About this restaurant

You haven't experienced the best of Austin until you've been to ALC Steaks at 12th and Lamar. For truly remarkable steaks served with a generous helping of Austin attitude, visit the Capitol city's only independent, family owned steakhouse.

    The only reason ambience was low is that it's very warm inside in the summer. The a/c just cant seem to keep up with afternoon heat, and we had a 745pm reservation. (I was sweating til the sun went completely down. Our waiter left us waiting a bit, too, but they seemed short staffed maybe? He was very courteous and responsive to requests, but we had to flag him down a couple times. The steaks have gone up in price by a good bit but are still consistently the best steaks in Austin.

    This is old Austin - been here since 1993. Excellent, efficient wait staff and delicious steaks. Make sure you save room for dessert!

    During a recent visit to Austin, I set out to satisfy a steak craving and, after some research, landed on ALC Steaks—a true gem in the city. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another restaurant; it was an experience worth savoring. I decided on the porterhouse, requesting a slight tweak to the side to suit my taste. My server, Austin, handled it like a pro, seamlessly passing my instructions to the kitchen. The result? A steak cooked to absolute perfection, showcasing the skill and care of the culinary team. I’m already counting the days until I can return for another round of exceptional cuisine and top-notch service. ALC Steaks is a must-visit, hands down.

    Excellent food. Unbelievably reasonable prices for great steaks and sides. Attentive and friendly waiter. Blows all those high-dollar chain steakhouses out of the water!

    My go-to steakhouse. Food and service is always great. Interior could use some updating but that’s also what gives it an old Austin charm that no one else has anymore. Love ALC!
