Best steak was a small place in one of the Dallas airport terminals called Mr. B's.......................genuine mesquite open grill with fabulous meat & Louis VIII for an after dinner brandy.
I was travelling to Monterrey MX on a regular basis & would overnight at the airport & fly into Monterrey next morning. Place is no longer there anymore.
Smith & Wolensky in Chicago is also a contender but the mesquite grill adds enough to get the nod.
For prime rib, there is a place in St. Louis called Kris's & the meat is fabulous & big...............lived there for 3 years & went there often. They are still there.
But I also have to mention Lawry's in Chicago (now closed) which had really great prime rib as well with more atmosphere than Kris's.
