1. Bartlett's
2408 W Anderson Ln

Bartlett's has an excellent cocktail menu, too, offering handcrafted drinks like the Pimm's Cup and Bartlett Pear Martini.

2. Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
320 E 2nd St

Fleming’s serves USDA Prime beef and touts an award-winning selection of 100 wines by the glass. Their prime rib dinner comes with three different sauces, a salad, side and dessert. From the loaded baked potato and crispy Brussels sprouts to their signature onion rings, the sides are sure to complement your prime rib. Fleming’s only servers prime rib on Sundays, so be sure to call ahead and make a reservation between 5 and 9 p.m.

3. The Roaring Fork
10850 Stonelake Blvd

Meats at The Roaring Fork are prepared on a wood-fire rotisserie, just like they were in the Old West. The steak selection varies by the day, depending on what fresh meats are on hand, but prime rib and real black angus steaks are two popular choices. Their bacon-wrapped tenderloin and cheesy grits also have quite a following!

4. Vince Young Steakhouse
301 San Jacinto Blvd

If you feel like treating yourself to the ultimate fine dining experience, Vince Young Steakhouse is a great choice. Locally owned and operated, they use the highest quality ingredients and offer a cozy, romantic ambiance with a fireplace and wine collection on the walls.
