Austin, TX
Best Steakhouse in Austin.
Harry's top 10 steakhouse spots in Austin score 84–93 on the Harry Score. 8 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$$$.
Austin's steakhouse scene is compensating for something: this is a barbecue town first, and brisket set the local bar for mastering beef. Serious steak money moved north to the Domain with the tech offices — glass, valet, expense accounts — while Dallas still carries the old-guard, oil-money steakhouse lineage Austin never had time to grow. Harry doesn't care about the wine list or the dry-aging locker on display. He cares whether the kitchen handles beef as well as the pit master down the street already does.
