Since the OP asked for regional, Longhorns is my choice. Texas Roadhouse is ok, just not great. Logan's, nah, I'll just go to McDonalds. Was at a company dinner one night there, HR guy orders a rack of ribs. They were cold. He tells the waitress. Her response, I kid you not "Well I don't know why, I just pulled them out of the microwave".
Ruth's Chris is good, was at one 3 weekends ago with wife. The quality of the food is not equal to the bill though.
Hard to beat buying prime steaks from my buddy's butcher shop and cooking over chunk charcoal.
Since we turned this international-the best steakhouse (and it is a chain, in Mexico) https://www.laestanciaargentina.com/ in Leon, Mexico. I worked there for a year, and we would eat there at least twice a week. It was a half mile walk back to the hotel, and that was always a walk in misery from eating too much. Rib-eye cap is the best cut of meat to get.
