So chuck out on some fine dinner party attire and manoeuver out to one of these country spots that specialize in tasty cutting off , luxe interiors , and , of course , a must - have steakhouse martini .

Stockyard

This Brighton landmark has fed the carnivorous masses for close to half a century now — and yet the oversize signage out front still chevvy a giddy chemical reaction . Is it the throwback charms of the space , fireplace , sinister - Mrs. Henry Wood paneling , antique signage , and all ? Or is it the fact that the four master steak slice can be topped — sorry , “ crowned”—with the likes of lobster Oscar or jumbo baked shrimp ? All we know is that when we pull in up to the characterless brick exterior , we have to stop ourselves from trotting in to unite all the onetime - timer in yet another celebratory meat repast .

Rare Steakhouse

A steakhouse inside a casino could not be more Rat Pack - y , and Rare invites that level of saturnalia .

Grill 23 & Bar

The metropolis ’s paleo patriarch has been giving us our daily protein for near to four decades now , and it is n’t even close to slowing down . This position is disbursement accounting cardinal , with mahogany walls , giant marble column , and three - anatomy Wagyu strip - loin kicking off the menu ( just think of all the backroom byplay mint that have been made over this dish ) . The a la carte cut are the headliner here , with the 100 - day - aged ribeye and the Kobe detonator steak being the star of the star . If you ’re not willing to pay more for dinner party than you ante up for your monthly heating bill , check out the cake menu , which includes a special bar Warren Burger .

Boston Chops

Brian Piccini and Chris Coombs took over a cursed South End restaurant quad and turned it into a must - try name and address . The steak frites menu is everything you could want from life : beak your cut ( hanger , striptease , annulus ) , sauce ( bearnaise , bordelaise , chimichurri butter ) , then bask in the glorification of the bottomless fry bowl that comes to the mesa . All the desired chophouse accoutrements are here , too , from huitre and popovers to roast osseous tissue marrow and a slant tugboat of onion plant ring that simply must be ordered for the tabular array .

Mooo….

The name is a fiddling unnerving , but otherwise this stead is paleo heaven . There are no less than 13 different steak option on the carte du jour , all served with pearl centre butter and roasted garlic . Want a small breaker with your turf ? tote up on some jumbo shrimp . Want to really go all out ? prefer for the 6 - ounce , $ 185 Nipponese Wagyu sirloin , and top it with some seared Hudson Valley foie gras .

Abe & Louie’s

This Back Bay institution is so entrenched , you almost take it for granted — until you hunger a gluttonous celebration and beeline it to Boylston Street . There is no reinvention of the bike here , but rather a celebration of chophouse classics like prime Midwestern steak maturate at least 30 days on the off-white accompanied by creamed spinach plant , sauteed mushroom , and jumbo baked potatoes served in a staid , grim - woodwind instrument empanel mount . you could even lure out a pescatarian for an evening , given that the swordfish steak is the eating house ’s unofficial theme song smasher .

The Bancroft

How is it that one of the field ’s most exciting steakhouse open up all the way out in Burlington ? Whatever the why and how , the cavernous suburban eating house has since cement its reputation as a forward-looking steakhouse that ’s worth the campaign . The delectation is in the details : business firm - made flavored saltiness that season the cuts ; a hatchet steak presented tableside , then brought back to the kitchen for carving ; polenta cake shaped like trivial cows that attach to each steak . Bancroft ’s modern iron and looking glass interior decoration is a bracing roundabout way from the stock moody woodwind instrument and brass , and both the cocktail and vino programs demand you delegate someone else to drive base .

Gibbet Hill Grill

OK , so , the Angus cows you ’ll encounter range around this Groton eating house are n’t actually dinner , but Gibbet Hill Grill ’s farm set underscore the freshness of the menu . Most of the eating house ’s green goods is sourced from the farm itself — and it ’s one of the only restaurant in New England that has a produce farm on site . Located inside a revamped b , the restaurant is down - homey in its aesthetical , but the carte du jour itself is surprisingly sophisticated , yet comparatively affordable . Steak cuts let in a bone - in costa - middle and a 48 - oz. hall porter , and all come with two farm - fresh side . Do n’t get around the cocktail program , which also contain a mess of the farm ’s seasonal output . How to reserve : Make a reservation viawebsite

Bogie’s Place

A steakhouse speakeasy is about as cool as it gets in Boston , and this little surprisal is tucked insidejm Curley , one of the metropolis ’s greatest bars . Only the tiniest of signs point you to a curtained doorway in the back of the barroom . Beyond that burgundy pall is a small , dreamy steakhouse just 18 seats strong doling out classical cocktails like Ward 8s and Gallic 75s , caviar overhaul , a submarine salad , and amazingly affordable steak cuts , deck with the likes of osseous tissue center and foie gras butter . If you ’re looking to instill , Bogie ’s is your meal ticket .
