Al Biernat's North - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My boyfriend and I had dinner for our anniversary last weekend. The inside of the restaurant was nice. Though the downstairs and music was very loud. Upstairs was less loud but we were seated in a huge booth for just the two of us. It was impossible to hear each other. We started out strong with the calamari. The calamari was definitely the most delicious item we got that night. Unfortunately from there it was downhill. For the cost, the steak tasted okay and not as tender as expected. My boyfriend got the American wagyu NY strip. We were at TX roadhouse earlier that week, and the steaks were comparable... I got the Sea bass which was good. The risotto and fish were very rich. The signature potatoes were tasty. The regular Mac and cheese side, I'd skip it. It was not worth ordering. The overall dinner took us about 2 hrs from arriving to leaving. Our order wasn't taken until about 40 mins after being seated... for the cost, I would have rather gone to Perry's or Capital Grill. read more

First and last time trying this restaurant. Over $400 bucks for sub par oysters rockefeller and some underwhelming bread. The drinks were just ok. The filet-just ok. Worst part was the chicken piccata. The chicken had an odd consistency to it, almost congealed or from a can or plant based...i couldn't put my finger on it but i also couldn't eat it. They were nice enough to comp it for me, which i appreciate. Had the apple cobbler for dessert. Are the apples supposed to be undercooked in a cobbler?? Never experienced that before. Just overall, bad. Sad. Don't waste your money. Service was good. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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" read more

Had a great experience at Al Biernat's during a recent visit with a large group. We spent some time in the upstairs lounge area, which is tucked away and has a really nice, more private feel. It was a great spot to start the evening. I kicked things off with the calamari and escargot, both were delicious and a strong start to the meal. For the main course, I split the filet and the ribeye special (non dry-aged) with a friend so we could try both. Both steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly, but I'd give the edge to the ribeye for flavor. On the side, we had the garlic mashed potatoes and the mushroom risotto. The risotto was easily the standout. I could have had two plates of it without hesitation. Overall, this is a great steakhouse with a great atmosphere and very attentive staff. Everything from the food to the service made it a memorable night. Would definitely come back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was ok but not amazing! Service was great ! Nice atmosphere and our waitress was perfect

Al Biernat's North is impressive!!! The best customer service ever. It starts when you park your car and throughout your entire meal. Had the Al's salad which was delicious. Perfect for this time of year. The front desk was very accommodating with my walker and oxygen. My friend got the chicken piccata and said it was great. Big shoutout to Valet. They were most helpful! Our waiter was great. Never made you feel rushed. And knew all about the menu , etc. if you are looking for something to that meets all expectations Run don't walk to Al Biernat's North!!!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

A traditional, typical steakhouse thats more forgettable than enjoyable. It has this laid back feel, while still catering to the old folks who prefer a formal ambiance at the same time. The dining hall is quite different from the bar area in atmosphere, which is fine. Service was hamming up the hospitality a little too much, but it was a slow night, so it makes sense they were giving us extra attention. You can self park at the next door lot, which is spillover to the hotel. There isnt clear signage that you can park for Al Biernat's but management ensured me this was OK. I think its silly they offer valey parking, but I guess it comes with the territory. The cocktails we had were pretty good. Refreshing and straightforward in their approach. The caesar salad here is just OK. The salad is not nearly as crisp and fresh as it could be. The flavors of the dressing and fixings could have had more pop in flavor. The night I went had elk chops as a special course. I was feeling adventurous and said sure. The elk chop was OK, but wasnt nearly as juicy as I would have hoped. It wasnt dry, but it also on that thin line of beggining to be overcooked. The best part of the dish was the mushroom risotto, which had a rich, broth-like taste. While its not terrible, its not going to be my first choice anytime soon. read more

Simply WOW! My wife and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary at Al Biernat's and they truly pulled out all the stops. When we arrived, Sam immediately wished us "Happy Anniversary" before sitting us at our beautiful table, that was topped with a heart made of rose petals. Our waiter, Matt Fontana, was exceptional from the start and could have not been more attentive or friendly. He made the night truly special and gave us excellent suggestions on one of the best meals of our life. James Gee the manager also checked in on us twice and was kind and warm, ensuring we were having the best night possible. The staff overall made the experience truly unique and memorable. The food was AWESOME! We shared the Tomahawk Steak, which was cooked to perfection, as well as the pear and wedge salads and the delicious Lobster Risotto and Brussel Sprouts. Right when we thought the night couldn't get any better, Matt presented us with complimentary Champagne before we indulged in two scrumptious desserts, the bread pudding and the peanut butter banana cream pie. We tried our best but couldn't finish them both as much as we wanted to. We highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or just have one of the best meals in Dallas! read more

One word ..Whack!!!!! Wow total disappointment, I would have expected more from a high- end steakhouse. They started us off with bread for the table and let me tell you basic and cold, for a steakhouse the bread should be on point. We had two things from the happy hour the ceviche and the burger. I don't know if they are working with 100% lean or bison -- but this burger was so dry , not because it was overcooked but because of the ground beef. Ufffff Ceviche was nothing to rave about, something I could have made at home. And the service , RUNNNN They won't be seeing my face again ! read more

Shrimp cocktails, pork chops and asparagus were good. Not as good as at 3 Forks. More affordable than 3 Forks. Bartenders, waiters and bus boys were overly aggressive wanting to take away glasses and plates that were clearly not ready to be removed. I was rushed 2 nights in a row. read more

Everything they rave about Al Biernat's is true. The service from Danny was beyond exceptional! The food was puuuurfectly plated & every bite was better than the last. A true love affair was created! The blackened prawns were so yummy I could have had just that alone & been satisfied! However I'm a foodie so up next were the crab cakes! They were very flavorful & not full of breading which is preferred when you love Maryland crab cakes! I'm a crabby snob, so what haha. This is definitely a place for 1st dates to impress that maybe special someone. A great place to celebrate special occasions and most definitely great for happy hour mingling. If you're new, be sure to say hi to Danny the bar hubby so he can fill your alcohol tank if it's empty! Cheers This restaurant is #BarbieApproved read more

I have eaten here twice, both for dinner and for lunch. We normally frequent the original location near downtown Dallas.

Al Biernat's is a great place for exceptional food and drink. read more

This place is the definition of elegant and classy. From the moment we arrived, the valet team was incredibly helpful and welcoming, setting the tone for what immediately felt like it was going to be a fantastic dinner--and it absolutely was. The entrance alone builds excitement and delivers on the promise of a special experience. I dined with a group of about 12, and our server, Steve, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and seamlessly coordinated with his team to ensure every detail was executed perfectly. As someone who is gluten-free, I felt completely confident in his guidance and the chef's ability to accommodate my needs. I chose the red snapper and asked Steve to surprise me with a Mediterranean-style preparation. The dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked red snapper paired with asparagus, capers, and a lovely red sauce that brought everything together. To top it all off, dessert was a dream. The flourless chocolate cake was scrumptious and served with a perfect selection of fresh fruit. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience from start to finish. read more

Halibut + Linguine, Caesar Salad, Coconut Cream Pie Al Biernat's has been on my list forever and I was not disappointed!!

My husband and I went here for our wedding anniversary. They set us next to a group of ladies that were celebrating a birthday. I'm not sure if some of them were influencers or bloggers but they had these huge lights connected to their phones and they were constantly making videos which we are in the background. It was so uncomfortable and it completely ruined our evening. The restaurant did absolutely nothing and let them continue to record every moment of their dining experience. I know the table behind us was also very frustrated with it because the light was blinding. I will say the food was good. But unfortunately, the ladies were constantly staring at us almost wanting us to react to all of their blogging. It was very uncomfortable and a waste of $250 meal. read more

This place was good. But nothing extraordinary. Just another Dallas upscale steakhouse, with an unnecessary dress code. Deduct a star just for this rule. I'd dress appropriately anyways but to have such a rule is ridiculous imo. Ribeye was fine, nothing different from Ruth Chris or Nicks etc. the service was extremely slow and i don't know if our server was new or what, but the guy came around 3 times to ask if we wanted bread, and all 3 times the response was "yes". 3rd time was the charm for some underwhelming table bread. Out of all the steakhouses in Dallas, this one was the most underwhelming from my experience. Came here for anniversary dinner, wasn't acknowledged by staff nor a drink or sweets offered. Not that I was expecting it but what's the point of asking for the occasion while having us chase for crap table bread. Won't be returning. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Al Biernat's ever since moving to Texas, and it has always been my favorite steakhouse. Whenever friends visit from out of town, I tell them this is the place they must experience. That's why I chose Al Biernat's to celebrate my 40th birthday--a milestone that carries deep meaning for me, especially as I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy for the second time. Chemo has been really rough, and because of that we had to move the reservation twice. On the day of the dinner, I even called to confirm, but for some reason they had me down for Saturday instead of Wednesday. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us despite the busy holiday season, which I truly appreciated. I'm a big foodie, and considering what I'm going through, I rarely have moments where I can truly enjoy a meal. That's why this night mattered so much to me. We arrived early for our 7:00 reservation and enjoyed sitting at the bar. Unfortunately, the drinks were disappointing--the espresso martini was poorly made, and the dirty martini with blue cheese olives looked rushed and messy. Once seated, service was attentive and warm, but the food was inconsistent. The mussels arrived with several still closed, which should have been caught before serving. My fiancé's scallops were outstanding--truly the best we've ever had. My steak, however, had to be sent back twice: first for being overcooked, then for being raw. I had requested medium-rare, but the kitchen couldn't get it right. What surprised me most was that the steak wasn't taken care of after being sent back twice--it took a third attempt before it finally came out correctly. For over 20+ years, I worked in every aspect of the restaurant industry--from serving to bartending and even managing before I left about five years ago. I understand that mistakes happen, but when a dish is sent back multiple times, it deserves extra care and attention. That's why this experience stood out to me. When it came to dessert, I asked for crème brûlée with the warm caramelized top but without the extra powdered sugar that usually comes with it. My body doesn't respond well to powdered sugar in raw form, so I was clear about that request. The first one arrived cold, and the second was no better. By that point, I was ready to call it a night. As I was leaving, one of the servers even recognized me as someone who used to be in the industry. On the other hand, another staff member wished me a happy anniversary instead of a happy birthday--a small but telling detail on a night that was meant to be special. Considering Al Biernat's was just voted one of the top 50 restaurants in the country a few weeks ago, and given that I've been dining here regularly for the last 10 years, I expected at least the consistent level of service I've always received--or ideally, a little more for such a milestone occasion. While the service was commendable, the booth was excellent and certain dishes shined, the execution in the kitchen and attention to detail fell short. As someone who has always championed Al Biernat's, I left honestly disappointed. Which is why I'm writing this review now. For this milestone occasion, I can only rate the experience a 6 out of 10. I'll be back hopefully one day, but I'll have to seriously consider it before I do. read more

One of our favorite places in Dallas! While DDW has a lot of restaurants, it's definitely quantity over quality. We've had a lot more bad meals than good, but that's never the case at Al Biernat's! Every single thing we've had here is amazing. My husband ordered breakfast last weekend, and I tried his bacon. It felt like the first time I've had real bacon in a decade, lol! My go to meal is the shrimp and mango ceviche. A must! Their mojitos are fabulous (thanks, Griff), and their bread basket is a must. Also highly recommend the raw oysters. We love to finish with double espressos and tiramisu. All of their desserts are fantastic, and you can't go wrong no matter which one you choose. Make sure to say hi to the manager, Marty, when you're there. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, something that's definitely lacking at other establishments. Highly, highly recommend Al Biernat's! read more

My husband got the filet mignon with blue cheese and I got the filet with lobster thermidor . The Lobster was the star of the show. It was so good, I would come back for that.
