Has been pretty consistent through the years and is the only Bob's I have found to be worth visiting.

We are regulars at the Plano location and have grown pretty fond of the staff. From the outside looking in, the Bob's on Lemmon has never seemed terribly appealing.

I love Bob's. I've only been a couple times in the last few years, but the steak is always good.

I have been spending more of my good steak money at Knife in the Highland. The flavor of the aged steaks there is tremendous.

The tomahawk Waygu I got there is the best steak I've ever had

Didn't Bob's on Lemmon change hands sometime back? That may not matter. Good place; hate the carrot - it's a tourist attraction at this point (the carrot; not the restaurant).

Best two steaks I've had in Dallas that I always remember that jumped out at me are Pappa's and Townhearth. Not sure if latter is even still around and it's not purely a steak place.

Knife is very underrated

Yes, it is. Didn't realize it was still open. Great place the one time I've been.

We did a progressive steak dinner before COVID with friends.

Started at nick and sams for cocktails and caviar, bobs for main dinner, knife for dessert and drinks.

Had never actually eaten at Nick and Sam's until about 2 years ago. That place might put Vegas to shame with it's presentation and atmosphere.

Bob himself got arrested for fraud (forced via gambling addiction) and had to sell corporate to pay it off. It's a corporate chain now

I knew there was a reason I liked the feel of Bob's.

He bought it back in 2019

Bob buys back original Lemmon location

Al Biernat's has my top steak.

They must have cut a deal with the Omni, because there's one in every hotel.

I like Bob's, but Nick and Sam's is the best, imo.

Pepper steak at Cafe Pacific in HP is legit.

Not a traditional steakhouse type steak but REAL good.

They're both good but I like the vibe at Bob's.

I was a regular at Bob's on Lemmon until Sambol sold it. I haven't been since he bought it back. I like Pappas and Nick & Sam's. Knife is solid as well.

I'll eat at three forks, Del Frisco and Al Biernat's but they're not my favorites. I haven't gone to any of these since being vaccinated and I was thinking about going to Bob's. No reason, just normally go to to entertain people and there's been less of that, but it's starting up again.

Looked this up because I thought Cafe Pacific was a covid casualty. It's not! So that's good. However, this item is not on their menu anymore.

If you like dry aged steak you should check out Rapscallion on Lower Greenville, especially on a Wednesday night. They pretty much always have a ~40 day dry aged ribeye available and on Wednesdays they are 50% off.

I've only been to Bobs once but need to go back. Wasn't blown away but it was with a large group which makes things tricky to get the timing right sometimes.

Love the atmosphere of Nick & Sam's and have always had a great meal at Del Frisco's Double Eagle.

If you get a chance and they have some available, be sure and order some of the Ohmi steak at Nick and Sam's. At one point, they were one of only 2 places in the US that carried it. Not sure now. Absolutely amazing.

Bobs on Lemmon is 75% about the food and 50% about the atmosphere. You never know who you will see there Switzer, Aikman, Dirk, Cuban the Car Czar

But the steak is still good, the carrot ain't bad and the margarita on the rocks at the bar is nails

I've always thought Bob's, Nick and Sam's, and Al Biernat's were Dallas steakhouse royalty.

Al Biernat's definitely is. Original location anyway.

We go to their North Dallas location when we got out big for steak because it's closer to us. Granted, we haven't actually done that in 2 years.

The one that used to be a Del Friscos. I took my wife there the night we got engaged.

Yes, they gutted and redid the space as Al Biernats. Pretty damn slick. Added windows and opened it up.

The windows give a great view of the Arby's across the street. We usually do that one or Chamberlain's for a steak night, can't go wrong with either.

Whoa, this thread is gold. I've been interested in going to kKnife, but haven't heard of the others (even after living here a year). I'm excited to try them all!
