A classic steakhouse is a quintessential dining experience in Oklahoma City. As the urban hub of cattle country and home to the world’s largest cattle market, the Modern Frontier has a well-earned reputation for exceptional steakhouses, offering prime cuts and distinctive atmospheres for both visitors and locals.
Where to Find the Best Cuts & Classic Flavors
The oldest continuously operating restaurant in Oklahoma, Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, deserves top billing on any beefy bucket list. Since opening in Stockyards City in 1910, the seasoned steakhouse has attracted politicians, ranchers and celebrities, and it remains a timeless tradition, marked by vintage photos, cattle murals and a roundup of affordable steaks. Don’t miss the chicken-fried steak, slathered in cream gravy, or the succulent USDA Prime rib-eye.
If you’re looking for a more contemporary atmosphere, RED PrimeSteak offers a sleek space where the menu is just as creative as the decor. Perfect for couples, girls’ night or impressing the in-laws, the Automobile Alley mainstay features luxury items like 40-day dry-aged rib-eye and a 16-oz. Wagyu bone-in strip, while other menu items, including beef tenderloin tamales and ice-cold dirty martinis, round out the new-school steakhouse atmosphere.
Other steak restaurants include Mickey Mantle’s Steakhouse, a swanky Bricktown favorite for its robust wine list, cigar lounge and the largest selection of Wagyu steaks in the city, while Mahogany Prime specializes in custom-aged Prime Midwestern steaks, literally sizzling with flavor as filets and rib-eyes emerge fresh from the 900-degree broiler. Along with a lavish cocktail and wine program, the steakhouse impresses with its cozy, stone-lined dining room and lively bar area.
For more of the best steak in OKC, Ranch Steakhouse is as classic as they come, right down to the horse and cowboy portraits adorning the rustic-chic dining room. Look for pitch-perfect classics, like shrimp cocktail and iceberg wedge salad, along with USDA Prime strips, filets and sirloins, each paired with optional toppings such as truffle butter and Cajun crab cream sauce.
