Best Steaks?

[TreeFrog Frank]

I thought this was an interesting article, today:

Best Steak Restaurants

What do you guys think of the ones they list? And who has eaten at any of these? I have to admit, I haven't been to any of the restaurants listed.

I've done Benihanas before, but I would not say that is one of the country's best steaks. Houstons would whoop that all over the place, as would Mastro's.

I'm a bit partial to the steaks that come off my own grill. I am not a fan of restaurant steaks and I rarely get them. Sometimes I do and I'm pleasantly surprised. There's a local fancy pants restaurant here in Harrisburg that has a "tuscan ribeye" and it's probably the best tasting steak in town.

I would have to agree

I've had the Lawry's prime rib––nothing memorable, to me.
The Smith & Wollensky filet mignon, as far as I remember, was good.
I love the porterhouse at Peter Luger––that's probably the best steak I've ever had (at a restaurant). Their fries and creamed spinach and house brews are really good, too.

ha, like new york has the best steaks!
jess and jim's is a about 45 minutes from me. they're ok, but i haven't been there in years. went to smith and wollensky in chicago a few years back. it was good. i just can't spend $50 on a steak that i can do at home. if i'm gonna spend that much, or more, for a steak, i better get a hander with it!

 

[TreeFrog Frank]

I agree about the steaks are best from home! I honestly never buy steak when I go out to eat. Just seems like kind of a waste of money, since it's something I feel I could do better at home. I like to try more original dishes from whatever eatery I'm at.

You'd have to swing by Prospect up there for the hander half of the dinner, wouldn't ya?? :headroll:

Since Ruth's Chris is not on the list, then that is no list.

Just sayin'...

 

[jwintosh]

looks like i need to go to NY! Donavon's is my favorite steakhouse. also like Hugo's Cellar in the 4 Queens, Las Vegas... and that steakhouse in downtown LA that i went w/Greg and Chuck!! that was a great steak!!

Home grilling: Allen Brothers dry-aged steaks.

Dude...

Was just thinking that Clint. I'd also put Del Frisco's on the list before a few of those others!

Dude...

Always wanted to try them...Never pulled the trigger due to the price point. Might have to invest now.

 

[VillageIdiot]

I've never been to any of those. The best steak I've ever had was from Dale's in Florence, AL.

 

[NJCigar]

haha...pat's! my favorite next to steve's in northeast philly. del frisco's is probably one of my favorites steak wise. if i'm tryiing to get my bang for buck, fogo de chao and their 15 cuts of all you can eat meat.

I have been to a S&W in Boston and did not care for it. There are a few places that get my nod in Boston.
1: Grill 23
2: Flemings
3: Capital Grill

But like a few said I prefer to grill my own.

 

[hdroadglide]

we've got ruth's chris and capital grill in k.c. too. previously had morton's, but they didn't make it. usually people tend to like the hometown places like the herford house. but i tend to prefer the plaza III.

 

[smokingIsh]

Ha, they put Andrea's on there? Anyone within 300 miles of New Orleans will quickly tell you the best steak is at Commander's Palace.

home off the grill......imho

I'd have to agree, nothin' is as good as a little home cooking. Plus you don't have to deal with other patrons or crappy service.
