Diners share their favorite tender cuts from popular steakhouses.
When it comes to good steak, texture is everything—there is nothing worse than an overcooked steak, or one where the quality is so bad the meat is tough and rubbery. Even upscale steakhouses don’t always get it right, but certain restaurants are raved about by diners for having the most beautiful, melt-in-your-mouth steak that’s worth every penny. If you want a truly special meal, here are seven chains where the steak is so tender and flavorful guests order it on repeat.

The steaks at Ruth’s Chris are frequently lauded as being beautifully tender, especially the ribeye. “Lovely steak restaurant and excellent US rib eyes served here. The crab cakes and mushrooms were excellent. Think the rib eye is more tender than the ribeye T bone,” one diner shared.

Diners rave about the exceptional steaks and sides at The Capital Grille. “One of our favorite restaurants,” one shared. “The service can’t be beat and the food is absolutely outstanding. The calamari is the best we’ve had anywhere (and we order it everywhere). The filet is so tender and flavorful. Absolutely love the creamed spinach. In the bar the filet sliders are to die for!!!!”
LongHorn Steakhousee
Longhorn Steakhouse
LongHorn Steakhouse has beautiful ribeye steaks cooked to perfection. “We’d not been here before and we had recently had one of the best ribeyes of our lives while in south Texas,” one diner said. “Needless to say, my husband and I each ordered the ribeye, the 12 and 20oz. They were cooked to perfection, medium rare as we requested and seasoned so well.”
