And not only is Arlington a fantastic place to catch a game, but it’s also a fantastic place to feast. These steakhouses deliver perfection within city limits—so use this guide whenever you’re craving red meat. Just don’t skip the sides.
Logan’s Roadhouse
$ | (817) 590-0261 | WEBSITE
Logan’s Roadhouse is a steakhouse serving lunch and dinner—which is one reason we already have plans to spend every evening at this spot in Arlington. The other is the fact that this place offers consistently praised meatloaf and steaks cooked to order.
They’re doing feel-good American classics, from freshly made rolls and baked potatoes to chicken tenders and perfectly grilled cuts, and serving in a lively-and-booth-heavy space that looks like a roadhouse crossed with a casual, well-lit dining room. Expect this place to be the backdrop for group events, especially since it has a clean and secure parking area.
Cut & Bourbon
$$$ | (682) 277-4950 | WEBSITE
Cut & Bourbon is situated in Arlington and is the destination for steakhouse classics that are rich, satisfying, and just really damn impressive. The best move is coming here for a special occasion, and starting this lively dinner with the crab cakes (a dish we’d get tattooed on our left rib). They’re served with a creamy sauce, and showcase the restaurant’s greatest hits—filet mignon, mushrooms, and that highly praised carrot cake.
Outback Steakhouse
$$ | (817) 557-5959 | WEBSITE
If you only make one good decision today, let it be ordering the Bloomin’ Onion at Outback Steakhouse. A second good decision: pairing it with a refreshing watermelon margarita. The Arlington steakhouse is a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner, and has other great dishes like the filet, lobster tail, and ahi tuna. The friendly and professional staff provide attentive service, checking to ensure everything is good in the clean, welcoming environment.
While the Alfredo sauce and potato soup received mixed reviews, customers consistently praise the fantastic, fresh food and helpful service.
Saltgrass Steak House
$$ | (817) 417-7171 | WEBSITE
What makes Saltgrass Steak House special? Let us count the ways. First, their steaks come perfectly cooked to temperature, the ideal foundation for all the delicious sides—like the mouthwatering Maudeen’s filet finished with a rich peppercorn sauce and the grilled shrimp paired with a tangy lemon butter. Then there’s the carrot cake, which is layered like a tower and frosted, making each bite perfectly moist.
When you sit in the cozy dining room or order to-go (they also have accessible seating), you can feel the attentive service happening throughout the restaurant from staff like Josh and Travis.
Vault Seafood & Steakhouse
$$$ | (817) 512-8100 | WEBSITE
Vault Seafood & Steakhouse has been around for years and is instantly recognizable by the intimate, date-night atmosphere that greets you inside. The restaurant does really good steaks and seafood that are made with quality ingredients, have nicely prepared presentations, and come in generous portions.
The steakhouse serves other things too, like strong drinks, decadent desserts such as Crème brûlée, and exceptional dishes including the highly-recommended Lobster and Shrimp Thermidor, Ribeye, and Seafood Lobster Pasta.
Sweetie Pie’s Ribeyes
$$ | (817) 428-3773 | WEBSITE
The Fort Worth spot feels like a relaxed steakhouse with cozy booths and warm lighting. It’s an ideal setting to appreciate perfectly cooked filets, seared steaks with amazing crust, chicken fried steaks, and other hearty dishes served with classic sides. Their versions are pretty straightforward (there isn’t any molecular gastronomy or truffle shavings in sight) but also comforting, so you’ll find squash casserole alongside the meaty mains.
The casualness here is part of its appeal, and why this place is well-suited for group dinners and special nights out. One option is to order appetizers like fried mushrooms a la carte, but we prefer making life easy and going with one of the complete meals like the 4oz filet with mashed potatoes and wedge salad ($28-$42).
Aspen Creek Grill
$ | (972) 986-7770 | WEBSITE
No matter what day or what mood you’re in, stopping by this Arlington steakhouse is an absolute must—especially if you’re craving the sirloin special on Mondays or the spicy chicken salad any day of the week (they’re open for lunch and dinner daily). And don’t forget the fried cheesecake—it’s on another level.
Mercury Chophouse – Arlington
$$$ | (817) 381-1157 | WEBSITE
If you’ve ever considered celebrating a special occasion with a truly memorable meal, you’ll be a fan of the signature cigar sauce from Mercury Chophouse, a fine dining steakhouse perched on the 9th floor. The rich, savory sauce is made with what tastes like a chef’s secret blend of spices and herbs. It’s served with their phenomenal steak—which is thicker and more perfectly cooked than most you’ll find in Arlington. Steak is seasoned with care and grilled until juicy and flavorful.
It’s then presented on a plate with that cigar sauce, beautifully presented sides, and (optional) amazing bread pudding, creating a classy and relaxing setting.
Texas Roadhouse
$$ | (972) 206-0860 | WEBSITE
If you’ve been in Arlington for more than five minutes, you know Texas Roadhouse. The steakhouse exists in multiple locations across town, like this bustling one off the main strip. The menu is basically the same reliable hearty dishes as the other spots, including the very good T-bone steak, the popular 16oz top sirloin, and their iconic snake rattle bites. This one has the same welcoming, efficient, and attentive staff.
So come here to enjoy succulent shrimp or a fresh roll before settling into the kid-friendly atmosphere with your family.

$$ | (214) 960-3756 | WEBSITE
Heading to LongHorn Steakhouse in Arlington is like walking into your favorite neighborhood spot and settling in for a hearty meal—but instead of casual fare, you’re getting a proper steakhouse experience. LongHorn offers a standout lunch deal with their 14oz ribeye and loaded baked potato for just $24.99.
