College station steak house? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

Does college station have any good steak houses, or should I just go to the Leona general store ?

kenner27 · 01-13-2020, 08:57 PM

Leona, no doubt!

LarryP_1989 · 01-13-2020, 09:08 PM

Christopher’s World Grille has a pretty good steak.

RockTippedStick · 01-13-2020, 09:08 PM

Republic

Shelbers · 01-13-2020, 09:14 PM

Go straight to Leona! Unless you go to the Republic but Leona is better! And it’s BYOB!

Christopher’s and Republic are both solid. Had a dang good steak at Christopher’s right before Christmas.

Pony1971 · 01-13-2020, 09:45 PM

Has anyone tried Porters?

ejj005 · 01-13-2020, 09:54 PM

I heard Porter’s wasn’t good but it’s hard to tell from the person I heard it from. I like Republic more than Christopher’s. If you like Brazilian style Casa Do Brasil is really good.

The republic. Chicken fried fillet mignon. Do it.

Also, get the calamari

Its hard to beat Leona. Ive never been out to eat in College Station. This weekend I was going to take my wife out somewhere so I thought we would try something new. May try christopher's or republics, or may go back to leona.

solocam_aggie · 01-13-2020, 10:13 PM

It's not super fancy, high end, but Sodolaks in both Bryan and Snook make a heck of a good steak.

If you go to the nightmare get the Tijuana fries with bacon on them. You won’t regret it

I used to eat there all the time. Good food but I can be a no frills kinda guy.

Porters and Christopher’s are both really good

Go to Phillips event center at the golf course in bryan and get the chicken fried steak. Best one in town

IceX4 · 01-14-2020, 12:12 AM

I agree. Leona’s will not disappoint. It can produce a decent wait time, but is BYOB so go prepared to stay hydrated for the wait.

IceX4 · 01-14-2020, 12:15 AM

Porters is alright, but the the Republic has better food, service and atmosphere.

Stins · 01-14-2020, 08:16 AM

Go to The Repulic and thank me latter. Its amazing!

it is, and everything on the menu is outstanding.

deerwatcher51 · 01-14-2020, 08:45 AM

Republic gets my vote.

catslayer · 01-14-2020, 09:01 AM

Republic is solid but $$$ I was underwhelmed for the money, that is b&b or del Frisco's money and both are better than republic

There are your standard chains like outback and Roadhouse... But the Roadhouse there was the worst one I have been too when I was there (2011-2012). The outback was ACTUALLY one of the best (but thats a low bar haha)

Hogmauler · 01-14-2020, 09:18 AM

Salt grass is right there by tower point.

jhuddleston · 01-14-2020, 09:37 AM

Depends on budget, Republic is great but pricey as is Christopher's.

Sodolaks is a good option if your not wanting to spend a ton of money, so is Longhorn Tavern.

Some new places in Downtown Bryan as well, not sure on steak but lots of good eats down there.....

Man, I love me some B&B , del Frisco and Brenners while at home. But at the ranch we always cook. I was just trying to find something to do for the evening since won’t have the kiddo. May try the republic

pure lefty · 01-14-2020, 10:18 AM

Leona is very good, I can see parking lot from my folks yard. A hidden gem is The Legends on the square in Madisonville, open bar, best customer service I’ve seen. On Friday night in Madisonville also on town square is Walkers Cafe, only open for breakfast and lunch except Friday when it’s all you can eat catfish and shrimp. Three red eye burger is a meal by itself.

I can second this. Living in Bedias, we hit Legends pretty often. Leona's is superior in my opinion but its twice the distance from the house.

rut-ro · 01-14-2020, 11:20 AM

Our ranch is in Normangee so everything mentioned is about the same

mfarmer · 01-14-2020, 11:28 AM

Ate at Republic Saturday evening. Bone-In Ribeye was not very good. Meat quality was sub-par for a $58 steak. Lobster bisque was super salty. Crab cake appetizer was good. $300 for my wife and I and was pretty disappointed in the food- and I don't mind paying when the food is worth it. Atmosphere was great. There were 6 in our party and all felt the same.

The Republic is a nice joint, as is Christopher's. The Republic has a really good whiskey bar if you're into a stellar glass.

Yeah it's been awhile since I've been to BCS area since ATM carpet bagged to SEC.

That place had some cold beer and some decent food back in the day. I closed that place down in 2002 after Tech came back and won at Kyle Field...that day I knew Wes Welker was destined for greatness. What a game and **** I'm old...

I had the best steak of my life at the republic. It was their akuiashi ny strip. Went 2 weeks ago for a friends birthday looking forward to having this again. They were out. Got the bone in ribeye as that was the waiters recommendation and I was disappointed for the money. Shouldve gotten the pork chop. But the crab cakes were incredible. Still enjoyed it and would recommend it if they get the akuiashi back in stock

PecanBayouRat · 01-15-2020, 10:51 AM

Republic is where I'd go for steak & whiskey.

Porter's has improved tremendously since it first opened. When it first opened, it was pretty underwhelming, especially at that price point.

Pretty sure someone in our party tried to order the akuiashi strip and they were out Saturday also... If I recall correctly that is the only cut labeled Prime on their menu, which in hindsight was a giveaway of what I ordered and received.

Heard Republic was awesome. I see you are in CS, so I would take her word on Leona.

I know it isn't popular opinion, but don't waste your time on Sodolaks, I was very disappointed in the steaks. However everything else was great, first place I had Fried Bacon, oh my!

It went out of business about 1999.

Go to Leona, you'll be disappointed anywhere else.

Dusty Britches · 01-15-2020, 03:50 PM

Leona is a long drive when you asked about College Station. Try Casa do Brazille.

Personally, I cook my steaks at home. It is a lot cheaper.

Sodolaks is decent but the service sucks so it just makes everything horrible. Unless you go to the original sodolaks in Snook then it may be worth it
