27 Best Steakhouses in Austin

“Estância Brazilian Steakhouse is a place I’ve visited several times over the years, and overall it has been a positive experience. Like many steakhouses that operate at scale, the experience can vary slightly depending on the day. I did have one visit around Thanksgiving where the meat was noticeably too salty, which took away from the meal.
Since then, however, I’ve come back a few times for their lunch offerings, and those visits have been much better. I particularly enjoy their executive lunch option, which combines a good amount of protein with access to their excellent salad bar. The salad bar itself is one of the highlights here—fresh, varied, and thoughtfully arranged with plenty of options that go beyond the typical salad offerings.
The atmosphere is comfortable and the service generally efficient, making it a nice spot for a relaxed lunch or casual business meal. And a small detail that always makes me smile: the candy bowl near the exit. It’s a simple touch, but it’s a fun and nostalgic way to end the meal.
Overall, Estância delivers a satisfying Brazilian steakhouse experience, especially for lunch, with a standout salad bar and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“If you're looking for a great time and a delicious dinner, this is the place to go. We had a large party and the service was top notch. Jonathan, our server, was amazing! He answered all our questions and was very informative. The entire party was impressed by him, the food, and the drinks. We can't wait to go back.“

“The food and service were impeccable. We had a a terrible expense at a competitors and left without ordering, we came to Dean’s and they seated us in the bar right away and proceeded to make our experience 10/10.“

“As always, for many years we’ve dined at Jeffrey’s and we are very pleased with the service and of course our food. Can’t say enough!“

“very very organized, amazing staff, very clean.. best Brazilian place I've ever been to“

“Our server Seth was great! They accommodated my Dairy Allergy and were so mindful of it! The food was absolutely perfect (highly recommend the filet). The Tea Party Drink was a fun experience and highly recommend! An absolute must visit when in Austin!“

“PERFECT!!! That's what describes last night's experience at Bartlett's. My wife ordered the Fish and Shrimp with a small Caesar salad and I got their Famous French Dip sandwich. Everything cooked to perfection!! Our waiter Jeff L was right there every we needed something. An EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE (Again). Have been coming here since 1984 and never a bad experience.“

“Tonight was absolutely amazing! Lamar wasn’t even our assigned waiter, yet he went above and beyond to take incredible care of us. As we were leaving, he made sure we had water to go, such a thoughtful touch. His service was impeccable from start to finish. Someone please give this man a raise and a promotion, he truly deserves it!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at III Forks in Austin, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was meticulously crafted and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delightful journey of taste, showcasing creativity and a deep passion for culinary excellence. What truly set III Forks apart, however, was the service. Our waiters not only exuded warmth and genuine hospitality but also possessed an extraordinarily impressive background knowledge of every item on the menu. Their detailed explanations and insightful recommendations made the dining experience even more enjoyable, as we felt truly connected to the story behind each dish. In an era where great service and exceptional cuisine are hard to come by, III Forks excels on every level. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Austin, this restaurant is a must-visit destination. The combination of delectable food and unparalleled service creates an ambiance that’s both inviting and sophisticated—a true testament to the culinary artistry of III Forks.“

“Wonderful dining experience. Service was outstanding. My wife and I had the crab cake, shrimp cocktail, small filet mignon, and the sea bass. The crab cake was large and full of crab, and the sea bass was phenomenal. The broth was flavorful and well balanced. Compliments to the chef.

My daughter is a very picky eater and she devoured the macaroni and cheese from the kids menu.“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“this is one of our favorite places to eat in Austin!“

“We ❤️ALC! The food is exquisite, the service is fantastic, and you can’t beat the quality and portion size for the value and price. Sit at the bar and order the crab cakes, seared ahi tuna with wasabi, steak sampler with Maker’s Mark bourbon and jalapeño horseradish. The brownie and the tres leches are to die for. Brooke and Michael make delicious drinks and pair the perfect wines with each course.“

“This place is fantastic! We went for a date night and it was delicious with a nice ambience. Pretty, intricate, industrial-like chandeliers hang throughout with color coordinated tapestry. We had a very personable and knowledgeable server (Ani) who made great recommendations. The Steak Frites were just the right amount of steak for me (8 oz). My husband got the Prime Rib happy hour special--an excellent deal for a large au jus steak for just $19. We thought it was 8 oz but it seemed like a much larger cut. The cocktails were creative and well-made, very balanced. The happy hour deals are wild good. We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent food, so many draft beer options.. get on the wait list early on the weekends, it can be a little bit chaos around dinner time.. Meat bones for the puppies if you're lucky 😉 also, though the music is great, I didn't enjoy yelling at my friends across our table“

“This place is like a hole in tha wall not to many Texans know bout this place. It serves the best steak I ever had hands down.. So sad it's closing its doors for the summer dam Texas heat that's the reason they closing if you haven't heard.. But it's a must try beleave me you won't be disappointed... 100 percent delicious ?...“

“Service was great, atmosphere was okay watched football game and celebrated my kiddos good grades. The server was polite, funny and always there when you needed her. Husband had the steak, I had teriyaki chicken and of course kiddo chicken tenders fries. The bartender was a little loud and upset someone was sat in her area and let the entire bar area know about it. She was a little rude about it. So I calmly asked if it was because we were sat near there we can go some where else. Our waitress said no. It is so unfortunate that people are so unhappy and have to act this way and others hear it.“

“We went on Friday night after a comedy show around 8:45-9pm, it was my first time there and the food and the service was absolutely exceptional, thank you to Steeve who waited on us, finally a waiter that is engaging, can hold a conversation, and very attentive to detail, will definitely be back!“

“Every single part of our meal was wonderful. Thank you!“

“I really didn't expect much, but the New York Strip was incredibly delicious.
If you come here, I highly recommend you try it.
Eating it with the vegetables and mashed potatoes made the meat taste even better.
It was truly an impressive flavor.“

“Great steaks , nice atmosphere“

“I love everything about Texas Roadhouse even the managers😂🤗😍“

“I recently celebrated a special occasion with a party of 10 at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Our waiter, William, was incredible—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each entree was cooked to perfection; I had the Steak Diana and my husband had the Fried Elk and both of our entrees were incredibly delicious. We also had several of their appetizers and desserts, all were delicious. We were also pleasantly surprised by how quickly our meals arrived—only about 30 minutes after we ordered for a party of 10 on a Friday night! The large portions were more than enough to satisfy everyone, and I don’t think a single person at our table managed to finish their plate. Even though we couldn’t see Lake Travis due to it being late at night, the low lighting of the restaurant created a warm and intimate atmosphere. Their menus were easy to read, even in the low lighting, as they light up upon being opened. We were seated at the back of the restaurant and the floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the stunning lights of the Hill Country. We had a reservation for 7 PM and were seated right on time, which is always appreciated. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has definitely earned its five stars, and I can’t wait to return for another amazing meal. Highly recommend!“

“Angelica, was our server in July for my birthday and my goddaughter's birthday. Both times service was outstanding the calamari is amazing and the steaks sooooo good, I have never had a steak that tender before, Angelica made suggestions for my Goddaughter and she tried calamari for the first time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Long wait but excellent food“

“Absolutely would try to the sirloin, it is a nice cut of meat and very tender. Their appetizers are extremely good as well.“

“Ruth's Chris is my and my wife's favorite steak house. The steaks and sides are always spectacular and the service is always good.....Katie the GM for this Austin location was a pleasure and she personally greeted us during our dinner.“
