The Peddler Steak House - Spartanburg: Reviews & Ratings

The menu is all verbal; however, I found a listing online. The ribeye was custom house cut and cooked rare to perfection. It was so tender you could practically cut with a fork. The baked potato was perfectly soft and loaded with side cups of bacon bits, sour cream and cheese. The salad you select from a card with as many toppings as you wish at no additional charge. The best was the smoked oysters I selected for mine. I could have eaten a bowl full. AND the tables were made from old Singer sewing machines.

The total ambiance is outstanding in every way. I want to personally thank the entire staff for all of your hard work. As a former food critic in Boca Raton Florida, I would rate this as the best place for fine dining in our area. Congratulations on a job well done.

Phenomenal Service and Experience! From start to finish, the service at this steakhouse was absolutely phenomenal. Bri was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail of our dining experience was perfect. Our server went above and beyond — professional, personable, and truly made us feel welcome. The food was cooked to perfection, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. You can tell they take pride in both their food and customer service. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

Delicious food and really cute decor. Just be aware- no menus! Everything is verbal so add ons/ up charges can add up! And don’t forget Spartanburg city tax is a whopping 9%! Food and service were spot on. We will be back for sure

Much different from the greenville peddler... it's alive and bright. Nonetheless, both are charming in their own ways. Alex was such a polite and kind server. He was very attentive and knew his menu very well. He made excellent suggestions. The food was wonderful. I love my cowboy ribeye. Perfectly cooked with the steak fries that were served hot!

A lovely fine dining experience, with some uniqueness that I will remember. The menu is verbal, which is interesting! They cut the steaks in front of you, which also a nice touch. Our steak was very well cooked, even if the ribeye was a touch less tender than expected. We will absolutely be back — and you have to get the Mac & cheese!

Nestled in the heart of Spartanburg, The Peddler Steak House stands as a beacon for those who cherish an authentic steakhouse experience. Located at 149 W Main St, this unassuming gem offers an inviting atmosphere marked by tables crafted from vintage Singer sewing machines, blending rustic charm with a unique touch of history.

What sets The Peddler apart is its old-school approach—there are no printed menus. Instead, diners receive a verbal rundown of the selections, giving the experience a personalized feel. Patrons like Beth Bair have raved about the custom house-cut ribeye, cooked rare to perfection and boasting a tender texture that melts in your mouth. Accompaniments such as the perfectly soft baked potato, crowned generously with bacon bits, sour cream, and cheese, complement the steak beautifully. Not to be missed is the salad bar, where you can pile on as many toppings as you like at no extra cost—a highlight for many guests who delight in customizing their greens.

The Peddler’s culinary prowess extends beyond steak. The smoked oysters, described as addictively flavorful, offer a smoky bite that’s hard to forget. Service, consistently praised in reviews, shines with professionalism and warmth. Servers like Bri make the dining experience not just smooth but memorable, attending to every detail with a personal touch that enhances the inviting ambiance.

Hosting everything from intimate dinners to large gatherings, the steakhouse manages to balance attentive service with a lively, warm atmosphere. Whether enjoying a work party or a fine family dinner, guests experience top-notch hospitality paired with superb cuisine. The bourbon selection, noted by Tanya Bolton, is another nod to the care given to complementing the food with quality drinks.

One small caveat: with no physical menu, some dishes and add-ons may affect the final bill unexpectedly, and Spartanburg’s 9% city tax is noteworthy. However, these minor details hardly detract from a dining experience that many rate as the pinnacle of fine dining in the area.

For lovers of expertly prepared steaks, welcoming service, and a touch of local character, The Peddler Steak House in Spartanburg offers an exceptional, down-to-earth dining journey that feels special from start to finish.
