Evidence-Based
These steakhouse chains serve massive porterhouse steaks built for sharing and serious steak lovers.

A porterhouse steak is a steakhouse delicacy. It’s basically the steak lover’s steak: a large, tender Filet mignon on one side and a tasty, more marbled New York Strip on the other. Not every steakhouse serves the expensive, luxurious cut of meat, which is usually on the expensive side and sized for two. Here are 7 steakhouse chains known for oversized porterhouse plates.
