Where Should I Go For Steak Tonight?
So I’m in the market for a steak tonight. Just me and the First lady. Now the last couple times we’ve gone out for steak we’ve gone to KO Prime. I got nothing bad to say about the joint. Great steak and mash potatoes that will literally make you cum on the spot. But we wanted to maybe get crazy tonight and switch it up. So I’m curious what the Stoolies think the best steak house in Boston is. And I guess I should qualify that I’m looking for a date type place. Or at least a place we can talk. Like last time I went to the capital grille it was so fucking loud you couldn’t hear yourself think. Every asshole in the place was in a full suit talking business. By the end of the night I was screaming at the First Lady about our stock market portfolio and we don’t even have one. I’ve never been to Smith and Lewinski’s in Boston but heard it sucks. Oak Room is awesome but too stuffy. I’m a fan of Ruth Chris and that is in the mix. We’ve heard about this place called Moo or some shit like that. So basically if anybody has any info lay it on me. Daddy needs to eat.
Morton’s
THREAD
Abe & Louies or Grill 23
capital grille or mortons
Outback Steakhouse in Randolph.
i got jokes.
Abe and Louie’s… No if ands or butts… well maybe a few butts… big ones!
smith & wollensky does not suck, it is the shit – way better meat than cap grill or ruth’s chris, and it is in the coolest building ever.
…but if you’re really not considering it go with Grill 23, awesome atmosphere, shouldn’t have a problem hearing each other either.
Order the dry-aged strip.
You better step it up motherfucker.
abe and louie’s is the tits
You should go somewhere you can watch playoff baeball….
I heard Mooo is real legit. Do it.
100% morton’s…best meal i have ever had.
grill 23 all day
go to Fleming’s
Abe and motherfuckin Louie’s no question
plaza III is pretty diesal
Grill 23 but you can’t really go wrong with any of the suggestions.
Been to Morton’s, Abe & Louie’s, and Capital Grille. Hands down Mooo is the best of them all.
Frank’s on Mass Ave. in Cambridge has the best food and at better prices, imo.
I’ve never had a better steak then the one I had at The Oak Room.. Nice scotch list too.
Abe and Louies is the best, no question about it.
kodiak, good call on Frank’s but it is kind of a dump…
Stockyard in Brighton
FLEMINGS
Don’t go to Moo. Place tries way to hard and the steak is average. If you’re going to the South End go to The Butcher Shop.
flemings
Abe and Louie’s is legit. Pretty expensive tho. Be sure to get the Mac and Cheese as a side.
BBRG represent!
abe and louie’s
grill 23
morton’s
all 3 are unbelievable, but i’m sure you’re looking for a tube steak, homo!
Flemings.
Grill 23 (G23) is the best. Ask to sit upstairs if you want a little peace. Love the 2nd floor bar. All the others steak houses are JV.
been to all…Grill 23 is the best
You up for a drive to NYC? Because you have as much chance of finding a good steak in Boston as you have of finding a black fan at a Bruins game.
Pres, I’m a huge Steak guy and lived in Boston for a while so I have made my rounds. Bottom line, best steak in town is at “The Bucther Shop” on tremont in the south end. It is small wine bar.. but there Steak is out of this world, not a huge selection but they make it perfect… If they have beurre rouge (red wine butter sauce) get it with it.
Their wines you probably have never heard of, all french, but they are the bomb… the GF is obsessed too… Lil pricey though, but what place isnt.
2-3 glasses of wine a piece, a steak and an app for 2.. plan on like $130.
I’m a vegetarian now, but back in the day of sucking blood from raw meat… MOO is the best joint in town!
Pull your heads out: The Capital Grille
The Hilltop
I thought you had to be an AARP member to get into Frank’s?
Capital Grille on Rt9. Best steak I have had in Boston.
Andygee71.. Completely agree…. You might as well make the trip down to Brooklyn and head to Peter Lugers… Nothing else compares.
Pres, any move other than Ruth’s Chris is a rookie mistake. Order your steak (whichever cut you prefer) medium-rare and garlic encrusted. The fuck waiter wont know what your are talking about but the chef will. Shit will blow your fucking mind. Other steakhouses are for pussies. Only Ruth’s Chris comes sizzling in its own juices and shit. Dont be a moron. If you order it like that, and its not the best steak you’ve ever had send me the receipt and ill take care of the entire bill. no joke
Grill 23… Good thing about Abe and Louie’s is if your women isn’t big into red meat she can order from Atlantic Fish which is right next door (same owner….i use to work for the Fish)
Locke-Ober
Un-fucking-believable. I’d whore out my manhole for the dry-aged sirloin.
Ruth Chris
can not go wrong with Ruth’s Chris, good wine too, get the first lady drunk and make her felatiate you
Grill 23, no questions asked
Abe and Louie’s definitely. I like S&W as well tho.
Enough with the Chains…Abe’s, Grill 23, Capital Grille, all the same shit (I love them all btw)… But I speak the truth about the Butcher Shop…. Somewhat even reluctant to write about it, because it doesn’t need to get anymore packed than it is.
If you wanna hit up something outside the city, Coach Grill on RT 20 in Wayland is terrific. It’s run by the same people as Abe & Louie’s but is a little quieter.
I’d go with Buzzy’s Roast Beef.
the butcher shop is fucking gay
Frank’s Stockyard? You white traash motherfuckers, why not say Jimmy’s in Arlington? Come on, the guy’s trying to step it up.
Butcher Shop is a good call, or Burton’s at Derby Street if you want to get out of the city.
Fleming’s. Best Steak I’ve ever had

Exactly, we’re talking to Portnoy. Place will be up to its asshole with married guys pretending they don’t love cock, he’ll love the place.
If first lady is getting steak Morton’s, best in boston and a man’s portion size, not butcher shop i sit when i pee portion size. go to the boylston street one for a quiet no frills eating experience, or the Seaport for more ambaince.
Now if the first lady is not getting steak go to Grill 23 and get the mac’n'cheese as a side. it will give you wood. Anyone who shits on getting mac’n'cheese has not had Grill 23′s.
Grill 23… but it can get loud in there.
Craftsteak (theres one @ MGM Grand at Foxwoods) will be best steak dinner you’ve ever had; hands down. Grill 23 in Boston.
Abe and Lou’s son. no doubt. Be aware that it is dry rubbed so a lil diff from Ruth’s but just as amazing in its own way. Why we standing here talking about this??? Abe and Lou’s is the move…now lets go get a g…damn snack!!!
i want steak sooo bad now…f u pres
Tough call if you’re using t-shirt proceeds then just go to shaw’s and grab a box of steak-ums because that’s all you can afford. If you don’t want to be a cheap prick go to Morton’s on the waterfront great atmosphere
I definitely recommend abe & louies or grill 23
Dude, I had the greatest meal all laid out for you and the 1st, but your new fucking comments cyberpolice told me “You are commenting too fast. Slow down.” when I tried to post it. If you think I’m gonna RE-write everything all over again, I’ve got better things to do with my next 5 minutes.
Get a real site dude. This new format really blows.
Go to Fleming’s.
Frank’s Steak House in Cambridge
Morton’s….Grill 23 is THE NOISEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!
Abe & Louie’s 2nd.
Sofia Italian Steakhouse in West Roxbury. It’s got a great selection of roll-your-tongue-back-up-into-your-mouth steaks as well as a great selection of Italian food and seafood. http://www.sofiaboston.com. Read the reviews on OpenTable.com too.
Oak Room, Ruth’s Chris, and The Butcher Shop all phenomenal
Cajun Rib Eye at Morton’s. Everyone else has blackened.
Screw Boston steakhouses. Go to The Hardcover on Rt. 1 in Danvers. Ask to sit in the Library room, it only has like five tables. Their steaks would beat out the commercial steakhouses any day, hands down.
Avoid Smith and Lewinsky’s. What they pass off as prime rib would be inhumane to serve to the guys at MCI Walpole.
make the trip to route 1. HILLTOP
capital grille in chestnut hill. anyone who says grill 23 is a clown.
Butcherboy meat market in north andover…cook it you pussy
Forget the chains. Not exclusively steak, but check out Scollay Square if you haven’t been.
anyone know when The Capital Grille is leaving Newbury St. and moving into the Hynes
Man up and take her dwon to NYC. The Old Homestead, Sparks or Peter Lugers will have the first lady wetter than a KY wrestling match. Acela train it.
Cassarino’s Federal Hill Providence. Thank me later.
Morton’s sucks. Abe & Louie’s is the spot. Was there twice when the Magic were in town playing the Celtics and Dwight Howard was in there both times.
even a vegetarian commented on where to go.
It depends on what type of steak you want: Abe and Louis is the best overall, great filet, also has prime rib on the menu which you won’t find at the others; Grill 23 is up there, but has been off lately in my opinion; Moo is OK on par with KO prime…As for the chains, I’d go with Flemings over Mortons or Ruth’s Chris.
There is no question. Abe and Louie’s. Don’t go to a chain. That’s budget.
Hardcover – that’s high comedy.
Jus lemme kno your final area so i can see you their and poison your meal.
Grill 23, and tell the make sure that you’re seated on the 2nd floor. 1st floor is bright and loud and for people who want to be seen. Second floor is dark wood, dark carpet, and leather for nice quiet meal. Best in the city.
Abe & Louie’s is great, but it is kind of loud (at least upstairs). Grill 23 is a lot quieter if that’s what you’re looking for.

That’s some solid logic. He wants to go for steak tonight. Pretty sure he has to eat before January 17 when Dwight Howard is in town next
I agree with Mak, Grill 23 used to be my go to stop. Just has seemed kind of off lately…. something different about it.
If you’re looking for quality and changing it up, I’d say The Bucther Shop – hell it’s where Geisele takes Tommy when she’s in the mood for meat other than ‘Man-meat.’. For a special night out, why go with the chain places like Mortons, Cap Grill, Ruth Chris, S&W…?
One that’s been over looked is Burton’s over by Fenway, I’d take that long before some of the chain places.
Steak with the guys, go to Abe & Louie’s to troll the bar for cougar poontang. . . worth a few laughs and someone might just get lucky.
Good luck and we want a ‘Stool review afterwards.
Grill 23 is Boston has the best Kobe beef you’ve ever had in your life. I literally came in my pants. Also for some strange reason the waiter who brought out my food screamed “KOBEE!!!!!!” and threw it on my table.
Ruth’s Criss is overrated – Filet was horrible, Grill 23 is sick but expensive as shit! FLEMINGS has the best Filet in town no doubt!
Don’t go to Moo. Very overrated.
Personally, I like Ruth’s Chris. I eat many steaks, at many steak houses.
Abe and Louie’s very close 2nd.
Grille 23 is my personal favorite. Big fan of the Delmonico.
Ruth Chris is awful. I’ve had better steaks at Bugaboo.
Nothing beats the Grille 23, but you have to sit at the 2nd Floor bar. Very quiet, great bartenders, and two flat screens if you want to check scores. Great steaks and seafood options as well. Try the bone in filet or dry aged rib eye.
I had one of the best steaks of my life at Smith & Lewinski’s. Double fielt with oscar sauce.
The porterhouse at Coach Grill in wayland is unbelevable and is only$32.
Under the radar great steaks for much cheaper prices. Stearns & Hill Bistro in Melrose center.
.don’t go to a “steak house” – they are almost all too loud – with fat fuckers and assholes everywhere.
go to terramia in the North End. Great date place – small little restaurant – quiet, romantic, with GREAT STEAK. The Filet Mignon/gorgonzola/etc dish is as good as any in any steak house I have ever been in and it is 10x more ‘romantic’.
RuthS Chris all day long. Never gets to loud in there – try the crab stuffed mushroom caps for app. Ribeye med rare best steak ive ever had.
Abe and Louies
Prez take a nice drive up to Andova, go to a few shops and then head ova to burtons grill for a wicked pissa steak. http://www.burtonsgrill.com/index.html
How about going to the grocery store and grabing a steak to cook yourself, lazy prick.
What about Fred and Steve’s? Joking obviously. Having a high end steak place in RI named Fred and Steves is like having an expensive jewlery store in Mattapan and naming it Chico’s.
Ruth’s Chris is a chain place for clowns. For starters, the name is stupid. Try and say it ten times fast. Also, it doesn’t carry any dry-aged steaks, and the gimmick of the place is to put butter on everything. Butter this, butter that. Eat a stick of melted butter. Bah!!
G23 on the second floor every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
AGREE WITH “AREUSHITTINGME”
BURTONS GRILL IS THE SHIT..AND HAVE A KICKASS STEAK AND AN EVEN BETTER SURF N TURF. GO WITH THE GRILLED SCALLOPS…EXCELLENT.

For a great steak place, good price and great date place go here:

Argentinians are incredibly passionate about steak and beef in general.
Abe & Louies #1. Morton’s #2.
Flemmings….
Grill 23.
I’m genuinely interested in how this unfolds. I’m not from Boston, but when I am in town, I always hit up Grill 23 and it’s great. Always looking for new places to try for dinner.
Is Smith and Lewinski the place where a fat pig gives you a Hum Job for dessert and you get to finish on her nice blue dress?
how much do you want to bet you will see new banners and advertisements for steak restaurants on here now………cue the endorsements and $$$$ nice job Prez
all chains suck. smith and wolly, ruth chris, abe and louis, grille 23, capital grill, morton’s are all good if you on and expense account in the 3rd world….
but for my money, Franks Steakhouse in Cambridge, Flemings or the Butcher Shop, Moo looks interesting. might try that tonight myself.
Tremont 647.
Throw out every opinion from everyone who orders filets. zero flavor compared to ribeye (or even ny strip) which is why it has to be wrapped in bacon and smothered in crab sauce
You Boston clowns really don’t know any better. Everyone seems to be recommending figgen chain restaurants. Ruth’s Chris, Mortons, Capital Grille??? C’mon boys. That’s the best you have to offer. El Pres, take an Acela to Manhattan, and head over to Williamsburg and go to Peter Lugers. It is an orgasm in your mouth. Luger’s shits out things that tase better than a Ruth’s Chris Garlic Encrusted Steak. Porterhouse for two, nothing fancy, just enjoy.
Grill 23 without question - get the dry aged new york – best steak i’ve ever had. Also, on point with sitting upstairs- not as loud and they’ll have the game on.

I find this amusing.
Flemings is the best or Mooo
no that every one has listed the same couple places, how about one that you haven’t heard of the Stock Yard in the allston brighton area, on cambridge ave.
Since my nickname is “steak” I know a thing or two about my cuts of beef. Put a blindfold on me and I could kick ass on The Letterman Show’s “Name your cuts of beef.” Knock it right out of the park.
Mortons – good but a chain and very predicable
S&W – chain also – but their sides are better than most
Flemings – girls steak house
Capital Grille – never understood it – makes sense in DC but not Boston. It’s for people who think they know good steak – but really have no clue what a steak house should be
Butcher Shop – biggest waste of time and money in Boston
Grill 23 & Moo – haven’t been yet so can’t comment
Abe & Louie’s is the best in Boston. Great food, great atmosphere, great wine list. Bone-In Filet is the business.
Until we get our own Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House – it’s Abe and Louies all the way.
BTW – whoever wrote Outback should be ashamed – very ashamed
I am so friggen hungry now after reading all of these posts and I have a Salad for lunch. Not FUCKING cutting it!!!! Damn!
York Steak House, Westgate Mall, Brockton. If you’re lucky you might get a corner table in the exclusive King’s Court. Get the chopped sirloin with the “delicious hot mushroom sauce”.
I have to agree with Burton’s. The one at the Derby Street Shops in Hingham has never disappointed. Always packed, need a reservation.
The bar is also always packed with Hingham wives who’s husbands don’t throw them enough dick. So it’s got that going for it. Which is nice.
Agree with TheSteak all the way. Phil Stefani needs to open a steak house in Boston.
Get the chopped sirloin with the “delicious hot mushroom sauce”.
I hope you were being ironic. Any restaurant that has to pour anything over their steak is hiding the fact the meat is rancid to begin with.
Mission Oak Grill in Newburyport
Grill 23 and get the Berkely, best piece of steak in the city. Abe and Louie’s is great if you’re looking for seafood or steak, but nothing beats Grill 23 for a piece of steak.
Am I the only one here that’s been to Locke-Ober? Seriously, I’d eat out Ice T’s woman’s ass for the Locke-Ober dry-aged sirloin.
Been to them all, even in different cities and hands down, you can not beat Bugaboo Creek.
hahaha, Bugaboo fuckin sucks
Call ahead to Abe & Louie’s, ask for a special request to be served by Max. You will never forget it, best service ever. Feel like royalty, but never stuffy.
Dude, go to MOO. It’s the shit, romantic, quiet enough, amazing steaks, etc. You must try the Kobe Beef Dumpling appetizer, shit’s amazing.
Close the fucking comment section. Game over.
go to grassfields. everybody knows everybody. not a bad steak either. the menu isnt large at all so steak is like a good option.
Abe and Louies without a doubt. Bone in ribeye
North Shore- check out Pellana.
pres - hit flemmings steak house (good atmosphere) across from park plaza hotel and then walk around the corner to finale for desert. the lady will be all over your shit
Why does Pub 99 not get a mention, bunch of wanna bees on here
Flemming’s is my first choice.
Bistro 5. Mean steak
Bistro 5 sucks
L’Andana in Burlington if you want one in the burbs.
Locke Ober
uh…Chris Ruth’s Steakhouse? done.
abe and louies … no doubt about it
valet your shitbox … shitty weather tonight.
KO Prime Bitch… http://www.koprimeboston.com/
If you want more romance and less old people, try hammersleys. yeah i know it’s not a steakhouse but the beef ternderloin is friggin awesome. and the first lady will be impressed with the $$$ youre spending on her.
this post is like a cry for d list boston celebrity. “jeez i really hope someone recognizes me from my blog”
i hope some idiot college kids heckle you in public
I’m sure you wouldn’t think of trekking out to Worcester (honestly, why would anyone!) but the 111 Chop House is real good. http://www.111chophouse.com/

Best quality filet or porterhouse (the best of both worlds – filet and sirloin in one), smooth vibe, great bar.
