These Are The 5 Largest Steaks You Can Order At Steakhouse Chains

Sometimes, when you want to really go all out, you need the biggest steak you can find. Steak was the signature dish at Delmonico's, the first fine-dining restaurant in the United States. The Delmonico Steak was developed in 1850, which means the tradition of steak and fine dining dates back almost 200 years. Since then, steak has been synonymous with dining out, celebrations, and treating yourself to a nicer meal than your everyday fare. 

Many steaks, such as filet mignon, chateaubriand, and baseball, are traditionally served in relatively small portions. But ribeye, porterhouse, and tomahawk steaks can sometimes be over 10 times their size. Some of these enormous steaks are meant to be shared, but they don't have to be. No one is stopping you from trying to tackle one of these meat mountains alone.

Major steakhouse chains don't typically offer un-eatably large meat, but some serve truly enormous cuts. We searched the menus of popular steakhouse chains to find their biggest steaks. Some, including Smith & Wollensky's 44-ounce Swinging Tomahawk Ribeye, didn't make the list because those chains don't have enough locations to meet our criteria. We settled on five massive cuts from steakhouse chains with at least a dozen locations that are sure to satisfy any beef craving you have.

Tomahawk steaks vary in size because each one is cut from an individual rib. Since individual ribs vary in size, tomahawk steaks are often sold by weight within a range rather than at one fixed weight. STK Steakhouse offers the biggest steak you'll find on a chain restaurant menu, clocking in at a staggering 2.8 to 3.3 pounds. That works out to 44.8 ounces to 52.8 ounces. No other chain can beat that at the high end of the scale, but it's worth knowing that an individual steak could weigh about half a pound less, depending on what's available the day you order.

STK's Carrara Tomahawk is part of the chain's fall menu, so it may not be available all year round. It's Australian Wagyu, a good alternative to Japanese, and STK recommends booking early because of that limited availability. The price is not on the published menu online, but since there is a 34-ounce dry-aged tomahawk steak for $168, expect the Carrara tomahawk to be more. Unofficial sources claim it's about $149 per pound, meaning a 3.3-pound tomahawk could cost nearly $500.

Carrara Wagyu has been called the best Wagyu outside of Japan. The Australian cattle come from Japanese bloodlines, and the marbling is exceptional. Some vendors online sell single four-ounce Carrara Wagyu filets for $60 each, so STK's tomahawk, while not cheap, is in line with similar prices for this type of beef.

Mastro's has over two dozen locations across nine states and Washington, D.C., with more locations scheduled to open soon. This restaurant offers a fine dining experience, and prices reflect that. Mastro's also offers a large selection of dishes, so there's something for every taste, including those who want to experience a truly massive steak with the 48-ounce double cut porterhouse. For something slightly smaller yet still visually stunning, the chain has a 40-ounce Australian Wagyu tomahawk steak as well.

Unfortunately for porterhouse fans, the availability of the 48-ounce version is limited. You can find it on the dinner menu at the New York location for $220, but none of the other locations currently list it on their menus. Older, third-party menus list it at California locations, so it may be worth calling ahead to see if any location that doesn't list it currently offers it, just in case. 

Some reviews indicate the steak comes pre-sliced and contains more than enough meat for two, while one review said it could easily feed three or four diners. Other reviews indicate you can get the steak whole, and it's been described as being about two inches thick. The steak also doesn't come with any sides, unlike some other chains. If you want a full meal, sides will cost extra. 

The tomahawk steak has wider availability, but the price goes up because it's made with Australian Wagyu beef. The 40-ounce tomahawk in New York costs $275.

Ruth's Chris Steak House offers the second-largest non-tomahawk steak among the major chains that met our criteria. Cut from the short loin, the 40-ounce Porterhouse for Two combines filet on one side of the bone with New York strip on the other, essentially giving you two different cuts in one steak. When we ranked steakhouse chain porterhouse steaks, it placed highly on the list.

The restaurant also offers a tomahawk that could potentially be larger, but it could also be smaller. Ruth's Chris' website lists the tomahawk at 30 to 45 ounces. That range is too broad to give us a consistent weight, but it's worth knowing about because the tomahawk could be larger than the 40-ounce porterhouse. Thanks to a fixed weight listed on the menu, it's easier to identify the porterhouse as one of the largest steaks available. Of course, just because the menu says 40 ounces doesn't mean you get 40 ounces of meat, since the weight includes the large bone running between the two cuts.

Morton's the Steakhouse offers a 36-ounce porterhouse, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse offers a 24-ounce porterhouse, and Longhorn Steakhouse's porterhouse clocks in at just 22 ounces. Ruth's Chris has gone all out to give you one of the biggest porterhouses anywhere, and at about $125, depending on location, it comes at a premium price.

Morton's The Steakhouse offers a 36-ounce tomahawk ribeye steak for the table, meaning it's meant to be shared. It costs about $150 at many locations, but there is little information about what you get for that price published on the chain's website . A review from Tripadvisor indicates you also get two salads, two sides, and two butters with your order. The menu for the White Plains, New York Morton's confirms that the tomahawk for the table comes with two signature sides, but the Las Vegas menu does not mention this.

There is a separate Tomahawk for Two Dinner that can be ordered as a limited-time special from Morton's. It's not on the menu year-round, but it comes back frequently. In fact, it was available in 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023.  This dinner features the same 36-ounce tomahawk steak along with one soup or salad starter per guest. 

One thing worth noting is that Morton's does not give many details about the beef used in its tomahawk steaks. While the menu specifically identifies some of its steaks as Prime, the tomahawk is listed separately and not referred to as Prime. The restaurant does give you the calorie count for the steak, and at 2,370 calories, you can get some appreciation for just how big 36 ounces truly is.

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar is the upscale sister chain to Outback Steakhouse. Both chains are run by the same company, but Fleming's offers a higher-end experience for diners. The 35-ounce tomahawk steak is one example of the kind of premium dining experience the chain offers. The price ranges from $129 to $150 depending on location, and is similar to what you'd pay at other chains for a steak of the same size and quality.

Fleming's describes its Prime tomahawk steak as being "highly marbled" and says it's ideal for sharing. It's featured on the regular menu, but the chain also offers a Tomahawk Tuesday deal for $159 to $170, similar to the meal from Morton's. Also called the Tomahawk Tuesday 3-Course Menu for Two, it includes a 35-ounce tomahawk ribeye or a 34-ounce porterhouse served with a choice of béarnaise, smoked chili, or herbed horseradish butter. It also comes with two salads, two sides, and two desserts.

The tomahawk steaks from Fleming's are aged and then frenched, which means the bone is scraped and cleaned up to look nice. The meat is seasoned with salt and pepper and then broiled at 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Once cooked to order, it's transferred to a 350-degree plate to rest before being finished with butter and then brought tableside. The restaurant recommends cooking it to medium-rare or medium due to the size and marbling.
