Best WDW Steak?

My brother, & DH both want a really good steak when we go this year. Since I would eat anything else but a steak, I am lost. Any suggestions?

I have heard from some friends that the Yachtsman Steakhouse was even better than LeCellier. And it is probably easier to plan around since you don't need to consider park admission for YS. Let us know what you decide and how it is!!

I heard nothing but good things from DH about the meat at the Yachtsman Steakhouse.

I would agree with the other posts... Yachtsman Steakhouse sounds delish! I've never been but plan on it in June. The best steak that i've had in WDW was at Coral Reef, with the filet at Kona Cafe a close second. Shula's Steakhouse is also very good, i've never eaten at the one in WDW but have dined at Shula's here at home. It's expensive but very good!

As far as the best steak goes, I definately give it up for Yachtman's. I can vouch for the seafood appetizer and the cheese plate as well!
My Husband's choice would be the Kobe beef at Victoria and Albert's.....talk about melting in your mouth.
As for Le Cellier, for us it had always been good in the past but on our last visit my filet was tough and overcooked! I sent it back and got a much more rare steak but still very tough. I love it there so I am hoping it was a fluke!

We ate at Yachtsmans last week. I had the filet and my husband had the porterhouse and both were just about perfect!

What a great question. Up until Oct I would have agree with everyone who is stating that Yatchsman was the best, however, in Oct my family and I tried the Kona Cafe for the very first time. OH MY GOD!!! We all had different varieties of steak and every one of them was excellent!! I enjoyed Yatchsman, but it was VERY expensive. I feel that Kona was better and less expensive. Also, they have lots of different things besides steak. I will say that my mom had a fish of some kind and it was great also. I would suggest Kona Cafe.

The best steak we've ever had in the 'World (and trust me, I think we've tried a steak at just about every TS!) was definitely at the Yachtsman. We ate there for the first time this Dec. DH & friend Joey had the Australian Wagyu - the steak expert there assured us it was even better quality beef than Japanese Kobe...and he was not kidding!

If it weren't for the sharp knives on the table, I would've been able to steal DH's steak for myself! I had the NY strip and it was so amazingly cooked that I couldn't believe I was even eating steak - it tasted more like manna from heaven.
