Del Frisco, Ruth Chris, B&B, Capital Grill, and Eddie V's are all great. Wouldn't turn down a meal from any of them.
Yep...the very one. Started going there when I was in high school.The one on Alta Mere closed?
Coincidentally, I have the same Weber. Thanks for the advice.I don’t know if there is any right way. I cook at about 5-6 inches below grill but extremely hot fire. 70% oak with 30% mesquite. Pre-charred hardwood. I cook with lid on a giant Weber that is mounted on a cart. I sear at 4-6 minutes per side depending on thickness of steak. 4-5 minutes per side on 2 finger thick and 6 minutes on a 3 finger thick cut. I eat a steak medium rare.
Another way, especially on thicker cuts is build your fire on one side of the grill and 3-4 minutes on side and finish on indirect heat with lid down. Use temp probe until you get your timing down.
Always rest meat for 5 minutes after coming off the grill no matter how you cook it.
My way is to always have a hot fire. You cannot do that on a gas grill unless you have you with an infrared burner that get hots enough to sear the steak, then finish on regular burner or indirect next to infrared burner(my preference).
Wish there was a Vic and Anthony’s in town. Ate at the one in downtown Houston and it was incredible.
Ditto. All three were pretty disappointing considering the price point. I’d add Grace to that list too, but know CGP loves it.I concur with Del Friscos. In the past few weeks we ate there and at B&B. I don’t really care for B&B, Ruth’s Chris or Bob’s.
I am with for an affordable steak. I also like Texas Roadhouse for an affordable steak, the one pick at the meat counter for them to cook.
But, I don’t eat steak out that much because I grill prime cuts at home over hardwood at a fraction of the cost that will stand up to most high end steakhouses. When I typically eat at a steakhouse, it is because I am being treated by a friend or business function.

Bob’s is now owned in part by Omni hotels. The only one that isn’t is the original which Bob just bought back after being ousted a few years back. It’s phenomenal. I’ve eaten, through work, at great steak restaurants across the country, but no one makes a better bone in ribeye. But only the Lemon location. After that it’s pretty ordinary.The lemon location is where I meet my wife. No kidding we meet at the bar before dinner in 2001. I invited her and her friends to my table and it has been fun since then. I still don’t like their presentation.
Did you know that the lemon bob’s is the original location of del frisco’s? The red rose stained glass was the original del’s promotional gesture as each female patron got a rose for a time.
Capital Grille is owned by the same company that owns Olive Garden. That has to be a red flag. They also own Eddie V’s.At the upper price point, I'd say Del Frisco's because I've been many times and feel like I can count on having a great steak and great service. Bob's, Mercury and Ruth's Chris are all good and if someone wanted to go there instead of Del Frisco's, I'd be fine with it. Silver Fox seems inconsistent. It's been very good and just meh. I don't get Capital Grille. It was ok but I expect better than just ok for what it claims to be. Maybe I should try it again because a lot of people really seem to like it.
Cattlemen's is pretty good for the price point if you like old school. Hoffbrau would be my favorite of the moderate priced places. Have never had a bad meal there.
So can I just stop by your place for steak on my birthday?I am with for an affordable steak. I also like Texas Roadhouse for an affordable steak, the one pick at the meat counter for them to cook.
