About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Third and Main is a top-of-the-line steak house and tavern in historic Aurora, IN. From in house dry aging our steaks to carrying the largest selection of wagyu beef in the Midwest, we have it all. If steak isn't your favorite we also have a fresh seafood selection weekly with a full sushi and raw bar.

Located in one of the oldest operating taverns in Indiana, Third and Main carries on the historic traditions with an upscale menu in a casual atmosphere. Just a short drive from Cincinnati along the Ohio River, this family-owned and operated restaurant is a great place to get away from the bustle of city living.

Our 120 year old bar is fully-stocked with over 275 different bourbons, domestic, import and craft beers and a variety of select wines we feature proudly. Stop in and have a seat at our 120 year old bar to see why Third and Main is a local Tri-State favorite.

    We both had Steaks. They were cooked perfectly. One of the best steaks I have ever had. Sides were also spot on. Service was over the top. We never waited for anything.

    First time visit and a great food experience, and this place’s service is amazing. We were seated very friendly by the hostess staff and were served by Wade. His suggestions were terrific with a nice home charm that is very cool. Not pushy and answered all our questions. I unfortunately was paged and had to take a call during his introduction, but Wade returned and very nicely explained all again to me, which I greatly appreciated. He suggested our drinks and got our first appetizer for us, the sea biscuit, honestly amazing depth of taste and very good visually too. Next, we had the tomatoes bisque soup and house salad. Both very good, but the carrot/ginger and homemade ranch dressings were delicious. Wade let us try both! Mains were the American Wagyu 6oz Filet that could be cut easily with a butter knife (perfectly cooked!) and I had the special that was a crab-topped grouper with a crazy good saffron-infused purée on sunchoke with Calabrian peppers. We also had shareable sides of orange/garlic asparagus and their yummy collard greens. Dessert was gifted to us for our anniversary, and we got the flaming apple crumble that is incredible! Cool presentation too. Service was the star, just slightly behind the great food. Everyone works as a team to make sure all your needs are met. From water, to clearing dishes, to running out your food, everything is everyone’s duty. Smiles abounded, and you can tell this place is definitely run with positive enthusiasm! Just a lovely experience. Of note, there was a problem dinner table next to us that the staff professional handled even though the patrons were the issue. Staff was way nicer to these rude people than they deserved, and this was impressive as I’m also in the service world. Kudos to Wade, Matthew, and Hailey as you three get the gold star for patience with this table tonight! In conclusion, thank you to Third and Main for making our anniversary dinner so special. Great to find a gem restaurant!

    I wanted to love it because it was close to home. But I got their "special" and the grouper was overcooked and just overall lacked flavor. "I know who would get fish at a steak house?". My wife got their signatured dry aged steak and it was cooked ok but lacked flavor. The mashed potatoes were amazing though. Unfortunately, there are several steak houses in their same price range I'd recommend in the area long before them.

    An amazing dining experience. Exactly what we were looking for. Kat was very personable and excellent server. Her eyes sparkle and reflects her sweet personality. Food was excellent! We had a Ceasar salad and the muscles. It was a lot of food and very nicely done. Don’t hesitate to stop here for any occasion.

    Went here with my wife for our 40th Anniversary. The place was pretty much perfect. The service was fast, attentive, accurate, and friendly. The food just could not have been any better. My Felet Mignon was very tender and cooked just right and the asparagus was different and awesome. My wife lover her lobster tail and the mango chili green beans. Desserts were veey good and the coffee was just right. We went a little early (5pm) so the crowd was sparse. Next time i will go a little later when it is hoppin. It is not cheap so it is only a couple times a year thing for us, but we WILL be back. Also enjoyed the historic town and shops.
