These 25 Restaurants Actually Use Quality Steak

These 25 restaurants actually use quality steak. These days you have to wonder about what you’re eating, unfortunately.

Smith & Wollensky

This place uses gold-grade American wagyu. It’s not exactly on par with the Japanese version, but it’s a quality steak that people expect.

Fogo de Chao

As a Brazilian-influenced steak house offers up 21-day aged steaks for consumption. Their philosophy “respect for food” is a great way to do business so long as it can be sustained.

Morton’s The Steakhouse

Prime beef is what defines Morton’s and it’s the best quality around. When people talk about your place in the media, it’s a sign that you’ve done something right.

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse

USDA Black Angus is one of the best quality steaks around and it’s one reason why people flock to this location. To whet your appetite, the menu offers up several tasty appetizers.

Saltgrass Steakhouse

Serving marbled cuts that contain excellent flavor, Saltgrass is known for its quality. One gets to experience a wide range of flavors when they visit this spot.

Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse

Minimalism is on display in this restaurant since the steaks come seasoned only with salt, pepper, and a garnish of parsley. The steaks here speak for themselves in terms of flavor.

STK

This place is so confident in its product that it sells steak nationwide. It doesn’t matter if you have these at home or in the restaurant, they’re just as good.

Steak 48

The in-house butcher shops are a nice touch, not to mention that the wet-aged steaks give the spot a distinct reputation. Their ability to serve Japanese-heritage beef so effectively is another reason why they’re on this list.

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

When you use the word ‘prime’ in your title it’s best to stick to the namesake. Plus, you really need to try the North Atlantic Lobster Mashed Potatoes.

Peter Luger Steakhouse

Lasting more than a century is impressive for any business. But a restaurant that holds this distinction has to keep offering the highest quality steaks or they’ll be overrun quickly.

Shula’s Steakhouse

After a successful run in the NFL, Coach Don Shula made another run by creating a steakhouse that people flocked to in great numbers. Even better than this is that nine of the ten cuts they provide go above and beyond the USDA Prime Standards.

Texas Roadhouse

Texas is a place where you expect to find a great steak. Despite being slightly cheaper, the quality of the meat here is still on par with the high-end steakhouses around the country.

Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab

That’s a mouthful for a restaurant title, but despite that, the place is well-known for quality steak. Their seafood does take a big step forward, but the steak is anything but an afterthought.

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse

This almost sounds like the type of place you might expect to sit near a theme park. But the truth of it is that even though they turn wagyu into meatballs, their steak is the highest quality.

The Capital Grille

The inclusion of an in-house butcher is always an impressive addition. But as many restaurant owners know, if your beef is subpar it doesn’t matter how many add-ons you have.

The Palm Restaurant

A 12-ounce center-cut Filet Mignon is the claim to fame for this place. In fact, the extensive wine list feels like an add-on next to the quality cuts of meat.

Mastro’s Restaurants

Wagyu is the name of the game in many restaurants as the Japanese beef is famous and quite good. Kobe beef also makes a big appearance here.

Outback Steakhouse

Yep, Outback made the list of the best steakhouses that use quality meat. Just because it’s so well-known and marketed doesn’t mean the quality has gone down.

Longhorn Steakhouse

Serving steak with seafood is sometimes a great way to detract from the lower quality of the meat. Longhorn figures if you’re paying for the meat you might as well get something worth paying for.

Rare Society Steakhouse

It’s a steak and seafood place, so the name might not be as well-deserved as some. But the customers have made it clear that this is a place worth visiting.

Black Rock Bar & Grill

The idea here is that you get to cook your own steak, which is interesting since you have no one to blame but yourself if it’s not the way you want. But apart from that, this restaurant serves its steaks on volcanic rocks, so there is a bit of showmanship.

Ocean Prime

Another steakhouse that has to live up to the part of its name that describes it’s meat, Ocean Prime is a great spot to visit. The add-ons that come with the meals are worth the added charge.

Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill

If you don’t like your meat past medium well then this is the spot for you. Nothing comes out of this kitchen without tasting the best it can.

Houston’s

With the choice of meat well taken care of, this place focuses on the atmosphere as well. A prime rib French Dip au jus is just the thing to try.

Black Angus Steakhouse

Using its own proprietary rub to flavor their beef, this restaurant is one of the best around as many diners have figured out. Added to that, the beef is humanely sourced.
