Byrd & Baldwin Bros Steakhouse · Norfolk
Byrd & Baldwin Bros. occupies a restored century-old Italianate building in downtown Norfolk, where the brick-walled rooms upstairs and down set the tone for an old-school chophouse. Coastal Virginia Magazine named it a 2024 Culinary Awards winner for its premium chops, fine-dining service and deep wine list. Order a dry-aged ribeye or filet with the classic sides, start with oysters or crab cakes, and save room if the scallops with bone-marrow butter are on.
Aberdeen Barn Steakhouse · Virginia Beach
Aberdeen Barn is a candle-and-timber steakhouse in Virginia Beach that Coastal Virginia Magazine's readers voted Overall Gold for fine dining and Gold for steak on the Southside. It trades in the slow-dining, special-occasion mode, with tableside touches and a long-running kitchen. Order a prime rib or a hand-cut ribeye cooked over the open hearth, and a wedge salad to start. Reservations help on weekends.
The Butcher's Son · Chesapeake
The Butcher's Son runs a chop house in Chesapeake that Coastal Virginia Magazine's readers tied for Overall Gold for steak. It pairs a butcher's sensibility with a full steakhouse menu, so the cuts are the reason to go. Order a bone-in ribeye or the featured cut of the night with a side of the day, and let the kitchen handle the temperature. Good for a night that calls for red meat and a martini.
Schlesinger's Steakhouse · Newport News
Schlesinger's Steakhouse is the Peninsula's entry here, a Newport News chophouse that Coastal Virginia Magazine's readers awarded Gold for steak. It keeps the format classic: aged steaks, seafood towers and a wine list built for the occasion. Order a filet or New York strip with creamed spinach and a lump crab cake on the side, and finish with something from the bar cart.
River Stone Chophouse · Suffolk
River Stone Chophouse comes from the team behind Suffolk's Vintage Tavern and earned Silver for steak in Coastal Virginia Magazine's readers' awards. The room aims for polished-rustic in a quieter corner of the metro, and the kitchen treats steaks as the centerpiece with a rotating list of cuts. Order a ribeye or filet with a seasonal side, and lean on the staff for a wine pairing from the list.
