Mahogany is my favorite, and one of the nicest restaurants in Tulsa up there with Polo Grill, Warren Duck Club, French Hen, Palace Cafe, and Bodeans.

I have always enjoyed Spudder and Silver Flame..the new location for Jamils is successful, we have eaten there and quality has been spotty of late. Eddy's used to be great but don't know whats up with the chef as last time we were there spicing was non existent - thought I was eating hospital food sorry to say. Mahogony is excellent but man o man  yes they are pricey and you need to dress up for the occasion. I would kill for a great steak myself closer to TU or even downtown..I get south of 31 st and I get nervous ha..

Go to Brothers Houligan just east of 15th & Lewis.  Get the T-bone.

Another great place, and this is going to sound strange, but In The Raw has GREAT steaks.  After having a couple people tell me I had to try them, I did, and was not disappointed.

Try Eddy's, 31st and Harvard.

This thread pretty much nailed it.  Polo, Mahoganey, and Fleming's (even if it is a chain) are sort of in their own category.

The Lebanese places deserve their own special category. Right now, I think Freddie's is the best of the group.  I grew up on Jamil's, but I'm not as happy with them since they moved.  Need to try it again.  And the aformentioned Eddie's is a good deal and comparable to both.

Also, there are several other places in town that do a pretty mean steak.  I like the one at Keo quite a bit.  You can't go wrong with one from Brasserie, either.  And no thread about steak can occur without a mention of Steakfinger's, downtown.   ;)

I went to Eddy's on Harvard a couple of times last month after not dining there for over ten years. It was really good. I thought the steaks were excellent.

Avalon has gone to heck since moving just like Jamil's. Surprisingly, KilKenny's makes a great New York Strip.

Anyone tried a steak at the Chalkboard in the Ambassador Hotel?  I keep meaning to try that place.

What is it with you and mean food?  I really like polite steak much better than the mean ones.  Does anyone do a steak that's just slightly rude?

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Corner Cafe makes a pretty rude steak, I'd imagine.  ;)

Since Rosie's closed, I have not been able to find a place worthy of suggesting to others.  But I'm a very picky steak eater.

I've just gotten really good at preparing my own with that triple burner grill on my patio.

Yes, steak and eggs for breakfast and brunch and I've had them for dinner.

They've all been excellent.

I eat mine rare to mid-rare so I can only give my opinion for that temp range.  I have no idea how they taste non-cool center.

McGill's has excellent steaks and seafood, not cheap, though.

A different sort of steak house...Shogun, or Osaka hibachi grills. Great steaks and a very fun presentation.

Haven't been to Spudder in a long time, but they were always excellent when I did go.

Seeing Mark at El Rio Verde today reminded me that the steak I had a "Lucky's" was nothing short of heavenly. Worth every penny, perfectly cooked. I should have remembered this in my previous post.

Well, Burger King now has an "Angry Whopper".  I wonder what they did to piss it off??

This thread makes me want to go to Freddie's. It's been months since I've been and I'm craving their tabouli and cabbage rolls with a side of steak.
