Today's question: Who has the best steaks in town?
Inspiration for today's question: Charlotte is going through an upscale steakhouse boom. The latest to the scene is Fleming's, which opened late last month uptown. And my husband and I are slowly working our way through them. I say slowly because we reserve big-ticket dinners for special occasions, especially now that we have one child and another on the way and big-time economic downturn going on.
On Saturday night, we went to The Palm in SouthPark. It was our anniversary and we had a coupon. The steaks were delish -- right up there with our last steak splurge at Morton's uptown.
After Morton's and The Palm our next faves are probably McIntosh's and Sullivans. We also really like Beef 'N Bottle and it's throwback 1958-style brat pack atmosphere -- think Sinatra and deep red leather booths and waitresses who call you "hon."

Don't forget the Ranch House
Beef 'N Bottle is my favorite so far. Don't let the outside appearance scare you away.
Yadkin Valley has great stakes if you ever venture to Albemarle.

Yes, Ranch House is on our list. Thanks!

Speaking from personal experience...Fleming's is just as good, if not better, than some on this list. I have eaten at several locations including the Charlotte restaurant. The atmosphere in warm and inviting and not at all stuffy. The service staff are mostly professionals that have been at for many years. The food is fresh and wonderful. I particularly like the "family style" sides so you can get a bit of everything. If you enjoy wine, they offer 100 by the glass and also have a wonderful bottle list. The most important thing, even if you don't generally have desert make sure you try their chocolate lava cake.
Hands down the best filet I've had in Charlotte, and I've had them all, was at Upstream at Philips Place.
The best steak houses are found in places like Chicago, Kansas City, and Dallas. I don't know people bother with cheesy, corporate-expense-account-type places like Ruth's Chris, Morton's, Fleming's and the Palm.
My house. I order restaurant grade steaks from holisticcow.com. Nothing beats home grilling with the family.
