The 15 Best Steakhouse Chains in the US, Ranked
10. Morton's

Morton's The Steakhouse is a chain of restaurants that was founded in the Chicago steakhouse tradition. With over 60 restaurants today, this chain is dedicated to providing genuine hospitality along with consistent, high-quality food.
Here, they are all about the steaks—but the french fries are so delicious they are also worth the trip. Not only does the chain take its spuds seriously, but it also offers some of the highest-quality cuts of prime beef in the country. The Chicago-style bone-in ribeye is one of many standouts on the menu here. The restaurant feels elegant and offers expansive wine collections to add to the celebratory splurge of visiting a steakhouse. Whether you are dining here for a business lunch or a dinner celebration, Morton's always rises to the occasion in terms of quality and service.
8. Texas de Brazil

This chain offers a unique Brazilian-style all-you-can-eat steakhouse experience. No need to choose one cut from the menu, because diners can sample beef, lamb, pork, chicken and sausage to their heart's content. Servers bring the selections tableside in the traditional churrasco style. No one leaves this restaurant hungry, that's for sure.
In between sampling more than a dozen meat options, there is a fully stocked salad bar to complement the meal. The bar includes fresh and roasted vegetables as well as quality cheeses from around the world. Overall, diners enjoy the never-ending selection of meats at this steakhouse, and the price is worth it as long as you arrive with an appetite. The only complaints seem to be that higher-quality cuts of meats tend to be more sparse in circulation, whereas the budget-friendly ones seem all too plentiful.
3. Smith & Wollensky

This classic steakhouse has come to represent the ultimate in American fine dining. The original Smith & Wollensky opened in 1977 in Manhattan, with the name of the restaurant coming from two random names found in the New York City phone book.
This steakhouse chain is best known for its unique dry-aging process. Chefs at each location procure USDA Prime beef from the top 2% in the nation, with each cut prized for the rich and even marbling. In fact, this steakhouse goes the extra mile with its sourcing by partnering with cattle farms to ensure the utmost level of sustainability, animal welfare and quality.
Smith & Wollensky offers a wide range of signature steaks along with an impressive collection of fresh seafood and award-winning wines. Lobster arrives daily, with all sides and pastries made from scratch. While this is a chain restaurant, each of the 10 locations across America and abroad offer memorable dining experiences as unique as their city. If you enjoy dining at one location, it's worth visiting another location for a whole new ambiance.
2. The Palm

The upscale steakhouse chain, The Palm, began in New York City, but has since opened 21 locations across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Mexico. You will never regret splurging on an elegant meal at this restaurant. From the incredible starters, to the center-cut filet mignon, the outstanding lamb and perfect seafood dishes, everything on the menu is sure to satisfy. There is also an impressive wine and cocktail list as well as decadent desserts. That is, if you have any room left at the end of the meal!
All of the beef served at The Palm is corn-fed and carefully selected by an expert to ensure only the best of the best makes it to their kitchens. In addition, all of their beef is aged for at least 35 days, resulting in mouth-watering steaks that blow the competition out of the water. If you want to go all out and celebrate a special moment in your life, The Palm won't disappoint.
1. Fogo de Chão

In the end, our favorite steakhouse chain is Fogo de Chão. With gigantic spits of sizzling steaks, you can sample a seemingly endless variety of meats for a fixed price. The system at this Brazilian-style steakhouse is flawless. Diners use cards at their table to signal to servers when they are ready for more meaty treats. When the green side is up, cuts of sliced sirloin, leg of lamb or filet mignon will be delivered almost constantly. When you're ready for a break, simply flip the card over to the red side, and rest up for the next round.
It's important to note that Fogo de Chão also has arguably the most epic salad bar of any restaurant on this list. We love that, ultimately, there is something for everyone here. Even if someone in your group is a vegetarian, they will still leave satisfied. We also appreciate that it is easier to budget in advance when visiting this steakhouse since the experience is a fixed price, and you won't be tempted to order add-ons of sides or appetizers. With locations all over the United States and even the world, there is undoubtedly a Fogo de Chão near you or near a vacation destination.
