Best place to get a steak
I just got the idea for for this thread from the knives for dinner thread. In my opinion the best steak you can get anywhere is a fillet mignon at Texas Roadhouse. There is nothing that compares with it.
I generally like grilling my own, but there was a small restaurant back home that would cook a mean filet mignon with bleu cheese on top.

a filet mignon at my firehouse. our cook is just awesome, he buys the filet from costco and the way he cooks it beats alot of steak reasturants that i have been to. we used to get our steaks from the same place that alot of the famous steak joints would buy from but they quit giving us a discount, i am sure some fireman messed it up for the rest of us .

For me it was the Old San Francisco Steak House in San Antonio, Texas. It was really great when I went there in the mid 1990s. It closed then reopened and was still pretty good when I went there again in 2008, although I felt the steaks may have been a bit better in the mid 1990s.
Prime rib was always my favorite to get at the Old San Francisco Steak House. Outstanding in its preparation and very tender, and in the mid 1990s it would melt in your mouth. The atmosphere is most outstanding, and they still have the gal on the swing kicking the cow bell on the ceiling.

Matt, I may have eaten at The Chop House before. When my Daughter and I were in the Gatlingurg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville area a few weeks ago we ate at a really good place somewhere in the Pigeon Forge, Sevierville area on the West bound side main. I remember we commented on it being comparable to Texas Roadhouse because that's a hobby of ours when we travel to try and find a fillet as good as T.R. We discussed eating at the T.R. at the East end of town but decided to support the local businesses while in the area. S.G. is that the Texas Roadhouse you were talking about?
how do you do
responses very good! )

I grew up in Cow Country - Oklahoma U.S.A.
There is a little restaurant right outside the front gate of the Oklahoma City Stockyard that has been serving up slabs of beef for over 100 years - Cattlemen's Cafe. Hands down the best beef you'll ever put in your mouth.

There was a place in Can Cun across from the hotel I went to every time I stayed there. Filet Mignon for about $4 american back then. For those whove been there the steak seemed bigger just like all the fruits. Giant Papyas, Mangos, etc. I haven't been there in over 10 years but when I used to go with my family every year ( 6 straight years) they really took care of the tourists.
I don't think I've ever had a filet anywhere that large or tender. That, and papayas as big as our large watermelons. It was great.
Usually I cook steaks at home though.

I prefer a big ol' ribeye and although I do like the steaks at the Texas Roadhouse, I've found an even better ribeye steak at the Texas Land & Cattle restaurant in San Antonio, TX.
