Food Fight: What's Your Favorite Steak Place in West County?
Don't worry: We'll get to fish fries after you have a chance to try some out this year. But until then, where do you go for great steak?
T-Bone or tenderloin? New York Strip or London Broil? When you want steak, where do you go?
This week, we're interested in your favorite West County spots for steak. Every week on the West County Food Fight, we're looking the best places to dine and drink. This week, we want your top nominations for great grilled beef.
Here's how the Food Fight works:
- Each week, we'll ask a question about your favorites.
- We invite you to post your nominations in the comments below.
- We hope you'll also spread the word about this every week to your friends on Facebook or Twitter and get them involved.
- Submit comments until 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Then:
- We'll take the top nominees and post an article first thing Thursday morning.
- That article will include a poll highlighting the top nominees.
- You vote till Friday at 5 p.m.
- On Saturday, we announce the winner.
So where's your favorite spot for steak in West County?
So show your hometown pride and pick a place near you. Boast about that small family restaurant or other great eatery in your neighborhood.
And, if you are pulling for a certain restaurant, share this column on your personal Facebook page and Twitter feed and ask your followers to vote.

Stoney River has the best Steaks! Their filet is to die for and their ribeye is great too. I would compare to Flemings or Ruth Chris.

Thanks everyone for the nomination of Hawthorne Inn. We've got that nomination. That isn't in West County, which is what the focus on this Food Fight is, but I know readers will still appreciate the advice! Thanks again!

Just jumping on the band wagon.... Hawthorne Inn bar none... If you are fortunate enough to find yourself there on an evening when they have the steak special with the crumbled Goganzola cheese... Treat yourself, it is decadent but worth every bite!

What kind of food fight has rules? Lol. Hawthorne Inn IS the best in Franklin county with no vote required. I'd drive the extra 5 minutes to save 20 bucks.
