Thank you Will Cover.


My parents brought me and my wife there two weekends ago and the food was excellent.

I really enjoyed the beef ribs, but found myself asking my mom for more than one bite of her filet.

And I am glad y'all went back to bigger portions. The baby back ribs are HUGE now and are priced very reasonable.

Why do you say that? What do you know about them that makes you say that they wont be there in August?

I actually think that Primo's will stand the test of time. I was there last wednesday and had an incredible meal. Primo's has a great new Chef, new management and a new menu. They also got rid of that fricking cheezeee-arse dance floor.

In BR:

Little Village (Ribeye or Oscar)
Ruths
Flemmings
Doe's
Ruffinos
...
everything else (maybe Tsunami's steak)

No way in hell could Sullivans even sniff this list until they start actually cooking with USDA Prime instead of selling Choice at Prime prices.

Are you saying Ruth's s a chain?

Ruth's in BR is a chain by name only. I have heard that Ruth's in other cities are not so good, but the one in BR (owned by TJ) is the best Ruth's in the country.



Before Katrina the original on Broad was rated one of the top 10 steak houses in the world. The one on Fulton will never be the original, nor does it try to be. As for the one in BR, it's very good but there's just something about the service you get at the ones in N.O. and Metairie that sets them above the other two in La. College kid waitstaffs just takes something away from the whole experience imho.

I'm not a fan of them at all but I have been many times over the years.

I've never been waited on by a college kid either that I can remember. No big deal if I did but I can't say I have.

The only one I didn't mind was Broad. It was good and lightyears ahead of any others. Plus they were the only one that had homemade potato chips and believe it or not they served them with ketchup.

The bone in New York Strip at Flemings is the best steak I've had in a long time.

Ruffino's does a good job I just prefer other things.

I bought two 2" thick prime ribeyes at Blalock's in Gulf Shores yesterday and will grill them this evening. Nice.

Fleming's gets my vote. Bone-in ribeye...



I've been to Doe's recently to compare, but it's been quite a while since I've been to Primo's or Ruth's Chris.

had the "prime" ribeye at LV downtown recently...overcooked (medrare came to me pink, warm on the inside, and firm...which is medwell to me)and not tender. wifes meal was very good, but both sides were cold. 1/2 LV bread, and a good bottle of wine ended up at $170.00 and a $30.00 tip cuz the waiter was very good. i could have spent that money at a nicer resterant.

somebody posted that all the TJ restaurants have the same equipment that Ruths has...i don't think any of the Ribs have a Monteque? anyone know for sure.

That sounds pretty close to medium-rare to me

quote:

Internal Temperature 130 to 135 degrees F. (55 to 57 degrees C.)
At medium rare your steak should be warm through the middle with a hint of red. Most of the center of the steak should be pink. The sides should be well browned, the top and bottom charred to a dark brown color. This steak should have a firm surface but be soft in the middle.

Dont know of any steakhouse that would know what you consider medium rare vs the universally understood temp.
