Missouri is home to an endless stream of amazing restaurants, but sometimes it's the lesser-known establishments that can provide an unforgettable dining experience. Steakhouses are already a great place to treat yourself or to celebrate a special occasion, but one that gets commendations through local praise and customer ratings rather than by simply being a popular chain may be worth experiencing.

Cheapism searched the country for the best steakhouses you may not have heard about, excluding chain restaurants to compile a list of the best specialized eatery in each state that has flown under the radar, such as "hole-in-the-wall operations" and "romantic places with dazzling views."

According to the site, the best under-the-radar steakhouse in all of Missouri is Kreis' Restaurant, a St. Louis restaurant that serves up prime Midwestern cuts sure to please any meat lover. Kreis' Restaurant & Bar is located at 535 S. Lindbergh Boulevard.

Here's what Cheapism had to say about the best under-the-radar restaurant to order a steak in the state:

"The restaurant has stayed true to the original owner's vision since 1948. Kreis' serves only USDA prime Midwestern corn-fed Angus beef, dry-aged four to six weeks in house. New York strips, filets, prime rib, and porterhouse steaks are served with eight steak accompaniments to choose from an 11 a la carte side dish options. Veal dishes such as Schnitzel a la Holstein are offered too. Make sure to save room for a raved-about dessert: warm apple strudel, an in-house made treat from a Kreis family recipe."
