Steak House restaurants in North America

  1. A

    Tango Sur

    This candlelit BYOB Argentine steak house makes an idyllic date location, serving classic skirt steaks and other tender grass-fed options. In addition to the traditional cuts, the chef’s special is bifeVesuvio, a prime strip stuffed with garlic, spinach and cheese – it’s a triumph. In summer, tables outside expand the seating from the small and spare interior.

    Morton’s

    Morton’s is a chain now, but Chicago is where it all began. The meat here is aged to perfection and displayed tableside before cooking. See that half a cow? It’s the 48oz double porterhouse. Smaller – but still quite dangerous if dropped on your toe – are the fillets, strip steaks and other cuts. The immense baked potatoes could prop up church foundations. Or you could try the hash browns, a superb version of a side dish all too often ignored. Expensive reds anchor the wine list.

    Chicago Chop House

    In the proud tradition of Chicago chops, this comfortable, upscale, independently owned steak house is king. Look forward to perfectly cured meats hand cut on-site, and an atmosphere befitting the city’s famous politicos and mob bosses – many of whom look down from framed portraits lining the walls. If you’re not up for a slab of meat, you can always pop in to the piano bar and sample the 600-strong wine list.

    Gene & Georgetti

    For once, a place touting itself as one of Frank Sinatra’s favorite restaurants can back it up – a fact evidenced in the framed pic of Ol’ Blue Eyes by the door. Old-timers, politicos and crusty regulars are seated downstairs. New-timers, conventioneers and tourists are seated upstairs. The steaks are the same on both levels: thick, well aged and well priced.

    Gibson’s

    There is a scene nightly at this local original. Politicians, movers, shakers and the shaken-down swirl the famed martinis and compete for prime table space in the buzzing dining room. The bar is a prime stalking place for available millionaires. As for the meat on the plates, the steaks are as good as they come, and ditto for the ginormous lobsters.
