Interestingly, I've done quite well at Morton's in Bethesda
and would rate it as among my favorite of that ilk; also
have eaten decently at Gallagher's. My vote for worst price
to performance is probably Ruth's Chris in Las Vegas,
though Marco Pierre White had a steakhouse where I
endured a gray tough piece of meat and sandy spinach.

Ruth's Chris is probably the most disappointing 'proper' steakhouse.

I second the vote for Outback, big :td: to that.

Hands down, avoid OUTBACK Steakhouses. Truly disgusting.

Clearly Outback has its detractors, but I disagree, and besides, if you're going to Outback thinking it's a true "steakhouse" (regardless of their use of that word in the name), you're sorely mistaken. It's an adequate chain restaurant, but I would never recommend it as a "steakhouse" any more than I would recommend it as "Australian". But I certainly wouldn't call them "truly disgusting".

I dont think that that would the steakhouses' fault -- rather the basic custom of a cow being sacred probably does not lend itself to a beef industry.

Capital Grille

Second place goes to Flemings.
I have been to Capital Grille twice. Both times, I was very unimpressed. Spent tons of money, ate mediocre steak.

To tell everyone the truth.. I can't expect my family to eat out at top end restaurants serving steak all of the time.

We have no problem with Sizzlers and Ponderosa frankly.. their buffet is very convenient for my 5 year old and 1 year old to eat..

But, we do like our regular vacation excursions to Ruth's Chris.

Indeed. Tough old ox is more like it.

steak
 
Anyone been to an STK. I went to the one in LA, and the meat was incredible. Just wondering what others think. I know they are in Miami and Las Vegas also.

Capital Grille in Pittsburgh. I ordered a steak medium and it came sizzling and steaming on the outside and raw and cold in the middle. I sent it back and it came back once again sizzling and steaming on the outside...and raw and cold in the middle.

Actually, in the late 70's early 80's there were very few places that did better steaks than Berni Inns.

I went to the one in DC twice and the one in Boston twice. Every time, it has been totally disappointing.

Don't know if this really qualifies, but the Big Texan on a busy night.

If their business is slow, the steaks are good. If the house is packed, go elsewhere.
