The 2018 results will do little to quell the rivalries and allegiances that swirl around the age-old debate over who serves the best steak in Dayton. Several other steakhouses in town — The Oakwood Club, Carvers Steaks & Chops, Paragon Supper Club, Buckhorn Tavern and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar among them — have their enthusiastic supporters.
