Each steak was given a weight of 2 (the two steaks together accounting for 28 percent of a restaurant’s final score), service 3 (21 percent), ambiance 2 (14 percent), and wine sell 1.5 (10 percent). Then, on the belief that a steak is more important than a shrimp cocktail, the scores were weighted. A perfect filet got 100 (A+) an average steak got 85 (B). I assigned a score to each of the nine criteria, grading on a 100-point scale as I would with a student’s English paper. A U-8 is larger than a U-16-20, which would include up to 20 shrimp per pound. Common classifications are categorized by the letter “U” (under that many shrimp per pound), followed by the number of shrimp in a pound for any given category. We have also included the size of shrimp in each listing. My budget is $75.” I’m sorry to report that most restaurants couldn’t handle this request. I’m willing to try something funky or off the beaten path. “I would like something full-bodied and not overly oaky. “I am looking for something other than a bold California Cabernet,” I would say. Here’s how the wine sell went: when the list arrived, I gave each server the same spiel.

The steaks, those five additional items, plus ambiance, service, and the wine sell made up the nine criteria on which each restaurant was evaluated. At each restaurant, I also ordered a vegetable, potato dish, salad, dessert, and shrimp cocktail. Over the course of six weeks, my dining companions and I ate two steaks at each restaurant, a filet and the server’s top recommendation (almost always a bone-in rib-eye). Save for one (Sullivan’s), they all serve Prime meat. This time around, the hard part was winnowing the field down to 20. In 2001, it was a stretch to come up with 16 high-end steakhouses. At the same time, upscale steakhouses from around the country-Ocean Prime (Columbus, Ohio), Eddie V’s (Austin), Perry’s (Houston)-have invaded our beef-crazed city. There are now four locations of Bob’s Steak & Chop House in the area, each with a different owner. In all, I spent $5,808.70 eating at the 20 steakhouses we ranked.Īs the price of a filet has climbed, so has the number of steakhouses in North Texas. This time out, the average was about $43. A decade ago, the average price of a filet in Dallas hovered around $25. Al Biernat’s had been open only for three years. We last rated the best steakhouses in 2001. We last judged our city’s steakhouses in 2018. Editor’s Note: The story below was published in 2011.
