17 Best Steakhouses near Des Peres

“It is my daughter’s 16th birthday today and we made a reservation at their sister restaurant Bristol’s awhile back. It’s her favorite place to go because of the fried cauliflower. We got a call today and they had a fire so they couldn’t open but graciously made us a reservation at j Gilbert’s. My son got sick so I had to stay home but they called me and said they made her the fried cauliflower that she loves at Bristol’s tonight at j Gilbert’s!! My family said everyone is being so nice and definitely made my daughters night!! Thank you so much for all you did to make her 16th so special!! You guys are amazing!! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“The place was amazing. Great food and wonderful service provided by Tom. It had ambiance, something missing in many places. This had the charm and finesse that is often missed in the new LOUD places. This place was packed but still quiet and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Not cheap but well worth the money.“

Maybe it was just a bad not, but it was continuous throughout the evening, as well as waiting on our check for 15 minutes before having to ask for it.“

Tate made the birthday experience for Chris extra special… and he made sure to keep my Long Island properly filled and made sure my chocolate cake had the proper amount of ganache! Great birthday dinner! Excellent food. AMAZING service!“

“Off The Grill (Dorsett) — January Yum‑ary Pick

Off The Grill on Dorsett is one of those spots that somehow freezes time in the best way. I hadn’t been in years, but the second those sirloin tips hit the table, it was like nothing had changed — still tender, still seasoned right, still that “why don’t I come here more often” kind of good.

And the loaded potato? Listen. It’s exactly the kind of chaos I want in a side: cheese melting into butter, bacon bits piled like they’re trying to prove a point. Zero notes.

I also grabbed the chicken ranch pita, and it was so solid I didn’t even realize until after I finished it that I forgot to put the ranch on. That’s how you know the chicken is doing the heavy lifting — juicy, flavorful, no sauce required.

What did surprise me was spotting a filet mignon on the menu. Either that’s new or I was too broke back in the day to even look in that direction. Either way, I’m absolutely coming back for it. If their sirloin tips are still hitting after all these years, I’m ready to see what they do with a filet.

Verdict: Off The Grill is still Off The Grill — dependable, hearty, and quietly elite. A perfect January comfort pick.

“Just like when dad brought me as a kid, everything was delicious and the service was wonderful. Our server, Armando, could not have been more polite and helpful.

We brought our daughter and she could not have been happier- they had a perfecly sized 4oz steak just for her, she says: best steak ever, I loved it so much the potato was cheesy and creamy and amazing highly suggest the twice backed potato best restaurant experience ever!“

“I visited Longhorn for the first time last night. We came in an hour before close and Calie made us feel totally welcome and not rushed. She was so sweet and brought our salads at lightening speed. The food was amazing I can’t believe I’ve never had it, and it was reasonably priced for the large portions we received. We would definitely come back.“

“Excellent steak and good service.“
