I'm with you. I'm not sure they have the absolute best steaks, but for the price you pay I don't think you can beat them. I'm a Texan and we eat there once a month, minimum.
If price is no object, I recommend a Brazilian steakhouse. I went to one in Addison, Texas called Texas de Brazil. If you've never been to one of these places, I'll describe it for you. You walk in and are seated. The waiter asks you what you want to drink. There is no menu - you get the all-you-can-eat. That consists of a great salad bar with stuff like brie cheese and smoked salmon, as well as regular salad bar stuff and soups.
The schtick is that you get a little cardboard disc. One side is red with the word "no" on it and the other side, green with "sim" on it (Portuguese for "yes" and "no.") When you turn your disc over to green, you get swarmed by waiters carrying these skewers with all kinds of meat on them. Some are skewered whole, like the filets, and others are sliced off at your tableside. When you've gotten all you want, turn the card over and they go away.
Once I turned my card over and a guy came by with some filet cuts. I got some, and another guy comes over and says "I've got filet." I said I already had some and his response was, "Mine's wrapped in bacon." So I had both.
It costs about $50 per person but for a guy that likes medium rare meat, perfectly seasoned, and a lot of it, it's probably worth it.
