Dining a la Carteret

Ribeyes Steakhouse of Cape Carteret

by Sherley Buckland

Welcome to Ribeyes Steakhouse of Cape Carteret !  Conveniently located at 104 Golfin’ Dolphin Drive (near the intersection of Highways 24 and 58), Ribeyes of Cape Carteret opened to the public on Friday, April 14, and served over 300 happy customers Easter weekend.

A new and growing company, there are now five Ribeyes restaurants in eastern North Carolina , two of which are in Carteret County .  The corporate philosophy is simply “to provide the best quality product with the best customer service in the best facility.”  

Using only OMAHA choice cut Angus ribeye steaks, Ribeyes Steakhouse can focus on doing one thing, and doing it well.  Their menu is concise yet delicious.

Each ribeye steak is cut and grilled to the customer’s specifications, and served with your choice of baked potato or baked sweet potato, Texas toast, and an all you can eat salad bar.  In addition to ribeye steaks, tender grilled chicken breasts and grilled skewered shrimp are also available. 

Chip Bass, General Manager and Grill Master of Ribeyes Steakhouse in Cape Carteret , greets each customer at their table, takes each order, hand cuts and grills each steak to ensure consistency and quality in each personal dining experience.  This level of attention and service is what Ribeyes Steakhouses believe in providing.

My dinner was no exception. Of course, I tried the combination platter (so I could sample all of the aforementioned items).  The large array of items on the salad bar are cut fresh or prepared that day, and yes, in case you’re wondering, you can just order the salad bar, and there is plenty to make a meal. 

The skewered shrimp are lightly seasoned and perfectly grilled; the chicken breast is tender and juicy. The ribeye steak is wonderfully, mouth watering, ‘cut like a warm knife through butter’ good. 

With the first bite, I immediately stated “Oh my stars, this is sooo good!”

Chip Bass had definitely earned his Grill Master stripes in my book.  As I looked across the dining room, I couldn’t help but notice all the happy faces of the other guests dining at Ribeyes.  I’d be willing to bet Chip Bass and Ribeyes Steakhouse has earned stripes (and stars) in their books, too.

I am certain any steak lover will be happy with their dining experience at Ribeyes, especially considering you can choose the size of your steak, 4 ounces to 20 ounces.  For those of us who can’t decide, or gotta have it all, the combination platter is definitely the entrée to order. 

The smaller portions of all the items on the menu keep your taste buds and waste line happy.  Dessert at Ribeyes is cheesecake with chocolate topping and the full service bar will ensure you have the perfect accompaniment to your perfect meal. 

The new Ribeyes Steakhouse in Cape Carteret is the largest Ribeyes facility to date.  Able to comfortably seat 150 guests, there are three dining rooms; the main dining room with a beautiful brick hearth fireplace, two large private dining rooms, and additional seating in the bar area where they have live music every Friday night.  The décor is warm and inviting, casual enough for the entire family to be comfortable and nice enough for a romantic candlelight dinner.  Ribeyes Steakhouse of Cape Carteret would be the perfect location for your next big event, family gathering or intimate dining experience.

Gather your friends and family this weekend and head to Ribeyes Steakhouse in Cape Carteret , the grill is hot and they are ready to serve you.
