Value wise Nick's is very good. Their steak sandwich is as good as many top sirloins at average steakhouses.

Other than that - tons of great places in Calgary - Saltlick, Hy's, Ceasers.

The Keg though is horrible.

Caesars (either location), then Hy's. For atmosphere too.

Wasn't too impressed with Vintage.

Red Carpet at Glenmore/Elbow can be good sometimes, sometimes not.

Not far behind, and decent value, was Cattle Baron down in Sundance.

Agreed on the Keg being below average at best.

Wellingtons does a nice steak.

KEG steak suck if you ask me. terrible bang for buck.

the single best steak is at the Cactus Club. Cajun rolled steak with Creole Butter. I have eaten in many places and frankly I have never had a better steak, never mind its under $20.00.

Seriously, not a single mention in this thread, you guys are missing out. Great cut, great flavour, hot chicks.

Caesars for me

The Reef and Beef in the NE use to grill a mean steak. They still have $3.95 steak sandwiches in the lounge same price since 89 and they also make the best Caesars

For best price/quality I would have to say Bootleggars 2 for 1 Saturdays. Sounds cheesy but the steaks are suprisingly good

Does Misty's still serve up the steak sandwich at lunch

I found that Cactus Club has great food in general. I'm always surprised every time I go there how good the menu is. Definitely underrated.

I agree about Reef and Beef.....they make a great steak, very reasonably priced as well...went there 2x this week!!

Not really in town, but I like Cattlejacks in High River--jsut a plain ol medium steak done well, and reasonable!

Japanese Village! Ah-so!

Delicious. I know Jordon is also a fan. And they have supported Flames radio forever.

Weird that no one has mentioned Outback...
Steaks are so good there...

CalgaryGirl4Evr · 03-05-2006, 09:46 AM

Reef N' Beef, Carvers and Cattle Baron (Pepper Shrimp Rib Eye)

Oh, and my husband BBQ's a mean rib eye from Costco

Marinate the steaks overnight with olive oil, minced garlic and steak salt. BBQ to rare, and serve with a peppercorn sauce (red wine, red onion, and green peppercorns). Superb.

a true steak connoisseur might say that if you need to marinate your meat, its probably not that good to begin with.
