When choosing a restaurant, many diners decide to frequent well-known eateries and even popular chains for a meal they can expect to be delicious. However, some of the best restaurants are the hidden gems and locally beloved establishments that have become a staple of their community.
Cheapism searched around the country for the "best under-the-radar steakhouse" in every state, choosing to celebrate the "chef- or family-owned steak joints" with stellar ratings and reviews over the "well-known chains" and other "usual suspects."
So which underrated Washington steakhouse stands out among the rest?
John Howie Steak
This Seattle-area restaurant, described on its website as "the Northwest's premier dining experience," was praised for its mouthwatering cuts. John Howie Steak, which has a 4.5 star rating and more than 1,500 reviews, is located at 11111 NE Street #125 in Bellevue.
Here's what Cheapism had to say about this hidden gem establishment:
"Chef-owner John Howie revised his menu during the pandemic to emphasize simple meals that offer the most value, but John Howie Steak still features USDA prime beef aged 28 days or 42 days and American, Australian, and Japanese wagyu beef. You can buy the same steaks to go, carefully packaged and partnered with the perfect seasoning and instructions."
