"While the winning steakhouses source the very finest cuts of
beef, these steakhouses are about more than meat," says

Dining Officer. "From the stately to the sleek, the inaugural
steakhouse honorees are creating dining experiences that are
deliciously familiar while making each diner feel like a VIP at
every visit."
The Diners' Choice Awards for the Top 100 Steakhouses in America
are generated from more than 5 million restaurant reviews collected
from verified OpenTable diners between November 1, 2013, and October 31, 2014. All restaurants with a minimum
"overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were included for
consideration. All restaurants in the "steak" cuisine category with
a minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews were
