Top 10 Steakhouses in New York City: A Manhattan and Brooklyn Guide

How we selected and ordered this list

Marrow Publishing selected these ten locations for their steak-focused menus, different dining formats and geographic spread. We checked official location, menu and booking information. The six restaurants already in Marrow’s national Top 100 appear first, preserving their relative order; four additional city selections follow. Local positions do not assign new national ranks.

Suggestions about which occasion a restaurant suits are editorial judgments based on those sources. This is a research-led booking guide, with no claim of dining visits, kitchen testing or customer ratings. The scope is New York City: nine Manhattan locations and one in Brooklyn, excluding suburban branches.

1. COTE Korean Steakhouse — Flatiron

At 16 West 22nd Street, COTE combines Korean barbecue with the American steakhouse format. Its Flatiron page describes grills built into the tables and beef aged on site. Consider it when the group wants the grilling experience to be part of dinner. Book the Flatiron restaurant specifically; COTE also lists a separate Madison Avenue location. The Flatiron page provides dinner-menu and Resy links.

2. Keens Steakhouse — Herald Square

Keens is at 72 West 36th Street. Its dinner menu lists New York sirloin, T-bone, filet and porterhouse for two or three, giving diners a useful choice between individual and shared cuts. The restaurant’s history dates its opening to 1885. Compare it for a Midtown meal built around traditional steakhouse ordering, and use the reservation link or phone number on its official site.

3. Peter Luger Steak House — Williamsburg, Brooklyn

The Brooklyn restaurant at 178 Broadway is the location covered here. Peter Luger describes its beef as USDA Prime and dry-aged on site; its locations page separates Brooklyn reservations from Great Neck and other branches. Plan payment before arriving: the official site says the Brooklyn dining room does not accept ordinary credit cards, while listing cash, US debit cards and other specified options. Check that policy directly when booking.

4. Gallaghers Steakhouse — Theater District

Gallaghers’ New York location is at 228 West 52nd Street. Its menu explicitly describes steaks grilled over hickory logs and includes porterhouse intended for sharing. That cooking method offers a clear point of comparison with other traditional rooms. The location makes it worth considering alongside a Broadway evening, but tell the restaurant your curtain time and confirm that your reservation leaves enough time to eat.

5. Carne Mare — Seaport

Carne Mare is at Pier 17, 89 South Street. Its Italian chophouse menu includes individual steaks, dry-aged sharing cuts and a Gorgonzola-cured Wagyu striploin. Consider it when the table wants to compare a familiar cut with a more distinctive preparation. Check the menu for your particular service: the restaurant publishes separate meal periods, and a lunch choice should not be assumed to appear at dinner.

6. Old Homestead Steakhouse — Meatpacking District

Old Homestead’s official site identifies its Meatpacking District location and highlights sirloin, porterhouse and filet mignon among its beef offerings. It is a useful comparison for diners seeking a conventional steakhouse menu on the west side of downtown Manhattan. Follow its own reservation page and check current opening days before arranging the rest of the evening.

7. Delmonico’s — Financial District

At 56 Beaver Street, Delmonico’s centers its story and menu on the signature Delmonico ribeye. Consider this option when dinner needs to fit a Lower Manhattan itinerary. Its official location page supplies booking guidance and a smart-casual dress policy; review both before arriving. Use the current website’s reservation button rather than assuming that an older booking-platform link is still the preferred route.

8. Hawksmoor — Gramercy

Hawksmoor’s New York restaurant is at 109 East 22nd Street. Its official page features a steak flight combining two Wagyu strips, a ribeye and a filet, designed for comparison at the table. That makes it an option for a group interested in trying different beef selections together. Confirm the flight’s current availability and serving details through the linked menu or restaurant before making it the centerpiece of your plans.

9. Bowery Meat Company — East Village

Bowery Meat Company lists its address as 9 East 1st Street and describes a menu built around dry-aged beef, chops and large-format roasts, alongside dishes such as duck lasagna. Consider it for a downtown group whose interests extend beyond individual steaks. Its official page provides a menu and Resy booking link; ask about portions before ordering several shared dishes.

10. 4 Charles Prime Rib — West Village

At 4 Charles Street, this restaurant offers roast prime rib in several cuts alongside filet, ribeye and strip steaks. That distinction matters: choose it for the roast-beef format if that is what you want, or compare its steak section separately. The official site describes a West Village brownstone setting and provides its booking route. Read the reservation terms before confirming.

Three decisions before you reserve

If cut names are the sticking point, our steak-cut guide explains the basic differences. Comparing ribeye and New York strip can also help your group agree on what to order.

• Match the neighborhood to the rest of your evening, including travel to Brooklyn if choosing Peter Luger.
• Decide whether everyone wants an individual steak or a shared cut, roast or flight. Ask about portions and available substitutions.
• Read the restaurant’s current menu and reservation terms for your date. Confirm payment rules, dietary needs and any time constraints directly.
