Don't say Ruth Chris cause it's not very good there. The cut of meat looked great but the flavor was very under whelming for all 4 of us at the table. Their appetizer though was the best I've ever had(some shrimp in creole rouge sauce).

Need something at that price point or less. What would you recommend?

Morton's. Fleming's. The Palm.I always thought Mortons was more expensive than CR and they had some sort of dress code. I just don't want to go to a place where I have to wear a sport coat/blazer. Heard of Flemings to, I'll look them up. Haven't heard of the Palm though. I'd rather not go to the river walk if that's possible. Thanks

I know a lot of folks will say ugh to The Saltgrass, but I've always had delicious steak and great service there. They have good appetizers too. I've only been to the one on 281 at Thousand Oaks.

That location is better than most fancy steakhouses in the city. That's where we always go.

I've gotten steaks there I could cut with a fork. I really like Saltgrass.

Skip the steakhouse, spend $70 on two nice slabs of dry aged beef from Central Market or Whole Foods instead. Salt, pepper, olive oil.

Maybe Fleming's.That's what I'am thinking. Mortons has a dress code and is uptight. Flemings location is nice plus from their site, it looks great. No dress code but a really nice place.

Kirby's Steakhouse is legit...Damn you had to bring them up. Lot more casual, live music on the day I'd like to go.

How was the wine list, how did you enjoy this place?

I can't speak to the Fleming's in SA, but the one in Salt Lake is great. Never had anything there but incredible food and service.

I too, have been underwhelmed by Ruth's Chris.

As a disclaimer. I got a buddy who cooks at Fleming's, so I might've been getting a better experience than that of an unaffiliated diner.

This, cook it yourself and get it the way you want it. Although it is nice to once in awhile to go out and get a nice steak. I usually disappointed though.

Oh wow. I didn't know that place was a chain. The one here in Addison didn't last that long and I was shocked to see it go so fast.

Is Longhorn Steakhouse any good? There's a new one being built near us.

I've always heard good things about Bohanan's.

http://www.bohanans.com/

It's very good! And they put rose petals in the toilets! They just redid the bar downstairs and it's really cool.

I've been to Flemings plenty of times and it's not as good as it once once.

Shelly, not being snarky or any thing, but how does that work exactly??? Is there an attendant in there to replenish the rose petals after you flush, or do they come out of a hole in the ceiling? I guess I'm just a podunk from podunk town, but I really am curious to know.:)

Fleming's is orgasmic.

I always start with calamari, get the bone-in ribeye (sides vary), and get the lava cake for dessert. It's an awesome place when the wife and I want a special night out.

It's okay. Comparable in quality and price as Saltgrass or something like that.

Ounce the one on 1604 and blanco? Haven't been there but I've heard it's good.

The Palm is my favorite out of the ones I've been to, but that new Longhorn Steakhouse on 1604 and I10 isn't bad.

Yeah, the one of Blanco. It is good. Not the best, but I was just throwing out some different ideas.

I hated that place. I've been to several all-you-can-eat meat places like that before (which I love), and Chamagucha (sp?) was by far the worst. The quality of the meats didn't seem that great and everything was salted to hell and back. Maybe I just went on a bad night.

There's a similar place in Vegas that I eat at every time I go... can't think of the name at the moment, just know where it is. That place is awesome though.
