Oliver’s Steakhouse has been a family-run restaurant in Downtown Oakville since 1969, serving as a landmark in Oakville for steak lovers across the town. 

Oliver’s provides steaks from 5 different countries, each with their unique taste. A Steakhouse chef needs mastery of the parts of a cow, and that’s exactly what Oliver’s has. Their steak ranges from Canadian Angus Tenderloins to Japanese Kobe and Wagyu Striploins. With the high quality of beef, you sure can expect every steak to cost well over $100. Their most expensive steak is a 16oz Japanese Kobe striploin at $1120. 

While steak is their forté, Oliver’s provides many side options as well. Some notable acquisitions are their Beef Carpaccio made from dry aged prime striploin, and their Wagyu Meatballs, which are meatballs made from American Wagyu! If you want something to wash down your steak with, they have a long list of Cocktails, Japanese Whisky, and Wine. 

If you’re looking to treat yourself & indulge on some premium cuts of steak, Oliver’s Steakhouse is a great place to go.

In 2012, having grown up in Muskoka and sharing a deep love for the region, Kevin and Brittany founded a brand new restaurant in the heart of Port Carling, Ontario, and named it “Loondocks,” after the local bird whose beautiful calls echo the lakes at night.
