"Every visit to Pappas Bros. is a reminder of what a classic steakhouse should be. Friendly greetings and firm handshakes, leather seating and dim lighting, and a maniacal obsession with meat—it’s all butchered and dry-aged in house. The resulting steaks are simple and beefy in the best way, seasoned with just salt and pepper and finished with butter. The bar is well-stocked with whiskeys, and its famously lengthy wine list has nearly 4,000 distinct labels, so there’s always something new to drink. Save yourself some reading, and ask the sommelier to recommend a bottle that goes beyond the usual suspects." - kevin gray

"I was struck that Pappas Bros. Steakhouse’s head sommelier, Steven McDonald, earned the Michelin Guide’s Sommelier Award in 2024 for his repertoire and vast knowledge overseeing the restaurant’s three massive wine lists at one of Texas’s most lauded steakhouses; McDonald’s path to wine is notable too — he originally wanted to be in music and worked as a school band director before moving to New York City, entering hospitality with his brothers, starting as a server, and then focusing on wine." - Eater Staff
"Mentioned as a surprising inclusion by some attendees — "I was also surprised to see a steakhouse in the mix!" — illustrating that the Michelin selections generated both expected winners and unexpected choices." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Beloved by many diners (we read your Facebook comments), Pappas Bros. Steakhouse remains a crowd favorite and is on the Restaurant Week list for good reason." - Courtney E. Smith
