Best steaks are at Texas Roadhouse, but you have to drive to outer cities to hit one up. Pricing around $20 a person, the Ribeye and baked potato are killer. The strip clubs don't have the best steak in town!

Those are up north too. For a chain, it is one of my favorite places to go for steaks!! Only thing I dislike is that they are almost always out of prime rib everytime I go!!! (i usually dont go til 7 or later, thats why...)

This right here, no joke. If you like wine, Nick & Sam's list is ridiculous. I honestly think the steak is better also.

Pappas's Bros is good as well, but it's not as close as Bob's and Nick & Sam's.
