Best Steakhouse In New Jersey

[Lreda]

Now, I'm going to have to go to Richie's. How much is Richie's steak in comparision to The Strip House? I heard they were a little high end. Then again, they've said the same about my place but I think I personally offset any idea of high end.

Lreda, I've read a few of your posts, and I've seen you mention your place. I assume you're not trying to take advantage of this forum to advertise you're own place, but I've become curious. Which place is yours, and where is it located?

Ah, an American Grill!

I've heard good things about your place. Congrats!

My friend had mentioned it to me several times, but we have not yet had a chance to check it out. I'm looking forward to it!

The extensive menu looks pretty darn good... I may have to make a couple of trips!

Robert's Steakhouse in Garwood is good also, even though the atmosphere is a bit too stuffy for me.

Anyone have any experiences at The Chophouse in Gibbsboro? I hear they make a mean steak but don;t know anyone that's been there.

We just went there last Friday. They just opened up a martini lounge downstairs, which is where we wound up eating. There was some live music that I wanted to hear, so thats why we did that. The food was ok, the steak was pretty darn good. Cooked nicely, tender and flavorful. Not the best, but certainly above average. The weakest part of the dining experience was the very uninspired wine list. Full of boring bottles from lousy years, it wasn't worth the money, which is ironic since we wound up drinking our faces off... Thank goodness for designated drivers!

I don't know what else is in that area, so I have nothing to compare it to. It was a good place with friendly service. The music was fantastic. I don't think I would drive there from Wayne again, but for convenience I think it would be a good idea. And if there is live music, all the better!!

Nope, only the same three exist: Edgewater, Fair Lawn and Mahwah.  I really wish they'd open another closer to Monmouth

I prefer the Park Steakhouse in Park Ridge. I find the FL Palm is overrated, lack of food presentation and poor wine service.

I've never been to The Park. I first heard about it 5 years ago from a coworker. When I go to a steakhouse my primary concern is beef. However, nothing yet has enticed me to go to The Park for beef.

THNX,

Has anyone been to Manhattan Steakhouse in Oakhurst?

Manhattan Steak House

I haven't been there in over a year. Any experiences? Any thoughts?

Thnx

[Rosie]

Any steak places that you have been to recently that you can recommend?

[coughy]

We usually go into NYC to Mark Josephs for steak. We were at Primavera recently and a friend ordered steak and it was EXCELLENT!!

For an old-school NJ experience, Steve's Sizzling Steaks on Rt 17S is pretty solid. It's right before the exit for the Meadowlands. My only problem here is consistency. I have had some amazing steaks here as well as some average ones. I would recommend ordering them a little on the rarer side, because the steaks are served sizzling in a salty butter sauce, and will continue to cook on your plate. I am not a huge fillet person, but Steve's does a mean 12 ouncer (order it rare). Their strips are very good as well. When you catch Steve's on a good night, their steaks are truly excellent. I love the salty sauce they use!

The best Porterhouses for 2 that I have had in NJ can be found at the River Palm Terrace in Edgewater. However, considering the high pricing, I would opt to make the drive to Brooklyn and go to Lugers.

LOL, I've been to Steve's Sizzling Steaks many times. Definitely order rare if you like your steak medium rare. Salty as hell and the mushrooms are awesome. I always got the filet because it is the only tolerable cut for me there.

I do think the best steak I have had in NJ is at Fleming's in Edgewater/Fort lee area right on the end of that newer shopping center. I had the filet and it was perfectly meduim rare to rare. They served us champagne in tall glasses, not flutes and I loved that. Awesome meal there.

[markymark]

We enjoy the Brick House in Wyckoff. Last time there, had a bleu-cheese topped sirloin, which isn't my favorite cut, and it was delicious. Relatively low priced martinis too, and they let you keep the extra in the shaker.

I agree (and I don't agree with the driving part)!

[South Jersey Epicurean]

It's time for South Jersey recommendations.....

The Chophouse is getting excellent reviews in Gibbsboro or Evesham. It's on the border. Maybe it's even considered Voorhees. It's very dressup. I haven't been, but several friends recommend it highly.

My favorite though is The Library II on Route 73 in Evesham. It's the best of the mini-South Jersey chain. You go up and tell them how much of what cut you want. Superb quality (not cheap), but well worth it because it IS the best salad bar in the universe...I don't know if it's the fresh fruit, cheeses, varieties of homemade bread, the veggies, all types of greens, prepared salads including Waldorf or everything together. It's included with any entree. They also make fabulous mixed drinks!! The beef is excellent!!
