Why Capital Grille holds the top spot as our favorite chain steakhouse
BY AMANDA BERRIL
We compared large steakhouses with over 30 locations, sifted through reviews online, and spoke with patrons to narrow down the best steakhouse chains in the U.S.
The Capital Grille is famous for dry aging its steaks for 18 to 24 days, which is something not many chain steakhouses can prioritize or even accomplish.
What makes a dry-aged steak so unique is the incredible depth of flavor that's achieved after the excess moisture has slowly evaporated from the beef.
A robust wine list and generously sized side dishes round out the steakhouse experience, and we loved the flourless chocolate espresso cake to finish on a sweet note.
In addition to exceptional service and high-quality meats, the Capital Grille prides itself on creating a comfortable, sophisticated environment.
You won't find thoughtful details like these at other chain steakhouses, making dining at one of the more than 70 locations of The Capital Grille well worth the higher price tag.
