The finding
What the evidence shows
Jeffrey's is genuinely one of the best regarded steakhouses in the country, but the specific number is off. In the 2025 World's Best Steak Restaurants rankings it landed at No. 3 in North America, and on a separate global 101 Best Steakhouses list it came in at No. 52 worldwide, not No. 2 in the country.
