Best Steak Restaurants in Allen

It was good to see our server, Jay, again. It’s like dining with and old friend who always makes you feel welcome and comfortable. I like a filet or a NY strip but tonight Jay recommended the Wagyu Bone In Kansas City Strip and I’m glad he did. It was the best tasting steak that I’ve had in a long time. It was cooked (MR) and seasoned perfectly. It truly melted in your mouth. I had to forgo most of my potato so that I could finish that 18oz beast. It has now set the standard. My wife had a salad and a filet both of which were prepared perfectly. The highlights of the evening were Jay and that Wagyu. WOW!!

There’s a reason Fogo is a Dallas founded (first geography in the US) icon. It is an amazing establishment that meets all your lofty expectations of a place like this. The Legacy West location and details in one of their flagship restaurants under their HQ is amazing. The city lights and amazing LVMH/Richemont/Kering brands line the steet with glitsy window displays. Prices are currently $64/person for Market Table and open churrasqueira). The food is excellent which meets expectations at that price point and the aura of Fogo. I’d pick Fogo over most other standard steakhouse in Dallas. There are lots of inspired upstart Brazilian Steakhouses building on the laurels of the founding team at Fogo (no thanks to Bain Capital). You’re paying about 10–15% more than other similar places. So just know you can get equally good food for slightly less in a more modest venue. Just be aware you’re paying for the name, their expensive real estate in Legacy, and Private equity returns (owned by Bain Capital). Nonetheless - I love its Dallas origins and what that founding team have done and sold/exited their amazing concept. I’d encourage folks to check out Fogo in addition to others like 12 cuts.

Our waiter Brian has made the experience one to remember. From his recommendations to personality, he made sure to be honest with his feedback from our questions to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Also, we came specially on this night to see/hear the band Mahogany Trio. They’re the best to do it in this environment playing a variety of genres of music that will surely have you smiling, singing along, and two stepping by around the bar (lol). We will definitely be back.

From start to finish all was excellent. We arrive a bit early for our 5:30 reservation and were seated right away. The menu was very good for my wife and I. Perry's has a special selection for those over 65. $39 per person with a good selection of the three courses. Their bread was warm and tasty. The Lobster Bisque was exceptionally good. The cup was more than enough with a nice chunk of Lobster in it. The filet for my wife was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. The steak came on a hot plate. My Fried shrimp was excellent on top of a large mound of French fries. The three sauces that were served with the fries added to the flavors. We added on the Asparagus as an additional side. Deserts were Creme Brule and Cheesecake. My wife opted for a glass of Perry's house Rose - perfect match for her steak. The restaurant was nicely laid out. The wine racks were over 10 feet high and contained many bottles of their finest wines. We were served by Katlyn. A beautiful young lady that was very attentive to our needs. Thank you Perry's for a wonderful pre Valentines dinner. Worth it - YES. We'll be back. Tom

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Haywire Plano. We came on a Tuesday and was surprised to how busy it was, but that was no concern as we had reservations in place and we're seated pretty swiftly. For our starter we had the mini Elk tacos which were pretty good. For the main course I ordered the 18oz Angus Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye with a side of the White cheddar havarti mac&cheese and Tallow fries. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. My wife ordered the Texas farm raised red fish which came with jumbo lump crab&rock shrimp, spicy lemon zydeco sauce, whipped potatoes and a frisée citrus salad. Per my wife it was an amazing meal. When we go back I'll be trying the 33oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye.
