  1. Our Favorite is Kurt's Steakhouse in Delafield.
    Great quality and service, and very affordable.
    A great start is their warm basket of rolls, followed by their great entrees.
    Our close second is the Butler Inn on Pewaukee lake.
  2. Mr. B's Steakhouse is the best Steak I have had. Cooked at a hight temp to get a nice crisp on the outside, then finished off to your specific taste. Plenty of different mixtures to choose to top it off, but I eat the steak plain. THe tenderness of their meat is ridiculous. Have been there only a few times because it is pricey, but have never been dissapointed.
  3. Mr. B's, hands down. If you head to Middleton, Ruth's Chris is also very good.
  4. Ponderosa's steaks are amazing
  5. coerpers 5:00 club on 24th and state is the best and the best value,you still get a full dinner, not everything ala carte like mo's, mr b's, and others. is smokey's in madison still around?
  6. Carnevor has the best filet. Skip the Kobe (too expensive) and just order the regular filet. Semi-reasonable in price, a hangout for visiting business people.
  7. As others have said, Mr. B's is great, but the bone-in ribeye with blue cheese sauce and big, button mushrooms at Mason Street Grill is beyond awesome. Best steak I've ever had...twice.
  8. Kurt's Steakhouse in Delafield. Incredible food at a reasonable price.
  9. Good for the price - Packing House on Layton.
    Best around - the Chophouse on Wisconsin.
  10. Dobie's in St Francis. It's one of those places you can drive by every day and never know it's there. Miles above any place ive ever been. Service is great, and its not a contemporary "get food fast, eat food fast" restaurant.

    The Steakout is also very good, on Loomis I think, and of course Porterhouse on Layton. Chain-wise, i usually find myself ordering a steak at Fridays and Outback, or the flat-iron steak at Rock Bottom.
  11. Packing House without a doubt, way better than Southwoods and alot cleaner
  12. Yes, the Steakout in Greendale on Loomis Rd. is very good, but so is the Rafters on S. 27th St. in Oak Creek. I think the Porterhouse on W. Layton is closed.
  13. Kurt's Steakhouse in Delafield is our favorite steak place. It reminds me of a supper club you would find in northern Wisconsin.
    The steaks are great. I would recommend the rib eye. As a starter, I would highly recommend the French onion soup.
  14. The Lakeside in Mukwonago - as good or better than the big players in town and not overpriced. Try the peppercorn filet.
  15. Coerpers and it's not even close. Was a chef for 20 years. Dined all over the country. Coerpers competes with anywhere I've been. Once you get past the 50's decor and the hood you will find a little bit of heaven.
  16. Mr. B's was good but way way overpriced and as puckybadger said everything is ala carte including your water me thinks.
  17. The Milwaukee ChopHouse at 5th and Wisconsin on the first floor of the Hilton is ala carte, white linen, expensive and worth every penny. Everything is great, not just the steaks. If you want to treat your spouse right and eat a delicious steak at the same time, this is it.

    For a more casual decor, Coerpers.

    Smokey's in Madison still serves great steaks at reasonable prices (get the hash browns, light and airy). Sadly, they recently removed all the kitsch hung from the ceiling.
  18. Tornado Room in Madison...hands down. Everyone else is playing catch up. Smoky's has won a few regional awards for "Best Steakhouse," but I was not very impressed with it. Pretty overrated.

    I'll have to try Kurt's Steakhouse in Delafield. I've never been. I've also heard very good things about Mr. B's.
  19. The most *flavorful* steak I may have ever had in my 45 years as a meat eater (I come from a family of butchers) was at Lake Park Bistro believe it or not. The bone-in ribeye cought my eye on the menu that evening. It was described as marinated in garlic and cooked in bacon. Oh my! The flavor was out of this world!
  20. Without a doubt, since Sally closed years ago the best steak in town is Butch's Clock Steak on Plankington. Steak always served the way I want it with perfect mushrooms, soup, salad, and potato. What more could one ask for. And the staff is great too.
  21. Mr. B's is expensive but worth it. For a less expensive dinner, the Packing House on Layton is great.
  22. Coerpers, Butch's Old Casino and Eddie Martini's are my top 3.
  23. I have a lot of "favorite" steak joints in the Milwaukee area. I would say that Eddie Martinis and Coerpers are my top two, with The Steakout and The Packing House very close behind. The Rafters has a good steak but I think they've priced themselves out of the market, and their service has slipped over the years. Personally I think the biggest slip has been The Porterhouse. When J Roberts took over--thats when it went downhill fast. The hostess was downright rude to people, and I think the overall service has suffered. It was never like that with the previous ownership. I must not be the only one who feels that way because the place is now closed. For the price you really can't beat The Steakhouse and The Packing House.
  24. Corner House in Racine for higher priced

    Prime Quarter for Medium priced

    Applebees for the low-cost great taste
  25. Try Butler Inn of Pewaukee, a little more money than Kurts, but you can taste the difference. Try the Louis 5 star garlic, or cajun seasoning on the meat, good stuff. Mr. Bs, and Jakes on Capitol are both real good, but a lot more money.
