When you’re paying a lot for a meal at a steakhouse, you expect the service to match the quality of the food. While the food was good, the service was quite poor especially for a more upscale restaurant. We had a reservation and were not seated until 20 minutes past our reservation time. This is despite having several open tables all around us. We placed our order, and waited, waited, waited while watching other larger tables seated after us receive their food. Not what you’re expecting when you spend over $100 per person on food and wine for a birthday dinner. The food was good and steak was well-prepared. However, the poor service overshadowed the experience. Just not a great evening and it didn’t seem like the staff cared one bit. Again, good food but would recommend going somewhere else.

I recently celebrated a special occasion with a party of 10 at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Our waiter, William, was incredible—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top-notch. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each entree was cooked to perfection; I had the Steak Diana and my husband had the Fried Elk and both of our entrees were incredibly delicious. We also had several of their appetizers and desserts, all were delicious. We were also pleasantly surprised by how quickly our meals arrived—only about 30 minutes after we ordered for a party of 10 on a Friday night! The large portions were more than enough to satisfy everyone, and I don’t think a single person at our table managed to finish their plate. Even though we couldn’t see Lake Travis due to it being late at night, the low lighting of the restaurant created a warm and intimate atmosphere. Their menus were easy to read, even in the low lighting, as they light up upon being opened. We were seated at the back of the restaurant and the floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the stunning lights of the Hill Country. We had a reservation for 7 PM and were seated right on time, which is always appreciated. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has definitely earned its five stars, and I can’t wait to return for another amazing meal. Highly recommend!

Everything was really good and tasted amazing. The only reason for the low rating is that my steak was clearly over done. I asked for mod-rare and it came out med-well. For a fine establishment where steaks are your staple, they need to work on that. I would come back for a 2nd chance that's a fact. I know they are probably better than what I ordered.

My wife and some friends and I went here for our 16th anniversary. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the food was Amazing. The steak i ordered was so tender and flavorful.. I'm still talking about it with friends and family. We will definitely be back and will be telling others and bringing others!!

Such an amazing place! Thought I had taken more photos than I did. But we were so caught up with the drinks, apps, and dinner forgot to! Super friendly and helpful staff. Our waitress was awesome! We bantered about her being from Spokomton (Spokane-sup gangster) and talked about us celebrating my wife's birthday- she was a blast. The food was amazing. All cooked perfectly, great flavor, and the drinks were amazing. Towards the end they had live music and the guy playing was doing a great job. We would totally come back here on our next visit with our friends!

Excellent place for meat lovers. The location is one of a kind. Service is great and the food... wow. One if not the best on Austin

Awesome place to dine. It started out a little slow as we had to wonder if we would be waited on. They eventually came over and apologized for the wait and comp the drinks. The food was very well prepared and the staff were really nice.

The pork belly was very delicious, service was great. The sides lacked in flavor and presentation. Cowboy beans felt old like thick with a big sweet flavor. Steaks had a great taste and nailed the temperature! Mac & cheese was average along with the mash potatoes. Good wine selection
