Came here for lunch. The restaurant has a nice ambiance with spacious booths. Service was outstanding. Had the prime rib which was delicious. It said it was a 12 oz cut, but I think it was much more. Will definitely come back read more

Bartlett's never disappoints! The food is always delicious. We had salads traditional and a tuna salad that was supposed to be chicken but my wife swapped it out for tuna. Both were great. We also had a crab cake app and the spinach and artichoke dip. My son had the prime rib sandwich and I had the bbq ribs. We enjoyed it all. My wife tried the pear martini and liked it a lot. The service was exceptional as always. Our waitress Alexa was great! Pleasant and accommodating as well as well versed on the menu. The restaurant itself is very nice and feels like a high end place without any pretentiousness. We always have to stop here when we are in Austin. read more

Beautiful filet, always perfectly cooked. Ambiance is nice and dark, staff goes above and beyond. The vibe is very pro kitchen.

Been enjoying this place for a looong time, going back to era of 'Houstons'. Noticed how involved Management was from seating guests, delivering their food, engaging various tables needs which likely contributes to the great energy and vibe of staff and place! One of the best in town!! My families favorite. read more

The fries were surprisingly delicious. They actually seasoned them so I didn't feel the need to use ketchup which was nice. I've never had swordfish before and while it wasn't bad I think this sandwich would've worked better with fried fish instead of grilled fish. It was weirdly wet and the bun sort of fell apart at the end. We got the spinach artichoke dip as well and I think I prefer the ones you'd get cheaper restaurants because this one seemed to be lacking in the creaminess category. Our server was really good though. read more

It may not be the hippest spot in town, but this place never disappoints. Their food is excellent (I've never had a bad dish), and the service is wonderful. If nothing else, go for the key lime pie - it's the best I've ever had. read more

I picked up my order (#221) earlier this evening and I have to say, I was incredibly disappointed. The salad container was only half full, so it appears I got a side salad even though my order (see below) was for a full one. And the soup had exactly (I kid you not, because I counted) just THREE pieces of chicken...and they were small to boot. After spending more than $30 for soup and salad, I expected much better. I'm a regular customer, both in your restaurant and in to-go orders, and this is the first time I've had to complain. I realize you're a pricey place, but I usually get what I pay for. But to say what I got for $30 was unacceptable would be an understatement. DO BETTER. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. Very enjoyable evening. Able to converse as the sound level was perfect.

This may be my favorite place to get a steak ever. It's always cooked to perfection and the taste is always on point. Whenever I come here it's about eating till I can barely breath. The service is always top notch and the food, never disappointing. I remember my first time here and have been back probably 20 times since then. Now that I moved back home to California for work, I always hit Bartlett's whenever I visit Austin. Whether I go with my family or with my friends, the go-to's are always the House Smoked Salmon, the Spinach Artichoke Dip and the House Marinated Steak. There are tons of other great options that we have tried, but why mess with perfection? If it's not on your list of places to eat when you go to Austin, I recommend adding it. read more

We went here for lunch on a Friday. We ordered chicken tortilla soup, steak sandwich, and the French dip sandwich. Everything was great! The only drawback was it was pretty dark inside for the middle of the day. That may not bother some, just a personal preference. There is a good amount of space inside, so it could be a good spot for a group! Also, the portions were a good size so we left with some leftovers! Lastly, there's a parking lot, so parking is easy. I would definitely go back! read more

The service is great and the food was perfect. I had porterhouse and the garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert I had the key lime pie which was so good. Everything there is delicious read more

We came here for my birthday dinner and loved the vibe of this place! It's very dark and romantic.. the food is reasonably priced and our waiter was amazing. My sister got the pork chops.. husband had the burger.. and I got the steak. All were cooked to perfection and you definitely can't beat that baked potato.. so good. The spinach dip was also a huge hit! We will for sure be back :) read more

Even with a reservation, we had to wait while the staff cleaned tables before we were seated. Ordered the club sandwich- meh. I could have made the same sandwich at home. I would not order again. read more

I wanted to update my initial review after having visited Bartlett's several times. Every experience has been consistently excellent in terms of food quality and service. It's truly a standout. I now bring my out of town guests here when I want to make a great impression. Highly recommended. read more

Austin is an amazing city. I had BBQ at multiple places, but wanted a good steak. Wow, Bartlett's did not disappoint. I had the ribeye that was marinated in their special pineapple mixture. The steak was cooked perfectly. I rarely finish my meal, but I ate every bite of that steak. The Chef stopped by my table and I complimented him on the meal preparation. My server was Natalie. She was an awesome server. She knew the menu, ingredients and even the wine list. I had the Daou Cabernet. She recommended a few desserts, and I chose the warm nutty brownie. I thought I would eat one bite, but found myself eating most of it! If you find yourself in Austin, TX, make a reservation at Bartlett's and request to be seated in Natalie's section. Natalie was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and very personable! read more

Have come here a lot. I am the Duke I have checked in so much. Probably only checked in 1/3 the time. So it pains me to write this. But they just can't get no salt right of late. Last two trips... salt on Trout. Please improve your process. Train. "Trout no seasoning." "Yes chef." read more

Artichokes are bomb! Pear martini is magical! Swiss mushroom burger was a bit soggy, my other client got the veggie burger which looked on point. I had their seared ahi tuna salad. It came out with red onions despite me asking for none, and it was the little chopped pieces, not the rings so I tried to eat around them. The tuna was a little over seared for my liking and just made me feel like the dish was over priced at $25.. I've had similar dishes other places that I enjoyed more. I'll be back for those chokes and tinis though! read more

This is an overdue review but we came here on Valentine's Day and boy was it packed. I was surprised that there wasn't any special Valentine's Day menu but it's not a big deal. We ordered the pate appetizer which came with toasted crips and raspberry sauce. The raspberry sauce did have a spicy kick to it which was unique. I thought this item was interesting but only worth a few bites. I wouldn't recommend this unless you really like pate. For the menu entrees we got the house marinated ribeye and barbecue prime rib. I thought both were very good and portion was very generous. The ribeye was cooked to perfection of medium well and had a teriyaki marinated taste to it. Of the two, I would highly recommend the ribeye. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic occasion. They have booth, table, and bar seating with the restaurant being fairly spacious. Parking is limited behind the restaurant but you can always find parking in the front. read more

Extremely disappointed. My family and I went to eat at this restaurant today as we have in the past. We sat for over 10 mins before someone who was not our assigned server came to take a drink order. We waited and waited and Susan never showed up so the same person our order. I should note that we were seated next to a manager who was eating his lunch so he should have noticed that we were not being served. Susan eventually showed up but didn't introduce herself or apologize for the long wait. I noticed that other tables were greeted and drink orders were then within 2-3 minutes of sitting down. Also the managers made their way to most tables but we were skipped. We were the only family of color. Perhaps that was the issue- who knows. But I am highly disappointed and we will likely not return. read more

This is the best kept secret in North Austin - I am thrilled that I have now experienced Bartletts and bummed that I have missed out. The staff is impressive - special shout out to Jordan on recommendations and making us feel special. The food was so yummy- I ordered the French dip which melted in my mouth. The horseradish was just right the au jus had flavor- thank you. I felt like I could go there myself too. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Excellent food and service every time we go. French dip is the best in town, prime rib was outstanding. You can't go wrong here.

Bartletts has a special place in my heart. It is a regular place I go. I love their white fish specials, classic cheeseburger and of course the famous French dip. Everything I've gotten is always fresh and delicious. The hot fudge sundae might sound boring but the rich fudge, light milky ice cream and candied nuts make it one of my favorite desserts. My vegan bf joined me and got the veggie burger which he said is the best he's ever had. The service is always amazing and no words can be said to explain the very enjoyable dining experience provided. check it out for yourself, you won't regret it. read more

Eaten at the restaurant, taken to go, no matter what, Bartlett's is the right call. I've eaten the prime rib sandwich more times than I want to admit, but I won't apologize for it. It's possibly the best sandwich in Austin. Shut up, you know it is, so stop arguing. Oh and the spinach and artichoke dip? Boom, who wouldn't want to eat that on a daily basis?! Don't forget to grab some key lime pie if you want to be happy. read more

Ordered the Apricot Glaze Chicken for lunch. Perfectly cooked and a hefty portion. Truly the best chicken I have ever had. The quinoa was delicious as a side. Top tier eats read more

I know this place is just a little old fashion. I have to admit I like the food the service and the attention to detail that this place offers. They have a dress code sign on the door, but I have yet to see someone who was not served due to their attire. One of my favorite things to order is the smoked salmon. I am told that they smoke it in house and if that is true, good for them their product is the delicious. It is served with crackers, chopped red onion, capers and also a chef dressing. This dressing is more like a spread and adds a bit of delicious creaminess to the dish. I like to pair the smoked salmon with a baked potato with all the fixings. To be honest is is more food then I can finish in one sitting but the salmon will keep in the icebox and is always tasty the next day. read more

It's been 5 years since my last review and I've been more times than I care to admit. Still a great wine list, still fantastic service, still busy at peak times. Roast beef dip has been "meh" since the new owners took over. Roast beef feels overcooked and au jus is bland. I'll keep coming. Maybe it's just a change over adjustment. read more

Disappointing. I had lot of hopes going in but extremely disappointed. Both prime rib and filet mignon lacked seasoning, caesar salad was okay. Ruined My New year celebration. Never coming back. I don't understand how this place has such nice reviews which made clear that reviews can be deceiving read more

The only reason this restaurant is getting a 4 because the waitress we had never checked on us and when she did , she would forget items we ordered or requested. I had to find someone else to ask for our check . However , came here for a late dinner at 8pm with a friend & we both ordered the Hawaiian ribeye with mashed potatoes and a side Caesar salad ! The steaks were cooked to perfection. We also ordered the jalapeño Paloma ! Very delicious! I would definitely come in again for the food & drinks ! read more

A noteable representative of the high-end steakhouse. Excellent steaks and also seafood. A wider selection of vegetables and seafood than most steakhouses. Our host took us here for the roasted artichokes that were superb. Service was knowledgeable and attentive. Relaxed, Cody and convivial atmosphere. We felt we had the table for the evening, without being rushed. read more

Well I am traveling in Austin and I have been craving a steak all day. I look up steakhouses on yelps and this Bartlett S comes up with good reviews I was not far so I gave it a try. SOOOOOO disappointed, I planned on paying a good chunk of cash for a good steak but $49 for a tasteless over cooked ribeye was sad. I will say the martini was good. The $14 salad was worthless and again the steak was just awful. NO flavor. I usually am happy with yelp recommendations but this time I'd have been better off at McDonald's. I would say take your hard earned dollars somewhere else, Bartletts is not worth the stop. read more

I was craving steak and this hit the spot. Bartlett's is very similar to Houston's Restaurant (I think maybe in the same restaurant group). The *best* pear martini!! Pricey at $11, but I am sure all the markups are for the service provided. I had a petite filet mignon and crab cake with wilted spinach. My husband had the ribs and shoestring fries. We shared a hot spinach and artichoke dip. If you have some spare change to splurge, give Bartlett's a go. I would also recommend a reservation on Friday and Saturday evenings. read more

Bartlett is a wonderful place to go on special occasions, with out of towners, or just for a great meal. Both the cheeseburgers and the veggie burgers are fantastic. On the two times I've had the fish special. It's been wonderful. Of course they're known for their Keylime pie. The people are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and not too loud. Although it's a little pricey, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I gotta go all in here. The service industry is getting some brutal gut punches. Sadly many cannot staff up and deliver. Our Bartlett's Christmas Eve dinner was stellar. It was clear mgmt had cored down tables and resy's so staff could maintain I high level or service and quality. Well done. Tim, our wait staff, was suburb and the Ribeye done was top of the mark. Hang in there! read more

Dude. The people that said, eat the French dip... They were not wrong. It is delicious. I wish I had taken some photos of it...medium pink in the center... it was a masterpiece. Unfortunately, I was so caught up in my conversation, I totally forgot to put it in the horseradish sauce until the very last five bites. But, oh what bites they were :-) I was also lucky enough to share a crabcake, which is super delicious, be sure to ask for some remoulade... And to snag a bite of the ahi off my partners plate. It was absolutely melt in your mouth. And they are not joking when they tell you the Apple walnut cobbler? With ice cream is phenomenal... really really great meal, great service, great time all around. 100% recommend read more

Always excellent food. I usually get the filet with garlic mashed potatoes, but if crab cakes are available, try them. Huge chunks of lump crab. Scrumptious! Servers very knowledgeable about wine choices. And if you dare, get the Brandy Alexander for dessert. It's made with ice cream and is the best in the state! read more

09/16/2023: PERFECT!!! That's what describes last night's experience at Bartlett's. My wife ordered the Fish and Shrimp with a small Caesar salad and I got their Famous French Dip sandwich. Everything cooked to perfection!! Our waiter Jeff L was right there every we needed something. An EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE (Again). Have been coming here since 1984 and never a bad experience. read more

Across the parking lot from Hopdoddy but with a much shorter line, this is the real best burger in Austin. Perfect meat, veggies, and condiments combine into something simply magical. I don't know why it isn't on more "best burger Austin" lists; it is the real thing! True, the thin fries are disappointing, but you can substitute a killer baked potato, so I can't believe that's the problem here. Maybe the real problem is that Bartlett's does so many things well! At this restaurant, the wonderful burger isn't even the best thing on the menu. read more

The food, drink and service were all exceptional. I'm sure to return soon. The lack of music won't deter me.
