I'm from Illinois and my wife and I fancy a dim-lit, black and white picture clad, redbrick walled Chicago style steakhouse from time to time. If you like the liberty of throwing peanut shells on the floor; this is not your place. But for me, going to a place like Morton's once in a blue-moon as apposed to our frequent patronage to Texas Roadhouse is like going to Chris Madrid's versus McDonald's. Don't get me wrong I love peanut-shell-on-floor ""TEXAS Steakhouses"", they are great. I met my wife in Texas Roadhouse for crying out loud. Saltgrass is great too. But when you feel like you're ready to take it to the WOL (Whole Other Level) (from SNL) Maybe its time for a Bone-In-""Chicago-style""-Ribeye. (the meat closest to the bone has the most flavor) This is the closest thing I think you're going to find to Harry Carey's or a Chicago steak experience in Texas.
Pros: Charlie (server) was the ipotome of hospitality
Cons: I can't afford to eat there everyday
