I've taken my family to 5 major steakhouse chains in the US. We enjoyed most, but one is the best by a landslide.

My family has been to many steakhouse chains, including Texas Roadhouse.

I went to Keens Steakhouse for the first time. After my $150 meal, I get why it's been around for over 100 years.

I ordered the same meal at The Capital Grille and LongHorn Steakhouse. The bigger chain definitely offered the better value.

My family of 4 ate at STK Steakhouse for the first time. Our $460 meal was pretty great, but the atmosphere wasn't our cup of tea.
