7 Steakhouses Serving the Best Filet Mignon Plates
The filet mignon is a beautifully tender little cut of steak, perfect for those who want a leaner option that is still absolutely packed with flavor. Milder in flavor and best served medium-rare to medium, this popular cut is smaller than alternatives like a ribeye or sirloin, but is every bit as filling and tasty (especially when paired with some good sides). If you want a perfectly-cooked filet with incredible texture and taste, here are seven steakhouses that won’t disappoint.
Ruth’s Chris
Ruth’s Chris has a beautiful Center-Cut Filet on the menu. “Favored by many for its melt-in-your-mouth texture, mild beef flavor and ability to pair beautifully with delicate seafood and sauces, a filet is one of the most popular cuts of beef you can find,” the restaurant says. “We add our special 28-day aging process to further its flavor and tenderness.” Those who want something indulgent can choose the 8 Oz Center Cut Filet With Blackened Scallops, a tender filet paired with three blackened scallops served atop a medley of corn and spinach.
STK
STK has both a small and medium Filet, plus a Japanese A5 Wagyu Filet for those who want something a little special. Surf and Turf options include the Filet 6oz & 3 Grilled Prawns, and the Filet 6oz & Lobster Tail. Add a topping like Jalapeño Onion Jam and you’re all set.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse diners can enjoy the Dallas Filet, which the chain describes as “our most tender steak that is lean and melts in your mouth”, and comes with two sides. There’s also a 6oz Filet 6oz & Grilled Shrimp plate perfect for those who want surf and turf: “Our most tender steak that is lean and melts in your mouth along with large shrimp seasoned, grilled, drizzled with garlic lemon pepper butter.”
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse not only has a Regular and Petite Filet Mignon, but also the very rare Bone-In Filet Mignon. “The bone on our Bone-in Filet isn’t just for show — it slows down the broiling process, which locks in a more intensified flavor, resulting in a remarkably tender texture and savory profile,” the restaurant says. “It’s rare to find this bone-in cut in everyday dining, and we’re proud to provide a uniquely distinctive steak experience for our guests to discover. ”
The Capital Grille
The Capital Grille has some truly special filet mignon plates on the menu, like the Sliced Filet Mignon with Cipollini Onions, Wild Mushrooms and Fig Essence: Hand-carved by an in-house butcher, accompanied by a blend of shiitake, porcini and cremini mushrooms and finished with 15-year aged balsamic.
LongHorn Steakhouse
LongHorn Steakhouse has some excellent Filet Mignon plates on the menu, like the 6 oz. Flo’s Filet with 4 oz. Lobster Tail, which it calls the best of turf & surf on one plate. “Our signature 6 oz. center-cut Flo’s Filet® is seared to lock in the classic buttery flavor and paired with a seasoned cold-water lobster tail and melted butter,” the chain says.
Morton’s The Steakhouse
Morton’s The Steakhouse has 8 and 12 oz. Filet Mignons on the menu, plus a 10 oz. Wagyu Filet Mignon. Surf and Turf lovers will appreciate the Filet Mignon & Lobster Tail combo, including a Center-Cut Filet & Cold-Water Tail.
