A porterhouse or T-bone steak is perfect for times when you want something a little bigger than the typical steak. Ideal for sharing, these big juicy cuts of meat contain both New York strip and filet mignon, allowing diners to have the best of both worlds in one delicious meal. Combined with sides, this is a hearty, special dish that will satisfy even the hungriest guests. Here are five steakhouses with the best porterhouse dinners you can get.

Larsen’s Steakhouse

Larsen’s Steakhouse diners can indulge in the 32 oz. Prime Dry Aged Porterhouse, a big steak made from dry-aged USDA Prime beef. Chargrilled to perfection, this cut goes perfectly with shareable sides like the Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Lobster Mashed Potatoes. The

Macaroni & Cheese is also perfect for sharing: This Five Cheese Macaroni (cheddar, jack, American, Parmesan, and blue) has the option to add sundried tomato and bacon or jalapeno & bacon for $2.

Ruth’s Chris

Ruth's Chris Porterhouse

Ruth’s Chris has a beautiful 40 oz. Porterhouse For Two, a cut the restaurant calls “a steakhouse legend” for good reason. “The Porterhouse is proof that you can have your steak and eat it, too. There’s no choosing between a Filet and a New York Strip with this hearty cut. Enjoy the widest range of textures and the best example of flavors – no matter which side of the bone you pick. And, with our perfected broiling method and seasoning techniques you can rest assured that your last bite of our 40 ounce Porterhouse will be just as good as your first,” the chain says.

LongHorn Steakhouse has a fan-favorite LongHorn Porterhouse on the menu, perfect for one (hungry) person to indulge in. “Got the biggest steak in the game wearing our name!” the chain says. “Our 22 oz. porterhouse combines a bone-in strip and a generous filet into one thick cut, expertly grilled over the fire to bring out the flavor.” This steak goes perfectly with sides like the  Roasted Mushrooms and Crispy Brussels Sprouts.

Texas Roadhouse

Texas Roadhouse has a big Porterhouse T-Bone, which is two steak cuts (filet and strip) in one Texas-sized 23 oz. steak. This steak comes with two sides, like Seasoned Rice and Green Beans. The Grilled Shrimp sidekick is also ideal for those who want more of a surf and turf experience.

Morton’s The Steakhouse

Morton’s The Steakhouse has a huge 36 oz. Dry-Aged Porterhouse on the menu. This huge steak is ideal with soups like the French Onion Soup Gratinée or Lobster Bisque, or enhancements like the Jumbo Grilled Shrimp and Cold-Water Lobster Tail.

I’ve made it no secret that LongHorn Steakhouse is my favorite casual dining chain. I have such hit-or-miss experiences at most chain restaurants, with inconsistent food quality and service. I’ve never had an awful dinner at my local LongHorn in Jenkintown, PA. And let me preface: I am a food snob. In fact, the first time my neighbor, Alex, mentioned he regularly dined at the chain, I literally laughed out loud. I gave it a shot a few years ago, and my kids and I have been regulars ever since. What should you order at LongHorn? Here are the 7 best LongHorn Steakhouse dishes to order this week.

Flo’s Filet

longhorn steakhouse flos filet
Flo’s Filet, a 6- or 9-ounce serving of filet mignon, is my usual order. It isn’t the best filet I’ve ever had, but I challenge you to find a better filet for the price. I also like that it comes in two sizes. The smaller size is under $22 and includes two sides. Sometimes I do the shrimp add-on, but keep reading for my thoughts on that.

The LongHorn Porterhouse

The LongHorn Porterhouse

On a recent visit with my boyfriend, our server, Soniya, recommended the LongHorn Porterhouse, one of the priciest items on the menu at $36.29. “It’s the best of both worlds,” she told me, as the 22-ounce chunk of meat combines a bone-in New York strip with a generous filet mignon. It was honestly delicious and so big that there were plenty of leftovers. It was seasoned to perfection, rich, and fork-tender.

Renegade Sirloin

Longhorn Steakhouse Renegade Sirloin

The most popular steak at LongHorn is the Renegade Sirloin, starting at $16.29. Why? It’s the cheapest option and gets the job done. The  “lean and hearty center-cut top sirloin” is generously seasoned with their signature Prairie Dust, “grilled to perfection,” and comes with two sides.

Redrock Grilled Shrimp


I’ll let you in on a secret: LongHorn Steakhouse has the best shrimp of any chain restaurant. I am super picky with shrimp because I can’t stand the fishy smell or taste that it often comes with. But the Redrock Grilled Shrimp, which can be ordered as a side or entree, tastes so clean. It includes jumbo shrimp that are marinated and grilled on skewers, then glazed with a smoky tomato butter sauce and served over rice.

The Texas Tonion

longhorn steakhouse texas tonion

All the apps at LongHorn are amazing, but the Texas Tonion is perfection. This is how I remember the OG Bloomin’ Onion at Outback tasting: Super fresh, perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection on the inside, and crispy breading on the outside. I like that the onion petals are separated, because there are no soggy bites. And, the “zesty dip” it comes with is super tasty.

Strawberry and Pecan Salad

All the salads at LongHorn are great, including the side salad (I get it with ranch) or the Caesar. My boyfriend recently tried the Strawberry and Pecan as one of his sides. It was delicious, a bed of farm-fresh field greens topped with fresh-cut strawberries, grapes, mandarin oranges, candied pecans, feta, and a refreshing raspberry vinaigrette.

Chocolate Stampede

If you still have room for dessert, order the Chocolate Stampede. The huge, calorically high treat is basically a sampler of all things chocolate. It comes with six different kinds of chocolate, paired with two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. It’s honestly big enough for a huge table to share.

Texas Roadhouse is the number one dining chain in the United States due to one reason: The Lone Star State inspired brand offers delicious food in huge portions for competitively low prices. If you are heading to one for the first time or want to try something new, there are some items that come highly recommended by regulars. Here are the 7 best Texas Roadhouse menu items diners call hidden gems.

Bone-In Ribeye Steak

Meat eaters swear by the Bone-In Ribeye, a 20oz., a “juicy, flavorful ribeye served on the bone for extra flavor,” the menu reads. The steak is cooked to your preference and served with choice of two sides. “I almost always order the ribeye and it’s never disappointed,” one diner said. “I went to Texas Roadhouse back in January for the first time in like 15 years and was blown away by how good it was for the cost. 16oz ribeye, two sides, couple of drinks and got out for $45 with tip,” writes another fan.

Prime Rib

Prime rib is “the hidden gem of Texas Roadhouse,” according to one fan. “Great flavor, and it’s way more consistent than the steaks in terms of quality and doneness. I’ve been eating it for several years and it’s great. One of my favorite meals out from a chain.” Another diner recommends eating it with creamy horseradish, “and save one of those rolls for dessert and dip in that horseradish au jus,” they say. “It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten. Perfect blend of savory and sweet.”

Steak Kebabs

Texas Roadhouse Marinated Steak Kebabs

The steak kebabs are another sleeper item on the menu, offering a decent portion of meat and veggies at a great price point. “For me, at least, the real hidden gem is the kabobs. Somehow, they always seem to nail the cook, and I love the charred veggies,” reveals one Redditor.

Tater Skins

texas roadhouse tater skins

As for an appetizer, the “potato skins are legit!” confirms one Redditor about the item, actually named Tater Skins. It comes with 8 baked potato skins, smothered with melted cheddar cheese and bacon bits, and served with sour cream for dipping.

Filet Medallions

texas roadhouse Filet Medallions

In one Reddit feed, a Texas Roadhouse fan revealed that they swear by the Filet Medallions, which comes with three, 3-ounce medallions of filet, “which is a total of 9 oz of Filet that costs $1 less than the 8oz Filet,” they write. The Medallions are served on a bed of rice and come with two sides and a choice of sauce. “You can also pay a small upcharge to add 1x more 3oz medallion which price varies but is a great way to ensure leftovers or a very hearty meal for a great bang for the buck and is very easily slept on menu item,” they reveal.

Chili

Texas Roadhouse's Texas Red Chili

And, don’t forget to order chili, which is one of the most high-value items. “I know it sounds dumb as a side, but if you’re a meat lover, it’s worth mentioning,” the same Redditor says. “TXRH handcuts all of their steaks. Those trimmings are not wasted,” they continue, adding that this chili is “one of the most expensive chili you could make at home because it is ground Filet, ribeye, strip, and sirloin meat,” they write. “I’m a big fan.”

The New York Strip

Texas Roadhouse New York Strip Steak

You also can’t go wrong with the 12 oz NY/KC strip. “If you want to ensure your steak is cut to order (instead of precut that morning like many 6/8/11 oz Sir) you can always request a specific size as long as it is bigger than the largest size on the menu. For example, 16oz ribeye + 2oz for an small additional cost per oz that varies per restaurant/region and you will get an 18 oz that will be cut the moment that server puts in the order,” one fan said.

A T-bone steak is one of the largest steaks you can get, combining both New York Strip and a Filet Mignon for a hearty cut that is the best of both worlds. Paired with perfectly fried onion rings that are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, this combo is ideal when you want to mix it up a little with the usual steakhouse fare. So which restaurants do both perfectly? Here are five steakhouses with the best t-bone steak and onion rings on the side.

Morton’s The Steakhouse

Morton’s The Steakhouse has a 36 oz. Dry-Aged Porterhouse for the table, a huge, juicy steak meant for sharing.

Those who want to go the steak frites route can opt for the Parmesan & Truffle Matchstick Fries.

Clearman’s Restaurants

Chefs take their steaks seriously, as they know first-hand the work that goes into making a steak worth returning for, again and again: Seasoning, cooking method, and of course, getting the temperature perfect every time. Top quality meat hand-cut and prepped by professionals is one of the best things about prime steakhouse meals, but which ones are the best? Here are six steakhouses praised by professional chefs, who can’t get enough of the delicious food, drinks, and atmosphere.

Cote Korean Steakhouse

COTE Korean Steakhouse

Chef Gordon Ramsay absolutely loves Cote Korean Steakhouse in NYC, raving about the delicious beef and saying the restaurant’s Michelin star is well worth it. The chain also has locations in Singapore, Miami, and Las Vegas. “COTE is the perfect mix of Korean BBQ and a classic New York steakhouse — upscale but still fun and energetic,” one diner said.

Keens Steakhouse NYC

Keens Steakhouse

Keens Steakhouse in NYC is a favorite spot for Chef TJ Lynch, and was one of the late Anthony Bourdain’s favorite steakhouses. “You can’t really do any better or more authentic than Keens, a place that goes right back to the old school all-male world of beefsteak parties, the political power built around beef, bloody aprons, and smoke-filled rooms,” Bourdain said in an episode of No Reservations.

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse

Wolfgang's Steakhouse Porterhouse

Bobby Flay loves Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in NYC, and always orders the Porterhouse. “You hear the juices of the steak bubbling on the side of the plate, and then you have some creamed spinach and the potatoes — it all works really well together,” Flay says. “It’s a serious eat — like it’s one of my most favorite perfect meals.”

Chef Robert Irvine has deep praise for Chicago Cut Steakhouse. “A great steakhouse experience is half food, half atmosphere,” he told Tasting Table. “And yes, of course, I’d only recommend places with great food, but it’s the dark, cozy, old-world atmosphere at Chicago Cut that will really warm your heart, make you want to take three hours to eat, and ultimately stay with you long after your meal is over.”

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés

Chef Thomas Keller has praised Bazaar Meat by José Andrés in Las Vegas. “When I say Bazaar Meat 🥩 is better than EVER, I know it’s a bold statement,” says chef Lorraine Blanco Moss. “It’s been called one of the best steakhouses in America. It’s served and impressed some of the highest caliber chefs in the world – from Chef Thomas Keller to a pioneer in modernist cuisine, Ferran Adria, and the chef of the century, Joel Robuchon.”

Bourbon Steak

Bourbon Steak

Chef Ina Garten says the cheeseburger at Bourbon Steak in Washington D.C. is the best she’s ever had. “I had it this afternoon: It was in the Four Seasons. Is it called Bourbon Steak? Oh my god,” she said. “Chef Garten just declared us the best cheeseburger she’s ever had — what a compliment,” executive chef Quentin Welch told Eater. “As a long-time admirer of her work, it’s truly humbling to know we made such a lasting impression on her.”

Going out for steak is never going to be the cheapest option for a meal, but it doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive, either. Several restaurants offer hearty steak dinners for a reasonable price, especially when you take sides and fresh bread into account.

]]>
If you’ve ever had a steak that was truly exceptional in terms of size, fat, meat, and bone, trimmed to perfection and clearly handled with love and care, chances are high a skilled butcher hand-cut it in-house. Hand-carving a steak allows the butcher to take a good steak and turn it into something near-perfect, with every element thoughtfully adjusted so the diner gets exactly what they asked for. So where are these unicorn cuts to be found? Here are five chain restaurants where the steaks are hand-cut in the back.

Smith & Wollensky

Smith & Wollensky Ribeye

Smith & Wollensky diners expect only the best, and that includes the skill needed to carve every steak to perfection. “Our beef is chosen from the top 2% of cattle in America and selected for rich, even marbling,” the restaurant says. “Our classic steakhouse cuts are USDA Prime, grain fed, and humanely raised. Further enhanced through in-house aging for a minimum of 28 days, the steaks’ natural flavor and tenderness are intensified.”

LongHorn Steakhouse

LongHorn Steakhouse hand-cuts their fresh, never frozen steaks in-house every day. “Don’t settle for less. Get a steak that’s always fresh, never frozen, and custom-trimmed,” the restaurant says. “LongHorn is solid. It’s my wife and I’s favorite restaurant. I will continue to sacrifice going out to splurge on this once in a while. I’ve always had a fantastic meal at Longhorn,” one fan said.

Hand Cut Chop House

Hand Cut Chop House

As the name suggests, Hand Cut Chop House offers guests only the best hand-cut in-house steaks. “Our main dish was Sea Bass and ribeye steak and we shared mashed potatoes,” one diner said. “It’s been a long while since we’ve had a meal this good. It’s a bit expensive but worth every penny!”

Texas Roadhouse

Texas Roadhouse is known for fresh, never frozen steaks handled by an in-house meat cutter, or butcher, who hand-cuts every steak the restaurant serves. “Legendary means hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch sides, ice-cold beer, and of course, our irresistible fresh-baked bread,” the chain says.

The Capital Grille

The Capital Grille Dry Aged Porterhouse

The Capital Grille has in-house experts making sure every steak is hand-cut with love and care. “Long before our steaks meet the grill, they are meticulously dry aged on premises for 18 – 24 days to achieve incomparable flavor and texture,” the chain says. “Then, each is hand-carved by our in-house butchers to exacting standards. An intensive process, but we’re confident you’ll agree it is most certainly worth it.”

One of my father’s favorite meals? Sirloin steak slathered in grilled onions. I myself prefer to eat my steak alongside some crispy onion rings or petals, but any way you prepare them, there is something about the flavor combination that just gets it right. If you are a fan of breaded and deep-fried onions as well as steak, there are a handful of places that get the meal just right. Here are 4 chain restaurants serving the best sirloin steak and onion rings.

Texas Roadhouse 8oz Sirloin

Texas Roadhouse serves up big-flavor steaks at an unbeatable value, and the best deal is the sirloin. The 8-ounce, served with sides, is delicious. If you want some fried onion action, order the “Cactus Blossom, a large, battered, and deep-fried onion cut to resemble a blooming flower. “Way better than outback,” one Redditor says. “A thing of beauty,” adds another.

LongHorn Renegade Sirloin Steak

On the LongHorn Steakhouse menu,  the 8-oz. The Renegade Sirloin meal is the most popular order. For $19.29, you get a lean, hearty center-cut top sirloin, seasoned with the signature Prairie Dust and grilled to perfection, with a side and a salad of your choice. The sirloin is also on the kids’ menu. For an app, order the boldly seasoned, onion “Tonion”, which is basically a deconstructed version of the traditional Bloomin’ Onion, and it is divine. I recently feasted on the appetizer at my local LongHorn in Jenkintown, PA, and I couldn’t stop eating it. It comes with a zesty, creamy Thousand Island-style dipping sauce with a strong kick of horseradish.

Outback Center-Cut Sirloin

Outback‘s boldly seasoned Aussie-inspired steaks and legendary Bloomin’ Onion put the steakhouse on the map. The Outback Center Cut Sirloin is a popular option. “Center-cut for tenderness. Lean, hearty and full of flavor,” according to the menu, then “seasoned and seared” and served with two freshly made sides for $17.99. The 8-ounce version is $20.79. “The sirloin is the most popular, it’s a very lean steak,” one Redditor says. “Overall I’d say the sirloin is the best now,” another adds. And, diners stand by the fried onion dish. “OutBack’s seasoning on the blooming onion and the sauce is still the best,” one diner says.
