The Best Steakhouses in Houston, by the Record

The best steakhouses in Houston, by the professional record: Wine Enthusiast, Michelin Guide, and Houstonia have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Pappas Bros. Steakhouse comes out on top.

  1. White tablecloths, glossy wood paneling, and a wine list that earned a spot in Wine Enthusiast's Restaurant Hall of Fame: Pappas Bros. is the kind of old-school steakhouse that doesn't need to update anything. The menu keeps appetizers brief on purpose, saving the appetite for prime, in-house dry-aged cuts seared the right way. Veteran waiters and sommeliers treat everyone the same whether you're ordering a Shiner or a 1947 Petrus.


  2. Rank 2. Toro Toro

    Pan-Latin Steakhouse
