Quick info
About Deluxe Steakhouse Bideford
Deluxe Steakhouse Bideford is a barbecue restaurant in Bideford, at 16 High St, where steaks are dry aged for 28 days and cooked on a real charcoal fire grill. That ageing and grilling gives the kitchen a clear focus, and cuts on the menu include ribeye and tomahawk. Sauces come alongside the steaks, and starters range from halloumi fries to calamari and jumbo prawns. Vegan dishes sit on the menu too, so a table with mixed diets can order from the same kitchen. Chocolate brownie with ice cream is the dessert to finish on. A cocktail list runs through the bar, and the Bottomless Brunch pairs two hours of unlimited cocktails with food.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the steak, with the ribeye described as tender enough that there was no need to chew, and one steak board praised as cooked exactly as requested. Close behind are the cocktails, including a bottomless brunch with plenty of food, and a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream. The sirloin, halloumi fries, calamari and chicken shish also get mentions, and several describe staff as friendly, attentive without hovering, and helpful in explaining dishes. Quiet evenings come up a few times, and one visitor found some first-choice dishes unavailable. The most detailed complaint comes from a two-star reviewer who found the starters poor: jumbo prawns that were tiny, "chicken strips" resembling cheap nuggets, three mushrooms under melted cheese, and frozen garlic bread, all arriving after a long delay. That reviewer rated the ribeye and Diane sauce average, though the husband enjoyed the tomahawk, and found the decor dated with sticky menus. Another reviewer noted sauces were included in the steak price, and one closed on an asparagus side served alongside the steak.

“Don’t bother with starters. We did 3 £14 so I suppose you get what u pay for. They took close to a hour to come out. The jumbo prawns were tiny and there were 4 of them. The sauce was very nice but could have done with some fresh bread to dip instead of 2 anemic looking bits of frozen garlic bread. The “chicken strips” were a breaded bit of chicken that’s mashed into a shape and sliced. Like a cheap nugget. The mushrooms were 3 mushrooms covered in melted cheese. No seasoning. My ribeye steak & the Diane sauce were average. My husband had the tomahawk which he enjoyed. The decor is dated & tacky. The menus are sticky and don’t give much information on the food. The restaurant & toilets aren’t very clean. It just feels a bit dingy. The staff are polite but just seem to stand in a group by the bar waiting for the chef to press their bell.”

“Excellent steak! An unusual touch was serving asparagus along with the other sides. The most delicious warm chocolate brownies with ice cream and artistic chocolate drizzle! An lovely staff too 😊 Thank you, Deluxe Bideford.”

“We came to this restaurant when we were on holiday and had such a lovely meal. The staff were fantastic and the food was incredible. We had a rib eye and sirloin, as well as halloumi fries and calamari and both my husband and I were so impressed with how good all the food was. Will 100% be returning when we are next on holiday in the area.”

“We travelled up to Bideford last month to visit our children and spotted this lovely restaurant, so we made sure to try it out on this visit – and we’re so glad we did! From start to finish the experience was fantastic. Amelia and all the staff were absolutely amazing – so warm, welcoming and attentive without being intrusive at all. We ordered the steak board and it was simply outstanding. Every element was cooked to absolute perfection, with rich, exceptional flavours throughout, and prepared exactly how we asked for it. It’s easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re visiting Bideford – highly recommended to anyone looking for top quality food and great service!”
