I have been to Smith & Wolensky probably 7 to 8 times now for business dinners, and each time, the meat is completely mediocre. I am always underwhelmed by it, and I always find myself thinking that it's just not a good steakhouse. It has absolutely no flavor at all. Even Morton's (which I find quite flavorless) has more flavor than S & W.

S&W has the most expensive dogfood possibly in the world.
I have to go there for dinner on business sometimes and I have to use the spinach and eat it WITH my steak for it to have any flavor at all. Next time I think I will ask for some aged balsamic to put on my steak (a blasphemous statement for a truly good/great steak!)

Gallagher’s was absolutely horrible. I could have easily purchased a better cut of beef at the local supermaket, and it did not have much flavor. The salad was terrible as well. The service was lousy. The waters were abrupt. The atmosphere was noisy. Worst of all, dinner was rather expensive. There is not one thing I liked or could say positively about Gallagher’s. I will never eat there again. Avoid this steakhouse at all costs.

I took my wife to the S & W on Miami Beach for our anniversary dinner last year. The location was great, fabulous views of government cut. We dined right on the water while the big ships went by. The waiter recommended a shrimp appetizer that wasn't on the menu. The bill came and the appetizer alone was $45. Shame on you, S & W. I'll never give you my money again. I don't really frequent steak houses as I live in Florida and I grill year round. I have perfected the art of a perfect NY strip. Marinating for 24 hrs, wood chips, etc. Learn to grill a really good steak and forget about the steakhouses.

Growing up in Chicago, and now living in Kansas City, we know a little bit about steak.
Hands down, avoid OUTBACK Steakhouses. Truly disgusting. |
India.

The Morton's in the Hyatt Regency Bethesda served me the worst expensive steak I've ever had.

What are the worst steakhouses in the world (specific steakhouses, like Gallaghers), or where are the worst steakhouses (regions, like India)?

Just re-title the thread General Steakhouse Rant. ^ |
The S&W in Columbus Ohio was despicable. I arrived late after along day of meetings and driving with a group of colleagues and expected to have a delicious meal. In spite of the fact that we were 1 of 2 tables in the restaurant the service was still slow, and on top of that the waiter was out right rude to my party. The steak that was served was an embarrassment to anyone who has ever cooked a steak at home and the bill was outrageous. That will be my last S&W experience.

I think we've to clarify that an average steakhouse for a really cheap price is in my eyes better than a slightly above average steakhouse for a fortune. So for me, a luxury steakhouse with a very bad product will probably be the worst. |

outback anywhere. the chewiest steaks i've ever had until my jaw hurt. it's cheap, but the grocery store USDA choice steaks are much better. i do like the searing and seasoning though.

I nominate S&W in Las Vegas. A vendor took me there a few years back. The steak was absolutely tough and inedible. I didn't complain because I had already filled up on the seafood appetizers and it would have interrupted my discussions with the vendor. But I will never be going back there again.
