About Steak Bank Charcoal Grill

Hand-pick your cut straight from the glass display fridge before it hits the open charcoal grill at Steak Bank. Housed in a repurposed bank on North Road, this low-key haunt pairs vintage banking signs with thick T-bones and 500g porterhouses. Regulars unpack prized bottles from their cellars under a generous BYO policy—no markups, just honest hospitality from owner-chefs John and Jane. Tables fill quickly with bowls of hot chips and house salads dressed with fresh corn.

  • Butcher-Fridge Selection: Walk up to the butcher-style glass fridge to inspect and choose the exact thickness and cut of meat before it hits the flame.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: Bring your own cellar bottles to pair with hearty steaks, backed by a fully licensed bar.
  • Old Bank Setting: Repurposed heritage bank space complete with vintage bank signs and nostalgic machines.

  • Generous Prime Cuts

    Steaks are served in generous, substantial butcher portions cut thick and grilled to exact requested temperatures.

    The steaks are Flinstones size cuts. My New York cut was a perfect medium rare and at least 500gms of perfect steak.

  • Personal Family Hospitality

    The chef-owners and their family personally attend to tables, creating a warm, hospitable dining atmosphere.

    This is a family owned business and it's definitely worth a visit. The chef himself came to our table to make sure everything was good and that we were happy with our meals.

  • Porterhouse Steak

    We ordered a porterhouse and a T-Bone, we read previous reviews about them tending to under cook the steaks a bit so we ordered medium-rare as rare steak lovers.
