Best Steak in Ames Area?

Well sometimes the lady deserves a nice dinner out. I for one am going to order a nice meal and not a burger. Most commonly it’s a steak. It’s not about going out to eat for the steak, it’s about night out, time with the wife enjoying a nice meal and being catered too.
Same agrument as people saying why pay for tickets to an ISU fb game when I already get it on TV.
In both cases you get the same, the difference is the experience you pay for.
Chili Filet at Maudes has been the best dish in Ames for 20 years. It never misses.
Never tried that but their exotic Mac n cheeses are freaking amazing!
I rarely order steak when we go out, unless I'm really in the mood or going specifically somewhere like 801 Chophouse. (Or pregnant. I get the red meat fever when pregnant.) But it is my go-to dish in Des Moines, just don't forget the duck frites.
Janny got some on the side of a sandwich he got last time we went!
Just go anywhere. The worst steak in Ames is better than the best steak in Texas. (Assuming based on your name you're in Texas too.) Things I miss, in this order...good people, Cyclones, good beef.
Dallas has some amazing steak houses. And also hundreds of great Cyclones here. We often outnumber TCU fans at some events. As for steak houses in Dallas: Papas Bros, Three Forks, Silver Fox, DelFriscos, Bobs. They’re better than any I’ve found in central Iowa in years, and that’s depressing - which is the reason for my question.
I like going out for a nice meal too, but most restaurants I've gone to have a lot more than steak and burgers on the menu. There are all sorts of dishes that require a lot more ingredients and skill than a hunk of meat, a grill, and 10 minutes of my time. If you want to pay a premium for that more power to you.
Agree to disagree. I think grass fed beef is total crap. Ive been to every steakhouse you listed. Expensive yes but not good quality beef.
Depends where you're eating. If you go to a true high end steak house, you're getting a cut of meat that is nearly impossible to get at home.
Also to answer this question, head 3 hours north to Minneapolis and go to Burch.
Open Flame is alive and well! Newly remodeled. Worth the drive to Gilbert!
The high end steak houses will use prime steaks dry aged for at least 30 days. You generally can't duplicate that at home.
I think I saw dry aged steaks being sold at the downtown DM Hy-Vee. Might be worth a try.

Did someone say beef? Its not quite steak, but I like it.
