The survey from Tasting Table does not include steakhouse chain restaurants because the experts wanted to highlight the hidden surprises in each state. Local establishments add special touches to each steak, and people notice the difference.

In order to be considered the best, we looked for places that not only served highly recommended and favorably reviewed high-quality steaks, but we also looked for places that put as much care and effort into the quality of the sides and the wine list as the steak. Atmosphere, service, and — in some cases — longevity all needed to come together to create the perfect steakhouse experience
