Lived here all my life. At one point del rancho had the best served on a platter or sandwich. Nancy's had its time, and so did chuck house. Cattleman's serves a home style steak done on a flat top not unlike my granny's cast iron recipe. Charlestons is very decent for a consistent chain all around the metro. Beverly's 24hr diner still makes a passable handmade steak, the only diner I'm aware of that doesnt use a frozen substitute. But the heavyweight champion is cheevers. Has been for years. Jalapeno gravy on 1 steak for lunch, 2 for dinner, over redskin mash. Killer. And now I'm hungry....
