It’s true — Americans love their steak.
All across the country, restaurants serve it charred, medium, well-done, rare, and tartare to salivating customers. It comes with an incredible variety of sides, from creamy mashed potatoes to buttered string beans and corn bread.
It’s a dish that reaches across American diversity, binding us together through a common love of red meat.
We teamed up with Foursquare to create a list of the top-rated steakhouses in every state and Washington, DC, based on explicit ratings, visit popularity, and tip sentiment by users of the city-guide app.
