Quick info
About Emily's Steakhouse
Emily's Steakhouse is a small, family-owned British restaurant at 24-26 Monk St in Derby, with a small dining room. The menu runs to 56 dishes and puts oversized cuts first, including a 32oz steak and a 24oz "Mega Rump". Steaks arrive with chips, and the home made onion ring stack comes on the side. Starters include crab pot and toast, king prawns and salmon parcels. Because space is limited, reservations are needed in advance. Creamy pepper and black pepper sauces are offered with the steaks.

Customer Review Summary
Steak is the draw, and the large rump cuts come up most, from the 32oz almighty rump to the 24oz Mega Rump, which one diner says was nearly as big as the plate. Reviewers describe steaks cooked as requested, from medium rare to a 16oz ribeye that came out just right. Chips are close behind, crisp outside and fluffy inside, along with a stack of homemade onion rings. Starters such as the crab pot and toast, portabello mushrooms with garlic, and king prawns also earn praise, and many mention friendly, welcoming service, including with a group of seven. Criticism is minor but specific. One reviewer found the 12oz rib eye less flavorful than hoped, another says the sauce portions are small for a big steak, and one suggests serving the onion rings in a basket because the bottom ones turned damp with oil. Others say the room gets loud when large parties dominate and that it isn't the prettiest place. One diner who couldn't finish the 32oz rump had the waitress wrap it to go.

“We had dinner recently at Emily's, our second time visiting. Like the first time the food was very good. Wholesome, unpretentious and simple. The decor was in a similar vein, very much a family owned restaurant. Highly recommended”

“Been to Emily’s a few times but this was the first time for a while. Must say Emily is an excellent host and makes you feel super welcome. I went for the 32oz for £40 because I was feeling hungry. Came out cooked to perfection and was delicious. If you’re going to tackle something that size though you probably need a couple of sauces. That’s my only qualm really the sauce portions are a bit small, but they make up for that in taste non the less. Parking at Abbey street carpet is a couple of quid 50 for 2 hours and it doesn’t take card but does you can pay on MiPermit”

“This is a lovely independent Steakhouse near the centre of Derby. A nice welcome as we arrived and a nice dining area. We both ordered the 24oz Mega Rump which came with salad and chips and the steak was nearly as big as the plate. Cooked perfectly to Medium Rare it was lovely, along with a tower of home made onion rings, although i would recommend they put them in a basket as the bottom ones were damp with oil by the time we got to them. Other than that, a superb meal. Thank you.”

“Fantastic night at Emily's, ordered a 16oz Ribeye, advised how I wanted it cooked and it came out just perfect. It isn't the prettiest place, but the food, service, attention to detail was impeccable. Definitely worth a visit, I know I shall be back.”
- Stephen Mason
