The steak was amazing! Great presentation and cooked to perfection. However, the lobster mac & cheese was a let down. They put tarragon in the mac & cheese and it just throws off the flavor. Otherwise, the service was excellent and the place has an elevated feel to it. read more

Went in mid December, and they were out of key menu items... which they blamed the time of year. If you know that youre busy around that time of year order a bit more. Simple. Service was good while we were there but we did end up leaving since what we wanted was unavailable read more

Service was impeccable, very happy about that. We had Pedro taking care of us and he was very attentive. When visiting restaurants, I always feel like I get never taken seriously due to my youth and my table would not be prioritized or treated with care, so very satisfied that wasn't the case here. We ordered the tomahawk, creamed corn, and lobster Mac and cheese to share. My friend also got the blackberry smash (tasted like sour jolly ranchers). The food was ok, I was not super impressed by it, but I'm also not unhappy with it. The lobster Mac and cheese did not have traces of lobster, and it tasted like pho lol. The cream corn was good, can't really go wrong with that. The steak was cooked fine. Overall, love the ambiance and service. Great place to take a friend for a celebratory dinner. read more

This place is TOP TIER fine dining. The ambiance is so classy, and the staff are super professional and polite. I went to have dinner with my family that were visiting from out of town, and they were craving steak. They had so many options to choose from, along with lobster add ons! We enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese, cream corn and asparagus for our sides. Everything was cafe to perfection. I was pleased with the amount of attention from the managerial staff to ensure we were having a great experience. Also the desserts were all so yummy! I enjoyed the chocolate cake, but I did did my fork in the bread pudding as well. read more

This was my contended for best steak when I lived in Austin (on par with Jeffrey's). I could always count on a perfect ribeye steak when I went here - perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked (true medium rare if requested whereas most places do too "medium"), and an excellent fatty cut of meat. read more

Food was amazing! Service was amazing! Get the kings truffle butter..totally worth it!

My fiancée and I celebrated our 9th anniversary and could not be more pleased. The service and food at III Forks in Austin were outstanding. Eric the manager with his nice bow tie stopped by our table to congratulate us and say hello. Marie Steele, our server, was very personable, attentive and informative about the menu and drinks. At the end of the meal we were surprised with two pieces of delicious cake and a shot glass of "milk" ... Bailey's Irish cream type of drink. The host came by to take a photo and presented it to us at the end of our meal. Nice touch! We will be returning for sure! OUTSTANDING, I SALUTE YOU!!!

III Forks - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

I think I might have had too high of expectations ahead of my dinner here. I'll put it like this: if I were being taken here for a biz lunch or dinner, I would be pretty excited! Would I take friends & family here visiting me in ATX? Not so much. So maybe that makes it a 3.5 star joint. And look, I know inflation is impacting everyone...but when you charge $9 for butter with the steak, I'm sorry...I am going to ding you...and yes, I've seen Gordon Ramsey or someone on tik Tok making a good butter, so I get it...but still..so my insider's tip...just keep the big slab of butter they give you with the bread and use that for your steak...or throw a stick of land o'lakes into your pocket before you head out. Speaking of their bread, it is very good.. so the way I would frame this is I was underwhelmed upon walking in to the restaurant. It felt dated and needing an interior re-model. And not dated like "old school" Bob's Chophouse in Dallas...old school like Tim Lippe and Dean Ziegler going to dinner at a Holiday Inn restaurant in Cedar Rapids... just the carpeting, mineral fiber ceilings etc. So I would say despite being in a good location near the river, I wasn't a big fan of the vibe. I haven't been to many of the great steakhouses in Austin, so I am no means an expert, but favorite so far is Perry's in the Domain (haven't been to the DT one), and also love Trulucks (but get that it's a seafood joint). Big fan of Flemings. So I have to say the filet was cooked perfectly and tasted great! Not like OMG this is amazing, but it was a solid offering. Burger (love steakhouse burgers) was decent, a bit overcooked but much prefer a couple of my favorite ATX burgers: Acre 41 & P. Martins. I have tons more to try but this burger reminded me of Mighty Fine. Again, I'd be happy to have it again if I was taken for a work lunch, but doesn't quite measure up to the top offerings and $23 price tag (Acre 41 is $20). Sides - the lobster Mac and cheese didn't wow me or anything. it was okay, but I'd go a block over to Lamberts, because their Mac and cheese is ridiculous. Asparagus was like something I would buy from HEB and attempt to cook myself. Dessert was very good, and the drinks were also very solid! Lastly, service was very good though! So I had a really fun evening at iii Forks, but like I said earlier...I'm not in a rush to go back or recommend to folks, which is generally my barometer of a joint. 7/10 with would translate to 3.5 stars here. read more

We had such an amazing experience start to finish. The servers on our visit were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and professional. The food was so good. There was nothing served that was not delicious. I would highly recommend the calamari and literally any of their steaks. Add the king butter. You will not regret it. read more

First time here! The waitress was very attentive and friendly. There are a lot of off menu items, so listen carefully to the waitress! Drinks- margarita and the strawberry rose sidecar. Caesar salad - they can split for you! Ordinary, ordered it to get some greens. Bone marrow (off menu) - 3pc, comes with salt, mustard, bread. Husband didn't prefer the caramelized sugar on top. Bone in ribeye - no flame like in the photos but they can check the temp and cut slices for you. Got the kings butter on the side and it was a nice compliment to the steak and on top of the mashed potatoes. The steak was medium rare. It wasn't a mind-blowing steak, but it was still delicious. All in all, it was such a wonderful experience! read more

My parents and I had an amazing dinner! I think this may have been the best steak I've ever had. Brett provided excellent service along with the whole staff. My mom and I shared a large cut of american wagyu and loved getting to pick our own knives to use and learn about as well. The bourbon maple salt was so good and they even packaged some up for me to take home. I had a great espresso martini and my dad enjoyed his vodka martini. It's a typical steakhouse inside, dark wood, dark lighting with candles/lamps at the tables, but the experience was far superior than typical! read more

What a fine dining experience! Ambiance...Perfect. Service...Perfect. Food...Perfect. From the moment we sat down, our waiter was very attentive and he offered the perfect recommendations for everything. First recommendation was the cocktail: Blackberry Smash. This drink was awesome; not too sweet, not to strong...just right. His next recommendation was an appetizer not on the menu: Chicken-fried Lobster. OMG this was one of the best appetizers I have had in my life. The lobster came perfectly fried in nuggets with this flavorful sundried tomato sauce! There was also some asparagus, but the star was the lobster and sauce. For my entrée, I went with the Eye of Ribeye Pepper Steak which was heaven. The steak was tender, flavored so well and melted in mouth. My friend enjoyed her meal as well - she ordered the Filet Mignon and Brussels Sprouts. The menu has so many great options, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. If you are ever in the area and are looking for a quality meal, you can't go wrong with III Forks. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Austin. read more

Food was very good. We asked for a quiet table not in the middle of the room. They accommodated us in a side room, but we had to ask to turn down the music. It was hard to hear each other over the table. Otherwise service and food were wonderful. Would for sure return! read more

Excellent service! I got to go here for dinner on a girls weekend. Our hearts were just as full as our bellies. I got to celebrate a new job. We had many a laugh. The bathrooms are nice, European style doors floor to ceiling privacy. I would recommend for a fancy date night. Or anytime you're celebrating and feeling bougie! read more

Average and below average food. Nothing was memorable. Caesar Salad was pathetic. Mashed potatoes served cold. Bread was actually stale. Spinach was a blend of well sautéed leaves with plain, uncooked spinach tossed in. We actually found a long hair in with the coating of the calamari. The fried lobster app was indistinguishable. Steaks were mediocre (yes, the up-charged butter was good; but it should come standard with the meal). The highlight of the meal had been the brussels sprouts. Service was very good. But, as an overall dining experience - not worth the money. Nothing worth returning for, won't be back... read more

Unfortunately I was disappointed in 3 forks from the food to the service they sat us in the corner buhide a pillar so this could explain the unitentive service our server only really came to take the order and to drop of the steak even the runners did relley refill water and there were only a few tables at that time I did notice when going to the bathroom they were to busy looking at there phones for the food 1st was the lobster fried steak it tasted like calamari the sauce was good I think I rather order the calamari and ask for that sauce the onion soup was horrible tasted like salt water had barely any onions don't think they use gruyere only ate two bits of that the manager did come a takenit off ribey steak was ok it was cook right had a good beefy flavor that the only thing that saved this place the deserts was just I would skip them read more

Although I have been here many times, I wanted to do an updated review. We decided to hit the happy hour that is in the bar section M-F from 4-6. The happy hour menu has both food and drinks and is really a good deal. We got some drinks and started with oysters ($2 each in happy hour). We also got the calamari- both really good. For my meal I wanted something different so I got the chicken fried steak, it comes with potatoes and green beans and is a large portion for about $36, a steal. My boyfriend got a New York Strip with the King Butter, such a great pair. We love the creamed corn and the asparagus. To round it out we got the chocolate cake and the bread pudding- both amazing. We had attentive, friendly service but we did have a little issue with the bill where I was charged twice for the wine bottle but it was handled quickly and gracefully. This restaurant is always clean and moody and feels so nice to be dining in. I love the chicken fried lobster too, skipped out this time but will get it the next. read more

Since living in Austin, I've heard about III Forks, but never made the reservation until now. So for date night, we chose to give a try and it was really good. First off, I felt underdressed as we walked up to the front door as customers came out in suits and black cocktail dresses. We were dressed nice, but not that nice. And the wait staff, they are dressed to the nines as well! But no one ever commented on our attire and within 30 minutes, several other tables had arrived in the nice similar attire that we had chosen. We started the night off with drinks and the bread they bring to the table. My husband had the Purple Cowboy cab and I had a mixed cocktail. We then ordered our main dishes without an appetizer because we really wanted dessert. My husband ordered the New Strip and added the King's butter as a topping. I ordered the prime double-cut pork chop with serrano peach BBQ sauce and balsamic glaze and a side of fried brussel sprouts. The rumors about the King's butter are true. It is fantastic on the steak. And the pork chop! The pork chop is probably the best I've ever had. The two sauce work amazingly together. However, the fried brussel sprouts had a good flavor profil but were underwhelming and soggy. We had our eye on the prize and ordered the creme brulee. It was amazing! It was taller than any other one I've had before, but the top had the nice crisp melted sugar concoction with fruit and there was a hint of lemon and it was delicious. All and all a good experience. read more

Absolutely incredible restaurant! I brought my wife here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and the service, food, and ambiance were PERFECT! We were looking for a nice, quiet place to celebrate while in ATX and this place went above and beyond! We sat at a high top in the bar area and the bartender and wait staff were impeccable and super friendly. Service was immediate and they anticipated our every need. Also, one thing I'm particular about is having a glass of red when my steak arrives. I always ask, but a lot of times it's forgotten. But not here! As soon as the steaks were on the table, the server set down a fresh pour of the cab I requested. Then, to top it all off, I mentioned we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and they surprised us with a nice dessert, congratulations from the staff, and a photo of us. Truly wonderful experience!! Highly recommend! read more

We are big fans of steakhouses and I think we all agreed after dinner this week it was the best overall experience we have had in one. The steak (bone in filet) with the Kings Butter on it may have been the best steak I have ever had. Perfectly cooked. Our server 'Mick' was an absolute joy, funny and fun, engaging and made perfect recommendations. If you want a fun evening ask to be seated with him. Will absolutely be going back on our next trip to Austin! read more

Visiting Austin for the first time for my bday. Hubby made reservations here as a special treat and it certainly was!!! We arrived a bit early and had a cocktail at the bar. Like a well oiled machine behind the bar with friendly pros crafting great drinks. Service was excellent front start to finish. Friendly and attentive. Had the surf and turf and my husband had the speak last which was two 4 ounce filets wrapped in bacon. Sides.. potatoes and corn!! Delish! Great wine selections as well as a lovely, easy and welcoming vibe! Pricey and definitely a special occasion place, but worth it! read more

We moved to Austin about a year ago and have made this one of go-to's for a great dining experience. Everyone is friendly, talented and professional. Ernest, the GM, is fantastic and if you want to have some fun, ask for Mick. He does a great job and will have you laughing your head off. I didn't mention the food because it speaks for itself - the worst thing on the menu is delicious. read more

Great food and amazing service. At times there were 5 people bringing out food, clearing dishes and more. Highly recommend.

Food was really good. Steak was cooked to perfection. Service was great. Our server handed us a flight of wines in order to help us choose which one to enjoy for dinner. Ambience is great and casual dress for a high end place is always appreciated read more

We had a fantastic anniversary dinner at III Forks this week. It was the first time we have been to a restaurant since COVID19 started and we were extremely comfortable dinning here with all the safety measures in place. The tables are spaced far apart, all employees are wearing gloves and masks and sanitizing the gloves regularly. Anything touched by guests was being thoroughly cleaned. I would easily be comfortable bringing older family members to III Forks with all the precautions they're taking. The meal was perfect. I always love getting crab legs here because they are already cut for you to easily eat with a fork. My lobster was fantastic, tender and flavorful. The filet mignon was juicy and medium rare just like we asked for. We also shared a Cesar salad, mashed potatoes, and chocolate cake. Luckily we had plenty of food to take home and have a fancy brunch with our leftovers! Let me tell you, the layered chocolate cake was EVEN BETTER the next day! Everyone we interacted with at III Forks made it a point to wish us a happy anniversary which made us feel very special. They also treated us to a celebratory shot. It is the chef's secret recipe, and it is delicious. It tasted like decadent banana cream. A very nice touch for our celebration. They even called us the following day to thank us for coming in and make sure we had a nice time. That is excellent hospitality and details like this are why we keep coming back to III Forks! read more

Located on the edge of downtown near the river. $20 valet parking available next door for easy access. The ambiance was classy and upscale. The room was dim. The linens were clean. Servers were attentive and helpful. Water glass was never empty which is a huge hit for me! Our server Moe was very friendly, provided great recommendations, and embraced our special occasion. We ordered: -Love Potion cocktail -Bees Knees cocktail - garnished with fresh honeycomb -Brussel sprouts -Six cheese potatoes -Filet Mignon - medium rare -Kings butter Serving sizes were perfect for two people. The kings butter was the star of the show and absolute must! Hot take - I don't like truffle but this butter was still amazing. We ended the meal with a pecan and chocolate cake. Moe paired our desert with a one of kind Jameson and milk cocktail which was heavenly. I look forward to dining here again! read more

This place was really good, the service was good. I ordered the salad with blue cheese crumbles and pecans, I felt like there was a big too much blue cheese and pecans and I love that stuff! The ratio to lettuce seemed off. I also got the 8oz filet because it was just a few dollars more than the 6oz. For the table we ordered mashed potatoes (which I did not fry), asparagus (they were the big ones), and the mushrooms. They were full of flavor and delish. My steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked spot on. The servers actually go around the table and serve you the sides which I thought was pretty cool. I had 2 glasses of one of the Cabernets which I enjoyed as well. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Starting with the good. Classy environment, friendly server, good drinks. I loved the way they prepared the ahi, smoky slightly cooked rims and tender tuna remains. Scallops were decent as well. Also had the chicken fried lobster- not sure it's my jam because I don't agree with using breading to cover lobsters lol the No so ideal is that the food came out very slowly, and the price point is pretty night for steakhouses read more

An excellent restaurant with a very classy vibe. Took a good friend here and ordered one of their sirloins. The waiter came back a few minutes later with a platter of expensive steak knives to choose from to cut my steak. Not going to lie, felt very A class and we were the VIPs...and we just walked in and chose to sit at a high-top table. A little pricier than most joins in the area but if you're going on a date, have a business dinner, or a celebration, this is the place to go! Reservation was not needed for both times I have gone but it is recommended. read more

my husband and I came here after a comedy show recently and this was a experience. the staff was friendly, knowledgeable but not pushy with upselling. we split the 32 oz tomahawk and added bleu cheese crust on it and it was perfect. chefs kiss for sure! ive been to many steakhouses in a few different states such as Ruth Chris, Brazilian steakhouses etc but i can confidently say this was the best steak I've ever had. we got the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was surprisingly good, I'm picky so I excepted not to like it but I loved it. we got some sides such as the lobster Mac and the potatoes and both were really good. the staff served cut our steak and served our sides. 10/10 would recommend. oh forgot to add we got drinks and they were made well. Not too diluted read more

My girlfriend and I came to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and wanted to treat ourselves to a nice steak dinner. We requested for a quiet table away from the chaos and that's exactly what we received. Thank you for reading your booking comments! It did get loud in the dining room we were in but for a Friday night, it wasn't excessive. In fact, it made for a lively ambiance. The only thing that was better than our perfectly cooked USDA Prime Tomahawk and USDA Prime Bone in Ribeye, was the service we received from Amanda. Amanda was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. She is a tremendous asset to the front of house staff. In my 15 years of service in hospitality, I know what good service is, and she went above and beyond to make our first time experience to III Forks exceptional!! We could not be happier. Also, DO NOT opt out of the King's Butter. Although our steaks already tasted phenomenal without it, the King's Butter only elevates each bite and your taste buds will surely thank you for it. Thank you III Forks - Austin and the entire staff for such a memorable dining experience and we will surely be back. read more

We had Kurtis as our server, a true class act. It was my wife's Birthday and he made it very special. The food was the best in Texas, Chef Eric is amazing, a true professional, Ernest is THE BEST MANAGER IN THE WORLD. You see I am the world's best former waiter and I can spot talent a mile away. Love ya Ernest!!! The manager Jeff was super cool. The sommelier on duty was very informative, we had the 10,000 bottle of Screaming Eagle (just kidding, we drank chardonnay, lol.) Kurtis had roses on the table for my wife, truly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.

We made a reservation for 9 people here and they booked us in a private room. We ended up with a couple cancellations and there were six of us dining last night. We offered to move from the private room but they let us keep it, which was great for talking business. We ordered appetizers and drinks. The service was amazing. At certain points there were three people in the room changing the table settings, clearing plates, bringing drinks, etc. It has been a long time since I have experienced this quality of service. For the main course most of us ordered steaks. The sides are served family style. We got Nashe potatoes, brussel sprouts, mushrooms. I got their 8 oz filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly and mouth watering good. We ordered desert and shared several options recommended by the waitress. All said with drinks, appetizers, food and deserts, our bill with tip was $190 per person. You could get out for under 100 if you scaled back drinks. Bottom line, it's on the more expensive side, but the quality and service matches the price. It's not a place to bring the kids, but if you have a special occasion or business dinner, you will not be dissatisfied. This is a 5 star place! read more

Hands down one of the best steakhouses I have ever been to and would highly recommend going to if you're ever in town. From the service to the food, everything was spectacular. We ordered 2 tomahawk ribeyes for the table and the server was kind enough to cut it up for us. For particular items on the menu, you are even able to select your own type of steak knife to eat with. They bring it out in a fancy box for you to choose from. Halfway through the meal they also give complimentary green onions and tomatoes as palate cleansers. The service was top notch as well. Our water was never low, and everyone was so attentive to our needs. We even noticed that our plate was preseasoned. Can't recommend this place enough. read more
