Charco Broiler Steak House, Dallas

Located in downtown Oak Cliff, this 50-year-old steakhouse will take you back to another time and place. Charco Broiler Steak House is the type of restaurant that locals have been returning to for decades, often with their parents and grandparents coming along for the memories. The impossible-to-miss Sonny the Steer reigns supreme on the roof of Charco Broiler Steak House, touting the fair prices and the restaurant’s impressive variety of steak cuts. Inside, the eatery is draped in shades of brown, with simple lighting and wooden accents that only add to the timelessness of a steakhouse like this. The chicken fried steak smothered in country gravy is a perpetual top seller at Charco Broiler, and dinner plates always emerge from the kitchen with a side salad, baked potato and thick slice of Texas toast, which is just the way it always should be.
