    A5 Wagyu
    Ronald E.

    A phenomenal meal from start to finish. The A5Wagyu is an experience that cant be described for both tenderness and flavor. We had bone-in rib-eyes which had outstanding beef taste. The Au Gratin potatoes were cheese heaven. And our service was beyond reproach and pretty much unrivaled by other top steak houses we have been to in Dallas. An overall great experience

    Service was over the top. Ambience was perfect. Food was delicious and exactly to order. I can't wait to return!

    The atmosphere was romantic. Dim lighting, excellent service, and the food was amazing. Doug was our waiter and he was very attentive! The mushrooms were so decadent. The steaks were delicious.

    I had a great time at Pappas in Dallas on a Saturday night. Service was 100% in effect and ran like a well oiled machine. I had reservations for a party of 3. Two of us were seated at a table on time and we had drinks while waiting for the 3rd person. That 3rd person arrived with 2 more guest. Without any issues, our new party of 5 was moved to a larger table to accommodate everyone. We all had a great time. We communed, joked, laughed, and ate hard, It was one of those rare moments in life worth appreciating. Everyone's food arrived correctly as ordered and was fantastic! The porterhouse was perfect with a lovely crust, pink center, and savory seasoning. It melted away as I chewed each bite. This is the kind of steak one longs for in life and will quench that carnivorous desire once consumed. There were plenty of sides for all of us to share. As strange as it may seem, the turtle gumbo stood out the most and was a winner. It came with some sherry on the side to mix in. The complex flavors after one spoon that surrounded the tongue was so stimulating. The asparagus was fresh, seasoned well, and had a snap to it. The skillet potatoes were so savory and had a flavorful crust on some of the pieces. The mashed potatoes were dense, creamy, and slightly rich. Last of all was the mushrooms which were stellar. Hats off to the staff for such a marvelous presentation and treating us superbly.

    Entrence

    We arrived at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse on ChatGPT's recommendation, and not for a single moment did we regret it. From the moment we walked in, it was clear we were in for something special. The restaurant is beautifully designed, with a sophisticated, dimly lit atmosphere that feels both elegant and comfortable. It is quiet enough to hold a conversation without raising your voice, yet lively enough to maintain a pleasant buzz, complemented by tasteful background music. The experience began before we even reached our table. At the entrance, guests are greeted by an impressive display of premium beef cuts and a lobster tank that immediately sets expectations high. Since we had made a reservation, we were seated promptly. The restrooms were spotless, and for those who appreciate old-school luxuries, there is even a cigar selection featuring Cuban cigars. As impressive as the setting was, and as professional and attentive as the service proved, everything ultimately took a back seat to the food. ChatGPT promised a top-tier steakhouse, and Pappas Bros. absolutely delivered. We started with excellent glasses of Champagne, which were generously refilled, and then moved on to outstanding red wine. Then came the main event: two Filet Mignons, a dry-aged New York Strip, and a dry-aged Ribeye. All four steaks were cooked to perfection. The medium-plus orders arrived exactly as requested, while the medium steak displayed the ideal warm pink center. Achieving this level of precision with such large cuts requires real skill, and the kitchen deserves tremendous credit. Special recognition also goes to the aging process. The beef developed a remarkable depth of flavor, particularly the Ribeye, which delivered an almost heavenly richness. The side dishes were equally impressive. The asparagus was exceptional, perfectly cooked and not drowned in butter. The roasted wild mushrooms turned out to be an absolute delicacy and disappeared from the table within minutes. The potatoes au gratin were the only dish that left a little room for improvement. While still delicious, they could have benefited from slightly less melted cheese on top and potatoes cooked a touch less, as they were somewhat softer than what one would expect from a classic gratin. We finished with two excellent desserts. The Key Lime Pie earned high praise from those who enjoy the genre. As someone who gravitates toward chocolate, I thoroughly enjoyed the Turtle Mousse Tart, featuring chocolate mousse, salted caramel, and an Oreo crust. It was indulgently sweet without feeling overwhelmingly heavy, if such a thing is even possible. One of the evening's most memorable moments came unexpectedly. After we asked our server to take a photo of our group, she noticed we seemed to be celebrating and asked about the occasion. Since we were indeed celebrating, she graciously offered dessert on the house. It was one of those thoughtful gestures that elevate a meal into a truly memorable hospitality experience. In total, we paid approximately $668, including a 20% gratuity, for four entrées, three side dishes, six glasses of wine and Champagne, and two complimentary desserts. It was not an inexpensive evening, but we walked away feeling that every single dollar was worth it. Highly recommended. If you are looking for one of the finest steakhouse experiences in Dallas, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse more than lives up to its reputation.

    This is by far one of my favorite steakhouse restaurants. The service is exceptional and the food is delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and would highly recommend. We had the lobster bisque and scallops to start the meal. The lobster bisque was a well seasoned and they add pepper to the dish table side if you want. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the flavorful juice/butter soaked into the bread. The whole dish went well together and definitely got my appetite ready. The ribeye was well marbled and cooked to a perfect medium rare. We had the onion rings, potatoes au gratin, and mushrooms. All the sides completed the meal perfectly. I would highly recommend the potatoes and mushroom sides.

    Thursday night dinner with coworkers We had a private room for our group of 17. Favorite appetizers: crab cakes - jumbo lump crab sent from heaven above. Battered and fried to perfection. Not too much breading. Meal: broiled salmon fillet. Cooked med well, nice sauce on top and 3 jumbo shrimp. Not sure why they cant have a shrimp dish at a steak house when they clearly have shrimp. I really cant eat steak. The salmon was good and filling and especially with the apps and sides. We also got sides of au gratin potatoes, lobster deviled eggs and lobster mac and cheese. I like how they deconstruct the deviled egg and allow you to fix your own. I need to go back and get more crab cakes. I could have built a meal of apps and sides too. The place was busy as it was Thursday night, service was really good.

    Man, where do I even start... this was hands down an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was top-tier, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service really took it over the top. Huge shoutout to our server Phillip -- he was incredible. Super attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it all night. That kind of service really makes a difference. Also had to show love -- shoutout to VCU and his hometown for winning a March Madness game, that made the night even better! Now the food... The steak cooked medium well plus was PERFECT -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. And listen... if you go, you HAVE to get the Midnight Cake. No debate. That was the perfect way to end a birthday dinner. Overall, this is an elite spot for a celebration. If you're looking for a place to have a birthday dinner, impress someone, or just enjoy great food and service -- this is it. Highly recomm

    Solid steakhouse! Steak cooked to perfection, great starters and drinks. Private room was spacious, arranged in 2 long tables. Attentive staff.

    A traditional classy American steakhouse never goes out of style. Everyone in Dallas is familiar with Pappas Steakhouse and there's a lot of hype around it, all for good reason. This is situated between 2 highways and a few other sister restaurants. There's valet and regular parking - walking in, it feels like a fancy and high class experience already. We were seated immediately and our waiter was quick to stop by. He was excellent and clearly has been in high class hospitality for decades. The bread they bring to the table is an entire little loaf, it's served steaming hot. Soft and airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. We skipped appetizers and had a filet, ribeye, and lobster Mac n cheese. The filet... so so so delicious. The ribeye was fantastic too. They're cooked so simply you can tell the cut of meat is truly the best quality. One of the best filets I've had. The Mac n cheese was good - not too rich or cheesy. We were celebrating so our waiter brought by dessert and let me tell you, the cheesecake could serve 4-5 people. HUGE. Very delicious though. Overall, highly recommend. Super classy, traditional steakhouse experience with excellent service.

    Pappas Bros. Steakhouse was absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived.The experience was top notch.Their Tomahawk steak is the best. Everything we ordered was excellent. Great staff, especially Scott who took amazing care of us with his excellent service and recommendations. Nice environment cozy restaurant. Definitely worth visiting.

    Filet Mignon

    A steakhouse is an American institution like no other. It's a true experience of purity and beauty of meat that has now spread around the world. Pappas, like many stories in America, is a story of immigrants. Founded by a Greek family with the first location in Houston in 1995 and expanding to Dallas in 1998, passed down from one generation to the next. Thus, this location has now a historic spot in the dining scene of Texas. It is incredibly popular and for great reasons. The filet mignon was perhaps the best out there. Flavorful and tender, cooked just right. It's a steak to remember without doubt. With a backdrop of piano music and an excellent Gigondas, this was a genuinely incredible dinner. From Simon the sommelier to our waitress, people were attentive and sharp. Pappas is everything that a steakhouse should be.

    I walked over here for desert after getting dinner at Pappas Cantina across the street. Incredibly nice restaurant. Service was superb at the bar. You can tell they were professionally trained. The ambiance was crazy high end and white table cloth. Do NOT come here unless it's a special occasion or you are rich. This is one of the nicer restaurants in Dallas. The desert was delicious. The smores cake was probably in my top 5 of all time! HUGE! The deserts are HUGGEEEE. You can share them. They have a meat case with good looking prime cuts. I will definitely be trying those next time.
