Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse
The elegant, intimate atmosphere of Vic & Anthony’s will draw you in the minute you enter the door. This steakhouse offers a thoughtfully crafted menu, an extensive wine selection, and memorably impeccable service.
Start off your meal with one of their impressive cold or hot appetizers. Particularly notable is the roasted bacon, featuring pepper-crusted bacon that is finished in an incredible bourbon maple syrup and root beer glaze for that perfect salty-sweet combination.
Moving on to the main attraction, Vic & Anthony’s offers a wide array of steaks from a variety of purveyors. Stay local with the juicy and shareable 40-ounce tomahawk chop from Texas’ own Harwood Brand Beef. Head down under with a New York strip from Australia’s Darling Downs Collection. Accent your steak with a choice of complementary sauces and toppings, ranging from a creamy béarnaise to luxurious king crab fondue.

Brenner’s Steakhouse
Take a break from your bustling day with a special meal at Brenner’s Steakhouse. The cozy, elegant setting is awash in natural touches like a cascading waterfall and stone fireplace that provide a relaxing backdrop to an award-winning meal.
Brenner’s offers lunch and dinner and an outstanding brunch menu. Come hungry to enjoy such sweet treats as the French cinnamon toast crunch, featuring thick Texas toast, rich Chantilly cream, and a berry compote. Brenner’s signature Benedict improves the original by piling a jumbo lump crab cake, prime rib, and a poached egg atop a fluffy buttermilk biscuit.
And not to worry, steak figures prominently as a mid-morning meal option on the brunch menu. Try a center-cut filet, a prime Manhattan strip, or a 16-ounce prime rib that is big enough to share (or enjoy on your own).

Pappa Bros. Steakhouse
The passion for quality food and service runs deep at Pappa Bros. and is evident from the moment you walk in the door. Consistently recognized as one of the top steakhouses in the country, Pappa Bros. is perhaps most notable for its single-minded focus on the meat, with in-house butchers who prepare each cut for the custom dry-aging process that happens right under Pappa Bros. roof.
Their devotion to high-quality ingredients is evident from the first bite. Start off your meal with an appetizer of bacon-wrapped scallops or inventive lobster deviled eggs. Then move on to the main event, featuring USDA prime beef that has been dry-aged in-house for a minimum of one month. The sheer variety of cuts is truly impressive, from prime filet mignon and New York strip to a dry-aged porterhouse. Seafood lovers will rejoice with pan-seared sea bass or live Maine lobster.
Once you’ve enjoyed every bite of your meal at these Houston steak institutions, make sure to leave room for dessert!
