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.

    Ambiance was great. Medium well steak was overcooked and also the pork chops. The sides were good.

    Steaks were too thin. Not what I expect when ordering a filet. We’ve never been served steaks like that at ALC. Very disappointed.

    Liked the food so much one night, came back for a second. May be the best steak I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been fortunate to eat at many great steakhouses. The seasoning was on point and the steaks were juicy and delicious. (Did bone in NY and the ribeye). Got the creamed corn + green chiles and the sautéed mushrooms as sides. Outstanding complement. Pecan pie (I’d hold the caramel) with ice cream. Doesn’t really get better in my mind.

    We always go to ALC for special occasions. It’s quiet, great food and service. It’s easy to have a private conversation here.

    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.
