Trying to track every steakhouse in Vancouver, WA might leave you dizzy. So start here instead. These are the sizzling spots with the most promise—though we can’t vouch for the ones we haven’t tasted yet. Grab your fork and be a trailblazer, or just follow our list to see which prime cuts we’ve savored and adored.
Billygan’s Roadhouse
$$ | (360) 573-2711 | WEBSITE
This is not a drill. Billygan’s Roadhouse is still serving up that hard-to-find steak after all these years. We weren’t sure if they were serious about keeping the roadhouse vibe alive when they started updating the menu. But the casual spot in Vancouver—with peanut shells crunching underfoot and that dim, bar-like atmosphere—has indeed endured. And ICYMI, the hot rolls and honey butter are back, too. It’s a good time to be a steak lover in Washington.
Sayler’s Old Country Kitchen
$$ | (503) 252-4171 | WEBSITE
The list for this steakhouse in Vancouver promises it’s one of the “10 Best Steakhouses.” We hope that’s accurate because we’ve been let down by many generic steakhouses lately. Hopefully the famous steaks and popular onion rings stand out from the rest.
Ruth’s Chris Steak House
$$$$ | (503) 221-4518 | WEBSITE
Ruth’s Chris Steak House is a classic steakhouse in Vancouver with sizzling plates used to serve prime cuts cooked to perfection. The menu also features a steak and lobster tail combo, cocktails, and wine pairings recommended by attentive servers like Raul. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, ideal for celebrating special occasions such as anniversaries and birthdays.
While the pacing can be slow at times, the overall experience, with its friendly staff and exquisite ambiance, makes it a memorable choice for a great evening out.
Laurelhurst Market
$$$ | (503) 206-3097 | WEBSITE
Laurelhurst Market feels like the love child of a classic steakhouse and a modern butcher shop. The chill-looking spot serves top-notch steaks and sides like the charcuterie board, pork chop, and those absurdly good sausages. The beef is cooked exactly as ordered, with the marinated hanger steak coming out perfectly alongside fresh vegetables. You can grab a seat on the outdoor patio where the service stays lovely and accommodating, even for last-minute walk-ins.
It’s well-priced with a super chill vibe, not too crowded, making you want to return for more.
El Gaucho Portland
$$$$ | (503) 227-8794 | WEBSITE
El Gaucho Portland is a steakhouse in Vancouver where sophistication used to be. The restaurant feels just as dimly lit as a classic steakhouse, only now with a menu of starters like crispy calamari and fresh escargot, as well as entrees like the 6oz filet and A5 wagyu. The scalloped potatoes are creamy and cheesy, and the table side Caesar salad might just redefine your opinion of a Caesar.
Live Spanish guitars add to the festive atmosphere, and the service is next-level, making guests feel like royalty. However, prices can be sky-high, especially at the bar. While some find better value elsewhere, El Gaucho Portland delivers classic steakhouse luxury with warmth and attention to detail.
RingSide Steakhouse
$$$$ | (503) 223-1513 | WEBSITE
We’ve already tried the filet mignon and prime rib from this Vancouver steakhouse and they were so good, we also added them to our Hit List. We’re excited to try the lobster mash potatoes that are impressively creamy with generous chunks of lobster.
Black Angus Steakhouse
$$ | (360) 695-1506 | WEBSITE
Just a few years ago, Black Angus Steakhouse established itself as one of Vancouver’s premier steakhouses. We can only hope the Campfire Feast and ribeye steak will taste as consistently excellent at their next anniversary celebration.
Outback Steakhouse
$$ | (360) 883-0005 | WEBSITE
We never thought we’d say this, but there might now be too many steakhouse options in Vancouver. Outback Steakhouse is the newest addition to this crowded field. The space feels clean and surprisingly spacious, with comfortable booths that don’t feel crammed together. Our server was organized and attentive, checking in just enough without hovering. The lobster mac was rich and creamy, while the steak arrived cooked exactly as requested—medium-rare with a nice sear.
At around $35 for the steak dinner, it’s priced competitively with other mid-range options. The manager even stopped by our table to ensure everything was running smoothly. While it might not reinvent the wheel, Outback delivers exactly what you’d expect from a reliable steakhouse experience.
El Gaucho Vancouver
$$$$ | (360) 583-9001 | WEBSITE
We’re genuinely impressed by this Vancouver steakhouse, which is already establishing a fresh (and much appreciated) standard for classic, expertly prepared steakhouse fare in the Pacific Northwest. Their perfectly cooked medium-rare steak, beautifully seared scallops, and delightful banana foster drink have secured them a place on our must-visit list.
Clyde’s Prime Rib Restaurant and Bar
$$ | (503) 281-9200 | WEBSITE
This long-standing restaurant has been a Vancouver favorite for decades, but none feel quite as vibrant as this weekend dinner scene. Expect classic steakhouse fare like prime rib and French dip sandwiches with lounge music creating the perfect backdrop for an enjoyable evening (or there might be more energetic tunes, it depends how late you stay).
