This is my first, and probably my last, pole. I don't want to turn into a pole slut!

So, what's your favorite steak place? I seem to have settled on the Road House. Excellent service, cold draft beer, and peanut shells on the floor! Oh, and steak too!

Couldn't find a website for them, but it is the only place I will eat steak (the only steak I have liked, and of course the most expensive)

The Keg can cook up some pretty good steaks if you're just looking for something basic but well executed.

We don't have any dedicated steak places here, but the closest would be the Hog's Breath, or the .Ball & Chain. They both do a bloody good steak, but then again, so do most pubs around here.

I've got two favorites.

1. For down-home, tourist-trap atmosphere and the biggest hunk of meat you've ever seen, it's gotta be...

The Big Texan

Yeah, a little out of the way for most folks, and terribly cliche' but the vegetable beef soup is awesome.

2. At the other end of the spectrum is...

Morton's of Chicago

Okay, I'll admit that I usually only go there when someone else is buying, but the food is great, and the service is stellar.

If it were just the steak, I would say The Keg....mmmm the Keg.....

but I lurve the way the Outback does their baked potatoes, so that's who I voted for.

Not that I eat steak that often.

Not quite a steak house, but...

The resuraunt in the Stanley hotel, Estes Park CO.
Order the fillet minion. Do it!
Ever heard people talk about a steak that melts in your mouth, tender as cotton candy? I thought it was some kind of metaphor... Until I tried that steak!

And bonus: the Stanley is a neat hotel with a great history. Tour the museum, and see one of the few existing complete Stanley Steamer cars. The founder, Freelan Oscar Stanley, was one two brothers famous for their automobiles, the Stanley Steemer.

I growed up around them parts. That is a mighty good steak, and the soup is quite awesome. If you have about $70 to blow, take a stab at the "Free 72ox Steak Dinner".
You get:
1- 72oz steak, cooked the way you want it.
1 Baked Potato
1 Salad
1 Vegetable side

And it's free! If you can eat it all, every bit, in an hour. I personally know one person who did it, and his nickname was Tapeworm.

I'm going to abstain from casting a ballot.

On the one hand, my favorite few steak places aren't listed because they're local (not necessarily here) restaurants (topped by The Beef House). On the other hand, of the ones you list, I like Outback the best: I can't not finish their sirloins.

MJones · 03-17-2003, 08:03 AM

Yeah, after I posted the pole, I realized that I only had a few of the big names around this area. I didn't even think of all the little local places that many people like. If I ever get to do some travelling, I'll have to stop in on some these places.

Funny, no one's even voted for the home cooked steak...
