I'm familiar with numbers 2, 3, and 5. Texas Roadhouse is definitely my favorite for it's quality and value, Black Angus is probably my second, and I don't much care for the Outback Steakhouse...
Ruth Chris—for the best. sides. ever. My once-every-couple-of-years treat.
Without a doubt, Flemings is the best.
Without a doubt, Flemings is the best.
When they say "chain" do they mean midrange chain restaurants only?
Where are the 1% supposed to eat. Certainly not Texas Roadhouse! ;-)
“Claim Jumper” is pretty darn good for a small chain.
They serve up some of the best beef ribs *anywhere*.
I can live with Longhorn being Number 1, and have had nothing but satisfactory experience with Texas Roadhouse.
I think Outback is overrated. The last two steaks I had there were marginal.
The worst chain steak restaurant has to be Ponderosa.
Fire Mountain might have the best value, just because of the buffet
Pinnacle Pete’s in Scottsdale, Arizona. You select the steak you want and then tell them how you want it cooked.
Longhorn’s:
-
“...the restaurants are energy-efficient, they give back to the community...”
-
That’s just not something that even crosses my mind when I want a good steak.
Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse. An experience to savor.
It's a titty bar with steaks.
I can't say much for the steaks, but the "cheesecake" is awesome!
Longhorn
Outback
There are others?
America’s best Steak House is...My House!
The same group that owns Outback owns Bonefish.
Don’t forget TLC.
Texas Land and Cattle.
And Outback? I’ve never liked their stakes.
Outback used to be good but has definitely declined in recent years.
Of the ones on the list, I’ve only been to Black Angus (well, technically “Stuart Anderson’s Cattle Company”, but I think they are basically the same company). I’ve also been to a place called Ryan’s that is sort of in this “casual chain” niche. It was okay, though the ones in my town are in kinda dive-y areas.
I’m kind of weird about steak anyway. As crazy at it sounds, I’d rather have a really good bone-in pork chop most times than a steak. And when I do order steak, I’d rather have a ribeye than some of the fancier cuts (porterhouse, etc.).
BJ’s Brewhouse has some excellent steaks. In fact I’m heading there tomorrow for a ribeye and a Jeremiah Red Ale.
Should add ‘affordable’ to the steakhouse title category
I’m into teppanyaki, , Kobe steak, if your gonna blow the dough, otherwise wifey likes black Angus, I like bloom in’ onions.
Wish we had longhorn or corral,, heck sonic would be nice.
