What an experience. I dined at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse for my first dinner after landing in Dallas and it set an impossibly high bar for the rest of my meals during my Dallas trip. The food and service here is absolutely incredible. That said, given how pricey the meal is, you'll certainly want to reserve this meal for celebrations and special occasions. Between the four in our party, we shared the following: jumbo lump crab cakes ($36.95), prime tomahawk ($194.95), prime New York strip 14oz ($64.95), jumbo asparagus ($17.95), roasted wild mushrooms ($21.95), creamed spinach ($17.95), and a New York-style cheesecake ($18.00) for dessert to share. If you're a wine enthusiast, there's a Bible sized wine menu available here to thumb through. Our server made it a point to emphasize the scale and expansiveness of their wine list. The list goes on and on -- covering every imaginable region of the world and year, and as a casual wine drinker, I was simply overwhelmed. However, if you're looking for cocktails instead, any "standard" cocktail you can think of is available. I ordered an Old Fashioned and it was stiff, yet nicely balanced. Moving on to the food, I have never had crab cakes as good as the ones here -- this appetizer is a must order. Most crab cakes I've had have too much bread crumb fillers and tend to be a bit bland. The ones here contain generous amounts of large, chunky crab meat, are well-seasoned, and are perfectly fried. The tomahawk steak is a serious show-stopper. If there's one cut to order, it's this one. Carved table-side, you really get to appreciate the size and beauty of this cut of meat. The meat is expertly cut off from the bone, and I love the distribution of rendered fat on each piece of meat. Some steakhouses offer a bunch of different sauces and dips to go with the meat, but none of that is available here: you're here for the meat, and you can truly appreciate the flavor and quality of the dry-aged meat in its purest form. All you really need is some salt and you've got the perfect bite. The steak here is delicious; no notes. Although the steak is the clear star of the show at Pappas Bros., the sides cannot be skipped over (not that you'd want to, given how delicious everything sounds). I was tempted to order the large tower of golden onion rings that many other tables seemed to be ordering, but ultimately settled on some of the other vegetable offerings. The creamed spinach is rich and decadent. One order is easily enough for a group to share. The jumbo asparagus is honestly some of the longest and largest spears of asparagus I've ever seen. They had a nice snappy bite to them. Although you'll probably be absolutely stuffed by the end of your meal, I encourage you to order at least a dessert to split. Although I only had a chance to try the New York-style cheesecake, it's something I would happily order again. The gargantuan size of the slice of cheesecake is enough for a group of 8 to split. Like everything else on the menu, the cheesecake is rich. I appreciate that the cake itself was not overly sweet. The whipped cream on top was light and fluffy. If you're looking for a steakhouse in Dallas with quality food, drinks and service, look no further than Pappas Bros. Steakhouse. Closing note: there is no dress code that's enforced. read more

It was a really nice steakhouse and the ambiance was great. Service was great. The dessert was really good. The portions were good. I just wasn't wow's by the steak. It was good but not great. I got the ribeye. It was cooked a hair past what I asked. Don't get me wrong it was a good steak. But I guess visiting Dallas and a highly recommend spot. Just was expecting more. Definitely check it out and hope your experience is just as good!! read more

Hated it! I came for my birthday. During restaurant week, got the 3 course special.... Caesar salad, dry aged ny strip (sides included were mash potatoes and asparagus) & cheesecake for desert. I had to have my food redone TWICE!! I always get NY strip anywhere I go, the ny strip here was a little tough and they told me "oh it's normally a more firm piece of steak" as if I didn't know what I was ordering. SO ANNOYING! I sent the ny back and got a filet (bc it's more tender) I tried the filet & it was undercooked .. I asked for it to be cooked a little more ...he brought the plate back and EVERYTHING on the plate was overcooked ...the steak was almost well done and the asparagus was almost melting (my steak was supposed to be cooked MEDIUM) the mashed potatoes didn't have a lick of flavor The asparagus was hard. & I like my vegetables a little crunchy but these were more than that. The manager came over, he was really nice and he tried his best to correct the issues I had (kudos to him) But after a 2nd time of my food being remade...I didn't want a 3rd remake.. I just took the food to go and got my check! - again the server was so nice & the manager but the cooks couldn't seem to get the food right! This kinda ruined my birthday! read more

came here for dinner last night with a big party and it was AMAZING. the steaks had a great crust, the caesar salad is delicious.. we had a lot of the sides like au gratin potatoes, skillet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, crab mac and cheese and our whole table raved about everything. our server scott was so knowledgeable and attentive. 10/10 already looking forward to going back! read more

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse - Prime Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Hands down one of the best steakhouse experiences we've had. The food was exceptional and, most importantly, SEASONED! Everything had flavor. The steak was incredible, the asparagus was delicious, but those au gratin potatoes?! My goodness. I'm still thinking about them! Perfectly rich, creamy, cheesy and browned on top. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, Pappas Bros. delivered. We will absolutely be back. Give Marcus a raise because he was truly the star as well as the food. He went over & beyond! read more

A phenomenal meal from start to finish. The A5Wagyu is an experience that cant be described for both tenderness and flavor. We had bone-in rib-eyes which had outstanding beef taste. The Au Gratin potatoes were cheese heaven. And our service was beyond reproach and pretty much unrivaled by other top steak houses we have been to in Dallas. An overall great experience read more

I had a great time at Pappas in Dallas on a Saturday night. Service was 100% in effect and ran like a well oiled machine. I had reservations for a party of 3. Two of us were seated at a table on time and we had drinks while waiting for the 3rd person. That 3rd person arrived with 2 more guest. Without any issues, our new party of 5 was moved to a larger table to accommodate everyone. We all had a great time. We communed, joked, laughed, and ate hard, It was one of those rare moments in life worth appreciating. Everyone's food arrived correctly as ordered and was fantastic! The porterhouse was perfect with a lovely crust, pink center, and savory seasoning. It melted away as I chewed each bite. This is the kind of steak one longs for in life and will quench that carnivorous desire once consumed. There were plenty of sides for all of us to share. As strange as it may seem, the turtle gumbo stood out the most and was a winner. It came with some sherry on the side to mix in. The complex flavors after one spoon that surrounded the tongue was so stimulating. The asparagus was fresh, seasoned well, and had a snap to it. The skillet potatoes were so savory and had a flavorful crust on some of the pieces. The mashed potatoes were dense, creamy, and slightly rich. Last of all was the mushrooms which were stellar. Hats off to the staff for such a marvelous presentation and treating us superbly. read more

Due to World Cup, it's our first time to been Texas. And Pappas Bros is our third dine in meal, after Texas Road house and Crown Block. I drove from Art Area. The steak is outstanding and awsome, comparing to Crown Block. We arrived around 7:07PM, stayed here like 78 minutes. Miss Jennifer was the waitress, she explained a lot, and gave us some advise, regarding the temperature and texture issues. We shared the 10OZ filet mignon and little gem Caesar salad. The Apple-Tini was perfectly prepared. However, I do apologize that I broke the glass. read more

This is by far one of my favorite steakhouse restaurants. The service is exceptional and the food is delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and would highly recommend. We had the lobster bisque and scallops to start the meal. The lobster bisque was a well seasoned and they add pepper to the dish table side if you want. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the flavorful juice/butter soaked into the bread. The whole dish went well together and definitely got my appetite ready. The ribeye was well marbled and cooked to a perfect medium rare. We had the onion rings, potatoes au gratin, and mushrooms. All the sides completed the meal perfectly. I would highly recommend the potatoes and mushroom sides. read more

Thursday night dinner with coworkers We had a private room for our group of 17. Favorite appetizers: crab cakes - jumbo lump crab sent from heaven above. Battered and fried to perfection. Not too much breading. Meal: broiled salmon fillet. Cooked med well, nice sauce on top and 3 jumbo shrimp. Not sure why they cant have a shrimp dish at a steak house when they clearly have shrimp. I really cant eat steak. The salmon was good and filling and especially with the apps and sides. We also got sides of au gratin potatoes, lobster deviled eggs and lobster mac and cheese. I like how they deconstruct the deviled egg and allow you to fix your own. I need to go back and get more crab cakes. I could have built a meal of apps and sides too. The place was busy as it was Thursday night, service was really good. read more

We celebrated our anniversary here during Restaurant Week, and it was such a treat! They offered a 3-course menu for $59 or a premium option for $99. We decided to go with the premium menu, and I ordered the Lobster Bisque to start, the 2 lb Live Maine Lobster as my main, and the Turtle Mousse Tart to finish. Every dish was flavorful, filling, and beautifully presented. Our waitress was super friendly and bubbly, checking in often to make sure our drinks were topped up. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, perfect for date night, a celebration, or even a business dinner. read more

This steakhouse is my favorite! It is pricey but the service has always been amazing. The restaurant is large not extremely spacy but low noise. I enjoy places like that when I'm spending time with my family or on a date. I always get the salmon with lump crab and shrimp on top , in an amazing creamy sauce that has capers in it.... I love . The crab Mac and cheese is ok....I don't think worth the price. The lemon drops are some of the best that I have enjoyed ! read more

A traditional classy American steakhouse never goes out of style. Everyone in Dallas is familiar with Pappas Steakhouse and there's a lot of hype around it, all for good reason. This is situated between 2 highways and a few other sister restaurants. There's valet and regular parking - walking in, it feels like a fancy and high class experience already. We were seated immediately and our waiter was quick to stop by. He was excellent and clearly has been in high class hospitality for decades. The bread they bring to the table is an entire little loaf, it's served steaming hot. Soft and airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We skipped appetizers and had a filet, ribeye, and lobster Mac n cheese. The filet... so so so delicious. The ribeye was fantastic too. They're cooked so simply you can tell the cut of meat is truly the best quality. One of the best filets I've had. The Mac n cheese was good - not too rich or cheesy. We were celebrating so our waiter brought by dessert and let me tell you, the cheesecake could serve 4-5 people. HUGE. Very delicious though. Overall, highly recommend. Super classy, traditional steakhouse experience with excellent service. read more

A steakhouse is an American institution like no other. It's a true experience of purity and beauty of meat that has now spread around the world. Pappas, like many stories in America, is a story of immigrants. Founded by a Greek family with the first location in Houston in 1995 and expanding to Dallas in 1998, passed down from one generation to the next. Thus, this location has now a historic spot in the dining scene of Texas. It is incredibly popular and for great reasons. The filet mignon was perhaps the best out there. Flavorful and tender, cooked just right. It's a steak to remember without doubt. With a backdrop of piano music and an excellent Gigondas, this was a genuinely incredible dinner. From Simon the sommelier to our waitress, people were attentive and sharp. Pappas is everything that a steakhouse should be. read more

Man, where do I even start... this was hands down an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was top-tier, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service really took it over the top. Huge shoutout to our server Phillip -- he was incredible. Super attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it all night. That kind of service really makes a difference. Also had to show love -- shoutout to VCU and his hometown for winning a March Madness game, that made the night even better! Now the food... The steak cooked medium well plus was PERFECT -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. And listen... if you go, you HAVE to get the Midnight Cake. No debate. That was the perfect way to end a birthday dinner. Overall, this is an elite spot for a celebration. If you're looking for a place to have a birthday dinner, impress someone, or just enjoy great food and service -- this is it. Highly recomm read more

What's not to love about Pappas Brothers! The best wagyu steak I've ever had has been here. It's was tender and succulent. The red wine was recommended by the chef to complement the meal and it did not disappoint. read more

Steak cooked to perfection.Great salads and professional,attentive service always make for a good meal every time.

I walked over here for desert after getting dinner at Pappas Cantina across the street. Incredibly nice restaurant. Service was superb at the bar. You can tell they were professionally trained. The ambiance was crazy high end and white table cloth. Do NOT come here unless it's a special occasion or you are rich. This is one of the nicer restaurants in Dallas. The desert was delicious. The smores cake was probably in my top 5 of all time! HUGE! The deserts are HUGGEEEE. You can share them. They have a meat case with good looking prime cuts. I will definitely be trying those next time. read more

My boyfriend whisks us away to surprise dinners and this was one of them. He made a reservation on my open table account, I don't think we needed one- there were a lot of available tables when we got there (around 8pm on a Friday). Immediate impression was the warm greetings, which continued throughout dinner service and everyone who crossed paths with us. You're treated like the most important person in the building. The hospitality is overflowing. The ambiance is nice, unfortunately I had my back to the view so I didn't really get to take in much besides a corner. (Nobody's fault except my must-face-the-door dinner date). What I walked past seemed lovely. We were fully informed about every aspect of the menu, and any questions we had were answered confidently. They have in-house Master sommeliers for wine selection (the catalogue of options was formidable). I had an old fashioned with dinner (Basil Hayden) and an espresso martini for dessert, both delicious. I ordered the grilled double lamb chops and a side of the jumbo lump crab bearnaise that goes on the lamb medallions. It was perfect. All of it. For our side (large and shareable) we ordered the creamed spinach- a recommendation from our waiter, Chase- he wasn't wrong. For anyone to whom it matters- I stopped by the ladies room on my way out and it was immaculate. All in all it was a very nice experience for no occasion and it would completely be suitable for a celebration of any sort. TLDR: Great food, amazing staff, would come back again. read more

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The lobster bisque was phenomenal, the filet with scallops was outstanding, and the cheesecake is out of this world. Everything was perfectly cooked and the service was top notch. Extensive wine list and every bourbon you can imagine. The atmosphere is classy, perfectly lit, and the noise level is surprisingly low. Impeccable attention to detail and the personal attention from the staff made this a memorable evening. Definitely one of the top steakhouses in all of DFW, arguably the best. read more

We arrived at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse on ChatGPT's recommendation, and not for a single moment did we regret it. From the moment we walked in, it was clear we were in for something special. The restaurant is beautifully designed, with a sophisticated, dimly lit atmosphere that feels both elegant and comfortable. It is quiet enough to hold a conversation without raising your voice, yet lively enough to maintain a pleasant buzz, complemented by tasteful background music. The experience began before we even reached our table. At the entrance, guests are greeted by an impressive display of premium beef cuts and a lobster tank that immediately sets expectations high. Since we had made a reservation, we were seated promptly. The restrooms were spotless, and for those who appreciate old-school luxuries, there is even a cigar selection featuring Cuban cigars. As impressive as the setting was, and as professional and attentive as the service proved, everything ultimately took a back seat to the food. ChatGPT promised a top-tier steakhouse, and Pappas Bros. absolutely delivered. We started with excellent glasses of Champagne, which were generously refilled, and then moved on to outstanding red wine. Then came the main event: two Filet Mignons, a dry-aged New York Strip, and a dry-aged Ribeye. All four steaks were cooked to perfection. The medium-plus orders arrived exactly as requested, while the medium steak displayed the ideal warm pink center. Achieving this level of precision with such large cuts requires real skill, and the kitchen deserves tremendous credit. Special recognition also goes to the aging process. The beef developed a remarkable depth of flavor, particularly the Ribeye, which delivered an almost heavenly richness. The side dishes were equally impressive. The asparagus was exceptional, perfectly cooked and not drowned in butter. The roasted wild mushrooms turned out to be an absolute delicacy and disappeared from the table within minutes. The potatoes au gratin were the only dish that left a little room for improvement. While still delicious, they could have benefited from slightly less melted cheese on top and potatoes cooked a touch less, as they were somewhat softer than what one would expect from a classic gratin. We finished with two excellent desserts. The Key Lime Pie earned high praise from those who enjoy the genre. As someone who gravitates toward chocolate, I thoroughly enjoyed the Turtle Mousse Tart, featuring chocolate mousse, salted caramel, and an Oreo crust. It was indulgently sweet without feeling overwhelmingly heavy, if such a thing is even possible. One of the evening's most memorable moments came unexpectedly. After we asked our server to take a photo of our group, she noticed we seemed to be celebrating and asked about the occasion. Since we were indeed celebrating, she graciously offered dessert on the house. It was one of those thoughtful gestures that elevate a meal into a truly memorable hospitality experience. In total, we paid approximately $668, including a 20% gratuity, for four entrées, three side dishes, six glasses of wine and Champagne, and two complimentary desserts. It was not an inexpensive evening, but we walked away feeling that every single dollar was worth it. Highly recommended. If you are looking for one of the finest steakhouse experiences in Dallas, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse more than lives up to its reputation. read more

Holy crap. I think this was the best meal of my entire life. Wait staff was incredibly good, the sommelier was very helpful and super friendly. Every food item was delicious. The octopus carpaccio was so good (very olive heavy which I love), the ribeye was perfect, super tender, fat well rendered. The onion rings are super good, but be warned they are a little spicy. The mashed potatoes were awesome, creamed spinach great. We got crème brûlée for dessert which was glorious. They also do a great espresso martini with a bit of a spin (I think they said they use a milk stout instead of kahlua?). The restaurant itself is super nice, very old school cool. One thing that was a little lackluster was the mushroom soup. Wouldn't bother with that one. But still an insanely good meal. read more

My fiance and I are steak snobs - we love going to steakhouses and cooking steak at home, and I just don't feel like this place is worth the hype at all. The menu is nothing special - and so much of it has bacon in it, which we do not eat ( beware that even the fries are cooked in bacon grease ) . We started off with the deviled eggs with lobster - and while it's yummy, it's not something worth coming here for . I did like their complimentary bread. The steaks were just ok. We both got medium well . I got a filet and my fiance got a New York strip - his came out far more charred . The mashed potatoes usually come with bacon, and once you opt out of bacon, they don't bother to season them with anything else , so they are very bland. We wanted to get the creamed spinach but that comes with bacon too lol. The best part of the meal were the roasted mushrooms . Our server was sweet - and that's the only reason they're getting 3 stars and not 2. We won't be back read more

Service is as excellent! Ambiance was excellent, old school steakhouse atmosphere. Steak was not up to level of appearance and ambience. Ordered dry aged bone in New York strip. Sadly, it was tough and chewy with way too many fat and gristle bites. Not sure if me and our friend were just unlucky, or if it was just subpar meat. I read so many good reviews that I was excited to try it. Big letdown. read more

We visited last night for Restaurant Week. They have a good menu: steakhouse or Caesar salad or turtle gumbo, a few steak options such as filet, NY strip or Riley, also salmon, and a few desserts including cheesecake and key lime pie. You can substitute lobster bisque for the soup/salad options for a $5 upcharge. Service was very good as expected. I do give them a demerit for only providing the RW menu upon request. The pacing of the courses was good and everyone was very attentive. My Caesar salad was ok but nothing special. Salmon was delicious with the burre blanc sauce and side of loaded mashed potatoes was tasty also. My key lime pie was one of the best I've had. Nice classy atmosphere but not at all stuffy. We would definitely come back to try more options. read more

Papas really surprised me. It was our first visit there. My wife took me there for Father's Day and we were expecting somewhere between Longhorn and Perry's on a bad day. Not even close to Longhorn and I put it up there with Ruth's Chris and even some of the more exclusive places like Jeff Rubys in Cincinnati. My steak melted in my mouth and those skillet potatoes could easily be paired with eggs as well. The portion sizes were more than enough for me. In fact those potatoes did go well with eggs the next morning and my leftover Waygu Strip. I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere was relaxed and not stuffy like some high end places. I believe there was a sommelier who checked every bottle of wine that was opened. All of the staff was helpful. Our server was outstanding I but I can't remember here name. read more
