My favorite steak joint is Arthur's in Morris Plains. They sell one kind of steak only (not sure what the cut is called, but whatever it is it's a little fatty around the edges but oh-so-flavorful) in two sizes, gigantic and ridiculously gigantic, with a side of homefried potatoes and all the coleslaw & pickles you can eat. Very reasonably priced, too -- maybe $15 bucks for the gigantic-sized portion. They also have other things on the menu, but I can never bring myself to order anything other than the steak, and of course an order of garlic bread, and a wedge of iceberg letture with tomatoes, vinegarette dressing, and fresh crumbled bleu cheese. My mouth is watering even as I type!

Yep, check out the 24 oz. Delmonico at Scotty's. It is probably their best cut. How do you like your steak cooked? Medium rare here. Also ask for the pickled green tomatoes along with the pickles and slaw. |

Medium rare. I like the baked potatos at Scotty's -- never undercooked. An under cooked potato ruins my whole meal! |

IMHO, the best steak place is a newly-opened restaurant on Route 10 in the Westminster Hotel (formerly a dumpy Holiday Inn) called The Strip House. Food, service and decor are fabulous. Don't miss it!
Here's the Zagat comments: 550 W. Mount Pleasant Ave. (bet. Daven Ave. & Microlab Rd.) Livingston, NJ, 07039 (973) 548-0050
Sophistication and steaks marry at this beef-eaters’ palace imported from Manhattan to Livingston by restaurateurs Penny and Peter Glazier and their chef David Walzog; there’s a French accent (read: truffled cream spinach and foie gras torchon) on the haute-cuisine menu, a cocktail lounge where the world-weary revive and glam shots of Jersey-born celebs and burlesque stars throughout the ruby-red interior.

Where is the nearest Ruth's Kris? Somewhere up in Bergen County? And, if I'm not mistaken, Peter Luger's is in Brooklyn? Or another NY borough? How about "around here" as Ignatius asked?
I've tried Scotty's twice and was disappointed both times. Charlie Brown's has become a little too hit or miss for me lately, altho the prices are reasonable and the salad bar is halfway decent. There's a place on Morris Ave in Springfield that is okay but nothing more. Outback in Springfield (just off Rte 22) is also okay. (But they do a nice job with grilled shrimp.)
I've been meaning to try Arthur's but I'm rarely out that way. Time for a special trip I guess.
I'm also wondering about the Portugese and Spanish places in the Ironbound section of Newark. I usually go for seafood there but I'm guessing they know how to handle beef as well? Like Zeabra's near the PAC? (Not in Ironbound but not far either.)

There is also a Ruth's Chris in Parsippany in the Hilton on Rte 10. It is right past the 287 bridge on the right.

We find that Lone Star Grill on Rt. 22 (Mountainside?) is similar to Outback Steakhouse in its menu offerings and less pricey. They also have a "kids eat free" promotion much of the time which definitely reduces our final bill. |

Me-em! Now you got me drooling all over myself! Thanks, anyway, for the link!
Ronzio, I'll definitely have to check out A Taste of Portugal. Your name reminded me of the rodizio gluttonies I've enjoyed/suffered at Zeabra's.

Cathy,
(Pasted from website)
Ribeye At Ruth's Chris, Ribeyes only come one way - USDA Prime. This is a tasty and tender steak, cut from the blade roast that lies next to the ribs. Lots of connective tissue, which melts during cooking, gives the meat intense flavor, with the most marbling (fat distributed throughout meat - an indication of tenderness and flavor) of all the prime cuts. We offer both a 16 oz. Ribeye or a hefty 22-oz. bone-in Cowboy Ribeye.
Filet The most tender beef on our menu, Filets are cut thick from the tenderloin, the strip of the short loin that lies next to the bone. We serve only USDA choice or prime, depending on availability. Our Filets weigh in at 12 oz. We also offer a smaller but equally tender 8 oz. Petite Filet.
NY Strip This USDA Prime Sirloin Strip is firmer than a Ribeye with a full-bodied taste. Our servings are 16 oz. of pure flavor.
T-Bone This classic cut of U.S.D.A. prime beef, from the mid section of the short loin, is really two steaks in one - the New York Strip and the Filet, joined by the famous "T" and served on the bone for added flavor. It's the best of both steaks - full, rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Porterhouse for Two The name derives from the dark beer, porter, that was served alongside this steak in old-time alehouses. Similar to a T-Bone, the Porterhouse is cut from the rear of the short loin and consists of both the tenderloin and sirloin tip. It's an impressive cut of USDA Prime beef. At 40 oz., we recommend sharing!
I know what I'm having tonight!
