Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille: Clear Lake Steaks

There's no shortage of steakhouses in Texas, so it takes a lot of effort to stand out from the crowd. Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille manages it with a focus on high-quality ingredients and excellent service. Since opening in 1993, they’ve won raves from diners and press alike, and one meal here might make you a fan.

Start your dining experience with one of their famous appetizers – the prime beef carpaccio is a tremendous take on the rich flavors of beef, and the iced seafood tower is a lavish take on a steakhouse classic. Of course, the real draw here is the expertly-seared steak, and it won’t disappoint. Some cuts that come highly recommended include the bone-in New York strip and the filet mignon. But, surprisingly, their most famous dish isn’t beef at all, but pork. Perry’s signature pork chop is cured, roasted, slow-smoked and caramelized before being carved tableside. It earns big praise from regular diners.
