Perry's Steakhouse aims to be cut above

Perry’s Steakhouse offers hundreds of wines, researched to complement the menu perfectly, including rare vintages and Perry’s own private-label reserves to pair with its specialty items, such as Perry's Chateaubriand, pictured here.

From the tableside carving of its signature Pork Chop and Chateaubriand to the preparation of flaming desserts, including the popular Nutty d’Angelo, Perry's has much to offer. Perry’s began as a butcher shop in 1979 and features dishes that hearken back to its roots, as well as updated twists on old classics. There’s a piano bar with live entertainment and private dining rooms for special events.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND: Perry’s is known for its USDA prime steaks, butchered in-house and cut fresh to order, but it is truly famous for its pork chop, a recipe perfected over three decades by the Perry family.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: “Beyond the long-standing passion for great food and service, Perry’s delivers a comfortable, casually elegant and contemporary atmosphere perfect for every occasion, from Friday business lunch to casual weeknight get-togethers, to special intimate dinners, to family celebrations.” --Lauren McKechnie of Marion, Montgomery Inc.
