    Had a great meal with excellent service. Pleasantly surprised that an accompaniment came with your steak - expected a la carte. Highly recommend!

    Best steaks! And sides. This is our go to place for good steaks, chicken fried sirloin, chopped steak, etc. Service is always great. Locally owned restaurant, so we prefer them getting our business and we have been going there for years!

    Bo was amazing! We really enjoyed our experience and all enjoyed our food. Bo was helpful with our food allergies and preferences. He was knowledgeable about the wine selection as well.

    I absolutely love Austin Land and Cattle—it’s a true Austin gem. In a city full of big, corporate steakhouses that feel stuffy and predictable, this place stands out with its authentic charm and character. The core menu is classic and consistently great, but the rotating monthly additions keep things fresh and fun. The service is exceptional—they go above and beyond for any occasion, making every visit feel special. It’s easily one of my favorite spots in town.

    Favorite steakhouse ever - not too fancy, great casual atmosphere, but best steaks in town at better prices than other steak places.

    I would say it was a strong C. The food was lacking seasoning. Ordered the escargot and while it was cooked perfectly it was drowned in butter, no garlic flavor at all. Then got the ribeye and the beef flavor and texture was great but no seasoning on the meat. I guess I should have ordered a sauce. Brownie pie and cream brûlée were wonderful. Service was just okay.

    Steak was terrible. Ordered a 10oz filet mignon, medium rare. Got someone burnt on the outside, completely raw and cold on the inside. Server told me, 'That's just how we serve it here.' Sides were good. Sauces were terrible. Would never go back.
