Posters who resort to the go to correcting of “your vs you’re” are cringe AF lol.
Dude, you got the nerve to call someone “cringe” when you CHOSE a nickname of an admitted homosexual Hershey Highway freak that likes little boys. Sick.

Many better in Louisville. Stony River and many others. The above discussion is the "cliche" version of good steaks.


Everyone's palette is different so it's always going to be subjective. That being said I couldn't disagree with this more. Fancy steakhouses are about the only kind of super high end dining I treat myself to and in Louisville Ruby's to me is unquestionably at the top. Z's Oyster Bar and Steakhouse is 2nd but is not quite Ruby's and I think there is a significant drop after that. Don't get me wrong Stony River, Ruth's Chris, Butchertown Grocery, Bob's, Le Moo, Eddie Merlot's, and a few others are fine and I wouldn't turn down going to but if I'm setting it up unless trying a new place(which I did a couple weekends ago Brooklyn and The Butcher in New Albany literally the worst place I've tried) then it's always Ruby's.

If you're a traveler then Cut in both Vegas and LA , Boa in Santa Monica, Gibson's in Chicago, and Kayne Prime in Nashville were all incredible. Cut in Vegas is probably the best steak I've ever had. May all your cuts be bone in ribeyes and all your temperatures medium rare.

On the Trail? Thought they closed now. Haven't eaten there in years. S'Okay.

If you are mortgaging the house, Bern's IS steak in Florida.
when the Cats were playing in St Petersburg for the '98 elite 8 (came from 17 down to beat Duke), between afternoon and evening games ventured over to Tampa to Berns. Just thought I'd give it a try. The host almost laughed at me when I said I didn't have a reservation, saying I'd have to make arrangements six months in advance. Never did eat there, but have heard it is the best there is.

You are right about it being subjective. For those who eat theirs Medium and above they are wasting their money. Certainly there are quite a few on this thread. There is a fine line between those restaurants above and that also extends down to the particular piece of beef you were given. J Alexanders is one I like...different name now but same place...and Brooklyn and the Butcher is trending down. But you can get a really good piece of meat on a given night about anywhere. Le Moo...meh. I do a really good job myself so I took the fam to Le Moo. When we left one of my fam said....your's is better. Yep.

I'm 0-2 so far at Ruby's. Once in Cincy and once here in Lex. Both times our steaks came out wrong which led to 2 recook attempts each time. By the third delivery attempt our dining experience had been blown. They really botched it both times. I know this can't be the norm at Ruby's but it's unlikely we'll ever go back except maybe to sit at the bar. The strip brought out here in Lex wasn't top tier either. Tony's has the best strip not only in Lex but just about anywhere else. I've eaten at many top level steak houses all over the place including Bern's in Tampa and I can tell you Ruby's, although good, isn't close to what it pretends to be.

Frank Underwood is a fictional tv character. Kevin Spacey is the actor that plays him.

Worked at one of his restaurants in nky in college. He would come in sometimes to show face (ruby) and was a wanna be gangster. Also found it creepy he would have local high school athletes (mainly from highlands) he would be “close” with and called them “sons”. More then a bit creepy

He's a little more than wanna be...I remember when he was found unconscious along the highway somewhere,
someone had given him the old heave-ho from a moving vehicle - then suddenly the narrative was changed to
he jumped himself while arguing with his wife...he is definitely a mega oddity.

I’m not the biggest steak eater, but I had a pretty good one at Charley’s Steak House in Kissimmee the other day. 21 day aged Porterhouse. Anyone else tried that place?

Where’s that at?

Wrong...

Never been to the one in Lexington, but unless it is way off from Cincinnati's locations the steaks are spot on and worth every penny.
Spot on? Yes; they're excellent.

Worth every penny? Hell no...I can produce one just as tasty on my grill for a fraction of the cost

LOL. yes it is a matter of opinion when considering higher end steak houses. But GD, NOTHING, I mean nothing about Logans should even be mentioned in the conversation. Horrible. it is sad when the best thing at the joint is the peanuts. Come to Logans Steakhouse, "Our food is so ******, we give away peanuts to offset it." If Logans is your idea of "great" steak, you need to get out more often, or try not to comment on a subject that is obviously not for you. Not a baller, but Logans is the last place I would order a steak from, well other than maybe Sizzler.

You think there is a chance he chose that name before all this stuff came out about Spacey?
