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.

    Had a great dinner at ALC Steaks. Seated in the far back which was blessedly quiet. You can choose different spaces depending on noise tolerance. The lamb chops were great. The steaks were great. And the pecan pie dessert was as good as any pecan pie I’ve ever had. Service unobtrusive but responsive. A great steakhouse.

    They focus more on the quality of food than the quality of the ambience and I’m 100% okay with that bc the service and food is always excellent.
