The food experts at Taste of Home have put together at tally of the best steakhouses in America. Taste of Home is known for their recipes, which are sent in from people all over the country and world, but they also look at restaurants. “There’s nothing more satisfying than a grilling juicy steak—except when that cut is expertly prepared by one of the chefs at the best steakhouse in your state,” they note.

Where did the concept of the steakhouse begin? According to Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster, “The steakhouse began as the chophouse in the U.K. Chophouses started to appear in London in the 1690s as restaurants where individual portions of meat, or chops, were served to patrons. Originally, these chophouses catered only to men and their purpose was to serve a meal that was hot and quick to local workers.” While steakhouses originated in London, according to Christner’s, they are obviously popular in the States today.
So, which Michigan steakhouse topped the tally? It’s Prime + Proper, which is located at 1145 Griswold Street right in the heart of Detroit’s downtown area. The experts at Taste of Home say this steakhouse is “all about the details,” adding that, “the art deco-inspired decor is impeccable, the wine menu is expansive and every steak is matchless.” The also say that Prime + Proper’s in-house butcher selects and cuts every steak and chop that comes to where you’re sitting, which is lovely. “If sitting down to a big dinner isn’t for you, enjoy a seat at the bar, enjoy the view of the park and check out the restaurant’s Proper Hour menu full of smaller scale dishes like petite ribeye filets, shrimp cocktail and a Wagyu beef hot dog,” they add.
