When it comes to great steakhouses, there’s one city in Mississippi that’s a cut above the rest – and it’s Ridgeland. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Ridgeland has actually been deemed the Steak Capital of Mississippi. Home to some incredible steakhouses, the city definitely raises the steaks as far as incredible cuts of beef are concerned. Take a look:
One of the state’s “most decorated cities,” Ridgeland has received numerous accolades over the years, including the Steak Capital of Mississippi.
Deserving of the recognition, Ridgeland has more steakhouses than any other city in the state. Not only are the steakhouses plentiful in Ridgeland, they’re rave-worthy, too, at least according to food critics. In the past, CNN, Business Insider, and Men’s Journal have deemed Ridgeland steaks among the best in the state and, in some cases, the nation. Now, let’s take a look at some of the city’s best steakhouses.
Hearty portions and live music are trademarks of this longtime favorite, which has been a Ridgeland staple for about 30 years. Delicious steaks, including fabulous prime ribs and filet medallions, are also among Kathryn’s tantalizing traits.
As the Steak Capital of Mississippi, it’s fitting that Ridgeland is home to Doe’s Eat Place, a Mississippi-borne franchise that can be found in various cities and states. The award-winning steakhouse is known for its 2-inch thick steaks, which are cut fresh daily and then cooked to perfection on a 1,000-degree+ grill. Not sure which cut to order? Go with the porterhouse, which Men’s Journal named "the best thing to eat in America."
Boasting a modern interior and luxe atmosphere, Ely’s Restaurant and Bar is perfect for those seeking a top-notch steak in a setting to match. Praised by national organizations like Business Insider and MSN, the eatery’s menu features a variety of cuts – some of which are only enhanced with toppings, such as Creole barbeque butter and shrimp.
If you’re craving an award-winning steak in a laidback atmosphere, Tico’s Steakhouse is for you! Since opening over 30 years ago, the restaurant’s steak selection has only gotten better, and today, includes everything from filets to rib-eyes to porterhouses.
The steaks at Koestler Prime are bursting with flavor, and it’s all thanks to the restaurant’s signature seasoning. It’s not just the savory seasoning that’ll please steak lovers, though. There’s also the array of topping options, which includes everything from typical toppings to not-so-typical ones, such as broiled sea scallops with dill cream.
At MM Shapley’s, the secret to savory steaks is the restaurant’s signature reduction sauce, which is drizzled on every steak, delivering a punch of flavor and one tender piece of meat. And if that’s not enough to get your mouth watering, the variety of succulent toppings, which includes lump crabmeat, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts, should do the trick.
