Where is the Best Steak in Charlotte, North Carolina?
Went here quite a while ago, and it was my first experience in a Brazilian Steakhouse. Upon sitting down you are greeted by a server for drink orders and are advised to make your way to the salad/cheese/light appetizer bar to get appetite moving. Here there are shrimp, salads, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. Being that I came here for the meat selection, I went very light on that portion of the meal. Shortly after you receive little tokens where you are told that if it’s one side up the servers bring sticks of meat out to your table until you turn it “off” per se. They had a huge selection of meats; chicken, ribs, beef, lamb all done multiple ways. Each of these meats were cooked perfectly had no issues with the seasonings. They cut you pieces depending on how you like your meat i.e. the closer to the inside of the stick, it’s going to be more rare, etc., which is nice for people who are particular about their meat temperature. Like previous reviews have said, it’s best to go with
Mickey and Mooch used to be a great place to go to with outstanding service, ambiance and food. We have been going there for 8 years and have never been disappointed until last night. Our food was good and my steak was cooked perfectly but the meal was spoiled by poor service. We had made a reservation for 7 pm and were made to wait until I complained. While we were waiting in the bar it took 15 minutes just to get a drink. Only one bartender serving the entire restaurant and bar. Once seated it also became obvious there were not enough waiters. Our initial sevice was good but nowhere near what my expectations were based on prior visits to Mickey and Mooch. Pros + Easy parkingCons – Service is average
The Ranch House is definitely off the beaten path – but it is worth the hike (and the airplane noise!). It lives up to the idea of an old steak house with the dark interior and lots of steak options. We had the 22oz sirloin for 2 for $33 – it came with salad, potatoes, rolls and onion rings! The waitress was very attentive and the food was delicious! You really can’t beat salad, steak, and drinks for 2 for under $50!
In my opinion, Firebirds has the best burger in Charlotte. Maybe anywhere. But the key phrase is “in my opinion”. It also makes a difference whether cost is an issue or not. I’ve read reviews that claim Hardees or Backyard Burgers is the best. Well, for the price, yes they beat something like Wendys or McDonalds, but that’s a whole different category. (In which case Five Guys takes that prize!). But without considering cost, I have to say that the cheeseburgers I’ve had at Firebirds are second to none. I can’t make one as good on MY OWN grill. For a start, because they grind their own beef, they don’t have to conform to those stupid NC regulations that prohibit you having your burger cooked medium rare. But for whatever reason, the end result is superb, and worth the $8.95 . One negative though…their fries, in my opinion are perhaps the WORST I’ve had…they’re those horrible clunky steak-fries. (I almost feel like going in with my own bag of fries from Five Guys!! ) But
