I think there are 80 or so Ruth's Chris worldwide. And I've been to 50 of them, many several times. And I've been to Morton's, Fleming's, Del Friscos, Capital Grille, Sullivan's, etc. numerous times each.
I've been to lot of the independent steak houses nationwide....Bern's, Peter Lugers, Gallagher's, Metropolitan Grill, Chicago Chop House....the list goes on infinitum.
Bottomline, the steaks at Ruth's Chris are the best I've ever had and I'm always prepared to be disappointed when I visit another steakhouse.

Absolutely, Omaha Prime is one of my top 5 ever, and it's just a 5 minute drive. The best part is that it is a favorite for the drug reps, can't beat free. A week late, but any people still in town for the College World Series should definitely make a trip there. People talk about Gorat's Steakhouse here too because Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are known to be seen there, but I would recommend Omaha Prime, Mahogany Prime, or Johnny's steakhouse.

Sidenote: I can't tell you how many times people mention the mail-order "Omaha Steaks" and how good they are. OMG they are pure cra*. There are restaurants here that say they serve the "Omaha Steaks" and I avoid them. So please do not judge Omaha by "Omaha Steaks." We can get better meat than that by going to SuperWalmart here.

My recollection of nearly twenty years ago was Johnny's was hooked up to a slaughterhouse (or was that "Ross")???

Johnny's is right near the old Stockyards, but not connected to a slaughterhouse. (maybe it was at one time but I'm a youngin and have only been there the last few years).

Here's a link to Charley's in Orlando. My experience aside, the overall review is bad! :(

Kansas City Steakhouse in Boston. Expensive, but the steak was magnificant. Locally here in VA, I have a small mom & pop convience store right down the street. The owner raises, slaughters and cuts his own beef to order. A little more expensive, but my oh my, what a cut of steak you get. ^ ^ ^

For those who enjoy Peter Lugar's
 
My wife and I recently enjoyed a wonderful meal at Blair Perrone Steakhouse, a recent startup in midtown Manhattan from several alumni of Peter Lugar's. Like Lugar's, the steak portion of the menu is basic in its presentation, offering "Porterhouse for Two", "Porterhouse for Three", etc.

What isn't basic, however, is the dazzling, dry-aged beef that is served. It took only several bites of a medium-rare porterhouse for two to bring a smile to my face that lasted the rest of the afternoon! Quality beef deserves to be served dry aged, and this place does so with elan.

(On a non-steak-related note, do try the sizzling canadian bacon--an appropriate overture to a carnivore's delight.)

Yes Lugars is good. But if you're ever in Chicago, try Chicago Chop House.

When I used to work in Chicago, I visited the Chop House and enjoyed their porterhouse very much; in its favor is the fact that it's the only major steakhouse in Chicago that dry ages its steaks. The other places there (Gibson's, Morton's, Sullivan's) left me less than impressed with their beef and aging methods.

My favorite city for steakhouses, hands down, is Seattle. The Metropolitan Grill and El Gaucho make for a potent duo (and I haven't even visited the Buenos Aires Grill).

I never thought dry aging steaks made THAT much of a difference but it does. It strikes me as a rather weird process but hey, it tastes good!

I have been meaning to point this place out for a while. Canarsie, it's close enough for you to try it.

Sunset Grill Steaks & Seafood in Covington, Georgia.

The Breakfast Creek Hotel in Brisbane, Australia boasts "World Famous Steaks", and I agree they're damn good! (In fact, OzFest III attendees recently dined there).


The steaks are cooked to perfection, and served in a no-nonsense manner, with an Idaho potato, bacon sauce, coleslaw, slices of tomato and a bread roll.
And instead of being US or Agentine beef,

The Brekky Creek is committed to serving only 100% Meat Standards Authority (MSA) endorsed, prime aged beef from the best cattle producers in Australia. We are proud to offer a selection of 1824 steaks, the flagship beef of AACo, the Australian Agricultural Company, which is Australia’s oldest agricultural company and one of the world’s largest producers of natural, pasture bred cattle.

For maximum tenderness and consistency, AACo cattle are finished on a mixture of grains (corn, sorghum and wheat) and other high quality ingredients, most of which the company grows on its Goonoo farms near Emerald in central Queensland, before being carefully selected for its branded 1824 beef.

1824 is an elite, hand trimmed, genuine aged range of premium farm-direct beef products. The range is processed through Nolan Meats’ stringent quality controls, MSA graded to a minimum 4 star standard and portion controlled to exacting specifications by Chefs Partner.
Best steak in Australia and I dare say the best steak in the world!

Thank you to all those who recommended Circus Circus steakhouse :D ^

I would have never discerned that such a fine, tender chunk of beef could be found at such a cheesy relic from my 70's childhood. I put my neck on the line July 2 being accompanied by snobby companions (who were aghast that I would rec someplace other than Prime, Delmonico's, etc.), but I came out unscathed. Everyone (4) enjoyed their steaks. So my trust in fellow FT'ers is well and good.
