She acted disinterested on the phone and no offer to make it right. I guess there was a reason I had not ever visited there before and I clearly will never go there again. And my friend that was ranting and raving about it was so upset that this happened to us. I'm sure he won't be returning either. He was very disappointed in the service and that we did not get to eat our meal.

Your girl loves a dirty martini. Came here to make the most of the fading weekend, get a dirty Belvedere martini (or two), and sit at the bar enjoying the ambiance of a new (to me) steakhouse. Drink was strong, drink was good. Ended up ordering food. No complimentary bread. Boo to that. No wedge salad, either. Double boo. But house salad, complete with slice of canned beet, was just fine. Spinach and ricotta ravioli was good, and the portion was big enough for two of us. I also got a baked potato. It was $8. That was excessive, imo. Came with whipped butter and sour cream and option of green onion, which was nice. All in all, a nice place to go grab a drink and an $8 potato. Will be back.

Event -bar service just fair-wine not so hot. Food was not great. Very bland. Salad was drenched in dressing and inedible. Chickens d pasta only fair. Not great quality..

Always my hubby's favorite for 30+ years. Delicious food, great drinks, superior service. Fantastic steaks, burgers. Old school ambiance.

Old school steakhouse. Our usual gathering for Thanksgiving and Christmas or birthday dinner. Decent food with decent price.

For what this place is I give it a five star because our families will be back. You can't beat the price.. It's like the place hasn't changed since 1931. The place has been around for 80+years & it's like it was. So for our family it's a go to for various reasons. The number 1 reason is because the food is really good. Our favorites were the bone in Filet & the Prime Rib both cooked/tasted excellent. Keep in mind that this is not a boujie place, it's very old school upscale dineresk. I posted pictures so you get the picture. From our perspective the food is delicious, the cost is less the other comparables. It's great for families & very accommodating. The service was also great. We will be back. Happy eating!!

Food: Appetizers are really bad (2 stars at best) Steaks are quite good (4 stars) Sides are decent (3 stars) Service: Very good. (4 stars) Servers were on it. We sat next to the kitchen door... cooks were singing the whole time and the servers kept going in and yelling at them... very amusing for us! It honestly most would have been put off by the off-singing. Decor: (1 star) oh man it's so old and dated. They need to gut the old booths and add tables and paint the joint. It's like a maze of office cubicles inside. This is the worst part of the experience. Yes!!! We will go back. The steaks are tasty and that is why we went and we will return. The steaks!

Took a gaggle or friends here the other night for steaks and drinks. The whole staff was very accommodating to your large party. Everyone's food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The martinis were delish. It's a wonderful neighborhood gem.

I had the filet mignon for the first time. It was so tender and cooked perfectly! I usually get the cowboy steak, but have found my new favorite. And the service was great as always!

Here's what I usually order from your steakhouse... In which I only paid 85 maybe $90 a plate in which the other night you tried to get $160 from me... by the way this lobster is at least 10 to 14 ounces....

The first thing is that this place is nice and quiet. The service is very good. The dining area was very clean and well lit. Our bus person was very attentive. Our server was very polite, and kind. Food timing was incredible. We ordered soup and salad for starters, salad very fresh and soup was excellent ( French onion ) As we finished the entree. Our main course was served. Gentle banter with server Cocktails we very refreshing. No fast food here. Great , relaxing time.

The best meat in town! Steaks are flavorful and amazing snd large portions! Burgers are so good no condiments are needed. Pasta sauce is made in house and delicious sausages or meatballs on various pasta dishes. Large menu with something for everyone! Friendly and professional servers and comfortable restaurant. Decorated beautifully for all major holidays. Holiday menus offered as well. Been going for 50 years and always wonderful!! Only 5 min from LAX Not to be missed!!!! And don't forget the delicious hot fudge sundae!!!

Never been to this restaurant before although I have driven past it many times. My best friend LOVES Filet Mignon, so he wanted to try a new "streak house" and he chose Petrelli's. Saturday night 6:20 PM. The restaurant was practically empty. We were actually greeted by an older woman using a walker. Ok. We were seated and our waitress, was pleasant. My friend ordered a gin and tonic and I ordered an Espresso Martini. I inquired as to what coffee liqueur they used. The waitress said Kaluha. I declined because an espresso martini should only have vodka in it and Kaluha will introduce rum. She was not aware of that. I then ordered a French 75, a popular and widely served cocktail. She said she had never hear of it and went to the bar to order our drinks. She returned moments later to say the bartender did not know what a French 75 was. I explained. One of the ingredients is sparkling wine, She responded "we don't have any open sparkling wine.". This is 2023 and the "bartender" does not know this widely served and popular cocktail. They need a new bartender. This definitely "old school" dining. Choice of salad, etc with each entree'. The wine we orders was a J. Lohr 2000 cabernet. It was exquisite. A high point of the evening. My friend was served his filet, rare. Perfectly cooked and was delicious. I ordered the grilled Salmon. VERY good. The food did not disappoint, which is the ultimate denominator. The service was excellent even with the homey banter. In closing, great food is great, but great ambiance and a good dining experience is just as important. This restaurant still operates as if it is 1979. It is not. Although the prices are definitely 2003. We both decided this would be our one and only visit

Midweek meeting with new client--Only ordered burger and fries WINNER WINNER Service was friendly and appropriate Traditional restaurant setting--no problem

Visiting SoCal and was wanting to try a steak from a place we have never visited before. Found this place near our Airbnb and decided to give it a try! It was a little tricky finding the entrance to this restaurant but eventually we made way and was seated immediately. We got lucky? Because it was literally empty when we arrived and only started to get busy once we finished ordering. I ordered the RibEye steak which came with a baked potato and veggies. Very very tasty and I finished it! Needed a little salt on the steak but nothing to extreme. Each entree came with a French onion soup or beef noodle. I tried the beef noodle and my boyfriend tried the French onion, he enjoyed eating both. Like literally cleaned the bowls clean. Also came with a side salad. This restaurant get very fancy. Servers were well dressed and the restaurant had the dark red furniture and classy vibe. Def enjoyed visiting this place.

If you're not going to Petrelli's for steak, you're not livin. This place is old school in the best way possible and the steaks are A+. Get the filet and a dry martini, and you're set. Don't expect mixology cocktails and fancy sides- this place is meat and potatoes, a lovely little salad and french onion soup. If you like Vito, Taylor's, Taix or Musso and Frank, this place is for you.

Recently visited George Petrelli Steak House and was a pleasant experience. The food and service was very good and enjoyed. If you're looking for fancy and modern this probably isn't for you as the decor probably hasn't been redone in a while. On the other hand they have a long history of taking good care of customers, putting out good food at a fair price. I look forward to returning when I'm in town.

Food is good, price is reasonable, service is fast n efficient. Parking is not a problem. The place is not upgraded, but it's fine, otherwise they will pass on the expenses to their customers. Side orders great also.

Ended up a little late past our reservation time, so the rude lady up from told us we could only be seated outside. I would have understood had there not been a ton of open tables with barely anyone seated. Also, had she not been so rude about it! Now I'm stuck trying to find another place for Father's Day and everywhere is booked. Sad that we were so excited to try this place! Due to that rude person, we will never get to actually try the food.

Food,Service was good, ambiance is not that good. Only reason I ate there was because of my brother in law suggested it for his birthday.

Huge steaks meet old Hollywood. We sat under the picture of the MGM Lion being recorded. Lots of great vintage photos and dark charm. (Dimmed lights) You can totally feel how movie deals were and are made in this place between executives. Experienced staff and incredible steaks. The place is super old in a good way. The plates have the year 1931 on them. Glassware is very heavy. It's hard to find this level of experience anywhere else in the city. Bread came out instantly and the super creamy butter is a real treat. The quality of food is among the best LA has to offer. I always like to have at least one criticism, the vegetables here a bit cold. Who eats vegetables at a steak house anyway?

How this place wasn't busier on a Sunday night is beyond believable. We went in for a buddy's birthday party wanting to buy him a steak dinner and were not disappointed in the slightest. The food was insane and a steal of a price, one of the best ribeyes I've ever had in LA and it was only $40 while coming with a salad, a soup, and a baked potato with enough sour cream butter and chives to satisfy my midwestern gluttony. Becky our server had personality to match this great leather booth old school spot and brought the martinis that were only second to the steak. Needless to say we're coming back and back again.

We have enjoyed dining at Petrelli's regularly for several years. Last night was no exception. We had Carol as our server, and she was very pleasant, with good attention to detail. The food is consistently first rate! Great steaks, plus soup and salad, starch and vegetables. We see many of the same people dining when we are there, which to us is a good sign.

My husband and I went to Petrellis for dinner. Service was fine. My husband had the Rib Eye steak and I had the Shrimp dinner. We both had the French Onion soup which is one of our favorite soups. My husband was not happy with his steak, he asked for it to be medium rare; unfortunately, his steak was tough. A disappointment for $40. I had to saute it at home the next night to tenderize it so he could eat it.

Friday was a good friend's birthday and she made reservations there. It was a nice quiet atmosphere, the host seated us right away. The waitress Carol was very nice and pleasant. So while they give you a nice amount of food, we had spaghetti meatballs, lamb chops, baked potatoe and assorted veggies and spinach ravioli with salads and french onion soup. the food was ok it does need a little bit of seasoning especially for the price, its a tad pricey. The desert was a nice scoop of French vanilla ice cream

Updated: It hurts my heart to write this review because I have been going to Petrelli's steakhouse for over 20 years. My favorite dish is the filet mignon and their salads are excellent. On 9/23/22, I went to Petrelli's and I sat at the bar. After sitting there for a few moments, I felt something on the back of my ankle so I rubbed my ankle. Then, I felt something on my leg and I rubbed my leg. To make a long story short I was bitten by fleas about 10 times while I was sitting at the bar waiting for my food. I was so horrified that I asked the bartender to pack up my food and I went out and ate my food in the car. I have been scratching ever since. I'm really sad that this happened because I will not be able to go back to Petrelli's even though they have great food. I was not scratching before I came to the restaurant. I was not scratching when I used their restroom. I only started scratching after I sat at the bar and felt something on my leg. I hope they read this review and sprinkle some borax on the carpet that covers the side of the bar and the floor. I told a few people what had happened and they didn't even say that they were sorry. Not a good luck. I will spare you the pictures of my bites. Update: I called the restaurant just to let them know that I had written a yelp review and I talked to the daughter of the owner who was completely dismissive of my concerns. She said that no one else has been bitten so she didn't think that I had been bitten in the restaurant. She continued to talk over me and when I tried to explain or have a cordial conversation, she abruptly interrupted so communication was difficult. This is really sad. I used to always speak to Sophie when I went in and I would make her smile. She was always nice to me and so this is not a reflection on her, I think her daughter could learn some things about customer service. Response to Petrelli's Rebuttal of my review. I understand that you would need to counter what I've said in order to protect the reputation of your restaurant. What I did not expect from a professional was for you to LIE. If there was a service animal in your restaurant, I would have included that in my original review. There was "no dog" in the restaurant when I was there. As for your mother, Sophie, I have more respect for her than to call her an "old lady." She has always been nice to me and if I were to come back to the restaurant, she would validate that I have always been nice to her as well. I described her as "an older woman with a blonde updo." The treatment that I received in your restaurant is duplicated here in your rebuttal to my review. You have lied about the service animal being in the restaurant probably to cover the fact that your restaurant has fleas. I told the bartender to pack up my food because something was biting me. He did not even acknowledge me just brought me two boxes to pack up my food. I also asked one of the female servers behind the booth, if I could have plastic utensils and I repeated to her that I had received multiple bites while sitting at your bar that is covered in carpet. She said nothing to me and just handed me the silverware. As for my yelp review, I did call you first and I was not going to write a review at all, but the treatment that I received from you and the condescending manner in which you dealt with me (like you are doing here), made the decision for me. I do not take delight in writing a bad review. As you see my review begins with the sentence that it breaks my heart to write the review. Just because I did not remember your mother's name does not mean that she is any less important to me. People forget names all the time. That is why I asked you for her name and that is why I wanted to speak to her because I was sure that she would never treat me the way that you did during our phone conversation. I'm troubled that you felt the need to lie in order to make your story credible by adding the fact that there was a dog in the restaurant when there was no dog in your restaurant. Perhaps, if you took half the time to have a pleasant conversation with me then you did to make up your story to rebuttle my review, we would not be here. You don't have to worry because I will not come back to your restaurant. I have never been treated as badly as you have treated me here and in your restaurant. It is clear that you do not care about your patrons or maybe you only care about some of them. Feel free to rebuttle again what I have written here and I will answer you. Your restaurant has fleas. Deal with it.

Their steaks are always on point! Tender and flavorful. It's definitely one of the best steakhouses in L.A (culver city)

Love this place! Very old-school steakhouse. I've been twice and both times the food was excellent (had a rib eye and their burger). But even more important, it's easy. There's plenty of parking, its easy to get a table, no reservation required, big comfy booths, no loud music that makes having a conversation impossible. Prices are reasonable by LA standards.

The insid furniture is dated. Food is mediocre. Vegetables were over cooked, garlic bread is flavorless, salads had way too much dressing just plopped on top, rib eyes were thin cuts and required steak sauce to eat - absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. Also, when we requested a bit of cheese on a baked potato, they just slapped on a slice of cheeseburger cheese. The only things we liked were the Moscow mules we ordered and the service. One star for each of those items.

Great old school steakhouse. Great service. I would definitely go back. The drinks were fantastic.

This place is old school and love it!! The food was amazing and the portions big, you get your money's worth. The wait staff very attentive and the old school music is amazing!!

This place is Ol' school and still has a good steak and polite staff. We've been in several times food and the service is always good.

GEORGE PETRELLI'S Steak House is an iconic LA landmark located at 5615 South Sepulveda Blvd in Culver City and can be reached by calling (310) 397-1438 for reservations. They currently offer outdoor dining and they comply with all current CDC guidelines as all servers wear masks as well as guard shields. Known for steak, ribs and seafood, they also have Italian entrees and tonight I had the Lasagna with sausage, and Arnold Palmer as well as the House Salad and it was delicious as to get homemade Lasagna in LA is problematic. There is a great history to the place as the walls are full of stories and images of some of the most famous sports figures and celebrities who dined at GEORGE PETRELLI'S. The menu is quite extensive and what impressed was ownership's love of country with an American flag positioned in a stand right as you enter. These are good people who are patriots! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I really enjoyed my time there. Definitely perfect service. I love the steak, cream cheese cake, and all.

I went here with a party of 7. Our waitress was very kind and the food was stupendous. The beef ravioli was great and it was piping hot and the ravioli was on point. The salads were also just as good. The expwirence kind of feels like going to your grandma's house. The food is your basic steakhouse food.

Great iconic steaks for many a generation. Culver City classic. You won't be disappointed!

I walked in and it was just like I imagined I ordered the prime rib and lobster tail. It was hugeee. I also had a salad which was delicious cream corn ok appetizer chicken wings delicious. On top of that a Cadillac Margarita delicious. Everyone else had steaks and they say they were good. Service was good after I had to flag someone. I will say some of booths are kinda small for 4 but we moved. I will come back

I come here for every birthday, which was yesterday. The Porterhouse is my go-to steak, always cooked to perfection and I always end my meal with Tiramisu. The wait staff are always attentive and checking in.
