[[{“value”:”Outback Steakhouse is one of America’s most popular restaurants for steaks. However, some diners say it isn’t the best. If you are craving a delicious, juicy steak, a handful of steakhouses serve great cuts of meat cooked perfectly and served with sensational sides. Where should you feast on steak? Here are 5 steakhouse chains that diners say serve better steaks than Outback.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse is one of the best places to go for a budget-friendly steak, according to diners and even research. The most recent Technomic Top 500 data found that the Texas-themed steakhouse is the biggest casual dining spot in the country. Diners love that the steaks are tasty, portions are huge, the service is fantastic, and the prices are right. “Our local Roadhouse is extremely well managed. It shows from the service to the food,” one person said. Another said it is “pretty good for the price,” adding they “really recommend going there.”
LongHorn Steakhouse
LongHorn Steakhouse is my favorite budget-friendly chain for a good cut of meat at an affordable price. While it isn’t the best steak I’ve ever had, I’ve definitely paid twice as much for steak that isn’t nearly as good. For example, the 6-ounce filet, which comes with two sides, is under $25. Insider secret: A manager from The Capital Grille told me that because LongHorn is in the Darden family, the steaks come from the same places as theirs, so you are guaranteed good cuts. “I got the 20 oz outlaw ribeye at Longhorn and was shocked at the quality and how well it was prepared,” one Redditor wrote. “Huge baked potato and great Caesar salad all for $32. Big fan!” It is also super consistent in terms of quality. “My local longhorn nails it every time,” another says.
The Capital Grille
The Capital Grille isn’t cheap, but it is my favorite high-end chain for great steaks, sides, and desserts paired with unparalleled service. I’ve never had a bad steak or subpar service at this fine-dining restaurant. “Best steak I’ve ever had,” declares a Redditor. The sides and desserts are also fantastic, and the portion sizes are generous enough for two or three people to share.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House
Ruth’s Chris is another “you get what you pay for” high-end steakhouse. Since opening in New Orleans in 1965, it has maintained a reputation for having some of the best butter-sizzling steaks in the country. The restaurant serves only USDA Prime and higher, using a wet-aging process to ensure tenderness and flavor without resorting to freezing. The high-quality steaks are cooked in 1200-degree ovens, and diners call them “top tier” and delicious. “Ruthies will never let me down. Even on a well-done steak it still melts :)” one Redditor said.
Del Frisco’s Double Eagle
Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse and Grille is another high-end option that has won prestigious honors for its wine programs and dining experiences, including the Wine Spectator Grand Awards and Best of Award of Excellence for its extensive wine lists, OpenTable Diners’ Choice Awards, and the Concierge Choice Award. The steaks are next-level gourmet. The filet at Del Frisco’s is “absolute perfection,” according to Redditors.
