Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Since we have hot dogs settled lets get down to business and name your favorite steak house in WNY and the best steak you ever had regardless of location. The best steak I ever had was at EB Greens but the last time I was there it tasted like any other run of the mill steak I could have gotten at some diner. I'm tired of eating crappy steak and I want to have a place I can rely on when I go out to eat. I liked Beefeaters in Bradford and Beef & Barrel in Olean but their taste, tenderness and texture have gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Can't speak to WNY, but, the best steak I've ever had was at Rick's Chophouse in McKinney, Tx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I have never eaten at a steak house per se in WNY, but Petes Market House in the Falls used to do a fabulous prime rib for like $12.95. Have. It been in over a decade, so can't vouch for it anymore. Btw, but you own prime steak, do a quick dry age, cook it yourself. Prolly why I never go to steakhouses, too easy to do on your own. Here is a quick dry age method from Alton brown. I have tried the cooking under the chimney starter(imitates a 1200 degree broiler...let's just say you have to be very careful of time. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/dry-aged-chimney-porterhouse-recipe.html Edited November 9, 2014 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) One of the best steaks of my life I had was yesterday. It was a skirt steak. The dish consisted of a beef tongue demi, a layer of stacked french fries, boerenkaas cheese, more demi, then 3 very thin pieces of tongue layered over the fries and then the skirt. The beef tongue literally melts as it hits your saliva. The skirt steak was so flavorful and the demi was out of this world. I licked the plate with my finger.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Delmonico's in Syracuse is very good for steak, although I usually get the chicken riggies when I go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Not sure about WNY, but best steak I've ever had is at Stripsteak in Las Vegas. Michael Mina is a food god. They butter poach their steaks and then finish them on a wood grill, soooooo good. Edited November 9, 2014 by BlueFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has re-opened under a different name*, however. When I was back in July I almost went for lunch, but then plans changed. It was never a GREAT steak/prime rib, but for the money it was hard to beat. Way back when John's Flaming Hearth turned out a very good steak at a reasonable price. It's been gone for quite a few years. Since I no longer live in the area, it is hard for me to speak to what is good now. But I have always had excellent luck with the steak at Fortuna's in Niagara Falls. Reasonably priced and you can get it with a side of pasta, gnocchi, whatever. My buddy Joe Fortuna still runs the place and is usually in the kitchen. I've had too many great steaks to call one the best. Luger's in NYC was spectacular, but that was many years ago. But I'd bet it's still great. Sparks is good, too. In SF I've always like The House of Prime Rib--hard to find a better value for a high end meal. IMO. And also Harris' The Steakhouse was pretty damn good, too. *Just Googled it and found Pete's is now called "Market House Steak and Spirits". According to the few reviews posted, it seems to be similar in concept to Pete's. Which makes a lot of sense for Niagara Falls. I'd love to get a review from someone here, if you go.

John Cocktosten Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Buffalo Chophouse is the best steak in Buffalo but if you want anything other than steak good luck because everything else is terrible on their menu. Best steak that I've ever had was CraftSteak in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Fiore's inside the Harrah's casino in Valley Center, Ca. A little pricey but worth the extra money. The sommelier is awesome there as well, he has his own TV show. Best steak at home was grassfeed beef raised in Ramona, so ya Jboyst your steaks are probably awesome. Do you ship your steaks?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I just discovered this small chain on the east coast called BLT Steakhouse. Great steak. Awesome popovers. I actually thought it was better than Morton's. For grilling at home, nothing beats a delmonico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in Tokyo. I have had a few opportunities to sell at local restaraunts but its always a hastle. They do not want to pay reasonable costs, I can excuse regular cost because of bulk, but the cost is completely different when dealing with a smaller operation vs a much larger and developed network - mostly transport costs. So, just sell what I have to your homes kitchen - nothing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
