Morton’s Steakhouse is a national chain of traditional American steakhouses that originated in Chicago in 1978.
Morton’s was the successful collaboration between Arnie Morton and Klaus Fritsch who worked together as the front-of-house management and dinner cook in a Montreal supper club.
Today, Morton’s Steakhouse has 65 locations, including Sacramento’s classy downtown space overlooking Capitol Mall.
Morton’s serves USDA Prime Beef and the freshest seafood in a classic multi-course steakhouse format.
My favorite steak at Morton’s Steakhouse is the prime porterhouse, which I upgraded with black truffle butter.
They also have some of my favorite side dishes, like baked corn souffle and sour cream mashed potatoes.

The building was once home to an early 20th-century supper club, and Arthur Henry’s founders restored the abandoned building to its original glory, with many black-and-white photographs on display.
You can enjoy live music with drinks and dinner from Thursday through Sunday in the cozy, old-fashioned lounge.
Their cocktails are as unique as the dining experience.
I ordered The Black Pearl, with red wine, rum, cranberry honey, cayenne, pineapple, and citrus.
The small steakhouse menu features a short list of high-quality steak dinners that come with house-made garlic bread and salad.
I went for the classic Top Sirloin, which was delicious and very affordable.

Executive Chef Alexis Gutierrez serves an elegant menu of modern twists on traditional steakhouse dishes using sustainable ingredients.
Along with locally sourced beef and produce, Dawson’s Steakhouse also sources its wine list from California’s famous Napa Valley.
Each dish on the menu offers a recommended wine pairing.
I found Dawson’s Steakhouse menu to be the most creative steakhouse menu in Sacramento.
I started with their roasted red pepper deviled eggs with arugula pesto and slow-roasted tomato.
My favorite main dish was the Pan Roasted Chicken with green beans, maitake mushrooms, cipollini onions, and goat cheese polenta cakes.

They broil their steaks at 500 degrees, serving each USDA Prime cut of beef on a sizzling platter.

The king of affordable, family-friendly steakhouses, Sizzler is a California-native steakhouse chain that opened in 1958.
Del and Helen Johnson opened the first Sizzler in Culver City as Sizzler Family Steak House,” offering fine steaks, an all-you-can-eat salad bar, and world-famous cheese toast and rolls.
The format remains the same over 60 years later.
Sizzler has two locations in the northern Sacramento suburbs of Carmichael and Natomas Park.
I’m a sucker for salad bars, and Sizzler has the best and freshest salad bar I’ve encountered.
I could’ve made a meal out of the cheese toast and salad alone.
My favorite steak dinner was the steak and unlimited crispy shrimp combo.
