We came to Nana Steak by chance after visiting a friend at Duke Hospital. Many years later there is nowhere else I will eat steak. The filet medium just melts in your mouth. The service and we love the atmosphere. We live about 40 miles away but travel probably once a month for the superior quality and taste. Muah!

Thoroughly enjoyed my recent dinner at NanaSteak. Went to dinner before a DPAC show and the service people were great in moving us along timely so we could make the show. The appetizer was great and I loved my Filet Mignon - perfectly cooked. And the Crème Brûlée was wonderful. I highly recommend this place - a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Well worth it.

Great restaurant. The bar service was great during the dinner rush. You can only get the S mash burger at the bar and it didn't disappoint it comes with a delicious sauce that I couldn't get enough of!

The Prime Rib and other steaks were exceptional. Service was prompt and not overbearing. One thing that irritated us was that bread/rolls were a paid appetizer. A little much to charge when entrees are $40+ Maximum Group Reservation for 14 is limiting for social groups without restrictions.

First time here and we loved it. Food was delicious! Our waiter was kind. He made great recommendations. I literally have no complaints. The ambiance was chill and a vibe of its own. We sat on the bar side. I love sports. The menu is reasonably priced. The menu options made me and my husband happy. We will definitely be back!

For my graduation dinner, Nana Steak was the perfect choice! Conveniently located near DPAC with parking nearby, it made for an easy, stress-free evening. The ambiance is lovely, with ample seating for large groups, making it ideal for family and friends to gather. The food was delicious--each entree stood out on its own, complemented by generous, family-style sides. Portions are sizable, so pace yourself if you want to save room for dessert! Nana Steak truly made my celebration memorable, and I highly recommend it for any special occasion. The waitstaff was attentive and professional; they even gave me a slice of cake with a candle for the celebration.

I enjoyed NanaSteak in downtown Durham. This is a solid local steakhouse with good food and service. It's definitely worth checking out. I have to admit, though, when it comes to steakhouses in Chapel Hill and Durham, I like Bin 54 in Chapel Hill the best: https://bit.ly/49G6QSJ I first learned of NanaSteak when my wife brought home leftovers of her Prime Rib and sides. I eat prime rib pretty regularly and, even at a couple hours old, I could tell from the leftovers that the Prime Rib at NanaSteak was outstanding quality. It was among the best I've had. I think the prime rib here is five stars alone. On the night of my visit with a friend, the prime rib was listed on the menu as "Spice and Salt Crusted Slow Roasted Prime Rib with Horseradish Cream Sauce," 14 ounces, for $50. "Served while it lasts." I think it's one of NanaSteak's most popular items. I also had some leftover Yukon Gold Potato Puree ($12) and Roasted Beets with Citrus Shallot Butter ($12) and it was damn good. For my visit, I wanted to try something different. Here's what we got: Drinks * Barrel-Aged Rye Manhattan ($18) - Old Forester Rye, Carpano Antica, orange bitters, aged eight months in American oak (special drink) * Erath 'Resplendent' Pinot Noir, Oregon (2 glasses at $14 per glass) Appetizers * Crispy Pork Ribs ($12) - quick 'kimchi' napa cabbage slaw, miso-ginger glaze * Filet of Beef Tartare ($15) - dijon, shallots, fine herbes, crispy capers, potato chips Hand-Cut Prime Steak and Chops * Charcoal-Grilled Double-Cut Duroc Pork Chop ($42) - with apple and whole grain mustard sauce * Charcoal-Grilled Ribeye Steak, 16 ounces (market price was $60) - finished with herbed cabernet jus Family-Style Sides * Blistered Brussels Sprouts ($10) - pickled Fresno chilis, apple balsamic glaze (special side) * Braised Collard Greens with Bacon ($10) Dessert * Apple Crisp ($12) - served warm with housemade vanilla bean ice cream * Cake of the Day (market price was $14 per slice) - chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream over cherry compote The special Manhattan was OK. It tasted a little too mediciney for me. My favorite item was the Crispy Pork Ribs. My wife recommended them. What a great recommendation. My friend agreed. He said they were fantastic. The ribs were spot-on in every way, from the flavor of the seasoning/glaze to the texture -- indeed crispy (on the outside), but also satisfyingly tender and meaty on the inside. The ribs were almost fall-off-the-bone, which I think is ideal. The Beef Tartare was delicious. Beef tartare is an app I like to order when I see it on the menu. NanaSteak's beef tartare was as good as they come. What stood out to me about their version was its freshness, "clean" and mild taste, and it wasn't overly rich nor sauced. It was well balanced. The accompaniments were great, especially the thin-yet-sturdy chips. Both the Duroc Pork Chop and the Ribeye were good. Now that I've tried those two and the Prime Rib, I think the Prime Rib is superior. That said, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. Like the pork ribs, the Duroc Pork Chop was meaty and tender, but in a different way. The pork was much leaner and the apple and whole grain mustard sauce on top went really well with it. I thought about getting the Charcoal-Grilled New York Strip (12 oz), but opted for the Ribeye for more consistent marbling throughout, along with more tenderness. And it's bigger (16 oz). I had it cooked medium rare. It had wonderful flavor and consistency, which the herbed cabernet jus enhanced. The Brussels Sprouts were too salty. It was the only dish I didn't like. The Collard Greens were delectable and what you'd expect from a well-made batch of greens. Save room for dessert because the desserts we got were excellent. Our server Amy suggested the Apple Crisp and wow, it did not disappoint. The crispy and crumbly top streusel layer was to die for. Perfect. The chocolate Cake of the Day slice was huge. It tasted as yummy as it looked. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but this cake had me going back for more and more. The cherry compote helped. Service from Amy was terrific. The restaurant has a modern interior design. The atmosphere was classy, but not stuffy nor pretentious. My wife dined in the private room. This place is popular. Book your reservation well in advance. NanaSteak uses OpenTable. Unfortunately, they didn't award dining points when I booked. The restaurant is located in the same building as DPAC (Durham Performing Arts Center). Parking details on the OpenTable reservation confirmation said to park in the surface lot north of Vivian St, enter via Blackwell St. However, when I pulled up to the entrance, the gate arms were down and public parking wasn't allowed. I ended up parking for free nearby on W Pettigrew St. My buddy parked for free in the City of Durham's Corcoran St garage. It was free because it was after parking enforcement hours (8am-7pm). NanaSteak opened in February 2016.
