THEWOOD Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Mortons but that is a given....I also really like the steaks at Keefers and Blue Water Grille. Lonestar has good steaks on the cheap. I have never eaten at Ruth Chris, but I did hear they soaked them in tons of butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good thing about Ruth's Chris; if they undercook your steak, the plate they serve it on could melt iron. Oh, and the butter does the job.

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) Gibson's I love how they bring the cuts out to you and let you select which one you want to eat. Its a little pricey to eat there but worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 The thing I don't like is apprently most steak places charbroil, and I hate that. I like it grilled. I should really go try one of those fancy places, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of the Ruth Chris experience is the sound of your butter cooked steak sizzling as it comes to your table, then the smell of delicioius steak, then the taste. WildFire in Oakbrook is another good place. Nice steaks, great sides, nice atmosphere. Those are my two favorites. It has been fun reading everyones thoughts and now I have a few other places to try out. What about Ponderosa?

I mean ours are still good don't get me wrong. The best steak I ever had in my life was in Argentina. The second best was on my honeymoon in Aruba at an Argentinian steak house. Their cattle is raised on a better feed, doesnt have all of the steroids we have in the US, and just tastes better. Argentinian steak houses in the US dont compare because they dont have the real deal which is fresh. I was in Argentina for 2 weeks and ate their steak 2 times a day. Its nice when the dollar just destroys the local currency. Edited January 7, 2006 by southsideirish71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night, hit up wildfire on Erie. Got the chicago cut prime rib, medium rare, emphasis on the rare part. It was amazing prime rib. Had red skin and creamed spinish sides, casear salad. And the famous cookie desert. We had a great meal, I would recommend it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
