Great steak, prices a bit high

by gdawnc

The decor is lovely, & the service is quite professional

& friendly. I've been there 4 times & have always been very happy with whatever I ordered. The prices are high for this area, and all side dishes must be ordered separately. But for a great steak dinner as an occasional treat, it's wonderful.

• Pros: If you want steak without a trip, this is the place
• Cons: prices; everything is a la carte

Best Steak Ever

by jleiper

My son took us to Austin's last summer. We had my 88 year old mother with us. The service was great. They treated my mother like a queen. Even cut her meat for her. What a treat it was. The steaks were the best ever tasted. Can't wait to return again. Looking forward to bringing friends and family.

• Pros: Thumbs up. Taste beats out price.
• Cons: Leave your diet at home.

Mellow, Adult, Atmosphere...Fantastic Food

by eddielane

My first time at Austin's was an accident. I was looking for a different local steakhouse. I decided to go in. From the outside it doesn't look like much. Once inside I was surprised. The mellow adult atmosphere was wonderful. Sinatra/Billy Holiday music filled the space. A small but upscale bar. Very nice. The bartender could not make a bad drink. The booths were very comfortable. The service was almost too attentive. I ordered the "cowboy steak", odd name for the atmosphere, medium. It was perfect. My guest ordered the shrimp cocktail. She loved it. My only objection were the sides which were charged separately. The steak, for Brooklyn was pricey enough. Should have came with a choice of sides. I had the brownie for dessert. It was a little too rich for my taste. FYI, the men's room was super clean. I think that says a lot too. I went back a few days later and sat at the bar for a drink. The bartender (John) was wonderful and friendly and adult. Again every drink was perfect. Summary...well worth it.

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: Pricey
