(NEXSTAR) – The average steakhouse usually specializes in all the foods your cardiologist warns you about large portions of red meat, gooey mac and cheese, towers of fried onion rings, and various vegetables that have been generously creamed (corn or spinach, mostly) before reaching your table.
For the sake of your next angiogram, you probably shouldn’t eat these foods on a regular basis. But if you’re dead-set on disregarding your doctor’s advice, you should at least break your diet at a steakhouse that gets rave reviews.
To help you find the best of the best, Nexstar has asked the analysts at Yelp to determine the top-ranked restaurants within the site’s “steakhouse” category. Using their extensive database of user-generated restaurant ratings, Yelp’s team ultimately identified the best-reviewed chophouses in each state based on the collective tastes of the Yelp community.
Ready to dig in? Take a look below at Yelp’s top-rated steakhouses in every state — many of which have a lovely fish option packed with omega-3s, if you’re so inclined:

It should be noted that Yelp’s analysts based their findings not just on the quality of the ratings and reviews of each steakhouse, but also on the “total volume” of reviews — meaning newer steakhouses may be underrepresented.
Even still, the top-ranked steakhouse in the entire country — identified by a Yelp representative as Penumbra in Chicago, Illinois — has made quite the impact with diners since opening less than a decade ago in 2016: In addition to its latest honor, Yelp once ranked Penumbra as the most “romantic” restaurant in the country back in 2019.
“I’m very happy [the customers] enjoy it,” Penumbra owner Rita Vargas told Nexstar.
