We love a good steak. Especially these days, when a classic dinner out can easily cost a small fortune. Yet, in Gilbert, AZ, plenty of steakhouses still deliver that perfect sear, prime cuts, and timeless ambiance without demanding a second mortgage. Here are the spots where every bite feels worth it.
Black Angus Steakhouse
$$ | (480) 855-9449 | WEBSITE
You have to request the low-lit dining area to capture that elegant atmosphere, which suits us perfectly. We’ll gladly settle into a booth for perfectly cooked New York Strip and $18 martinis. And if your steak dinner (or excellent value) leaves you feeling satisfied, then your next move should be a victory lap with the friendly staff, particularly Kalissa, who provides that old-fashioned great service.
Texas Roadhouse
$$ | (480) 988-1414 | WEBSITE
“Plentiful” is a fitting word for this welcoming and family-friendly Gilbert steakhouse. So, yes, Texas Roadhouse offers ample parking, but who worries about finding a spot when you can get flavorful ribeyes and delicious deviled eggs for just $25?
LongHorn Steakhouse
$$ | (480) 461-0790 | WEBSITE
Steakhouses are plentiful in Gilbert, but LongHorn Steakhouse stands out for anyone craving a classic Western lodge atmosphere and reliable steakhouse fare. Unfortunately, the loaded baked potato sometimes arrives a bit sparse on toppings. But you can enjoy wonderfully seasoned sirloins, perfectly cooked lamb chops, and creamy baked potatoes when you visit during regular hours.
Frashers Tavern
$$$ | (480) 429-9545 | WEBSITE
We love when happy hour deals extend through the whole week because some of us (we’re raising our hands) work weekends. Pop into Frashers Tavern—a hidden gem in old town Scottsdale—any day of the week for $9 cocktails and small bites like toasted raviolis for $10.
Outback Steakhouse
$$ | (480) 491-6064 | WEBSITE
Outback Steakhouse’s lunch menu is damn-near-unbeatable at this family-friendly steakhouse in Gilbert. So take advantage of the value with ribs for $12 and steak for $14. Plus, the service from Felicia and Monica is always amazing.
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
$$ | (480) 912-8970 | WEBSITE
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill’s expertly prepared seafood and generous portions earned it a spot on our 10 Best Steakhouses in Gilbert list. The popular destination offers “fancy date night” every evening with $28 sea bass with pilaf and a $34 salmon salad (accompanied by great bread, of course) and wine pairing.
Elliott’s Steakhouse
$$$$ | (480) 474-4155 | WEBSITE
This steakhouse in downtown Chandler has a vaudeville old fashioned for $14 and a juicy pork chop for $28. Plus, Elliott’s Steakhouse offers a few other notable dishes like short ribs with pasta and seafood pasta for under $30. This is already one of our favorite spots for a quiet dinner, so the excellent service is just an added bonus.
Cholla Prime Steakhouse & Lounge
$$$ | (480) 850-7736 | WEBSITE
Cholla Prime is the perfect casino escape to indulge in some prime cuts and unwind with a sophisticated lounge vibe. Head to this upscale steakhouse to take advantage of $58 ribeye steaks and $42 filet mignon with rich garlic mushroom sauce. The Caesar salad starts at $16, while sides like potatoes au gratin run about $12 each. The dim lighting and leather banquettes create an intimate atmosphere that feels both luxurious and relaxed.
Despite the occasional service hiccup, the generous portions and delicious sauces make it worth navigating through the casino to find this hidden gem.
The Peppermill: Steakhouse and Cocktail
$$$ | (480) 590-6755 | WEBSITE
Cozy charm meets Phoenix warmth at this Gilbert steakhouse that feels like a well-kept secret. The Peppermill’s better-than-average steak dishes are straightforward in a way that we appreciate. Swing by for the fantastic hanger steak with peppercorn glaze and a perfectly made martini from the top-notch bar.
Charleston’s Restaurant
$$ | (480) 635-9500 | WEBSITE
This one is for the steak enthusiasts. Charleston’s Restaurant is a classic steakhouse in Gilbert, and they serve up generous portions like the prime rib steak and Dynamite Shrimp with their consistently excellent service.
