Karl Ehmers Quality Meats & Alpine Steak House

We took the advice of our fishing charter’s Captain, Capt. Dave, and had the ‘Hook n’ Cook” — We brought a beautiful grouper and they performed their magic — fried, blackened and even some picatta sauce. With a Gorgonzola salad and Tea and wonderful company, it was a magnificient meal. Plus the blackened grouper made wonderful sandwiches the next day.

A year ago, we went twice here while on our vacation because of their chargrilled oysters, it was well cooked and flavored. And they have decent steaks. A year later, come back here again and ordered the oysters, this time it was so undercooked. The waitress noticed it too before serving but didn’t do anything, even when told afterwards. There was no offer of fixing the issue. Plus when we got there, waited almost 10min before being attended, place wasn’t busy and she was the only one waiting, on a friday lunch. We were planning of making this place as our go to lunch every time we’re here in Siesta Keys. That’s not happening anymore.

All steaks at our party of ten were cooked perfectly. Alexis and Cassandra rocked it, love the treatment we got. Definately one of our favorite places for steaks or German food.

Hi I have eaten here several times, We quit going about a year ago because I got a poor cut of Prime Rib. We just started going back and have been about 3 – 4 times. Tonight I walked out for the last time. It took us about 10 minutes to get waited on. The short chubby brunette Obviously knew us because she asked us if we wanted unsweet tea, she seemed to have a bit of an attitude but what ever I wanted a porterhouse and the wife got a ruben. When she brought our drinks she threw them on the table with out a word. But I had a beer so who cares. then she finally brings the bread (marginal at best) and tosses it on the table again without a word and and a very definite attitude. Well now I need another beer and when she finally passes our table again she completely ignores us as we try to speak to her. Well that pissed me off. I’m not the guy that sends food back to be recooked if I don’t like it I don’t eat and I won’t pay for it. Being that my diplomatic skills are sorely lacking we decided to leave before it got ugly. So I hoped the chubby little brunette Elisa or Elise or some such 90’s name enjoyed my $ 26.00 steak and my wife’s Ruben I refuse to eat at a place where you are treated like the redheaded step child… No offence to all my ginger friends Rusty you know who I’m talking about. It’s really too bad I would have given her the $ 10.00 tip just for getting me the right beer mug. Instead Megan got it down the road at Beckham’s great fish and chips

I am a meat lover and this place really does the job. Prime Rib dinner cannot beat the price. You get a great meal no matter you order. They do not look anything like the taste and quality of the food. Do yourself a favor and go.

We went to this unassuming spot on a busy road because it was featured on the Dives & Diners show and we had great meals and the best service ever. Plus the prices are moderate, so this place is a winner.
My daughter started out the session by dropping her phone between the wall and the seat. Our fabulous server, Mike, dove in and brought out a yardstick from the back room to retrieve it. He was our hero right away.
When ordering, he very gently nudged us all away from ordering the place’s famous turducken sandwich. For one of us to order it was fine, but he thought it would disappoint us if we all got it. He was right. My reuben sandwich was warm and savory, my sister’s cuban club was flavorful, the cheesesteak was so good it disappeared before anyone else at the table had a chance to get a sample. The famous turducken was just okay, but we were glad we tried it.
Nice list of German beers, too.
We sat for a long time enjoying our meal and chatting with Mike, who really made this place feel special for us. We look forward to going back.

Early bird prime rib dinner from 4 – 6 is $ 9.95. Add a salad and for $ 13 you get a generous portion of high quality beef perfectly cooked. Comes with a side and garlic bread. Sure to please, and I’m from New York, so I know !! :)

I LOVE KARL EHMER’S MEAT
If you like meat, you’ll love Karl Ehmer’s meat too!
They can make you a sandwich or you can take meat with you. The place is kept very clean and fresh. It looks so new like it was built yesterday but it’s been around for quite some time! Everything I’ve eaten here has been great!
