[[{“value”:”I am one of those people who enjoys pairing high-end and bougie items with cheap but high-quality accompaniment, and this can be anything from wearing designer bags and expensive bling with Amazon sweatpants to ordering an expensive and decadent steak with a simple side. For example, have you ever ordered filet mignon with onion rings? While not the most common pairing, the fork-tender, tasty steak, eaten alongside battered and fried onions, is the ultimate indulgence. Where can you get the best filet and onion rings? Here are 5 steakhouse chains with the best filet and onion rings, according to diners.
Texas Roadhouse
The Filet Medallions dinner at Texas Roadhouse is one of the most popular orders with regulars. The meal comes with three 3-ounce filet medallions, “which is a total of 9 oz of Filet that costs $1 less than the 8oz Filet,” one diner explains in a feed. The Medallions are served on a bed of rice and come with your choice of two sides. “You can also pay a small upcharge to add 1x more 3oz medallion which price varies but is a great way to ensure leftovers or a very hearty meal for a great bang for the buck and is very easily slept on menu item,” the diner added. Add fried onion action with the “Cactus Blossom, a large, battered, and deep-fried onion cut to resemble a blooming flower. “Way better than outback,” one Redditor says. “A thing of beauty,” adds another.
LongHorn Steakhouse
Flo’s Filet, a 6- or 9-ounce serving of filet mignon, is one of the best values of any steakhouse. Again, this isn’t the best filet I’ve ever had, but it’s honestly better than many far more expensive steaks. At under $30 and including two sides, it’s the most affordable option and still delicious. The boldly seasoned “Texas Tonion” is basically a deconstructed version of the traditional Bloomin’ Onion, and it is divine. I recently feasted on the appetizer at my local LongHorn in Jenkintown, PA, and can confirm it is delicious. It comes with a zesty, creamy Thousand Island-style dipping sauce with a strong horseradish kick.
Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse diners swear by Victoria’s Filet Mignon, another value-driven filet. “The filet is also pretty lean and the most tender(my favorite),” a Redditor says. Diners also stand by the Bloomin’ Onion. “OutBack’s seasoning on the blooming onion and the sauce is still the best,” one diner says.

Logan’s Roadhouse
Logan’s Roadhouse filet is a fan favorite. “The filet mignon melted in your mouth,” says a diner. Another maintains it is “cooked to perfection,” in a review. “The steaks are always juicy and tender and sometimes we don’t hardly need knives to cut them….a huge plus in our book.” The chain also serves Beer-Battered Onion Rings as a signature appetizer, using Miller Lite beer batter.
Ruth’s Chris Steak House
Ruth’s Chris Steak House serves a signature sizzling filet mignon that is buttery and tender every time. There is also a bone-in filet. “Unparalleled tenderness and flavor,” the chain wrote in an Instagram post. “Absolutely incredible!” writes a Redditor. The chain also features French Fried Onion Rings as a classic side dish on its menu, known for being massive, thick-cut, and crispy.
