Central Station Steak And Ale Cambridge Ohio

Why Central Station made the SteakMap list

Cambridge, Ohio has a population of about eight thousand people, and Central Station Steak And Ale prints an aging period next to every single steak on its menu. No other kitchen in the state is that transparent about it.

The USDA Prime sirloin is aged 45 days. Both New York strips and the ribeye are held for 30. The filet mignon goes 28. Most Ohio menus that mention aging at all name one number for one showpiece cut and leave the rest unstated; a couple publish 21 or 24 days across the board. A handful age longer — Tutto Carne in Cleveland at 60 days and Jeff Ruby’s at 85 — but they do it on one or two showpiece cuts, not across the whole board with the number printed beside each one.

Forty-five days is a genuine commitment. Beef loses weight in the aging room every one of those days, and the hardened outer crust gets trimmed away and discarded before the steak is ever cut. A kitchen doing that in a small town is doing it because someone there cares, not because the market is demanding it.

The cuts

Six beef options, each with its weight and aging stated: a 10oz USDA Prime sirloin at 45 days, an 8oz Classic Cut and a 12oz Center Cut New York strip at 30, a 12oz Center Cut ribeye at 30, an 8oz filet mignon at 28, and a 12oz slow-roasted prime rib served Friday through Sunday after 4pm only.

What to expect

Steaks come with two sides, and the additions list is short and old-fashioned in the best way — blackened or cajun style, sautéed mushrooms and onions, gorgonzola. There is a seafood side to the menu as well, including Lake Erie walleye, which is the correct thing to find on a menu in this part of the state.

Menu prices

As published on Central Station’s own menu, August 2026: the 45-day USDA Prime sirloin $31, the 30-day 12oz center cut New York strip $34, the 30-day 12oz ribeye $39, the 8oz Classic Cut strip $28, the 28-day 8oz filet mignon $46 and the 12oz prime rib $37.

Thirty-one dollars for 45-day aged USDA Prime is the best value on this list, by a distance, anywhere in Ohio.
