6 Chain Restaurants With Bigger Tomahawk Steaks Than Any Other Chains

Evidence-Based
These 6 chains serve massive tomahawk steaks that steal the show.

Sometimes, only the biggest, most attention-grabbing steak will get the job done. In this case, order a tomahawk, which Ruth’s Chris explains is “essentially a ribeye beef steak specifically cut with at least five inches of rib bone left intact. The extra-long, french trimmed bone utilizes the same culinary technique that shapes a rack of lamb.” The result is a steak that “resembles a Native American tomahawk axe,” which is basically a bone-in ribeye. Where can you get the biggest and best tomahawk steaks? Here are 6 chain restaurants with bigger tomahawk steaks than any other chains.

Sometimes they offer a limited-time Dinner for Two complete with your choice of salad, two signature sauces or butters, and two sides to share. But the 36-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye is usually on the menu for $149 (2370 cal.)

Our Prime Tomahawk steak is a superior, highly marbled cut of beef that delivers on all fronts: flavor, presentation, tenderness, size, and value. Heads will turn (including yours) when you order our Tomahawk ribeye,” the restaurant states. “It really doesn’t get much better than our Prime Tomahawk steak,” says Christian Hallowell, Corporate Executive Chef, Fleming’s..
