Coconut pie
Mohsin S.

Came here for restaurant week dinner. Dining room was packed on Friday night. We were late but seated promptly. Bibi our server was great. We tried the chowder, pear salad, shrimp lo mien, halibut and a couple of pies. My lo mein with chicken and shrimp was delicious. The noodles were done perfectly. If this dish was on their regular menu I would go for it. The Chowder was rich and creamy. If you like more pecans than filling in your pecan pie - this is the place!

Steak tartare
Justin P.

My experience here was excellent from start to finish. I came here with a co-worker and tried several items. Started off with the steak tartare(which was excellent) and washed it down with their old fashioned (not bad; had higher hopes.) For the main course I went with the 16oz strip; I loved it bite and would recommend it. The sides were brussel sprouts (excellent) and truffle fries (very tasty.) For dessert i tried the coconut cream pie (pretty good, but I bet the apple cobbler is more my speed.) The service was very attentive; our waitress was great, and the floor manager checked in on my table TWICE. Valet is free (huge plus) and you should expect to spend $100+ a person (especially if drinks are involved.) This was one of the best restaurants I've been to in Dallas. I highly recommend this spot.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Walker C.

Al Biernat's North delivered a classic steakhouse experience from start to finish. The location itself is very large and elegant, and the complimentary valet was a great touch that made arrival seamless. Service was truly top notch, attentive and professional without ever feeling overbearing, which is exactly what you want if you're looking for at a place like this. The ambiance is quintessential steakhouse: dark interior, white tablecloths, and an upscale but comfortable vibe that works perfectly for a special occasion or a fancier dinner out. We started with the Tempura Battered Prawns, which came with three impressively large shrimp paired with a tasty teriyaki sauce. A great way to kick things off. Next, we shared Brad's Grilled Pear Salad. Split between two people, it was the perfect portion and a fantastic palate cleanser before the main course; the pears were excellent. For our entrée, we ordered the 10 oz. Filet Mignon, which they kindly split for us at no extra charge. The steak was prepared and hit the spot though it didn't quite knock my socks off. We paired it with sides of mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. The mac and cheese was good, but not the best I've ever had. The Brussels sprouts, however, were top tier; the sriracha soy glaze really set them apart. Each steak also comes with a small portion of whipped sweet potatoes, which were absolutely delicious. As a sweet potato fan, this may have been my favorite bite on the plate. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, we were treated to our choice of dessert. We went with the Old Fashioned Slice of Chocolate Cake served with a small scoop of ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end the night. Overall, Al Biernat's North is a fantastic choice for a celebratory dinner with excellent service, classic ambiance, and solid food.

Vegan options
My N.

Air Land and Sea. This is a steak house but has options for everyone. They have 3 vegan entree options on the menu! I enjoyed the spicy lychee martini, which tastes quite different from the other lychee martinis I've had. It's a hint of spice and sweetness combo and how I would sum up the restaurant "a little something for everyone"

Huevos rancheros
Allennette A.

So glad we stopped in for Restaurant Week brunch! We were seated quickly, and Gio took great care of us--friendly and attentive the whole time. Pear Salad (5/5): Light, crisp, and refreshing--perfect for summer. The pears had just the right bite and paired beautifully with the dressing. Chicken Piccata (4/5): A generous portion of juicy chicken with perfectly cooked green beans on the side. The flavor was spot on--I only wished the pasta length was a little longer Huevos Rancheros (5.5/5!!): My boyfriend declared this the best he's ever had. The eggs were cooked perfectly and stayed warm, and the dish came loaded with sliced tenderloin, avocado, and just the right kick of spice. Every bite was satisfying. We left stuffed but are already planning to come back for the Key Lime Pie.

Crab and corn chowder
John J.

Delicious food and wonderful service. First time to eat in the second floor dining room and really enjoyed the ambience. Started with the shrimp cocktail. Nice jumbo shrimp but only three for $23 seemed a bit excessive. Unfortunately the shrimp were a bit overcooked as well. Ordered from the upgraded restaurant week menu. Had to ask for the restaurant week menu as it wasn't provided. It seems like they never provide the special menus whether it's their 3 course weekend special or restaurant week special menu unless you specifically asked for it after you've been seated with the normal menu. Just says to me, they don't really want to provide the special deals they offer. We began with the lobster bisque soup of the day. It was honestly kind of disappointing - flour tasting. However, the Seabass and tenderloin were exceptional. For dessert, coconut cream pie, and the Keylime pie were both ok.

Storefront
Quinn S.

This is a nice restaurant. Valet parking and table cloth dining room. It's a little more on the pricy side, but still reasonable. I came here with some co-workers and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was extremely efficient and well timed, and the food was filling and delicious. My grilled chicken sandwich was $18 and I was very satisfied eating it. The only reason it gets 4 stars for me is because there was nothing that stood out about it to me. It's a nice restaurant, good food, and good service. But not somewhere I would take someone to show them a taste of Dallas.

22oz cowboy ribeye with horseradish crust Specialty potatoes
Shawn A.

Decided to treat myself to a nice steak dinner at the end of my last business trip to Dallas. Al Biernat's hit the spot. Had the 22oz Cowboy Ribeye with the horseradish crust and creamy horseradish on the side. I did the specialty potatoes as my side. The steak was cooked well but a tad dry for me. The horseradish crust on it though more then made up for it and i ended up really enjoying the steak. I finished my meal with the coconut pie which ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Sat at the bar and the service was quick and attentive. I would definitely consider coming back on my next trip to the area.

We celebrated our son's 18th birthday and it was the perfect place to do it! Pedro took great care of us and the manager James Gee came by to check on us several times. Our food was prepared perfectly.

Ah yes, Al Berniats North, because what the world really needed was another steakhouse. Historically, Al Berniats North was where carnivores thrived and cholesterol dreams came true. Think prime rib the size of your head, leather booths, and more mahogany than a cigar lounge in 1997. But I had different plans... a seafood tapas spot. Well, plot twist: it worked. We ordered the crab cakes (obligatory), which were so fresh I'm fairly certain one of them had a name. Then came the grilled pear salad because why not put hot fruit on greens? Somehow it was perfect. The green beans arrived crisp and tender. And the horseradish-encrusted fish! Oh, just a delightful little flavor bomb that slapped me with taste and then apologized with a citrus finish. We had Lobster risotto for dessert because that was necessary! Service was alarmingly fast. Like, suspiciously fast. I half expected someone to pop out and say it was a prank show. Water glasses were refilled before they even had a chance to sweat. Napkins refolded mid-bite. I blinked and we were on dessert menus. This spot nailed it!

Al's Famous Coconut Cream Pie
Marie N.

Went to try Al Biernat's through a friend recommendation. The restaurant itself is very nice and service was great. Personally it's more of a date night spot or intimate setting. We ordered the corn and crab chowder and that was amazing, the Caesar salad was ok, and Brussels sprouts were ok too, just normal salads and sprouts. We decided to get the porterhouse with the trio sauce just to try everything. Honestly, we were not fans of the sauces, the best one was probably the peppercorn. The porterhouse was good though, very juicy. We also got the lychee martini, amazing, and the hot toddy, similar to the Starbucks hot medicine ball drink. Overall for a higher end steak house, I kind of expected a little more than just good steaks and meats. The absolute one thing I would come back for is the coconut cream pie. It's similar to eating the Girl Scout cookie somoas. Now that was a 5/5!!

Petite Filet split with a Crab Bernaise sauce
Monique S.

Looking for a buzzing, elite premium food experience...this is the place. Talk about feeling the warmth and social atmosphere, the manager, James was friendly and super engaging. This is the place you feel welcome no matter what because the staff is top notch. The food, I just can't even. My daughter and I started with the mussels and clams (1st for her) and we loved it. The perfect light, but savory flavor from the sauce made every bite delectable. We went with the special for dinner, petite filet with scallops...oh my deary...the most savory tender steak. I can't even explain. You will not be wanting for more or disappointed with this is restaurant! Now I just need one in NWA.

Croissants
Lauren B.

I wish I could write a better review for Al Biernat's North because I have been to the other location years ago and I remember it fondly. To start, they are valet only, which would be fine if they had sufficient support to get guests in and out. Instead, there was one person running the valet, resulting in waiting outside for 10+ mins to get your car. The food really was mediocre. I liked the bread you get at the start of the meal, but the croissants tasted like Pillsbury. The water was unpleasant. I ordered the fruit plate, which came with mint and yogurt, and it was the highlight of the meal. For my main, I ordered the avocado toast. This was most disappointing, it lacked flavor in a big way, and the poached eggs were undercooked and gave me an upset stomach. I enjoy poached eggs, but these had uncooked egg whites, making the whole dish unpleasant as well. It would have been better with a bit of olive oil or salt on top, but only the salad was edible. We all got desserts, so we tried a large amount on the menu, from the bread pudding to the key lime pie to the chocolate cake to the coconut cream pie, and they were all mediocre. I can't understand how they are all misses! Service was ok but nothing special. The restaurant interior was just ok as well, the loud country music playing didn't really match the atmosphere that well. I was pretty let down and would not return or recommend Al Biernat's to others.

What an amazing place. A not so hidden gem. I'm from out of town and can't sort this place when…read morecomparing to Houston. I want to place it with Morton's or Maestros but it's its own beast. The staff is so friendly and seems like a family. The prices are 10% under comp eateries. It's as if the owners took the best part of all fine dining and combined them. Here it is a relaxed but respectful environment with food that you would think comes from a Michelin rated spot. The clientele is eclectic and younger. I'm 47 so I am not like those around me but can see the client base. I'm not sure if it's the minimal menu (please take this as an anti Cheesecake Factory comment) or the items compliments that are setting it apart. What I mean is the steak by itself is amazing. Truly a top 10 steak (ribeye at $48) or the accompanying sauce that it setting it apart. I advise take two to three bites from different stations of the meat. Then take the same bites with their paired glaze. Make your own decisions. You aren't telling the full story if you didn't pair it with a great house Bonanza cab (actually on happy hour except for Fridays). The verdict. This place will be one I will always take clients to when visiting Dallas. The verdict on me is that I'm a steak based reviewer so I might be wrong on all other aspects but the only likely wild card here would be the salads and seafood. I'm not here at a steakhouse for anything else. My wife can write that review. Last PS is that Dave the bartender is nice and accommodating and will let you explore the space . He is matter of fact but possibly could be a friend if not already to all. Watching Dave now live with his regulars says that he balances all customers very well. Negatives. Parking is just slightly odd. There is plenty of it and valet is free to customers. Let's not worry. No rush to get here at 5. The regulars and common come in around 6 as all others do on a Friday (this was my second night after being here for Thursday) Food has arrived. App is the carpaccio and holy shit wow. Not some boring small plate that exudes poor people suck. It's above average size like it should be . I'm not sure why the garlic bread is hear other than a nod to old school. My steak is in a to go box (nicely wrapped with utensils and yes that matters when you travel). This is my steak and if it sucks I'll remove the review. I'm kidding as it's a to go. This is a real world review. I do one long review every few years.

The wife and I went here on a Saturday night for a date night. The restaurant is one giant room…read morethat must seat at least 200 people. There were long tables for large groups. There are booths along the wall, although we were seated in the middle of this giant room. The restaurant is modern and has an upscale vibe. Dress ranged from casual to people getting dressed up. For starters, we shared the Oysters Rockefeller. They were not my favorite. The flavors were not balanced and there was too much garlic. A couple of the oysters were extremely chewy and had to be discarded. At $18, they were a disappointment. For entrees, the wife had the Branzino and liked it, although she mentioned several times that the Branzino at Zeppole is much better. I ordered the Bistro steak which is a 9 oz tenderloin. The meat was cooked to medium as requested. However, it was not seasoned at all. I guess the cook thought that the peppercorn would compensate, but I got my sauce on the side and ate the meat without. Only after I found out that the steak was not seasoned did I add the sauce. The sauce was ok but did not have a lot of flavor. I have had better. A big problem was that the "steak knife" that I was given was so dull that it was impossible to cut the steak across the grain. I could only sort of tear at the meat as I cut with the grain. The knife needed to be serrated and it was not. It was not a proper steak knife, which made eating the steak a chore. The meat was tender, but certainly not Prime and certainly not the most tender tenderloin that I have ever had. At $31, which is very inexpensive for tenderloin, I guess you get what you pay for. The fries were thin and crisp and the best part of the entree. For dessert, the wife and I shared a piece of pecan pie and it was excellent. Not too sweet, but sweet enough. Our server Marcella was professional and efficient. No complaints. There is complimentary valet parking. The concept behind this restaurant is an affordable steak house. These days, the cost for two people at an upscale steak house will easily exceed $300. Our bill at Steakyard was about half of that. Once again, you get what you pay for. Our meal was good, but not great. I could easily go 3 stars but I will bump it up one star based on the ambience, service, and dessert.

The food is consistently excellent. We went for dinner on a Saturday night (reservations are highly recommended). The wife had the chicken as a main entree. It was outstanding. The chicken was smoky, tender, and moist. It has a bevy of vegetables that are cooked perfectly. It comes with a side and she got the baked potato with everything. She loved everything about this entree. For me, it was an easy decision. I LOVE their wedge salad and started with that. The price has gone up a bit but it remains outstanding. For some reason, the waiter gave me a small but it was fine. The small in 2026 is $7.99 and the regular size is now $11.99. For my entree, I ordered from the appetizer menu and got the crab cake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the crab cake. It has to be the best in Dallas. It is one half pound of pure crab meat, no filler. The price has gone up to $26.99 so it is not cheap, but it is outstanding quality. The cake was perfectly cooked and the crab was sweet. It comes with three dips but to me, I want to taste the crab so I did not use them. The kid had the old fashioned fries and devoured them. Our server, Mark, was attentive and efficient. Service was excellent as usual. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in Dallas and IMO the best in the line of Kenny's restaurants. I cannot wait to return.

Our first visit to Wicked Butcher in Dallas for DFW Restaurant Week delivered on every front…read more Downtown parking is tough, and the third-party valet runs $15, but the interior makes an immediate impression with sharp decor and an open view into the kitchen. We started with the Smoking Barrel, mixed with rye, Peychaud's, Angostura, peach bitters, orange peel, and smoked mesquite. The fresh popovers served alongside the first course were airy, warm, and a standout touch on their own. The fried calamari was crisp and tender, served with remoulade, marinara, and grilled lemon. The braised tenderloin hummus was equally well-executed, topped with chili oil, onion ash, and green onions with warm pita. For the mains, both cuts of meat arrived cooked to temperature and seasoned with precision. The 6oz filet mignon came paired with cacio e pepe ravioli, while the 12oz ribeye was served alongside asparagus and marbled potatoes. The wine pairing selections matched the steak courses well without overpowering the plates. Dessert closed out strong. The banana pudding featured a rich banane du Brésil custard, vanilla wafers, and toasted coconut, while the chocolate tart balanced dark chocolate over a hazelnut crust with peanut butter mousse. Food and service were top tier from start to finish. Five stars, and we will be back.

The food was decent. I enjoyed my lamb chops(although more rare in spots), but not the mix that was underneath it. The two that got the salmon said it was ok, a bit overcooked and they also didn't care for the mix underneath. The filet was stupendous and the cowboy was really delicious. They really liked the mac&blue cheese- if you don't like blue cheese, I would steer clear! Portions were good. I guess stick to the steaks! The vanilla/sprinkles circular layered birthday cake with a huge sparkler candle was awesome! It WAS included-complimentary, and it was a large portion!!

Whether you're local or just passing through, this one is worth the stop. Highly recommend.

Not at all worth the price you're paying, severely lacking in flavor, and takes waaaaay Too long to be delivered to your table after ordering. We started with the Texas Trio and we did enjoy that. It is kind of hard to mess up queso, salsa and pimento cheese- however we did say that was one thing we would eat again and was worth its value. My husband and other son bothe ordered cheeseburgers at $22 a pop and both said the burger they get at local pint was a million times better and a lil cheaper. I got the smothered chicken and It was very disappointing! The chicken was so bland it was like a notch above school cafeteria food (seriously) I swapped the rice for mashed potatoes and they were good (not great but good) and the Brussels sprouts which were really tasty but VERY small Portion for price. I've eaten at incredibly high end steak places that charge the same For a side of sprouts and give you more than double what I got tonight at 1845. The birthday boy got a strip steak and potatoes and he gave each of us a bite. $49 for this steak- a good size- but NO FLAVOR at all. Last but certainly not least- our server was nice enough and attentive HOWEVER he had on the Meta glasses that record people and that made our entire table very uncomfortable. My son said he had seen tik tok accounts where waiters record their patrons and post it! (Not saying he was but it definitely changed the atmosphere of our dinner) He also seemed notably disappointed and different after we didn't order the $49 appetizer and no alcohol. Visible mood shift but he did remain professional. All in all, we are baffled by the good reviews. And very very surprised at the quality of product and price point considering Marty Bs coffee has AMAZING food quality and pricing and so does the restaurant, just doesn't seem to be translating to the other establishments. :-(

The Italian meat is an absolute MUST! Super flavorful the sausage was. The spicy sauce isn't that spicy either. I also had the Lobster Mac & Cheese. This is not your typical Mac and cheese.

Overall Drake's is a great time. I loved my time there and I'd happily return the next time I'm in the Dallas area. Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. They do have bar area with TVs if you're looking to catch some sports.
