Heard a lot about this place so great to experience the great food and the charming Emily together with the Foulds staff. It certainly didn't disappoint. Concentrating on really good meat perfectly prepared, this place is a proper steakhouse and keeps it simple with some very tasty sauces and great chips and onion rings. It's not particularly cheap, but you can't produce steaks of this quality cheaply. Would recommend it!
I first came here in 2008 and I was blown away with just how good it was. Every single meal here since then (there have been many) has been first class.
The steak is always perfectly cooked, deliciously mouth-watering with superb homemade chips.
The starters and puddings are amazing too. And then there's the peppercorn sauce, a tasty accompaniment to any steak. I nearly forgot the onion rings, how could I forget those? The best onion rings I've found.
The only downside, I suppose, is that the steak is so good here, you won't want steak anywhere else.
If you only visit one restaurant in Derby, make it this one.
Went for my birthday dinner with my daughter. What a great steak! I ordered rib eye steak with house red wine, my daughter had sirloin. We enjoyed our dinner, it is the best steak we have had in Derby. We definitely will come back again.
Thanks for the great evening, Emily!

Dined here after just finding the restaurant by chance via Google Maps. Such a good find! The meal was tasty, and expertly cooked. I think it was quite frankly the best steak I've ever had. I had the portabello mushrooms with garlic starter and 10 oz Sirloin steak as a main course, with creamy pepper sauce. My friend had the king prawn starter and the Rib-eye on the bone main course with black pepper sauce. Both steaks were excellent and more than adequate in terms of quantity. I cannot wait to revisit this place.
Update October 2023 - visited here again with family and friends. Outstanding service, excellent tasting steaks and a great atmosphere. I ordered the salmon parcels and almighty rump (32 Oz) steak. I was not able to finish the steak, despite my best efforts so the waitress kindly wrapped it to go. The steak was well cooked and the chips crispy on the outside and fluffy inside - perfect!
Emily was helpful with some recommendations for which cut of steak to choose and also told us a bit about the history of the restaurant.
To dine at Emily Steakhouse, it is necessary to make a reservation in advance due to the restaurant's limited space. However, their friendly staff are readily available to assist you when you need something. The appetizers, particularly the crab pot and toast, were the highlight of my meal - both delicious and filling. For my main course, I opted for the 12oz Rib eye, which, although not as flavorful as I had hoped, still deserves a four-star rating. Additionally, I must mention that the fries were so good! It's worth noting that the restaurant does not accept contactless payments, so be sure to bring your card with you. Overall, I left the restaurant feeling really full and satisfied, and I plan to return to try other dishes on the menu.
dined with my daughter on my birthday. What a fantastic steak! I requested rib eye steamed with a house-bred red wine, my daughter had sirloin. We enjoyed our meal, it is the best steak we've eaten in Derby. We will definitely return.
I appreciate the wonderful evening.
The food was great, we had the sirloin, the service was good there was very little atmosphere but they have only just reopened after there summer shutdown.
It was expensive! Roughly £50 per head for a main course, pudding and a couple of drinks.
Would I go again, I'm not sure the cost may put me off.
Absolutely amazing! Could not fault a thing. My partner took me to Emily’s for my birthday and it was perfect. Cosy restaurant, the steak was amazing! Perfectly cooked and huge portion. Great atmosphere. Emily herself is so lovely and friendly and so are all the staff. The best steak we’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be returning. 100% worth the visit!
Definitely a place where you go for the food. It's was amazing. The steaks are tender, chips are amazingly crispy to offset the texture of the steak and peas. Portions are enough and the sauce compliments it's really well.
Had the loveliest meal today at Emily’s steakhouse. It was my first time eating here and I was beyond impressed. The steak was cooked perfectly and the prawn cocktail and Portobello mushrooms were the perfect accompaniment. There was nothing to fault. I’ll definitely be coming again and I highly recommend the place to any foodies and any people thinking of going.
Lovely friendly restaurant, food was delicious. Thank you Emily for having us
Came here to celebrate a birthday.
The food was lovely as was the atmosphere. Couldn't fault a thing. We had to leave quite early due to other engagements but the lady gave us a parting birthday gift as we couldn't stay any longer for a drink. Covid guidelines are still being followed for those still a little scared to go out and the tables are spaced nicely apart.
Highly recommend a visit.
