Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best high-end steakhouses in Detroit, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to venture when cravings strike.

1. Roast

Topping the list is Roast. Located at 1128 Washington Blvd. in downtown Detroit, the steakhouse is the highest-rated high-end steakhouse in Detroit, boasting four stars out of 952 reviews on Yelp.

According to its website, Roast was awarded Detroit's Restaurant of the Year in 2009 by the Detroit Free Press. The steakhouse offers various cuts of steak, a mixture of main dishes, specialty side items, a full bar and a dessert menu. Look for the hanger steak with roast fries, pickled shallots and chiles and dry-aged ribeye with charred onion relish, watercress and olive oil. Or try the wild boar ragu made of ricotta cavatelli, grana padano and kale.
