Best Tasting Steaks in Owensboro Kentucky Based on Your Votes

Let the great steak debate begin! What restaurant has the most flavor-packed steak in Owensboro? After over 400 recommendations were shared, these are your top picks. Do you agree or disagree with the results?

To say that I love a good steak is an understatement. I consider myself a steak aficionado! My go-to cut of meat is ribeye cooked medium. Make it a cowboy ribeye, and I'm in heaven. It must have excellent marbling throughout to be a full-flavored cut. In my former job, I ate at steakhouses all over the country. I would often meet with studio reps that liked to wine and dine. Shula's Steak House in Chicago was a standout. Michael Jordan's Steakhouse in New York served one of the best steaks I've ever had. I want to go back to BOA Steakhouse in Santa Monica. Peter Luger Steakhouse in New York was something special. What about Owensboro? Which restaurant consistently provides high-quality steaks? Which gives you that holy cow moment?

Ugh! This is tricky! I LOVE Longhorns ribeye steak, but Cheddars makes a mean 1 too. Briarpatch is DELICIOUS too, but City Walk is 1 of a kind.
How you do even choose? Anyways, those are my TOP 4!!!! - Stacey Hentz

Texas Road House and then I think it's a toss-up between Longhorn Steak House and Colby's. Colby's uses aged beef, not sure about the others. Almost forgot, that Briarpatch is up there too. - Jeff Stone

See, it isn't going to be easy to choose!
