Really Good Porterhouse Steak

[EssOne]

We went for our Anniversary Dinner yesterday to the Alamo Steakhouse and Saloon, 3050 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, and I had an outstanding 20 oz. Porterhouse steak. The Alamo specializes in Angus beef cooked over an oak fire, and the guy doing the cooking really knows what he's doing. The Porterhouse is a hard steak to find and they had really good ones. So if you're in playtown.................FWIW

I like Outback's Porter House, they are very consistent at every restaurant I visit.

We've only eaten at the Alamo once but look forward to when we get to go back... I left a 100.00 bill on the table for me and the wife but we were very full and happy on leaving....

Those are challenging to cook.  I like a filet rare, but a strip medium rare just to tenderize all the tissue a bit.  Getting the strip side cooked enough without overcooking the filet side is beyond me.

Will give them a try next time we are up that way.  Thanks for the suggestion!  "Good" dining can be surprisingly hard to find in that area.

Any restaurants have a good porterhouse that are not posted?

The Alamo restaurant above wasn't posted. Or did you just mean Outback restaurants?

We tried the Alamo several months back. It was not that good, just avg. May have been a bad night. We like Peddler in Gatlinberg. but it is expensive.

That's good to hear, it was posted for a long time up until recently.

My wife and I both checked it carefully when we went in and it definitely wasn't posted. Now there are a couple of Alamo steak houses in that neck of the woods. The one I'm talking about is at 3050 the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Are we talking about the same Place?

Thanks for the review. I am usually a ribeye guy, but I love a good Porterhouse.

Doe's eat place in Paducah, KY has a Porterhouse for two that is pretty awesome. Definitely check it out if you are ever there.
