Philly’s Best Steakhouses

Where to dig into a thick, juicy steak

When it comes to steak, Philadelphia has a penchant for slicing it and piling it on a long roll with melted cheese. But cheesesteaks aside, if the situation calls for a thick cut of beef served in a white-tablecloth setting with a glass of wine or a Manhattan, Philly can pull that off too.

Take a trip to an old-school steakhouse — complete with live piano — or get specific on steak sourcing at a restaurant that highlights farms in different states. In Philly, you can even find a super-luxe cheesesteak rib-eye. Whatever you crave, the home of the steak sandwich serves more than just steak on a roll, so here are Philly’s top steakhouses.
