Best steak in Lexington (2020 edition)

[willyclyde]

Idk, but the best steaks in Madison Co are right off exit 90 at the TBONES 5 FOR $12 trailer in the Citgo parking lot. There’s a huge inflatable Tbone at the intersection, can’t miss is. Traveling steak season is finally here!!!!

20(!) RIBEYES FOR $30 IN LEX AT THE BIG TENT IN HAMBURG OR OUTSIDE THE MALL!! Top quality, thick, and juicy, without a doubt!

I'll say this... a 10 oz prime ribeye from Fresh Market cooked via the reverse sear (i.e., oven then finished off on iron skillet) is as good as any steakhouse I've been to, unless you are including things like Kobe beef.

I will never buy a steak anywhere else again. Got 2 tenderloins there a few nights ago and they were absolutely delicious (usually go with the strips which are awesome too).

Ruby’s steak is amazing for the restaurant route.

Tony’s but I have not been to Jeff Ruby’s.

IMO, Jeff Ruby's is overpriced and overrated.

Lump Charcoal on the BGE. I will never own a gas grill

Yep - for both Ruby's and Tony's, you're paying for the experience, service (which is fine,) and the ability to tell everyone on social media "I spent $250 on dinner tonight, look at me!"

I take clients to fancy steakhouses when it's on the expense account, but I'd much rather cook my own steak for 1/4 the price and drink my own bourbon for 1/8 the price vs going out to eat at an upscale place like those.

That's exactly what I do.
