Bob's is elite! When in Nashville I like Jeff Ruby's.
Beef n Bottle is old school. Like going back in time. Great service and food. Still a lot of the old timers go and some have standing reservations on the same night and time every week. Kind of like Wednesday night church.
When I venture over to meet people in Charlotte these are my favorite steak places: Steak 48, Capital Grille, Dean's, BLT, Eddie V's, Dressler's, Beef n Bottle. Some folks like Del Frisco's, Ruth Chris at South Park (not the one in Uptown), The Palm, Morton's. I was a Sullivan's (in South End) fan but they still use the pandemic as a reason certain items are not on the menu and service not up to the old days.
The person waiting on you and their teammates can make a good meal real good. Bad service is a killer. Steak 48 for me is top shelf on service.
