From prime rib dips to filet-topped hoagies, these chains are famous.

A delicious steak sandwich, whether from an upscale steakhouse or a drive-thru guilty pleasure, is always a good idea. When you’re craving steak but need the extra carbs from freshly-baked bread, a savory, protein-packed steak sandwich is ideal, especially from restaurants that don’t skimp on the meat. Thinly sliced red meat, vegetables, cheese, and the perfect amount of sauce is the foundation for an excellent sandwich or sub: Here are five chain restaurants famous for serving up steak sandwiches absolutely packed with quality ingredients.

Delicious!” one enthusiastic diner shared.

Served with fries. Mine was rare, picture attached. My wife’s was medium rare. Wow just wow!!! The absolute best steak sandwich we have had in South Florida & what a bargain at $20 ($17 during happy hour Sun – Thurs). The steak was well seasoned and super tender. Amazing seasoned fries as well.”
