5 Steakhouses With the Best Surf and Turf Plates
Surf and turf may be retro, but it never goes out of style—what could be better than steak combined with fish, shrimp, crab, or lobster? These delicious combos are perfect for diners who want the best of both worlds: Rich, savory beef and sweet, briny, tender shellfish. Many restaurants and steakhouses offer both items a la carte, but some go one step further and have excellent steak and seafood combos on the menu. Here are five chains with the best surf and turf plates.
LongHorn Steakhouse
LongHorn Steakhouse has several surf and turf options, like the 6 oz. Renegade Sirloin with 8 ct. Redrock Grilled Shrimp (Red Rock Grilled Shrimp, glazed with smoky tomato butter and served over rice) and the 6 oz. Flo’s Filet with 4 oz. Lobster Tail (a signature seared filet paired with a seasoned cold-water lobster tail and melted butter). The Wild West Shrimp is also a popular appetizer, made from fried shrimp tossed with spicy cherry peppers and garlic butter.
