A while after I posted my review for Bartlett's, I moved in Louisiana. I knew that there was a Houston restaurant in New Orleans. When I check their menu, however, it was not nearly as expensive as the original Houston's menu at Barlett's. Regrettably they did not have the Asian style chicken salad that I love so much. This was so disappointing that I'm sure that I will never go to the Houston to New Orleans. However, whenever I visit, friends and family in Austin, Texas, Barlett's will be at the top of my list of places that I want to go eat so I can get my favorite salad again. By the way, the five stars on this review is for Barlett's in Austin. read more

We had a farewell luncheon with a friend today and chose Barlett's as our location. We're very glad we did! Steaks were on point and cooked to perfection. The Spinach w/Reggiano was an excellent accompaniment and the Belle Glos "Clark and Telegraph" Pinot Noir superb. Shout out to Natalia for great service with a big smile! We'll be back! read more

Always terrific food and service, great all around experience -- and the best EVER chicken tenders. In the regular rotation of favorites. For those in know, the location spawned off the Houston's restaurant group that has locations throughout the country (some that remain Houston's, others that go by Hillstone, and this location in Austin that's Bartlett's). Bartlett's continues to deliver the same warm atmosphere with high quality in a consistent and polished manner... and to my biggest and most pleasant surprise, Bartlett's still serves the magical CHICKEN TENDERS (note, lunch only) that seems to have been discontinued, or forgotten, at other Houston's/Hillstone locations. Everything on the menu has been awesome, other standout favorites include the French Dip, Grilled Salmon, and the Spinach Artichoke dip. See you there! read more

If you know the Hillstone/Houston's group and that's what you're in the mood for, come to Bartlett's. It's not in the hippest part of town, but that also means there's ample parking. The restaurant is big but always packed - so definitely reserve in advance. Easily a wonderful pick for a date night, special occasion, but also just a special week day dinner. The spinach artichoke dip is out of this world and the 100 hour steak is a must get (unless you're a total steak purist). The service here is polished, but not cold. Our waitress, Natalie, was responsive, speedy, and so kind - she definitely made the night a success. read more

The location of this restaurant for such an amazing steak house was pretty weird! You won't expect such a high end place in the middle of raggedy shopping center.. but boy don't ever judge the book by its cover! First glance when we walked in they have a low light setting, very romantic feel to the restaurant! We were greeted by the host and seated right away. The staff was very attentive and friendly and our server Michael was very very very knowledgeable when it comes to their menu and drink selection!! He knows in and out and very very detailed of the wine, whiskey, and everything you can imagine! And also the food; where the fish from, what kind of wood it cooks in, what kind of water they grow in, just very exceptional and exceeds expectations!! Husband and I were impressed for sure! We ordered grilled artichoke for starter that they grilled on top of the wood because that chary wood burning taste is definitely there and super delicious! And then we moved on to the fish of the day which was trout and it was filet in the middle and also was grilled on top of wood; it was very crispy skin w tender meat and was literally cooked to perfection! Meat was glistening and flaky! Just melts in your mouth! Then my husband ordered the prime rib w baked potato! Plus lobster tail! Which was for me was the highlight of the meal! But everything was to die for! And we couldn't pick one winner because all was exceptional! We did asked them to put the prime rib on the wood for very little time for it to have that wood taste to it and boy that did not disappoint a bit!! It was probably one of the best experience I have in a while when it comes to fine dining! Oh and the price was also very good!! They really should charge twice as much for that kind of service they provide!! And here is what I also love; not once they make you feel like you're in a hurry that they are closing or they need to go home or anything like that! We came in at 8:45 and we were there till 10:30 and they were 5/6 tables still around and they close at 10. I thought they treated us like royalty and that's pretty amazing! They deserve all the praise! And more than 5stars!! I will definitely come back when I come to Austin! Thank you guys for one excellent dining experience! Cheers read more

Why visit Bartlett's? Excellent atmosphere, no loud music, and the staff cares about your experience.

Came for a late lunch! One of the favorite places for my and my boyfriend! Why? It's consistent. Both good and service. Seating is still social distanced which is comfortable. We had the chimichurri steak (sub for side of broccoli) sand-which and chicken grilled salad! We also added a side of beets! Everything is DELICIOUS AND HIT THE SPOT! Will be be back! read more

We enjoy coming here because they provide a true sense of a classic steakhouse with the perfect combination of refined customer service, high quality food and the vibe and buzz of a place where you know everyone is enjoying themselves. After being seated, we ordered our cocktails which, like you expect from such a place, were stellar. Our grilled artichoke starter was a standout as always (especially the remoulade sauce), and our beef main courses were cooked to the requested temperatures and were absolutely succulent. Their meat is clearly of high quality; I only ordered a 5 Oz tenderloin which was perfectly cooked and seasoned but was so rich I couldn't even finish it all. I could immediately see that Edwyn's prime rib was also cooked perfectly, and we were both very pleased. Because we were satisfied and starting to feel a little drowsy, we decided to get the check and no dessert. After our recent Sunday afternoon disappointments, it was nice to finally enjoy some delicious food and cocktails in such a lovely place. And another great thing is that you can enjoy all of this for half the price of most other steak places. This and Eddie V's at the Arboretum are our two favorite places for steak in Austin because they provide a rare professionalism that takes the event to another level and makes it even more special. read more

Asian Tuna salad mostly an herb dish with very little noodles or mango. I hope you like mint & cilantro ALOT as it overwhelmed everything. $35 for a salad?!? I think the 'Big Salad' on Seinfeld would be embarrassed. read more

4.5/5 We are big Bartlett's fans and dine here a few times a year. It feels really fancy in there but perhaps much like Austin dining, you only need a few steps above flip flops and muscle tees to fit in. At 45 years old, I felt REALLY young in there, however this is a fan favorite of long time locals of all ages. You can't go wrong with their steak chimichuri sandwich and shoestring fries. It's one of the staples of their menu. Any of their grilled beef will be a winner. They frequently have a sundae dessert or key lime pie available that you should always opt for. Although their prices have gone up like every other place in town, the service, consistency, and relaxed atmosphere still make this a regular on our rotation. I recommend! read more

So consistently good!!! Even when I switch up my order. Wish I would've ate here sooner. read more

Surprised I have not written a review about one of my experiences at Bartlett's. I took my wife here to have lunch and were seated quickly where we arrived just after they opened for the day. This restaurant is high end and suggest wearing your business casual attire. The place is also kept dark with some ambient lighting, and the dark wood overtones do not help either. Luckily we were seated next to a window so could read the menu. But it's all about the intimate setting atmosphere as a place to take your date whether it's your wife, girlfriend or mistress to and where the old Austin mobsters used to hang out back when the place was called Houston's. :) There is a very nice bar to enjoy a fine drink. In the past I remember reading this was one of the best bar scenes in Austin. We did not have reservations and really not needed for lunch but would do so for dinner. This restaurant does not do brunch so get your mimosa and avocado toast somewhere else. The menu is loaded with rich tasting delights and started off with a glass of Zenato. I ended up selecting the Idaho Rainbow Trout. Service here is excellent and attentive to our needs. When our food arrived it looked devouring and smelled good. My trout was the best tasting fish I have had in a very long time. It had so much flavor to it and could sing song about it. It came with wilted spinach which also was a delight. My wife had the Barbecue Pork Ribs and they were delicious too. It was definitely worth the price fir coming here. The food here is first-rate and will recommended it for visitors from out of town. read more

I wouldn't expect the steak to be amazing at such an unassuming place but the filet was truly great. Cooked to perfection with an amazing flavor. read more

Long term customer of Bartleett's 30 plus years, Wife and I had dinner there last night. Cocktails were good but wife cut finger on broken glass which she brought to attention of bartender, bartender made wife a new drink. Appetizer was excellent we always have the spinach dip. I usually get the prime rib but I have always seen the 100 hour marinated ribeye steak on the menu so I tried it, it was advertised to be 14 ounces but it was more like 8 ounce and very thin cut, bottom line it was a disappointment! So I will go back to the prime rib next time I visit this restaurant. Overall a disappointing night! Gary Delz read more

An absolute favorite of ours and this time was to celebrate a birthday! We made a reservation only because we had a large group but there seemed to be plenty of seating available for mid week lunch time. From the home feel atmosphere of booths and tables, this is a great place to celebrate all occasions. The food was delicious, from the 100-day old marinated ribeye, the chicken tender platter, French dip, and cheeseburger! A must try for us next time are their fish dishes as it looked amazing served to the table next to us. The key lime pie was a perfect ending to celebrate a birthday! Parking was plentiful with access to the shopping center. Lastly, service here is helpful with recommendations and even remembered our name from our last visit. A must try and we will return. Enjoy! read more

Service is Amazing, Food is above average and ambiance is nice. We live in southwest Austin but drive there often for lunch or dinner. It's a ways but worth it! read more

I wish I had taken a picture. I had the Asian noodle salad with chicken and it was amazing! 10/10 flavor and freshness. I can't wait to go back and eat it again. The flavorful herbs and crunchy lettuce with peanuts and a tangy dressing with noodles and chicken were fantastic. I had had the spinach artichoke dip as a starter and it was solid. My husband had the prime rib and loved it and I had a bite of the mashed potatoes and they were delicious. Makes sense why it is so busy! We will be back soon! read more

When I'm in the Anderson area and don't know what I want to eat I always end up at Bartlett's and I'm always happy I did. It's a nice steak house with reasonable prices and more than just steak. I always get the tuna tartar anywhere that serves it and Bartlett's tuna tartar is great. Their spinach artichoke dip is also a favorite of mine. Bartlett's is great for a special occasion, but I've also stopped in for lunch wearing shorts after shopping and that works here too. They take reservations and if you're going to come in for dinner, especially on the weekend, you should make one. The wait is never so long but it's nice to not have to wait at all. If you do find yourself stopping in last minute, they have a great bar section where you can get a drink while you wait. read more

This is the exact same menu as Houston's restaurant and I was sooo happy to find that out. We went and had about 5-7 of my favorite items and all were fantastic. My favorite new addition was the pear martini sooo delicious! read more

I love everything about Bartlett's. The atmosphere is dimly lit and swanky, love the huge wood beams on the ceiling. Right when you walk in you smell the deliciousness of food being grilled over mesquite. Everything we've had here has been wonderful but the grilled artichoke app is beyond great. The prime rib is always perfectly cooked and the Asian salad is excellent. Also great drinks and service. Can't recommend Bartlett's enough. read more

I really wanted to like this place as it's one of my girlfriend's favorites. She treated me to a birthday dinner here and it started out great as we were seated promptly and someone came right over to take our drink order. Then the actual service. I received the wrong entree and when the waiter came to check on us, he did make sure to take it back and get it corrected but then did not ever check back in afterwards. Oh and the food was good-ish and not great. read more

The French dip The food here is GOOD. No matter what you get, it'll be good, I promise. The bar and the bartenders are outstanding and they definitely know what they're doin'! The service is top notch and they are fast to check on you. The building is cute and a little old school. We love coming here for a "fancier" dinner for special occasions. 10/10 for Bartlett's. read more

Hands down the best restaurant in town. Our server Bradly told us we won the server lottery because he's been working there off and on since 2004. Super impressed by his guidance and knowledge of everything. He got us exactly what we wanted. We even told him to choose our meal because he was so confident in the food. Bradly was very genuine, knowledgeable, and confident in everything he told us about. Great service is a lost art these days. We hit it off because my name is Brad and he's Bradly. Very witty and made us laugh after a long day at work. We will be back to see Bradly. Kudos to the chefs. Everything is amazing. read more

Hands down the best restaurant in all of Austin!! Aaron is absolutely the BEST server I've ever had here! Been coming to Bartlett's for over 20 years and love the food/atmosphere. Sadly the best bartender, Joe, retired. Can't go wrong with the burger & fries. read more

Exactly what I was looking for in a favorite go to steakhouse! A broad range of entrees and sides. Unique and authentic flavors. Great house drinks. Nice wine selection. Experienced, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. The patrons ranged from newborns to nonagenarians. The facility was buzzing with conversation and happy patrons. Well done! read more

The food was fantastic, from start to finish. Ambiance was wonderful and we could easily hear each other talk. The dining service was great. However, at the end of our meal, the hostess came over stood in front of our table and tapped her nails on her iPad device, sort of staring at us or right above us. We asked her if she needed anything, she said "no" and kept doing it. It was beyond awkward so we asked her again and she said, "I'm not allowed to ask to leave" and continued to stand there until we stood up. Uhhhh ok. Apparently they needed the table (which there were not people waiting up front and it was 9pm). As someone who used to manage a fine dining restaurant, I would be mortified if my staff handled the situation this way. What was a wonderful dining experience quickly turned very awkward and rude; that is what is going to last in our memory. Note to the manager, don't do this. There are other, friendlier, ways to handle that situation. I have no desire to return after this experience. read more

We love Bartlett's! The grilled artichokes are a must; perfectly cooked and the dipping sauce is perfect. The french dip is always a winner. The noodle salad didn't have many noodles this time but the flavors are on point. A great place for a consistently delicious experience. read more

The food here is truly outstanding. We began our meal with the spinach artichoke dip and smoked salmon, both of which were delicious. I ordered the French dip au jus sandwich, a house specialty, which was perfectly cooked. We enjoyed the apple walnut cobbler for dessert, a fantastic way to end our meal. Our server, Harrison, was incredibly attentive, keeping our drinks full and providing exceptional service. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience--a true hidden gem in Austin. read more

Food is consistently good. Never disappointed. The freshest ground hamburger meat I've ever had. Only thing that I would mention as a con...the cocktails are hit or miss. read more

Cheeseborger, cheeburger. Cheeps. Pepsi. No, Coke! This review is just for the cheeseburger. It is excellent. I highly recommend it. It is fat, on a sesame bun.

10/10 always. My hubbie and I's go to date night place! Hickory burger is like no other and paired with shoestring fries is the best! Ask for extra hickory sauce on the side for the burger. YUM! We love sitting at the bar or in the dining area. The ribs are a must try too. So tasty. We typically enjoy their spinach/artichoke dip for an appetizer. They MUST bring back the decaf raspberry hibiscus tea. Love that tea! My hubbie loves their strip steak - his favorite steak in Austin! read more

Service was spectacular at lunch. They are currently utilizing half of their tables so there was a small wait. Well worth waiting to get my Chichurri Steak sandwich and side of Cole slaw. I also had the 1/2 sized Ceasar salad. It was terrific. Everything is fresh and made to perfection at Bartletts. I rate a restaurant as 5 Star when everything comes together to make for a perfect experience. If anything is less than ideal it drags the rating down to 4 or less. Everything was perfect on this trip to Bartletts. The Chimichurri steak sandwich was cooked as ordered and had rich flavor when the chimichurri sauce was added. Sides were great as well. I can't wait to return. read more
