While Frankie & Johnnie's Steakhouse is a NY staple for many years it pales in comparasin to Lugers and Old Homestead, plus Wolfgangs was left out of this WTF!!!!!!!!!!

And to top it off, any list that has Ruth Christ NEAR or EVEN IN the Top 10 can not be taken seriously.

It is very high end try it. You cant say XBOX360 is the best until you try PS3. SImiliarly try it and Del Frisco is great too.

Dylan Prime is tight.

The absence of Sparks makes me happy, as I was underwhelmed when I was there.

Strip House is good and a very cool atmosphere, but the food is definitely not as good as Wolfgang's. Very good and worth trying, though.

I really enjoyed Sparks personally

[Voltron87]

this isn't a steak house, but I had an incredibly good steak at Gotham City Grill last week. My appetizer was also top notch, but the people who I was eating with were not impressed with their meals. as in pretty dissatisfied given the reputation and price. the service was also subpar, there was a very long wait for out entrees.

That said, my steak was amazing abd up there with the best, I 100% suggest it if you're there, but other than that bright spot my party's review of the resaurant was pretty negative.

Before I turned vegetarian last week, I was big into steaks. I think Ruth Chris (the one in Weehawken at least) belongs in the top 10. It's better than Frankie and Johnnie's and as good as Del Frisco. It's not as good as Luger's, Palm, and a few others, but it's top 10. Oh and Morton's sucks and doesn't belong even in a top 100.

The best piece of beef I've had anywhere though was at Daniel. Nothing, anwyehre in the world, including all the top places I've eaten at in Vegas and London, compares to the beef at Daniel.

Until I go to Le Bernandin, Masa, and Per Se, I am going to say that Daniel has the best food in the world.

I think your missing the point, no one goes to that place JUST for the steak! Churasqueirria is awsome for the 20 diff type of meats i can eat but its not a top 10 contender.

I know it's the chaniest of the chains but I very much enjoy Capital Grille.

while the OP of this thread is clearly not the most educated steak consumer in the world, i'd like to point out that i've seen this line several times so far, and have a serious issue with it.

let's break down the issue:

xbox 360 - exists
ps3 - doesn't exist

most things that exist outperform most things that do exist, in general.

I agree. I /images/graemlins/heart.gif Capital Grille. They just opened up a Bobby Vans across the street from my office, can't wait to go.

[tonypaladino]

I think we need an OOT Peter Luger trip.

I'd like to name the Worst Steakhouses in NY:

Shula's
Michael Jordan's
Morton's

Gotham is very good, or you could just eat across the street (the location of Strip House).

[citanul]

you went to daniel and had a steak?

[CollinEstes]

I thought Bobby Van's was supposed to be a pretty good steak in New York, no?

[Ulysses]

citanul,

jnalpak is clearly among the most educated steak (and restaurants in general) consumers in NYC. You definitely won't go wrong following his foodie advice.

Hey Suspect,

Did you ever end up finding that mexican place?

Few questions here, figured this is a good place for a hijack.

Diablo, jnalpak, everyone who has been to Wolfgang's: I'm going there again soon, you guys said the bacon was top notch right? Or not? Also anything other sides that are must-eats?

Voltron: Elaborate on Gotham Grill. Been meaning to go there.

I would define "The World" as slightly wider than New York, Weekawken, London, and Las Vegas.

istewart,

wolfgang's is easy. martini. a couple of slices each of bacon to start. steak for x, medium rare. red wine. creamed spinach. cottage fries.

jnalpak has in the past had a couple of other suggestions in addition to the above.

I'm not sure whether I would recommend it, because my food was so good and everyone else's was so... meh. On my food, I would give it a great rating and everyone who tried my steak agreed, but their dishes weren't as good. The sides on my steak (carrots, onion rings, and a custard) were also forgettable. The wait was pretty long for the entrees, and the room was pretty noisy. The noise thing is more of a preference, but it's on the louder side FYI. But the steak was excellent and I loved it, and so was my appetizer, linguini with a cream and mushroom sauce. so get the steak. does this match anyone else's trips there?

Trust me: Ruth Chris at Weehawken cooks a terrific filet. The sides suck. Shrimp app isn't bad.

I'm such a stubborn new yorker, as i dig deeper into this dilemma I now know I am not going to the NYC one, i am going to the one near Roosevelt Mall in LI (i have to commute)...Maybe I'll pick up a suit at Nordstroms :-D

[citanul]

masked man,

i'll trust you on this one, though i was surprised that he hadn't heard of/really hated some of the places on that top 10 list.

anyone dissing on any decent churrascaria deserves to be shot.

This seems to be a common fault at RC. Here in DC while the steaks at RC aren't the greatest, their sides all (A) suck and (B) are served cold.
