Joseph’s Is An Old-School Steakhouse In Connecticut That Hasn’t Changed In Decades

Joseph's Steakhouse has been a mainstay in Bridgeport, Connecticut for years. The restaurant was founder and former owner Joseph Kustra's American Dream. When the talented restauranteur and Croatian native immigrated to the United States he dove right into the dining industry, honing the skills that would later create the famous Joseph's Steakhouse.

Joseph's Steakhouse serves lunch Monday-Friday and dinner seven days a week. The brick building in the downtown area is a classic Connecticut property in the historic brownstone style.

Inside you'll find the decor typical of an old-school steakhouse: dark woods, white tablecloths, and rich exposed brick. It's as conducive to business deals as it is to a romantic anniversary dinner.

The menu offers a classic array of dishes starting with the most important food group: steak. You can choose sirloin, ribeye, porterhouse, t-bone, and even steak for two, three, or four people. The rest of the menu features seafood for a surf and turf combo and sides like baked potatoes and asparagus.

The kitchen serves up USDA Prime dry-aged beef, the highest quality of beef available in the country. Less than 3% of beef in the U.S. earns this grade. Having that impeccable cut of meat makes all the difference in the meal.

Don't forget dessert! This apple strudel is a crowd pleaser and lives on a dessert menu filled with tasty after-dinner treats. Joseph's also offers a curated wine list to accent the meal.

If the weather is nice, try enjoying your meal on the scenic outdoor patio.

These days restaurants have to be top-notch to stand the test of time. Joseph's Steakhouse's legacy in the Bridgeport area speaks to the quality of the food and the good nature of the staff.
