Steakhouses are as plentiful as the variety of steaks they serve. With so many options out there, it can be hard to weed out the good from the bad. But if you’re searching for a prime spot to indulge your steak craving, why not head to Wisconsin’s best steakhouse, Tornado Steak House? The iconic eatery is housed in a building that predates its opening by centuries, making the surroundings as memorable as the steaks. Take a look:

Located in downtown Madison, Tornado Steak House has been serving up white-linen dining in a supper club atmosphere since 1996.

Though only open since the 90s, its interior boasts an undeniable old-timey vibe – and that’s no coincidence. The building that houses the steakhouse dates back to the 1800s.
