You forgot St. Elmo’s Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis. It’s been there for 120 years. Definitely worth the trip for a delicious steak and their signature shrimp cocktail!!
The Cattlemen Steak house has been a staple of real Texas beef for years. Not fancy or trendy but rock solid food. We always go there when visitors come into town.
I treated my wife and her parents to dinner at Ruth's Chris and the meal was great. I wouldn't say it's top of the line but it is a dependable spot to entertain. Their Lyonnaise potatoes are to die for! I hope one day to live where there is a Ruth's Chris. Currently I live on the Kitsap Peninsula (WA state) and there is nowhere one can go for a good steak.
I went to Jeff Ruby's a couple years ago. Spent $350 on me and my date. It's not cheap but it was great. They use a pretty complicated method of making their steaks and steak seasonings. Their Mac & cheese also uses a ton of ingredients. It's next level lol.
You could have had 50 friends over for meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Hundred dollar steak served with Mac and cheese? Did they serve martinis in sippy cups?
@@diegomontoya796 we actually ate a lot more than that plus had a couple drinks. That also includes tip. My steak had wagyu beef on top of it. She had Lobster and steak with the Lobster Mac N cheese(when Jeff Ruby's used to sell that). We also had an appetizer. If you watch videos on Jeff Ruby's, you'll see that they put a lot of work into their food. Our last dinner was $380 at another restaurant. That one was on par to a one Michelin star restaurant. I'm a Foodie and like trying good food as a hobby.. That's just how I am. 💁♂️
@@billh230 not even.. 50 people at Dennys is at least $500 if it's $10 per plate, and I think that's one of their cheaper plates we're talking.. They must be thinking more along the lines of taco bell or a fiest made from the cheapest ingredients at their local discount grocery store.
never forget the first day i did some work for mr laxer gave me tour of kitchen so clean you could eat off the floor live fish actually swimming in tanks the most impressive kitchen ive ever seen and i have worked in a lot of commercial kitchens the worst i ever saw was the spanish park in tampa no longer in bussiness or the columbia is a filthy tourist trap
Philadelphia also has a Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse. I can just go there instead of hopping on Amtrak to NYC. As low as $2 bus fare to Philadelphia 1 way for me.
I’ve eaten many steaks at many restaurants all over the country. The only one on this list I’ve been to is Del Frisco’s and it was fantastic. However, the best steak I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve eaten there many times) is Murray’s in Minneapolis.
I’m shocked Cattleman’s made the list and you cannot mention Cattleman’s without mentioning Mad Mary’s in Pierre as well. Both are excellent. Morries in Sioux Falls should have been considered as well. But Cattleman’s has amazing history and the views are awesome as well.
There is Berns and then there is every other steakhouse in the world. Don’t go there, it wrecks every steakhouse dining experience you will ever have. Every wine enthusiast should also put this place on their bucket list.
I wouldn't consider myself a provincialist who believes that Tampa is the center of the Universe; however, I was slightly dismayed by the introductory statement for Bern's steakhouse: "in the truly unexpected location of Tampa, Florida". Why is it "truly unexpected?" We have some better than "decent" universities, culture, and sophistication. It's not all strip (malls and clubs). Some of us know what a Patek Philippe is even if all we own is a Rolex or Omega. Tampa may not have the glitz and glamor of Miami Beach, NYC, or LA, but it can be a pleasurable place to live. My main complaint as a multi-generational native is the decline in our once thriving family-owned restaurant culture. We have been swarmed by, and capitulated to, a plethora of mediocre chain restaurants; however, I believe there is still hope for us. Truly unexpected, bah!
At this point, with beef prices and fuel prices the way they are, some of these places might not be around long, because the average American can't afford it.
I remember asking a NYC local about where to get a steak in Manhattan for a decent price. it was expensive enough that two people had to split the steak; honestly, I expected better. It's name (vague memory) began with a D and was in some triangle shaped building IIRC.
You can’t throw a rock in NYC without hitting a “good” steakhouse but it’s hard to find a great one. My go to is midtown Wolfgangs. Very consistent, good location and a friendlier Luger clone. In order to get to great you have to go dry aged which is expensive no matter where you go. If you aren’t going dry aged, skip the steak option in NYC - terrible value.
I'm sure these are all wonderful, but I want to give a shout-out to Cattlemen's Steakhouse in the Stockyard District, Okc, Oklahoma. Priced right and has been ranked in the top ten of all steakhouses for years. Just not this one.
Hi, nice reviews but you are not including any Argentine restaurants. They specialized in steak and there are severals restaurants in USA. Their country export the best quality meats of the world. Thanks.
STK is WAY overpriced for what it is. The steaks are decent but double the normal price, as are the drinks. If you want wagyu beef, it’s $100 per OUNCE. It was no better than any other high-end steakhouse but twice the price. The service was about on a par with other steakhouses. Would I call this one of the best in the country? No.
The meat served at the "regular persons" moderately priced Cattlemen Club is, for the most part the same meat served in the other overly priced overly pretentious steakhouses on this list.
Ugh, sorry, but the food you show from these places looks disgusting. I suppose if I was after a pretentious meal rather than good food, I might think otherwise, but I'm pretty secure in with my station in life and I know what I like.
Bern's Steakhouse is grossly over rated. Not the best steak I've ever had, but far from the worst. I like their dress code, their servers were awesome, their menu selections are terrific, however my porterhouse was never "great". Been 3x, and disappointed with each visit - 3 strikes, I won't go back. Fully agree with comments about Cattleman's Club - a top rated meal. Same to be said for Del Frisco's in NY - just wow.
