McGraw's Steak Chop & Fish House

I have been visiting McGraw’s for years. I used to go there when in was called Stiney’s. I am surprised that I don’t already have a review on here for McGraw’s. I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t have been a five star as I am giving it now. I had the ribeye steak during this visit and it was delicious. The pictures include the chocolate cheesecake that we had for dessert. I also included a picture of the Purdue Rowing Team practicing on the Wabash river.

Food was really good. We found out that if you don't have a reservation, you will be seated at the bar or by the front entrance. Server was good.

Graduation dinner for the new grad! Loves beef so we had to go here. Waited outside at the scenic look of the Wabash for like 30min before reservation, very punctual, and had an excellent Malbec from the wine list. The service forgot items from orders because of the busy graduation crowd but the hospitality was great from multiple bussers. The ribeye was very juicy and the tiramisu very tasty too. Would definitely drive back for a dinner.

The food is incredible, pricey but so worth it. I had the ribeye and it was juicy and delicious. All the food had flavor and was cooked upon perfection. First time here on a Friday and loved it. Will come back again!

Excellent in every respect. Steaks were tender and prepared perfectly. Appetizers included raw Chesapeake Bay oysters on the half shell that were so good we ordered seconds. All served with a view of the banks of the Wabash River. Best restaurant in Indiana.

Didn't find it pleasant. We went for a family dinner and got seated next to the bathrooms. There was no ambiance; it was loud, and I could barely hear the waiter. The food was okay, nothing exciting. Definitely, the dessert was the best part of the whole dinner. I suppose I was expecting more when I heard it's been a favorite in town for so many years...

Don't let the outside looks fool you. I wasn't sure what to expect as we dove up to the restaurant. When you walk in you are greeted by this rustic hardwood decor. It was just beautiful. We asked to have a view of the river. Unfortunately, due to how early in the year it is that view wasn't as beautiful as we thought it will be later in the year. Before I go further. We did call the morning of to try to reserve a river view. We left a voice message with our request. We received a return call by 4 PM and were given an option of 5 or 8 PM. We chose 8. We arrived 15 minutes early and our hostess seated us immediately. The restaurant was nearly full. Diners' attire ranged from street clothes to suits and ties. So dress how you feel comfortable. We ordered the Firecracker shrimp. It was simply perfect. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The shrimp was lightly breaded. This allowed the shrimp to be the star. The taste was just lovely. Our soup was French onion with gruyere cheese. It was very good. Excellent flavor! We both had the Filet mignon. Cooked to perfection and so tender it melted in your mouth as you chewed. The rice pilaf was good. Not dry nor overcooked. I added a catfish filet to my meal. The catfish was breaded slightly crisp but not soggy. It flaked as you cut it. Overall it was an exceptional dining experience! The food, the presentation, and the atmosphere all worked in concert to allow us to have a memorable evening. We'll definitely return the next time we are in town! Final note. Call ahead to reserve a seat. It's not required but it does help.

Birthday dinner with one of my very best friends. Food, service and atmosphere all top notch!
