Dining in Gastonia's History

Webb Custom Kitchen is a premier American steakhouse and restaurant located in a beautifully restored 1920s theater in the heart of Gastonia, North Carolina. We've turned a historic landmark into a space where you can enjoy carefully sourced ingredients, bold flavors, and an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. Whether you're here for a celebratory dinner or just a great drink at the bar, we're honored to have you in our seats.

From the Silver Screen to Your Table

When you step inside, you'll notice right away that this isn't your typical dining room. This used to be the Webb Theatre back in the day, and we've kept that spirit alive. You'll see the old architecture and feel the history in the walls, but we've updated it to make sure you're comfortable. It's the kind of place that feels special as soon as you walk through the door.

We believe that a great space needs even better food to match. Our chefs focus on fresh flavors and stay away from anything "standard." We source our ingredients as close to home as possible because we know you can taste the difference. You can explore our full selection of steaks, seafood, and house specialties on our dinner menu.

If you have a special occasion coming up, we'd love to host you. You can book a table online to secure your spot in our dining room or reserve the entire restaurant for a private event!
