Old Homestead Steak House

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A New York Institution, Brought to the Jersey Shore

The Old Homestead Steak House carries a pedigree that few restaurants anywhere can match. Founded in New York City in 1868, it stands as one of the country's oldest steakhouses — a place that has defined what serious beef cookery looks like for generations. The Atlantic City location, set inside the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, brings that same standard across the river, giving guests on the East Coast another chance to experience what made the original a landmark.

The Beef

At the heart of the Old Homestead's reputation is its trademarked domestically raised, hand-massaged Wagyu beef. This is not a detail borrowed from a trend — it is a house signature, developed and refined over the life of the original New York location and carried intact to Atlantic City. The steakhouse format here is unambiguous: this is a place built around the quality of its meat, prepared with the confidence that comes from over 150 years of practice.

Wine Spectator recognized the depth of the program with its Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks to the seriousness of the cellar and its ability to stand alongside a menu of this weight.

Private Dining and Special Occasions

For groups, the Old Homestead offers private dining rooms accommodating between 10 and 75 guests. The team handles everything from intimate dinner parties to milestone celebrations, with dedicated personal service throughout. It is the kind of setting where the occasion itself feels looked after, not just the food.

The Setting

Inside Borgata, the steakhouse occupies a position among Atlantic City's most regarded dining rooms. The atmosphere is suited to an unhurried dinner — table service, a serious wine list, and the kind of room where conversation carries easily. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a regular making the trip specifically for the Wagyu, the experience is grounded in something real: a steakhouse tradition that predates almost everything around it.
