Experience AZ is a bi-annual guide to the best places to eat, play, stay and visit when living in Arizona or traveling to Arizona. Here are 10 Arizona steakhouses to try, as featured in Experience AZ.
DC Steakhouse
Things to know: Downtown Chandler (DC) Steakhouse stands out as a leading steakhouse restaurant, bubbling with rave reviews of delightful dining experiences. Patrons love the always-great food, with standouts of tender, juicy, and flavorful filets and perfectly cooked steaks. Beyond steaks, the restaurant serves a wide variety of excellent appetizers and even a claims-to-be-must-try lemon chicken. DC Steakhouse clearly stands as a beloved dining landmark, famous for its top-notch steak and seafood offerings and exceptional service.
Don’t miss: Having worked for family-run restaurants his entire life, Wisconsin native Dean Laplant opened Downtown Chandler Steak House in October 2010 with the goal of bringing families and friends together over terrific food, superb wine and impeccable service. Laplant brings that meat-and-potatoes midwestern experience to DC Steakhouse. When you order any entree from the menu, you always get bread, a salad and your choice of potatoes (thin french fries, pepper sweet potato fries or a loaded baked potato). Plus, all of DC Steakhouse steaks are served with savory sautéed mushrooms.
