Boyd’s Steakhouse

Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! As first time customers, the manager gave us a $ 10 gift card to return. We will definitely be back!

Was in Martinsburg and found Boyds… great ambiance and good drinks… food is ok… yes just ok but I would return because the service was outstanding. Give it a shot.

Coming back from Berkeley Springs, we stopped for a meal in Martinsburg. Consulted my Unilocalers and they never let me down. The Boyd’s Steakhouse apparently was some kind of speakeasy and it is full of charm and character. Wonderful cuisine way out here in the land of strip malls, truck stops and franchise fast foods, this is in the old part of town where it appears that it could be poised for a revival.
The food was wonderfully prepared, drinks were good, and huge portions. We started out with the calamari, which was nicely prepared. I had the Ribeye, not the aged Wagyu, which I wasn’t quite prepared for (pricey) so I opted for the normal cut and it was a bit overdone but still good. My daughter had a huge serving of mac and cheese and that was very well done as well.
Nice old world atmosphere, attentive service and it was packed even at 9 pm.

Been coming regularly for a year now, it just keeps getting better. The service and food are as good as any steakhouse I have ever encountered, it is fun to go to a place this good, locally owned where you really feel taken care of.

Just dined here tonight for the first time. We just arrived in Martinsburg from Las Vegas, so I must say, our dining expectations are pretty high. We were pleasantly surprised. From the beginning, we ordered lemon drop martinis, which were not on the menu. They gladly accommodated us and the cocktails were delicious! Our waiter, Mo just went out of his way to meet every request. He even had a waffle made for our daughter that wasn’t even on the menu. I will admit, the rib eye steak lacked a little bit of flavor, but I would still give this restaurant five stars considering that I have dined in the food mecca of the US. The food was above average, the service, impeccable!

Had dinner here last week and was very pleased. The staff were quick and friendly. The food excellent. The atmosphere is that of a funky 1920’s speakeasy. I would not have been surprised to see a flapper come dancing out of the back. I had the filet and it was wonderful. Eight bucks for a draft beer is a little pricey, but other than that no complaints, and I will recommend this place to my friends when they travel in the area.

Came here while staying in Harpers Ferry.
Great food, great prices and great atmosphere ! 10 oz sirloin dinner with 2 sides — $ 18 !!!
We had Robin as our server and she had the best recommendations.
I had the moonshine drink called Almost Heaven… Soooo delicious !
Cinnamon toast delight dessert 4 dollars!!!
I wish we could have tried the fried chicken and waffles… They ran out by the time we arrived which was an hour before closing

Great restaurant with great staff. The Crab soup was really great and the Steak prepared perfectly. Rebecca, our waitress, was top notch! Thanks for bringing a great restaurant to downtown Martinsburg. I can’t wait to dine at Boyd’s again.

Outstanding steak that actually melts in your mouth, the blue cheese crusted topping is like nothing I have experienced. The «tour» is a nice change in the dining experience. I would have never expected such a wonderful dining experience in downtown Martinsburg.

Five stars a million times. Holy cow where do I start. Ok, so we were looking for a new place not too far away, found this place on Unilocal and because it was open until 10 we chose it. So. BRACE YO SELF! We walked in the door and BAM a cute young girl in a white shirt and overalls with enough energy for 42 people greeted us. «HIII!!! How can I help you?!?» Me. «Uh I’m hungry.» So she says oh you’re hungry follow me! bounces around grabs some menus and walks us to our table but she walks us backwards telling us to watch our step the whole way. She seats us as bubbly as possible… Introduced us to Kira our waitress and bounces away. We had a little bit of trouble making our selection and Keira was very helpful she explained to us the difference between regular steak and Wagyu steak and we ended up ordering wagyu fillet for dinner which was absolutely amazing. Throughout dinner she came several times to check on us. This is one of the best dining experiences we have had in a very long time and we will be back to the steakhouse many many times not only because of the quality of food but because of the quality of service we received here, if you come to the steakhouse I recommend you ask for Keira she works Mondays and Saturdays.

Was looking for something other than a chain restaurant and found Boyd’s. This gem is in downtown Martinsburg. I had read about Boyd’s Steakhouse some time ago, and tucked it away for a later visit, but had forgotten about it until my recent search.
Arriving, the staff greeted us at the door and asked if we had a reservation. Not seeing that many people in the restaurant I thought that odd. The décor was like stepping back to an era in the past. Soon after being seated the place started filling up, and then understood the reason for the question about reservations.
The service was attentive and helpful, but not rushed. The menu was not large, but had a nice variation of seafood, fowl and of course beef.
We started with a salami and cheese appetizer, which can be had in a number of variations. Then followed by a salad. For my main course I chose Mrs Boyd’s 14 oz ribeye which was seasoned perfectly, not too salty and very moist. My number 1 gal had the Pork chop, with a side of scallops. The Pork chop was 2 ½ inches thick on a bed of mash potatoes. Again, not over seasoned and was very tender and moist. I don’t do scallops, but she said they were incredible.
We finished with tiramisu, which was the right touch for the meal. The meal was great, beginning to end and needed a box to take the left overs.
Boyd’s Steakhouse is a casual dining establishment with 5 star menu and service. We will definitely be returning. I highly recommend if your in the mood for something different. You won’t be disappointed

Service was exceptional, best filet I’ve ever eaten! I’ll def be back and highly recommend to anyone.

Atmosphere is awesome, but the food could have some work done. We went in with service for 8 and all food was slow in coming and the food was not prepared as ordered. Steaks were way overdone, the sides were soggy and the dessert did not have fresh fruit on it. For the price you pay the food should be to die for, this food was something I could have made on the backyard grill much better.
On a positive note, they do have Guinness on tap!

This is a must see. Tried several other spots in the area but this is the spot. Had a wonderful steak with two amazing sides. Oh man this hit the spot! Awesome atmosphere and excellent service. Be back tomorrow!

I found this little steak house on one of my weekend road trips. I had never been to Martinsburg and wandered around for a couple hours before deciding that Boyds was the place eat. I was by myself and sat at the bar… which was tended by the beautiful and talented, Karen… but PLEASE, don’t call her «Jersey»… A little chit chat and I ordered the 12oz strip with a side of mac & cheese. The salad was more than adequate and the dressing was good. The steak was cooked perfectly and the m&c was made in house. Both were tasty and nicely done. I had a carmel ice cream dessert with house made whipped cream… not out of a can. All things considered it was a great meal. I appreciated the great service and good food. Karen was an especially good bartender… and conversationalist. I’ll be back for sure.

HD has really made this a top-​notch place to enjoy a nice dinner.
High class, but inviting enough for your jeans too.
The steaks are great and the catfish was awesome too!
They also offer a creative selection of cocktails and craft brew — both of which I’ve enjoyed while sitting at that awesome bar.
Owner and management are extremely personable and make a point to make their guests feel comfortable.

The seating area is musty smelling and dark. Not romantic dark. More like «I’m trying to hide the age of the place“dark.
Our first time here, the hostess placed the menus face-​down so we could read the history of the place on the back. I couldn’t read it. It was too dark. It gave me the impression of a museum rather than an eatery.
They were good quality steaks, but they were small for the high price. The sides looked lonely in glass dishes. There is no complimentary starter (how about a little bread basket) and there were no refills on iced tea.
This place is located in a walkable town, but I’d be tempted to walk by if I came through again.

Entered the place 10 before closing time and had one of the best stake of my life.
Awesome place. Friendly staff and amazing food.
The owner Boyd. A really pleasant person.
Recommend this place highly.

Boyd’s is a very nice steakhouse. The steaks are tasty as is — no need for steak sauce, although they offer a nice selection of possible additions — and tender. The sides are delicious. The service is excellent, the setting is fun, and there are lots of clever touches on the menu. It is a definite step up from an Outback or a chain restaurant.
It’s not really fair to have to compare Boyd’s to four or five star restaurants in DC and Baltimore. The three stars I gave Boyd’s is the same three stars I gave to lots of perfectly satisfying but «nothing special» restaurants in Bethesda or Fell’s Point. There are restaurants that I *would* drive for an hour+ out of DC/​Baltimore to go to — Frederick’s The Wine Kitchen, for example. Boyd’s isn’t that level of special to be worth the long drive from DC or Baltimore.
On the other hand, my girlfriend was stationed for over a year out in the Potomac Highlands on medical student rotations, and so I spent lots of time in Petersburg, Martinsburg, and other places in that part of WV. Boyd’s is hands down the nicest restaurant we’ve eaten at in the region. The long drive from DC/​Baltimore to Boyd’s wouldn’t be worth it, but if I was instead coming from the west, Boyd’s would *definitely* be worth driving the same long drive from Petersburg to Boyd’s for a special meal.
So it is all context. If one is coming expecting a DC or Baltimore level four or five star restaurant experience, no, Boyd’s isn’t that. Boyd’s is a level of restaurant that if it were in DC or Baltimore, you’d be perfectly satisified after eating there, but it wouldn’t stand out from dozens of other perfectly satisifying restaurants in the same neighborhood. But Boyd’s isn’t *in* DC or Baltimore, where there are hundreds of restaurants to choose from. What is «nothing special» in DC or Baltimore, stands head and shoulders above the rest in Petersburg et al. Boyd’s is a three-​star DC restaurant out in a region where that level of restaurant is extremely rare. And the owners and staff of Boyd’s deserve a lot of kudos for accomplishing that.

Boyd’s Steakhouse=Great for Martinsburg, Ok for Everywhere Else
For the well travelled: If you want a decent meal in comparative splendor give it a shot
For Martinsburg residents: Now you don’t have to propose to your girl at Applebee’s
Ok so here’s it is if your expecting a DC/​Balt quality dinning experience don’t get your hopes up but for Martinsburg it might as well be the French Laundry.
To the uninitiated Martinsburg West Virginia is home to what I call «The Odd Squad». The Odd Squad is a unaffiliated band of mostly harmless drifters, weirdos, and recalcitrants that wander the streets of a otherwise nice Downtown while deterring legitimate commerce. I don’t say this to dissuade you from going but just be prepared. So with that said I have to give the owners of Boyd’s credit for taking the risk to put a «upscale» restaurant in Downtown Martinsburg. In addition they have had the good sense to price the odd squad out of coming in too bother your average tax-​payer.
The interior is decent although a hodgepodge of styles and eras. The bar is alleged to be Al Capones. I’ll be a sport and choose to believe that.
The bar has a respectable assortment of wine and top shelve liquor. They have 4 taps and they are all «craft beers». Most notably Snake Dog IPA.
The menu is for adults and not just glorified «bar food». There are steaks and a stab or two at creavity. I enjoyed the Maryland Crab soup. My steak was good. The Caesar salad could use some work. I would guess they are buying the dressing. The Oysters on the half-​shell were fresh although they were pre-​shucked and not as cold as I like them. Also the oysters were only served with cocktail sauce no mignonette.
The service is great. They definitely are well trained.
Give it a try. Who are you to resist?
PS to the guy from Baltimore that basically called Martinsburg a Ghetto… I guess who would know better than you.
