Looking for a new steak place to try, something off the map. Not the typical Perry’s, flemings, etc. any suggestions? Shulas was our go to before they closed down.

Michael’s or the Bright star

Buy a dry aged prime ribeye from Shirley Brothers in pelham and put it on a charcoal grill.

Very pricey but it will be the best you will ever eat.

Shula's and Perry's are good and consistent but those are chains. That's why when you Google best steak place in Birmingham that's what shows up.

There are more local restaurants in Birmingham that have a good steak than I can list. Someone suggesting the "best" is foolish like asking someone where the best hamburger joint is.

Try Helen on 2nd Ave North. It's good. Highlands, Bottega, Hot & Hot, Gian Marcos and surprisingly Ocean use to have one of the best steaks around but a seafood restaurant and I haven't eaten there lately.

None of those places will be more expensive then Perry's those chains are at least if not more expensive than the good places to eat.

I have had the Filet at both Perry's and Flemmings and they are truely excellent. The GM at Season's 52 told me she would put their steak up against anyone in town. Village Tavern also has a good steak, but I haven't had a fillet there. Just a sirloin.

Helen or Gianmarcos would be my two picks

Another chain but Carabas has a surprisingly good steak. I like Perrys...never was crazy about Fleming steak

If youre willing to take a little drive, Rock House Eatery in Guntersville. Had the best steak in my life there hands down. Absolutely delicious.

East West... Mongolian Rib-eye out of this world delicious

Waffle House in Ensley.

Waffle House use to sell more steaks than anyone in the industry. I don't know if that is still true.

It’s a chain but I like them and I can get it delivered. Saltgrass has a mighty fine Ribeye, wifey prefers the Filet. All about the grill marks. Mmmmmm

Helen or Automatic Seafood

The short rib and bone in ribeye at Helen was some of the better I’ve had.

20oz bone in rib eye at flemmings hard to beat

Firebirds has a really good chili rubbed delmonico

Eastwest mongolian ribeye is good. Not a traditional steak, but it's worth ordering.

Perry's is OK.

Haven't been to Flemings in a decade.

Cafe dupont used to have a good ribeye but it's been 5 or 6 years. I don't know if they are still open?

Gianmarocs Veal chop is great.

Need to try Helen, heard about it, haven't been there.

Didn't see a steak at automatic seafood. I stopped at the fish collar in Calabrian butter.

Firebirds is decent. I've not had a bad steak at Saltgrass yet. If I'm in the mood for steak and don't want to cook it myself, that's where I go.
