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. Serving sizzling, hand-cut, aged beef and great friends the way Austinites have loved it since 1993.

    We had a great server who was very very attentive. The food was perfect as always, and the ambience was spot on. One of our favorite places is in Austin and will continue to come back.

    Brandon was a great waiter. Steak was good but not out of the park good. But that’s why the prices were reasonable. So good value.

    One of the few iconic old Austin feel establishments with outstanding food and service. Bar and wine pours are way above average!! Most servers have been there a long time.

    Honestly, I love ALC, but my ribeye was tough and gristly. Not my usual experience there. Salad, side and drinks were all good.

    All 11 family members raved about the food and service from last nights visit. This has been our family go-to restaurant when the out-of-stater members come for a visit. The steaks and salmon are amazing, there are many side dish choices, the mixed drinks, wine and beer list is extensive and the service is fantastic. Our server last night, Caitlin H, did a wonderful job. She was attentive, friendly, efficient and very professional. An excellent dessert menu also, especially the Pecan Tart. Well worth a visit to a very iconic Austin restaurant. Also ii's away from the traffic mad-house of central downtown.

    Slow and sparse service, over 25 minutes for our first drinks to hit the table and our server to take our orders and then another 25 minutes of waiting to order and receive a bottle of wine. Ordered a rib eye medium rare and was served a blue steak. Would’ve sent it back but server didn’t check on us for another 30 minutes after the steaks were dropped. $180 per person for overall what was a terrible dinner.
