Steakhouse in Miami

Area Code 55 Brazilian Steakhouse is a carnivore's wet dream. You name the meat, they've got it, stabbed on a skewer and awaiting your rumbling tummy. That said, this North Miami meatery is probably not the place to take your herbivorous girlfriend. But if vegetarians do want to try their hand at the meat factory, the salad bar (including hot items and soup) is $19.99 from 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday. Otherwise, the full shebang will run you $29.99 for 16 different types of animal edibles: chicken wrapped in bacon picahna, lamb chops, filet mignon, beef ribs and the meat-free, deliciously memorable roasted pineapple included.

Baires Grill

1116 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach South Beach

305-538-1116

Steakhouse, Argentine, Menu

Baires Grill has long been a reliable budget Argentine parillada on Washington Avenue in South Beach, and a move to new, classier digs up the block should only increase its popularity. Service and prices remain as friendly as ever. Guests are cordially welcomed and the staff exhibits a keen interest in assuring diner satisfaction — not that difficult to accomplish when most appetizers are less than $10 and most main courses less than $20. The food here is accommodating as well, a populist parillada of grilled, certified Black Angus steaks with some pasta and fish dishes thrown in — mahi-mahi piccata is especially worthwhile. There's not a lot of ambitious cuisine, but appetizers in particular reflect authentic Argentine cooking — try the stuffed veal, a Latin take on the French galantine. Robust and affordable red wines are available, mostly from Argentine grapes, with which to supplement your steaks. Low prices, solid eats, amiable faces, and a relaxed, kicked-back setting make Baires an attractive dining destination.

BLT Prime

4400 NW 87th Ave. Doral

305-937-2777

Steakhouse, Slideshow

At BLT Prime are all the trappings of old money. Heavy, high-backed leather seats encircle lacquered dark-wood tables. Recessed ceilings reflect stark-white walls, while square dark-wood columns help break up the monotony. The best place to sit is on the patio's wicker chairs overlooking the golf course. There's also the circular bar where at lunchtime you can belly up with sun-scorched golfers for a Scotch and a steak sandwich draped in fontina cheese. The kitchen excels where it should. A thick 22-ounce bone-in rib eye arrives in a cast-iron skillet cooked to a just-bloody-enough medium-rare with a glorious, crunchy char. Some steaks here are dry-aged up to 28 days and come with a price tag to match. Even the humble ten-ounce hanger will set you back $29. Despite the prices, stick with beef, which the kitchen doesn't overcook, as it does with a simple roast chicken or shrimp drenched in emerald basil oil.

Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina

Steakhouse, Critics' Pick, Best Of, Menu, Readers' Choice

Bourbon Steak is a contemporary American steakhouse — and one of South Florida’s finest. Tucked inside the swank JW Marriott Turnberry Isle Resort & Spa, it offers all-natural, organic, and hormone-free selections of beef, tempered in herb-infused butter and then grilled over wood, including the legendary, exquisitely marbled Japanese A5 Kobe (well worth the market price). The seafood, too, is topnotch, as are farm-fresh sides of truffle mac and cheese, roasted mushrooms, and crisp Brussels sprouts. In the mood for a casual meal? Request the Turnberry burger, an off-menu option made with your choice of beef, turkey, or falafel. To accompany your feast, Bourbon Steak’s wine cellar stocks more than 850 selections.

American, Steakhouse, Best Of, Menu, Readers' Choice

This high-end steak house for the high-powered adds some carnivorous class to the downtown riverside scene. A meat locker in the middle of the dining room, where the beef is dry-aged, gives you a good idea of what's on the menu; a 400-plus selection of wine gives you a lot of ideas about what to drink with it. Porterhouses, Delmonicos, and sirloins are all gargantuan, as is the shrimp scampi. Great onion soup and meaty crab-lobster cakes for starters. Cottage fries, onion "strings," and super creamed spinach, scented with garlic, work powerfully well as side dishes. Lunch and dinner.

Christy's Restaurant

3101 Ponce de Leon Blvd. Coral Gables/S. Miami

Steakhouse, Seafood, Recommended, Best Of

The decor is best described as "clubby," a place where powerful men feel at home, and women feel as though they're in a club for powerful men. Though the motto is "Famous for prime steaks and fresh seafood," most guests seem to order the steaks. Can't blame them, because the beef is prime, Midwestern, corn-fed, and dry-aged — in other words, rich, flavorful, and tender. Offerings include New York strip, prime rib, porterhouse, and filet mignon. The same is true of the baked Alaska dessert and, in fact, much of Christy's cuisine. Every entrée is preceded by a generous plate of one of the most celebrated caesar salads in town (yet some will find it too potently cheesy) and accompanied with a baked potato and vegetables. Christy's isn't cheap, but it gives a lot of good food for the money, and service is excellent.

Steakhouse, Korean, Best Of, Readers' Choice, Essentials

Simon Kim has brought Cote, his New York cross between a Korean barbecue restaurant and a traditional steakhouse, to the Design District. The restaurant offers a selection of Waygu beef, including American Waygu and A5 Japanese Wagyu — the latter sourced from the Miyazaki prefecture, where true Wagyu are raised. The steaks are dry-aged for a minimum of 45 days in house and then seasoned with a mixture of British Maldon, Himalayan pink, and Korean thousand-day salts before being presented raw and cooked to order tableside. And if you have a taste for primo caviar, Cote has you covered. It came as no surprise in 2022 when Cote Miami earned a Michelin star.

Seafood, Steakhouse, Menu

This stunner of a steak house — a classy throwback to a dinner-club design — is where you might find celebs and notables cozy in the red velvet banquettes. High rollers and those whales the Hardrock casinos comp come to the Council Oak to spend a wad, while average slotsters might find it hard to order even an appetizer and a drink without pawning something. Go for the steaks that are billed as 100 percent prime and cut in the kitchen. Enormous porterhouse and veal chops feed four or maybe six. An à la carte menu features familiar steak-house dishes like escargots, oysters Rockefeller, onion soup, classic shrimp cocktail, a wedge salad, whole lobster, and creamed spinach. The wine list is impressive, with many poured by the glass; it leans to the bold reds, natch. The best deal for the wallet could be the $50 Sunday brunch featuring stations of salads, carved meats, egg dishes, a raw bar, and special hot dishes, coupled with a full room of dessert choices. It's best described as an "experience" steak house - it just happens to have slots outside the door and bands in concert around the corner.

Steakhouse, Breakfast/Brunch, Critics' Pick, Best Of, Slideshow

Quality food that looks and tastes great will fit most folks' bill, even more so if it's fairly priced. Understanding this concept is what gives Edge Steak & Bar the edge over competitors in the steakhouse and hotel restaurant games. The seafood and Creekstone Farms steaks are offered in small, medium, and large cuts, with prices to match, including a six-ounce grass-fed Angus Pure filet mignon and a New York strip, each assertively seared on an 1,800-degree infrared grill. Seafoods are likewise portioned to please. A napoleon layered with dark chocolate ganache and gianduja crunch is one of several heavenly and creative desserts. Insider tip: Edge offers $1 oysters on the happy hour menu, but what's more impressive is the custom Edge Tasting Experience. It's a five-course menu by executive chef Aaron Brooks and his culinary team. Every Tuesday, they create a new tasting menu for the week that includes restaurant favorites and off-the-menu items for $65 per person. A beverage pairing costs an additional $35 per person.

Step inside the Bird Road location of El Novillo and you'll find yourself in the re-created courtyard of a Nicaraguan hacienda, complete with burbling fountain and guitar music. That's the idea at least, and if you don't find it convincing, let the excellent food and extremely attentive service ease your nerves and remove you from Bird Road traffic woes. If that doesn't work, eat a 16-ounce "Big Daddy" churrasco —after that, you won't care where you are. Perfectly cooked — seared outside, melting inside — churrasco is the signature at El Novillo, but just about all of the food stands out here. Read more about El Novillo.

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse

2525 Ponce de Leon Blvd. Coral Gables/S. Miami

305-569-7995

Steakhouse, Recommended, Menu

A glance around the grand 6,700-square-foot restaurant confirms beef is the main attraction here: prime, corn-fed, USDA, aged up to four weeks, cut into portions, salted and peppered, and broiled at 1,600 degrees. They have the process down pat, which shouldn't be a surprise — the Gables outpost is the 32nd location. Fleming's focuses on three cuts of beef: filet mignon, New York strip, and rib eye, each available in two sizes — the smaller portions allow for more than enough juicy, enthusiastically seasoned meat. Peppercorn, Madeira, or béarnaise sauces are served upon request. Fleming's attempts to separate itself from the steakhouse pack by virtue of its wine program, which has nationally netted numerous Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence. An extensive, reader-friendly list boasts more than 100 selections poured by the glass and a separate menu of 80 special reserves sold by the bottle.

Fogo De Chao

Brazilian, Portuguese, Steakhouse, Best Of

Let's hark back to the days when meat was served in portions the size of Hyundais. Better yet, let's just mosey on over to Fogo de ChÃ£o, which loosely translates to "stuff of the face." Or maybe not â?? our Portuguese isn't so hot â?? but we know a great cut of meat when we eat one. The way it works, as most Miamians know, is a band of servers comes to the table hauling long skewers of fat, juicy meats, and provides continuous slicing privileges for those who want it. There are some 15 Brazilian-style cuts in all, our favorites being the picanha (prime sirloin), beef ancho (prime part of the rib eye), tender pork ribs, pork sausages, leg of lamb... well, guess we like it all. The meats here just seem fresher, moister, and more flavorful than those at other eateries of this type. Diners are likewise lassoed by fresh breads, side dishes, and a ridiculously extensive salad bar. The whole shebang costs $46.50 ($26.50 for kids) â?? not a bad deal when broken down to price per pound.

The Forge is as famous as any South Florida restaurant not named Joe's Stone Crab. After a $10 million renovation, the museum-like mahogany interior has been lightened and brightened to invigorating effect. Yet the six cuts of proffered beef remain the most sought-after entrées. Pair a steak with a glass of wine in one-, three-, or five-ounce pours from a choice of 80 bottles from the restaurant's vaunted cellar collection. Read our full review of the Forge.

An encyclopedic wine list and suave, professional service add to the enjoyment of meats cooked on the grill or the turntablelike asador, whether a long slab of immensely flavorful skirt steak or a mixed grill of deeply savory sausages, sweetbreads, short ribs, and flap meat (like hangar steak). Finish with balcarce, a sexy sort of Argentine tiramisu with sponge cake, dulce de leche, coconut, and more.

Between frenzied flings with wasabi foams, foie gras ice cream, and other frivolous foods, diners return to safe and steady steakhouses such as the Grill on the Alley. The original Grill has thrilled Beverly Hills A-listers since 1984, and this Aventura branch relies on the same menu and formula — that of the classic American grill. That means sidecar martinis, shrimp cocktails, and oysters on the half-shell; Prime USDA steaks such as a juicy 16-ounce rib eye; pristine seafood entrées such as pan-seared mahi-mahi amandine; Buick-size baked potatoes, creamed spinach, and a wodgy wedge of iceberg lettuce glopped with blue cheese dressing; six-layer carrot cake, hot cobbler à la mode, and key lime pie. So consistent, so reliable, and so comforting in its predictability, the place brings no frills, no ills, and no unexpected thrills. Read our full review.
