Pappas Bros. Steakhouse

Best in Texas

by empresscat at Citysearch

Their reputation as the best steakhouse in town is well-deserved. Elegant without being fussy or uptight, the service was understated but attentive and the food...WOW. The fried oyster appetizer was the best oysters I've ever had and the ribeye steak (this is Texas, and that's our steak) was perfection

• Pros: the service and the food were as close to perfect as possible
• Cons: expensive

Great food, drinks, and service. What else do you need?

by Eric McG at Citysearch

A night to be remembered. I have eaten at steakhouses in many states and overseas, and Pappas is the best I have had. The steak just melted in my mouth. The appetizers were amazing (I tried the crab cakes, mac and cheese bake with lobster, and bacon wrapped scallops). Dessert was unique and delicious as well. In addition to the great food and infinite drink list, the service was outstanding. They treated me like I was the only guest in there even though they were packed. My wine glass never got below half before it was topped off and the manager took time to greet us and chat a bit with us. The best steakhouse I have ever been to.

• Pros: appitizers were outstanding
• Cons: a 100 page wine list can be taken as good or bad

EXCELLENT

by azeee at Citysearch

Great by all standards. The reception, the ambiance, the service, the food. Pappas Bros is one of the very few that writes the standard. Many a restaurant can learn quite a bit from this wonderfully managed establishment. Could get expensive when choosing from the extensive wine list, but not necessarily if you simply choose a moderate bottle. The Lobster Bisque, yummm, THE Steak (NY Strip is our favorite), The Desert, can u say MOON-PIE (enough for four). There is little that this place does wrong. HIGHLY RECOMENDED. Have been over a dozen times and cannot find a fault. Can't wait to go back again!

• Pros: FOOD, SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE, FOOD, SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE, REPEAT...
• Cons: NONE

The best steak in Dallas

by br549007 at Citysearch

My wife and I have ventured to most steakhouses out there and we have concluded that Pappas serves our favorite steak, hands down. The flavor is unsurpassed. The bisque is always favored by my wife and their salad with avocado ranch is always tasty. The au gratin potatoes are probably our favorite side. For dessert, don't miss their gooey pecan pie. The atmosphere is high end and you can dress up or down to your liking. Pappas is one of our fine dining staples.

One of the Best Steaks in Dallas!

by steak_guy at Citysearch

This has to be one of the top 3 steakhouses in Dallas. I've eaten at Pappas Bros on several occasions and it has never disappointed. The service is good, the wine selection is decent. The sides are wonderful and I can't say enough about the steaks. Check it out!!

Really, the best steakhouse in Dallas

by mrcheffy at Citysearch

This restaurant is truly one of the best in the US. The fried oysters are amazing and I don't like fried oysters, and so is the lobster bisque. The wait staff is excellent and the wait for a table with a reservation is very acceptable. Amazing wine list, although a bit pricey and the steaks are awesome. I've eaten here many times and none of the people I've been with had anything but positive comments about the food. This place could break the bank, it's not cheap so plan ahead so you can enjoy everything they offer.

• Cons: $$$$$$$

Best Steak I've Eaten

by cmichael1126 at Citysearch

Pappas Bros. is a lovely place to eat, and their filet is better than any I've tried (I've tried many but not all in Dallas). The food is deadly, of course, but great if you're seeking to indulge. They butter their steaks, which is fine by me because butter is so delicious. And if anything is wrong, they have always seemed eager to make it right. Sometimes they overcook, for example, but they will sweep the offending cut away and promptly replace it. The creme brulee is wonderful and covered with berries. The cheesecake is also a standout. The Caesar salad is very nice as well, but I haven't developed a fondness for any of the sides although I have tried most. Overall, I would say that dinner is well worth the money for a special occasion (I got enaged here not long ago), or it can brighten up a Tuesday.

• Pros: food is delicious; prices are reasonable
• Cons: valet parking; I've probably shaved a few years off my life by coming here

good but there are better options

by dallas_foodie at Citysearch

my last visit here was kind of a letdown; i was served a very fatty piece of veal that i could not even cut through, and the replacement chop was subsequently undercooked. i realize that most people don't go to high end steakhouses for their health, but the food here is extremely rich in comparison to other similar establishments. even without the undercooked veal i still say this place is overrated and overpriced.

• Pros: professional service & amazing wine list
• Cons: VERY rich food (as steakhouses go)

For more than 60 years, this steakhouse has offered quality cuts served in a classic upscale atmosphere.

In Short
Cherry and mahogany walls, white tablecloths and terrazzo floors combine 1930s swank with today's technology and obsession with prime cuts of beef, dry aged on-site. The 1,800 varieties of wine that line the walls of the wine room features a good price range. Steak, lamb or veal entrees vary from 10-ounce prime strip to 26-ounce porterhouse; seafood includes market-price, live and cold-water lobster. The popular steakhouse salad features sliced fruit and candied almonds.
