I'd agree on the Outback for the best steak for everyday prices but for that real special occasion (or for all you mega rich people out there) Chris Ruth's has to be the best. The steaks are to die for, they are reallt delicious. The prices are to die for also - you almost have a heart attack when you see the cost and salads and veggies have to be paid for as extras. Mmm <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>I'm drooling just thinking about them.

Chris Ruth's?
Never heard of it!
Whereabouts is it?

We were told that for the best steaks you need to go to a chop house-well I've yet to see one.

Has anyone come across one-or has even ben.
This was from a lady who loved her food!

Got to disagree about the steaks, Charlie's is the best steak house, Carrabas is the best Italian, they do the best wine at Carrabas as well, I have this on the highest authority as my friend drinks wine as a hobby !!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Got to agree Charlies is definately No1, the best yet, nice service friendly staff, oh the presentation platter is great.You get what you pay for excellent quality.

In support of Jacqui, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is an incredible dining experience although I haven't visited one in Florida. Apparently there's one on Sand Lake Road. We stopped in to a Ruth's Chris on the way back from the Blue Mountains and it is very expensive. We too were rather surprised that you only get your steak and everything else is considered a "side" and accordingly has to be paid for seperately. However, these side's are sizeable and easily shared and the steak is melt-in-your-mouth superb. The surroundings are rather special and they take great care of you, even when you're a bunch of tired, slightly dishevelled tourists with equally tired and dishelleved wee ones.

I've already given my support to Outback in another thread (the takeout option makes life so easy) but anyone tried Del Frisco's to corroborate the OS article?

Kind regards

Just to put a spanner in the works we did`nt like Outback I did`nt have steak but pasta it was very dry and the chicken a bit rubbery Keith had the streak and said he`d had better, it was a little disappointing as we had looked forward to a mega blowout there, still the Chocolate tower was fab

Ruths Chris..mmmmmm
Fantastic service and steaks but you must try their mashed potato.It makes the meal. Believe me.

i got to disagree about Charlies the only steak that I have had as bad as there was Tj's and thats saying something. Just didnt enjoy Charlies especially as they never had half of the types of steaks that they were showing.

Charlies on I-Drive is over rated. Ruths Chris is on another level.
