I wasn’t sure what to expect walking in, but we really enjoyed wayne steakhouse. We made a reservation and had a nice 4 top table. Crabmeat cocktail was great, the free house salad was excellent. We ordered a ribeye, filet, creamed spinach and German potatoes. Everything tasted great. The service was great, waiters were very nice. If I were to suggest improvement I would say: Fix the low quality music playing in the restaurant. Get better bread. Add more salt and butter to the steaks. Make the creamed spinach more creamy. Aside from that, I would definitely go back.

Peter Luger style and execution. Amazing BYOB steakhouse, one of the top in NJ. Old German style decor, not made for Instagram pics. You come here for the steak and the great service.

Took my mom for Mother’s Day can never go wrong with a steak . Was our first time in this place staff was really friendly. The food best quality . Everything was perfect. There was a table in front off me where the customers where really rude too staff and even cursed at a lady waiter very feminist. For god sakes it was Mother’s Day how can you scream and disrespect a woman like that . If you don’t want to go out on a special day don’t ruin other customers day. Very disappointed of this 2 man most likely dad and son .

Best service from beginning to end food was great my best Mother’s Day dinner. Appetizers in time steaks just hit the spot and sides broccoli was my very favorite. Felt like a queen. At some point there was a very rude customer demanding for food screaming at staff went in the kitchen cursing. I understand people have no manners. My table was on the other side off the dining room and I was able too hear him screaming.

We have been doing our “steak night” at WSH for over 2 years now. Vlora is awesome! She handled our “in loving memory” event for over 40 guys. She took care of us and made sure every detail was just perfect. The food and and service from the staff was flawless.

Had an amazing experience at WS! The quality of the food was superb - tenderness of the ribeye, temperature and flavor! I also wanted to eat the bowl of the onion soup that had such depth of flavor. Most importantly is the service provided by Vlora who worked like a machine and was always smiling and you can taste her love of her establishment in the food. I can easily see this being a ritual for any special occasion, even if just a nice night out with the family.
