Diner Reviews
  • "For such a pricey dining establishment, our party was disappointed by the speed at which we were pushed through our meal. Before we had even finished our salads, the steaks were on the table. Plates were cleared before everyone had finished eating. Fine dining establishments rarely present this type of rushed service, and we were very disappointed. While the waiter seemed aware of the problem, he did nothing to stop it except apologize. At over $600 for six people, one would expect five-star service. Perhaps The Palm would be a better option for a leisurely, enjoyable and savory experience. The restaurant came off like a starstruck paparazzi wanting to please the ladies with the video camera more than the family in the booth....."

  • "Wet aged steak was very good. crab cakes, crab and corn bisque, bread and sides were mediocre at best. Place is really noisy, for the price Pappas or III Forks are way better. Server was fantastic"

  • "From the minute you walk in the door every customer is treated so well from beginning to end. I made an Open Table reservation last minute that they made happen, even the fine details of requesting a window booth. The General Manager runs the ship so well and is personal with his attention to detail. The service was top notch and the food fare was absolutely excellent, and most of all consistent. Tthe tenderloin is superb and recommend the crab Benedict if a going for brunch. Looking forward to many more visits and a truly great steakhouse, plus more in the Big D. Yum!"

  • "The people watching here is as good as the food and service. Upon check in, we waited approximately 15 minutes for our table-not a big deal. However, there was no room or place to stand and wait unless we hovered over bar dinners or put our back sides in the faces of table guests. Great food, best salmon I've had in Dallas."

  • "Great food, great service, lively atmosphere. Loud dining room"
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "I ordered the prime rib an found it to be a extremely tough cut of beef. I was having trouble cutting it with their steak knife. This is not the norm for this restaurant. I have found their prime rib to be one of the best in Dallas. My wife ordered the scallops and prawns. The scallops were perfect but the prawns were over cooked and tough. I will give them another try but on a Sunday night when they aren't so busy."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "Great food noise level is high, they updated but It looks unfinished and took the ambiance away. Server was nice and knowledgable but went missing at times. Dome booth area was the worse place to sit as we heard everything echoing from the bar."

  • "I'm a foodie, and the food didn't cut it. It was okay but not out-of-this world, I'm coming back good. The atmosphere was great and fun. Service excellent!"

  • "It was so Noisy I could barely hear my table guests. I asked for the best steak in the house and got a Tough high dollar ribeye that tasted strangly The salad was great!"
    Dined on 7/16/2014
  • "Consistently one of the best in Dallas. Food quality is tops, and service impeccable. Lunch special of salmon on a bed of greens was fresh and perfectly prepared. Our group also tried the chopped salad, with added jalapenos, and another the "Al's salad." Both were a big hit."

  • "Little difficult to find the entrance (valet parking) but once you're in...WOW! Great bar scene for a Thursday night. Our server Michael was on top of his game. Great food and drinks! The beer battered prawns were a delight and the Ribeye from McKinney was cooked to perfection. It was nice being in a crowded restaurant and still feeling as if our table was the only table in the house. Will certainly be heading back again...soon!"

  • "Went for a birthday celebration, not the first time for that event at Al's. Always have a great time there. A large crowd for a Thursday night even though we went a little early. Folks always seem to enjoy themselves there. Some interesting changes with the recent renovation activity. We will be back again soon!"

  • "While I work in town, we have now moved out to the country. So when I have the chance to "stay in town" for dinner/ happy hour- I always choose Al's. Not only is the food consistently GREAT, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere cannot be beat. Most of the regulars don't dine here thinking they will run into someone famous or a visiting celebrity. But you never know who might be sitting next to you! Al keeps it fresh with great steaks, seafood and changing specials. The Al's Salad is one of my favorites and to balance out the salad- I always get their huge onion rings. The staff here treats everyone as a movie star and that is what keeps me coming back. It is the first palace I tell friends to visit when in town."
    Dined on 7/9/2014
  • "i'm very particular about seafood and i was very pleased with the scallops. Cooked perfectly. Fresh taste. a light sauce decorated the plate but didn't saturate the scallops which could stand on their own."
    Dined on 7/9/2014
  • "What have you done to our favorite restaurant??? All the lighting you put in erases the charm and romance of the dark wood and other things that made Al's such a great place to dine. The spotlights shining directly down on the tables are strange and annoying and we would never sit at such a table. At the booth we had on the rear right side of the restaurant a light from one of the things you put on the walls shone right into my eyes and the waiters could not fix it. That is just unacceptable. We complained to several staff members and they all agreed with us that the rehab did more harm than good. If this is not fixed we will not return and spend $200 (check my last bill if you don't believe me) at a place where we are annoyed. Please fix"

  • "My wife and I go to Al's for special occasions. This time it was for her birthday. This place is really pricey, so one expects the best in service, food quality, etc. As usual the service was great on our latest visit. But, the food just isn't worth the money. One item we really enjoy is the tempura prawns appetizer. We have commented that maybe we would just make a meal by having two apps each and share a salad. The steak wasn't worth $50. My wife had the fish special -- also disappointing. We'll probably go back the next time my piggy bank has enough for an outing."

    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "We were not impressed at all. The wait staff did not seem to have much experience. Rib Eye did not have much flavor possible cooked in a skillet. Cake was good. Will probably not go back"
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "First time, won't go back. Service felt like a fast food restaurant. It was rushed and a group of servers felt like no one had control. Ordered a very expensive bottle of wine that was poured like tap water around the table. Supposedly, the restaurant was newly remodeled, but it looked like a warehouse to me. It was hot and crowded. I don't understand why this restaurant is rated so highly. The food was good but not great. Felt like I truly wasted $500."

  • "My wife and I came for our second anniversary after hearing wonderful things about Als. Our server Rachel A. was not friendly and gave us the impression she was trying to rush us out the door. However, our back waiter , Ruben, was awesome and very nice. The restaurant was extremely loud. We will not return. There are plenty of other places to spend our money."

  • "Al is usually at the front hostess area to greet every customer. We have been dining at Al Biernats's for over 10 years. The food (filet, sea bass, buffalo, lobster, al's salad, etc) is amazing and the service is great too. We were there on our anniversary and the entire staff made it special. Al bought us drinks and the server gave us a free dessert."

  • "My husband and I went here for our first wedding anniversary. We noted on the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and were met with congratulations and happy anniversary wishes from the minute we walked in the door. The service was absolutely fantastic and the food was just as good! We started with the jumbo prawns, then shared the tomato and mozzarella salad. For our entrees, I had the Chilean sea bass and my husband had the bone-in filet with a side of macaroni and cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious! For dessert, we had the apple cobbler, which the restaurant was generous enough to comp for our anniversary! Overall, an excellent dining experience!"

  • "Making a reservation online was quick and easy. I like the valet parking and the atmosphere was nice. The clam chowder and chicken picatta were excellent. The pecan pie was ok...I'll try the coconut pie next time. Overall, it was a good experience."
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "Outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We were out to celebrate three birthdays out of the four in our party. Al himself met us at the door and escorted us to our table. We ordered two of the nightly appetizers specials, a steak tartare and oysters Rockefeller (Oysters from Maine) which were the best we've ever had! One of the entree specials was an 8 oz. filet and 6 oz. lobster tail. Two of us had that and it was prepared to perfection and served with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The others ordered the Chilean Sea bass and another another 8 oz. filet. equally outstanding. For dessert we were offered 4 complimentary desserts to celebrate our birthdays. Al was even there to say goodbye to us as we departed!"
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "Tables for two are a little too close together. The couple seated next to us were in blue jeans and t-shirts. Our waiter very knowledgeable about the beef being served. Prime rib and lobster were delicious. Baked potato was average. Great service. I wouldn't sit outside. It seemed like part of the parking lot had just been roped off."
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "First time at Al's based on friend's recommendation. Celebrating anniversary. Food, service and ambiance were all perfect. Tried the warm French brie, split a salad, Wagyu strip steak, chicken parmesan with linguini, and roasted brussel sprouts...took home plenty, including a slice of coconut cream pie. Best steak in a long, long time. And service was extraordinary. Highly recommend."
