4 Essential Steakhouses in Dallas, Texas
Being in a big city like Dallas, there’s no shortage of fine steakhouses to choose from for a lovely night out. But which ones are the very best? If you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to a high-quality cut of steak, check out our top four picks for steakhouses in North Texas.
1. Bob’s Steak and Chop House
4300 Lemmon Ave, Dallas, TX 75219
(214) 528-9446
Bob’s has been a household name in Dallas since 1993 and has five locations across the metroplex. While each location has its own personality, you can find the original Bob’s off Lemmon Ave. Cowboys boots and hats are welcome! Bob’s specializes in serving big, flavorful steaks that are hand-selected from the top two percent of USDA prime beef. Be ready for Texas-sized portions of the shareable side dishes, including the signature glazed carrot stick.
2. Nick and Sam’s Steakhouse
3008 Maple Ave, Dallas, TX 75201
(214) 871-7444
Located in bustling Uptown Dallas, Nick and Sam’s is a popular destination for young professionals and seasoned pros alike. The contemporary restaurant was awarded the Five Star Award in 2008 and continues to draw a crowd for dinner, drinks (with over 500 wine labels) and elaborate desserts. If you dine here for a birthday, we strongly recommend you try one of their incredible cakes. Enjoy their Wagyu selections, plus seafood and sushi entrees.
3. Ruth’s Chris Steak House
17840 Dallas Pkwy, Dallas, TX 75287
(972) 250-2244
This chain is an oldie, but a goodie. Ruth’s Chris is home to sizzling steaks served on 500-degree plates. They mean serious business here with their steaks. The restaurant’s beefy and juicy steaks are never frozen and go through a wet-aged process – which heavily tenderizes the meat. Also guests can enjoy larger than life crab cakes, a chilled seafood tower and other seafood delights. Check out the restaurant’s weekly hour happy hour at the bar, including discounted prices on select appetizers, entrees, cocktails and wine. (Happy hour times and prices may vary per location.)
4. Y.O. Steakhouse
702 Ross Ave, Dallas, TX 75202
(214) 744-3287
A hearty Texas-style steak dinner awaits at Y.O. Steakhouse in Dallas. The meat is derived from the restaurant’s ranch, Y.O. Ranch, located in the Hill Country. Enjoy meats seasoned with the brand’s very own herbs and spices, plus a secret finishing sauce. If you enjoy wild game meats, you’ll find an extensive selection here as well, including the signature buffalo filet mignon dish.
