What's the deal with Michigan's "Top Steak"? | Restaurant Guide

Total cost for 2 people: $260 ⭐️ 5-Star Must-Orders (Don’t Leave Without These!) These dishes are why Morton’s remains a go-to for steak lovers—rich, well-cooked, and full of flavor: 22 oz Bone-in Ribeye (Medium): 🥩 Huge portion, perfectly tender! We ordered it medium-rare (a classic for ribeye), and the meat was pink, juicy, and packed with bold beef flavor. The bone infuses extra savoriness, and even with two people, we had leftovers—great for a post-dinner snack. It’s a splurge, but 100% worth it for quality steak. Lamb Chops: 🐑 Absolute showstopper—order this! The lamb was cooked to perfection: tender, not gamey, with a slight crisp on the outside. Every bite was juicy and flavorful, with no dryness at all. It’s easily one of the best lamb chop dishes I’ve had at a chain steakhouse—non-negotiable if you love lamb. Scallops with Bacon: 🦞 The scallops were a little chewy (likely because the bacon adds extra heat during cooking), but the accompanying sauce turns this into a winner! It’s creamy, savory, and cuts through the richness of the bacon, while the scallops’ natural sweetness still shines. Skip it if you hate chewy seafood, but try it for the sauce alone. 🥤 Drinks & Sides: Classic Steakhouse Complements Tequila Sunrise: 🍹 A bright, fruity cocktail that balances the heaviness of the steak and lamb. It’s not overly strong, with a nice mix of tequila, orange juice, and grenadine—refreshing and easy to sip. Truffle Fries: 🍟 Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and tossed with just the right amount of truffle oil and parmesan. They’re a classic steakhouse side—simple, but always satisfying, and great for sharing. ❌ Hard Pass: Raspberry Cream Dessert Do not waste your money on the raspberry cream dessert—it’s terrible! The cream was overly sweet, the raspberries lacked freshness, and the texture was grainy. It’s a total letdown after a great meal—skip desserts here altogether, or opt for something simpler like cheesecake (if available). 📝 Final Thought: Food Shines, Service Doesn’t The food at Troy’s Morton’s is great—no complaints about the steaks, lamb, or sides. But the service was underwhelming compared to Chicago’s locations; the staff (mostly older servers) were polite but not attentive, and the overall “special occasion” vibe felt lacking. If you’re here for the food (and not top-tier service), it’s a good choice—but don’t expect the same polished experience as bigger cities. #UniversityOfMichiganAnnArbor #MichiganFood #MichiganEats #TroyMichiganDining #SteakhouseLovers #DetroitAreaFood #MichiganLife #FineDiningMichigan
