19 Best Steakhouses in Indianapolis

“The food was excellent. The service was horrible. We had many different wait staff come to our table and things were getting mixed up. Our bill was not correct and the waitress at the end acted as if it was the worst thing in the world to go correct it.“

“Best fine dining experience we’ve ever had! Our server was attentive to our needs the entire time and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the menu. You need to experience this for yourself!! What are you waiting for….schedule your dinner reservations today!“

“The BEST crab cakes EVER!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ John and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at St. Elmo Steak House for Mother’s Day last year, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere felt classic, welcoming, and full of history, which made the evening feel even more special. Our steaks were absolutely incredible — perfectly cooked, flavorful, tender, and honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. You can absolutely tell why St. Elmo’s is so well known. And of course… we have to talk about the famous horseradish cocktail sauce. WOW. It absolutely lives up to the hype. It has the perfect kick and flavor, and it’s one of those things you keep thinking about long after dinner is over. Definitely a must-try experience all on its own. What made the evening even more meaningful was celebrating Mother’s Day there together. Great food always creates memories, and this was one of those dinners we will always look back on fondly. If you’re looking for an amazing steakhouse experience with exceptional food, wonderful service, and a memorable atmosphere, St. Elmo’s is absolutely worth the visit. ❤️“

“We had what may very well have been the most extraordinary dining experience in our 15+ years living in Indianapolis, thanks to the unmatched hospitality of Sean. He is, without question, the best server we have ever had. His attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already phenomenal evening into something truly memorable. From the moment we sat down, everything was flawless. We began with oysters and the French onion soup. Do not skip the soup—it is a masterpiece in a bowl. The Chateaubriand arrived perfectly prepared, accompanied by impossibly good fries and glazed carrots that were simply next level. And just when we thought it could not get any better, the chocolate cake arrived. Rich, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable. Geraldine’s is a gem. But it was Sean who turned our night into something we will be talking about for years. We cannot wait to return, and we will be asking for Sean by name.“

“The service and ambiance was amazing🖤“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, upscale ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable night. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance—elegant and modern, yet still comfortable and welcoming. But let’s talk about the food—because wow. Every dish was a masterpiece! Bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with top-tier ingredients and serious culinary skill. Each bite was better than the last, and you could tell the kitchen is passionate about what they do. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both luxury and soul, this is it. Already counting down the days until I can go back!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful food and great staff! went to Indy race and stumbled across this gem!“

“A friend of mine was singing, so I made a reservation. The process was very easy and I received a text to confirm my table was ready. The staff was very nice and accommodating-as I gave up my table reservation to others with a larger party to sit on the patio (I was alone). The menu for the event was beautifully tailored and the bar staff was incredibly attentive. The ambiance was lovely, despite the quick rain, and it made for an enjoyable Saturday evening.“

“We had a wonderful dinner. The steak was cooked to rare consistency which my husband loved. My salmon was juicy and the rice was the bees knees. Our waitress was kind and attentive. We had a wonderful dinner and would visit this location again.“

“First time for my wife and myself, what a great experience!“

“Outstanding establishment. Everything on our dinner went very, very well. We dined in the private room for race weekend. Our server was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always around. Steaks were all amazing. Dining here while in Indianapolis is a must.“

“We have eaten there twice recently, and we love the food and the staff. Our servers have been Elaine and Cindy. Absolutely lovely ladies…and fun! Delicious food!!!!!!! ❤️“

“Tonight we had dinner for my husbands birthday. Our waitress, Brandi, was incredible. Extremely efficient, friendly, and funny. She refilled drinks without being asked. Wasn’t intrusive but always there if we needed anything. Just an extremely kind, fun person. She made our evening!!!“

“A very old place. The bathrooms are old. Parking is extremely limited. The only meat I could order medium rare was the steak tips. I could have had a better meal at longhorn steak house! Truely.. no seasoning, VERY BLAN food. Sorry South siders you don't have a Nalyas or The Salt or Harry & Izzys. So much better steak places out there!“

“We were a party of 5 for Father's Day and each of our 5 entrees were delicious! The staff was great, especially our server, Karmyn! She was so delightful and pleasant and made sure our experience was great. We will definitely look for her the next time we are there.“

“We were in Indy for a work conference and this restaurant was in our hotel, we made a reservation for Friday night.
The complimentary pretzel rolls were amazing.
I ordered a fried potato and cheese appetizer...🤤🤤 (I don't have the menu in front of me so Im unsure of the name) for main course I ordered the 26th street shrimp 👌
None of my coworkers had any complaints of their food besides the Brussels sprouts were too hard.“

“Todo de este lugar es bueno, y los servicios son excelentes!! La comida de aquí nunca falla, uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer.“

“12oz Ribeye and Alice Springs chicken were delicious. Hot, prepared almost perfect, served while hot was a vast improvement. Ashley was delightful, efficient and kind. Such a far better experience than a few months ago.“
