Texas is known for many things. From its hot temperatures to its live music to its world-class BBQ, the Lone Star State is its own universe within the United States, one that is unapologetically itself. Some of the most well-known aspects of this large state are its cattle country and its prized beef, so it is no surprise that Texas also houses some of the best steakhouses in the United States.
Anyone can tell you that Texas is the place to be for meat-lovers. Although the city of Austin has its fair share of vegan food, and the state's proximity to Mexico gives Texas an abundance of authentic and delicious Mexican and Tex-Mex fare, the many meat-based options are not to be overlooked when in the second largest state in the country. Texas BBQ is famed for its delectable brisket, pork ribs and sausage, all of which were influenced by the German and Czechoslovakian immigrants who settled in the state during the 19th century.
Along with its beloved BBQ, Texas steakhouses are something that every meat-lover should experience while passing through or living in this meat-loving state. From classic Steakhouse menus to ones featuring dishes exuding a Latin flare, the only thing that is for certain is that if you're in the state of Texas, be sure to treat yourself to some of the best steaks in the country. We have composed a list of the top 10 best steakhouses in Texas that will satisfy the cravings of any carnivore.
