Restaurants Perfect For Damn Good Steaks

our suggestions

  1. Picca
    9.0

    Picca

    9575 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA

    Dining in Los Angeles is different than dining in New York. You probably don’t need us to tell you that, but every time we eat food in this town, we’re reminded of the fact that having a valet out in front of the restaurant is just about as essential as getting good press. Let’s just [...]

  2. Marea
    8.8

    Marea

    240 Central Park S, Columbus Circle, NY

    Marea definitely needs some good Infatuation press…they haven’t gotten much love lately. Makes you wonder if people around these parts have even heard of it. I mean, it’s only been awarded Best New Restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation. While we haven’t yet logged enough hours on the road to make that kind [...]

  3. Peter Luger
    8.7

    Peter Luger Steak House

    178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

    Many of us tri-state area Jews have fond memories of summer camp. We’re shipped off into the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania to learn how to fend for ourselves. Being peer pressured into pulling pranks, lighting firecrackers, smoking weed and of course, going on bunk raids to steal all the girls bras and proudly display for [...]

  4. BLT Prime
    8.6

    BLT Prime

    111 E 22nd St., Gramercy, NY

    This is not your grandfather’s steakhouse. The crowd is buzzing with return customers, most of them young, lower Manhattan types wearing jeans and button downs who prefer BLT Prime’s modern take on the steakhouse to the more traditional spots uptown.

  5. Keens
    8.4

    Keens Steakhouse

    72 W. 36th Street, Midtown, NY

    Keens is as Old New York as you can get. Open since 1885, this place is loaded with history. It’s pretty much the Museum of Natural Meat Eating History.

  6. St Anselm
    8.1

    St Anselm

    355 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY

    Tweets, emails and phone calls have been coming in fast and furious recently, demanding we get to St. Anselm immediately. When the Infatuation Nation speaks, we listen. Same goes for The Underground Gourmet, one of our most trusted sources, who have raved about this place. Even though it’s only been open for a couple months, [...]

  7. Strip House
    8.0

    Strip House

    13 E. 12th St., Greenwich Village, NY

    Strip House is a vibey downtown bordello of goodness, and is the antithesis to the things we hate about a place like Sparks or The Palm.

  8. Quality Meats
    7.8

    Quality Meats

    57 W. 58th Street, Midtown, NY

    Even though it’s in Midtown, this multi-level meat market serves up one of our favorite steaks in town, and it’s not what you might expect from a steakhouse in the area.

  9. Minetta Tavern
    7.7

    Minetta Tavern

    113 MacDougal St., Greenwich Village, NY

    So much hype. We like Minetta Tavern, but come on…everyone needs to chill out. Plus, we don’t approve of restaurants with bouncers.

  10. Les Halles
    7.6

    Les Halles

    411 Park Avenue South, Flatiron, NY

    If what you know of Anthony Bourdain is entirely based on No Reservations, you might expect that a restaurant under his watch would be all about ethnic food, random animal parts, and booze (which would actually be amazing). But Les Halles is a straightforward French bistro, and it’s all about the steaks and the fries.
