I came to the Peddler Steak House on a Friday evening to join a large group and the place was pretty much packed, so they are doing good business. The vibe is definitely "old school" as other reviews have mentioned. Dim lighting, no windows, tables close together. It's the kind of joint your grandparents went to 50 years ago and still go to today.
The menu is simple, and I knew they were known for their prime rib cooked medium-rare with a sweet potato. The meat was cooked to perfection, well seasoned, and flat-out delicious! I ate every bite. I ordered some horseradish sauce on the side but I really didn't need it since the meat was so flavorful.
The sweet potato was good too and came with cinnamon sugar and butter. I didn't order dessert, but the desserts I saw looked really good.
This was a splurge meal for me since it is a bit more pricey than what I normally like to pay, but the service was very good, the food was great and you do get meat, a side, bread, and a salad bar so overall I think the price equaled what the experience was.
The Peddler has apparently been around forever and there is a reason for that. Old School steak house that keeps it simple. This place deserves some love Raleigh!
