Next Level Experience (Bring Your Wallet!) If you're deciding between Steak 48 and something like Fleming's or Perry's, just go here. It's a definite step up. Pro Tip on Parking: Valet is $10, but I found street parking for $5. Worth a look around the block before you hand over the keys. But I mean, on this night, you best suppress the bargain hunting part of your brain. ;) The Vibe: It's "high-end hectic." If you're looking for a quiet, low-key romantic corner, this probably isn't it-at least not in the main dining area by the bar. There is a ton of energy and a lot going on. Dress-wise, it's generally business casual or even a little lower. The Service: This is where they shine. They have like three levels of servers and everyone is on point. They treat you like a wealthy VIP, but it doesn't feel fake or pretentious--it's just their "norm." The Food: Be prepared to spend. You aren't getting out of here for under $200 for two people. But honestly? You get what you pay for. When the waiter starts describing the steaks, your mouth will literally water. The food and service are both impeccable. My wife and I got an appetizer, split a filet, got 3 sides, and she got a glass of wine and a cappuccino. The dessert was complimentary. $200 - see the receipt photo Bottom Line: If you are okay with the price tag, you should go. It's a polished, top-tier experience. read more

My partner treated me to Steak 48 for a birthday dinner and we had a very pleasant time. The service was a clear standout. From the moment we walked in, they were welcoming and friendly, the server patiently explained their highlights and recommendations. It's clear the restaurant is very intentional about their food choices. The manager even wrote a personalized birthday card for me and gave us a follow up call the next day to check in on our experience which was very kind of them. In regards to the food, it was delicious but we didn't find it exceptional enough to justify the high price point. The meal started off with complimentary bread service that you could choose with sea salt or garlic parmesan topping. The bread was so fluffy, warm, and comforting. We ordered the Braised Pork Belly, which was surprisingly tender and juicy, and the sauce complimented it very well. We ordered the regular size bone-in KC Strip to share. It was a huge portion and they give you extremely hot plates so that the steak stays warm and sizzly on your plate once you eat it. We were pretty impressed by how juicy and tender it was. The corn creme brulee and Boursin cheese whipped potatoes we had as sides were great complements to the dish. At the end of our meal, they treated us with a complimentary Cookies and Cream Popcorn Sundae which was super unique and really delicious. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you're willing to ball out and celebrate for a special night. read more

I have been wanting to try steak 48 for quite a while now and on my birthday I figured it was time to treat myself along with my wife and my mother. We were all very excited because we took a look at the menu beforehand and had quite a few things we wanted to try. Upon an arrival we were greeted very kindly and we showed up early for our reservation and were still seated with 60 seconds at 7:30 on a Friday so that was fantastic. The guy running drinks was nice and even had recommendations for us before the server even got there. Our server was very good as well. The low rating has absolutely nothing to do with the staff to be honest with you, you have great people working at Steak 48. The overall problem unfortunately was the food. We started off with the hanging bacon and at first it was very good and had sweet and salty flavors and it was very thick and juicy, but after a few bites it became incredibly salty, so salty it became inedible but we just boxed it up and took it home. The Chicken Fried Lobster was actually very good, top marks for that appetizer. The Entrees however ranged from underwhelming to downright gross. I got one the ribeye on special that night and while it was cooked very well on the inside, the outside was charred and every bite just tasted like charcoal. I got the crab cake Oscar topping with it and at first didn't realize it but the crab had almost an expired taste to it, which I'm sure is not the case but man was it fishy and a very strong odor with it. My Wife got the KC strip with the crab cake Oscar as well, her steak was over salted/seasoned for her liking but I ate it because my steak was so bad I couldn't eat it. My mother got a salad entree, I'm not sure which one it was but she could not muscle it down, the egg they had sent with it was also very fragrant in all the wrong ways. Last but not least, the dessert, the dessert was the red velvet bread pudding, which actually was really tasty, only problem was that there was not nearly enough ice cream and the bottom of the dessert was so hot I had to move it around my mouth and it scalded the bottom of my tongue and I could no longer taste it. I received a call from the restaurant yesterday and I told the lady on the other end that the service was great but we were disconnected before I was able to speak with her, no problem, just saying. All in all, I was expecting excellence from somewhere I have heard nothing but good things about and I was severely let down. I won't likely be coming back just due to all the problems with the food. read more

I want to update my review because my last one was from years ago. I went last night for a girl's night and we had an interesting experience. For starters, they couldn't find our reservation and the lady up front was extremely rude to my friend. She told us she could add us to the long wait list, but we already had made reservations a week prior. After conversations back and forth we finally got our table. It was frustrating. When we got to our table, our server raquelle (idk how to spell her name) was interesting. She was nice at first, but at a certain point I'm not sure what we did wrong because she was so cold and would not give us the time of day? We ordered a bunch of sides, and a 12 oz halal steak. We then added another 12oz steak after discussing how 1 might not be enough for us. When I asked for her to add it on her attitude was a bit much. It made our experience awkward and not pleasant how it usually is. The food was good, no complaints there but the service really got to us. Then when it was time to pay it took 20 mins for her to get the bill and bring our card back. Idk she looked like she wanted us out so we left. Not our best experience at steak 48. We usually have the best service so that was disappointing. read more

F-A-N-C-Y Fancy folk, fancy cars (both revving in and away), fancy place, fancy yet delicious food. But F-A-N-C-Y. Like almost every patron here is putting on a show to go out to eat. Boobs out, jewelry sparkling, dressed to the 9s. For good reason, of course, because this is Steak 48. I had read a very apt article that this is the place to be and be seen and it was spot on. I'm not sure why it's like that but if you don't like that, you might want to pick another spot. But I chose Steak 48 because of all the great reviews and took 3 clients out last night and had a 'good' experience but not 'great'. And that's just based on the dining experience itself. Man, I really wanted to give this place 5 stars for the food and service but while the food was pretty darn delicious, the service really fell short midway through the meal. Like, our waiter just disappeared. Maybe the 7 employees at the entrance to greet and say goodbye to you could have stepped in to clear my plate or ask if we wanted another bottle of wine, an after dinner drink or even dessert (we weren't offered dessert but a few small crunchy chocolate chip cookies like you can find in the supermarket). Anyway, I'm just a little bitter about the service because our waiter was a nice man and very attentive at first but just darn ghosted us and this was a client dinner at a very fancy place and it should have been perfect. Now, as far as the food is concerned, like I mentioned, it was some of the best tasting grub I've had at a steakhouse. To start, we ordered six oysters ($33) that came with a ridiculous variety of dipping sauces in addition to horseradish and cocktail sauce. I did appreciate the multitude of dipping options but it did seem, well, over the top, which this place certainly is. The oysters were on the small side but tasty. We also had the Calamari ($27), Crispy Deviled Eggs ($24) and the Pork Belly ($24). The Calamari and the Pork Belly were the standouts for me and very nice. I liked the fried chilies with the Calamari and the flavor of the pork belly. The deviled eggs were just kind of standard topped with a small fried shrimp. They were good...I mean, who doesn't like a deviled egg? But they were average and nothing different than if you made 'em yourself, well, and added a fried shrimp on top. My pre-dinner cocktail was the El Tesoro Old Fashioned ($22) which our waiter recommended and it was fantastic. Even though it's made with tequila, it tasted more like an Old Fashioned and exactly what I was looking for. For dinner, I had the Bone-In Ribeye ($85) cooked rare and after being so underwhelmed at steakhouses considering my wife and I make fantastic steaks at home for much much less, this one actually impressed me. The char on the outside and the flavor of the ribeye was excellent. It was cooked perfectly. I did order the truffle butter ($9) for the table but I was the only one who tried it. It was good but not necessary. My clients ordered a Bone-In Strip ($82), the 12 oz. Filet ($82) and a Bone-In Ribeye as well and all enjoyed them as well. Sides: Au Gratin Potatoes ($24), Crab & Shrimp Mac ($52), Corn Brulee ($21) and the Creamed Spinach and Artichoke ($18). Of all of these, I feel we could have skipped the Au Gratin Potatoes which were actually recommended by the waiter. They were good but not amazing as the other sides were. The Mac was fantastic as was the Creamed Spinach and I enjoyed the addition of the artichoke but I couldn't actually see the pieces in there. The corn brulee....well, that was SICK. So good, almost like a dessert and bruleed on top...really a wonderful dish. Service was impeccable at the beginning of the meal and the army of staff are super quick to clear your plates and sometimes before you're done with them but that didn't bother me too much. What did bother me was that our bottle of wine was not delivered until we were well into eating our steaks (and I had to remind a server for it) and being completely being ghosted for 30 minutes after our meal. After dinner drinks and dessert were not offered. For a place like this and at such a high price point, man, well, things like that just shouldn't happen. I'm even considering taking two whole stars off for the service but I'll be nice and just remove one because I was satisfied with the food. Based on this experience, however, I would not recommend Steak 48. There are plenty of other options in town for a good steak with stellar service. read more

Here's a more polished and balanced version of your review while still keeping your concerns clear: --- I was really looking forward to celebrating our anniversary here, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We were seated at a very tight table where one chair wasn't easily accessible, and the chair I was in kept getting bumped by both patrons and staff due to how closely the tables were arranged. It made the evening feel uncomfortable from the start. The food itself was just okay. The restaurant emphasizes that their steaks are served on 500-degree plates, but in my opinion, it felt excessive. My steak was ordered medium rare but came out quite undercooked. I assume the intention is for it to continue cooking on the hot plate, but that didn't really happen as expected. On top of that, the plate was so hot that it made the food difficult to enjoy right away--I actually burned my tongue trying to eat within a few minutes. I'd definitely recommend waiting at least 10 minutes before eating. The sides are served family-style, which could be nice in some settings, but transferring them to my plate only made everything even hotter and harder to eat comfortably. Overall, the experience didn't meet expectations, especially considering we spent a couple hundred dollars. I was hoping for something more enjoyable for our special occasion and the fact that Steak 48 is so highly rated. read more

I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday dinner at Steak 48. The ambiance was beautiful and upscale without feeling stuffy. I especially loved that we were seated at a standard table rather than a high top, which made the experience feel more relaxed and comfortable for a longer dinner. Our waiter was incredibly kind and very attentive throughout the evening. The only small note is that the specials were delivered a bit quickly, but that was minor in the grand scheme of things. The cherry on top was receiving both a handwritten birthday card and a birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch and truly made the night feel special. Everything we ordered was outstanding. We had the deviled eggs, wedge salad, NY strip, shells and cheese, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potato praline mash. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. My friend also really enjoyed her blackberry bourbon. Overall, Steak 48 delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Great food, wonderful service, and a celebratory atmosphere made this a perfect birthday dinner. I would absolutely return. read more

Steak 48 is consistently good. The service is amazing; every time. The steak always melts in your mouth... The sides are delectable. And the drinks are good and strong. This is one of my favorite steakhouses and I am a steak girly. Steak 48 is top two for me. The ambience is fine, dining, low-lit vibes. My only complaint is their parking situation. It's valet, street parking which is paid, or there's a garage behind the restaurant. I usually valet, but sometimes the line to valet is really long and that's annoying. Other than that once you're inside, no complaints. read more

I'm still drooling over the crab cakes and it's been days since my last visit!!!!! Let's start with the customer service, which was absolutely stellar! The recommendations, the patience and smiles were truly top tier! There is an upstairs and downstairs. We were upstairs and the area is beautiful. There is a bar up there too. I had a highly recommended Chardonnay and it was delicious. On to the food. I started out with my love for the crab cakes and yes!!! They are just that good! Oh and the blue cheese salad was EVERYTHING! I can't get over how big the bacon bits were. My husband had the NY strip and he was full as a tick! We shared the brussel sprouts, cream corn and Au gratin potatoes. YUM! I cannot recommend Steak 48 enough! I was blown away by the quality of the food we received and the top notch service. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

We dined at Steak 48 for our Thanksgiving. We had a lovely experience. The ambience is so luxurious and warm. The waiter was very thorough on explaining the menu and specials. The options for steak is the largest selection you will find in Texas. We went all out and ordered h the 46oz bone-in wagu tomahawk. It was easily shareable with 4 people after the rolls and a couple sides. We ordered the macaroni and it was amazingly cheesy. We would definitely visit again and try their dry aged ribeye. My husband and I visit Texas restaurants with dry aged steaks and like to compare. I'd love to see how Steak 48 ranks! read more

Steak 48 - 46oz Bone-in Wagu Tomahawk Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was my very first time at Steak 48, and we went with some of our work partners -- honestly, it was an experience from start to finish. Arrival & Atmosphere Parking was easy, and they offer valet if you prefer. When we walked inside, we grabbed a few drinks at the bar before heading upstairs. The ambiance is low-lit, intimate, and very personal -- perfect for a nice dinner or a business outing. Service The service was truly amazing. Every person who brought something out explained what it was, how it was prepared, and made sure we were taken care of. Our server, Angie, was phenomenal -- super knowledgeable, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations. After every course, they even brought out warm lavender towels, which made the whole experience feel even more elevated. Drinks I ordered an espresso martini with tequila (Angie's recommendation), and it was one of the best I've had. The table also ordered margaritas and wine -- they have a pretty extensive wine list! Appetizers * Chef's Cut Hanging Bacon -- Listen... GET. THE. BACON. It was absolutely phenomenal. Tasted like steak. Probably the highlight of the appetizers. * Chicken Fried Lobster Tail -- The batter was incredible, super flavorful and crispy. The lobster itself was okay, so overall I'd give it a 7/10. * Bread Service -- Surprisingly delicious. Soft, warm, and honestly memorable. Entrées Of course, we had steaks, and they were cooked perfectly. The garlic sauce they serve with it is packed with flavor. Sides We ordered a lot, and they were all impressive: * Sautéed Wild Mushrooms -- So flavorful, probably one of my favorite sides. * Brussels Sprouts -- Delicious. * Whipped Praline Sweet Potatoes -- Amazing. * Creamed Spinach & Artichoke -- So good. * Chef Omar's Au Gratin Potatoes -- These come in little lasagna-like squares and were amazing. * Corn Crème Brûlée -- Not everyone's favorite, but some at the table really enjoyed it. Everything came out beautifully plated, well-seasoned, and super flavorful. They also packed everything to-go perfectly at the end of the meal. Overall I'm usually skeptical because restaurants with this kind of reputation can sometimes be overhyped... but Steak 48 lived up to every bit of it. The quality, the flavors, the service, the experience -- everything was worth it. I would absolutely go back, and I highly recommend it -- especially the bacon and the sides!! read more

Good Service There's a lot of hype around this place and while it was good, I'd say it's just okay overall. Definitely not the best steakhouse I've been to but the ambiance and service were exceptional. The Old Fashioned was made really well and I especially enjoyed the crab cake. Our server went above and beyond, even taking the time to show us different areas of the restaurant, which was a nice touch. This was my second visit, we came to celebrate a friend's birthday and the place was elegant, clean and perfect for a special occasion. read more

I made reservations, arrived 30 minutes early, and was seated right away. This is a very posh restaurant. The music was a great mixture of songs most people would like. I ordered the calamari and ribeye with the chefs potato au gratin. The steak was popping hot!!! I like it this way. It was delicious. The calamari was really fresh. The potatoes, were very creamy. When I am back in Houston, this steak house will be on the top of my list. read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a really great time overall. Parking was a little tricky, but if you plan on using valet it's honestly not a big deal. The inside is dark and intimate, they do have a dress code (just don't wear athleisure wear). Our server was very attentive without constantly checking in, which made it easy to just enjoy the food and hang out. The food was incredible like always. We started with the hamachi appetizer, which was super fresh and citrusy, and the pork belly appetizer that had a sweet chili-type glaze that I really enjoyed. We also shared the Caesar salad. For mains, we ordered the 12 oz filet mignon and the 12 oz NY strip. Both steaks were cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and had an amazing seared crust on the outside. For sides, the corn crème brûlée is a must every single time. The sweetness mixed with the steak juices is just so good. We also ordered the shells and cheese, which was good but nothing crazy. The creamed spinach and chef's au gratin potatoes were kind of disappointing, the spinach tasted like bacon and the au gratin potatoes were basically just cheesy potatoes. I'd skip those if you're choosing between sides. This was for a table of three, and I'd recommend sticking to maybe two sides and adding another appetizer instead. They also brought out a complimentary red velvet cake for the birthday girl, which was a nice surprise. It's warm and on the sweeter side, but still really good. Overall, great service, amazing steaks, and a solid spot for a special occasion. Would definitely come back. read more

Steak 48 Houston was fantastic for my husband's birthday. Service was spot‑on as always -- our server checked in just enough, and the whole team made the night feel special. I started with their Old Fashioned (excellent), and the chicken‑fried lobster was crispy and delicious with that aioli. My filet mignon was perfectly tender, and those warm rolls are impossible to resist. We shared the Brussels sprouts and au gratin potatoes, both great choices, and enjoyed a glass of Belle Glos Pinot Noir. We finished with the warm caramel vanilla cake -- amazing. The ambiance was perfect too, with the Galleria skyline at sunset and a great mix of 70s/80s R&B and rock. We both had a perfect evening. read more

Came to Steak 48 in Houston for my birthday dinner and had a great experience. My boyfriend and I shared a ribeye (medium-well). I'm not even a steak person -- I usually order chicken -- but I actually ate a good amount and really enjoyed it. We ordered the sweet potato soufflé, mac & cheese, and corn. Everything was equally good. The sweet potato soufflé was smooth, creamy, buttery, and perfectly seasoned. The mac & cheese was rich with nicely toasted breadcrumbs, and the corn was solid. Only disappointment was the rolls. They weren't bad, just nothing special. Texas Roadhouse still has the best rolls . Service was top tier, and overall Steak 48 absolutely delivered. It rivals Little Alley Steak in ATL, which says a lot coming from me. Great birthday dinner. read more

I finally made it to Steak 48 to try out their much talked about steaks. The first thing you might notice as you walk in is the wall of nearly 50 vintage meat cleavers. The night I visited, the place was packed, but that's a good sign for a steakhouse. We had a short wait and then we were escorted upstairs. The host leading you to your table upstairs will ask if you would like to take the stairs or the elevator. I took the stairs, good choice, so I can see yet another massive wall of meat cleavers. We were seated in a semi secluded section at the front overlooking Westheimer on one side and the stairwell on the other side. Once seated, they immediately ask if you want white or black napkins. Then I was handed a hand written birthday card, similar to what I had read about In other reviews...which is a nice touch. We decided on the bacon appetizer, a ginger peach cocktail and the 22oz bone in ribeye. For sides, I went fairly classic and did the loaded baked potato and brussel sprouts. This combination ended up being a bacon overload, as I clearly didn't think this through before ordering. Even as a bacon lover, this is way too much bacon for one meal. The ginger cocktail was mostly ginger and not much peach. I prefer it to be peach forward. Unfortunately, the ginger beer in this overpowers most other flavors. They provide a birthday dessert on the house at the end of the meal, which they tell you up front, so of course I tried that. The hanging bacon is just that, 4 massively thick strips of what seemed more like pork belly than bacon with a nice light honey glaze dripping down onto the board as you sit and talk. After another 15 or 20 mins, the main course comes out. The nice thing about fancy restaurants is they do a lot for you. The brussel sprouts were scooped onto my plate for me. They indicate that when the steak comes to the table, it will be on a sizzling 500 degree skillet, which I never saw. Mine just came on a regular plate. They don't ask you to cut your steak to make sure its cooked right....luckily it was. The steak was very hot when I took my first bite, which was really nice. I was not that impressed with the brussel sprouts appetizer. Not because I had already eaten so much bacon from the appetizer, just because it had no wow factor and it was small. The steak was cooked very nicely and very tender. The baked potato was large and nicely cooked. It almost seemed like a twice baked potato, but they said it wasn't. Loaded with more bacon, I just ate a little and didn't see any wow factor in this dish. I should have stuck with my original pick and chose the signature potatoes au gratin, one item they're know for. I knew I couldn't eat too much of the main entree, to save room for the dessert, so I didn't. The one thing I did not like was our table position. It happened to be next to the pos system and a bus boy stand/tray where they stack dirty dishes temporarily, and they also plate the leftover food in togo boxes for other tables in that section of 5 tables, so you may have dirty dishes (from 4 other tables) literally 2 feet from your table at a few different times throughout the meal, then also see the bus boy cramming other tables' food into togo boxes. Kind of strange to see right next to your table for such a fancy steakhouse. It comes time to order the dessert and they give me the option to take it to go, or eat it there. They provided me a new plate, silverware and a menu but I never indicated which I would do. Some restaurants have a dedicated "birthday dessert" and for some reason I assumed this was one of them. I looked over the menu because I thought they wanted me to order a 2nd one. They didn't clearly indicate that the birthday dessert was my choice and I could pick from the 6 or 7 different options. The only thing they made clear is that their signature desserts were the red velvet bread pudding and the warm vanilla caramel cake. I initially told our waiter no, I didn't want a 2nd dessert. He then told me that it's my choice. I had already reviewed the dessert menu at home and was favoring the caramel cake, so I chose that one. The dessert is actually a yellow cake with the nuts, caramel and vanilla gelato on top in a small dish on the plate. On the remainder of the plate is fresh whipped cream along with a birthday message written in chocolate. That dessert was really good and one of my favorite items to eat all night. Just when you think you are done, as they bring the check, they also bring out freshly baked small chocolate chip cookies So after a few hiccups, we still ended up having a nice experience and would return to try other dishes. As I was leaving, I walked by another table that had ordered a different dessert which was mounted on a metal stand and each dish was stuck to the stand like ornaments on a tree. What a unique way of presenting the dessert, I just don't know which one it was. read more

Steak 48 - Warm Caramel Cake - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went to Steak48 and had a very enjoyable experience. Is it the cheapest? No, especially with the Steak 48 Signature Manhattan at $42! What you get here is a very consistent dining experience. Excellent service, great steaks (everything from wet aged to dry aged and various cuts of meat). For appetizers, went with King Crab + Avocado stack, Crispy Shrimp, chicken fried lobster tails, but the real standout was the "Chef's cut hanging bacon"! The bacon is a newish item, and really just a mini-steak appetizer. Wine list is reasonable provided you stay away from the Reserve Wine List. LOL! My go-to dessert is beignets, off the menu but made to order. My second fave is the warm vanilla caramel cake. read more

So this was a pretty underwhelming experience, not going to lie. I've been wanting to go here for a long time and I've just never had the chance, but I did end up going on Valentine's Day this year and it just didn't quite meet my expectations. Firstly, I'll say the ambience and inside of the restaurant just wasn't quite as lively as I was expecting and maybe that's not really what they advertise it as but that's just what I thought. It just felt like any other restaurant that you can go to and I feel like the steak 48 name definitely is associated with being a little bit more special than any old restaurant and that's just not how I felt about the ambience. My food was unfortunately just pretty mediocre. The first steak that they brought for me to me was overcooked and just was not flavorful. It wasn't seasoned enough. It was juicy, but it just didn't have much flavor at all. I really wouldn't have enjoyed it if that's all that I stuck with. I also got mac & cheese as well.. obviously this isn't like a soul food restaurant so there's no reason to expect it to be the best mac & cheese ever but it was like the most plain mac & cheese that I've had in a very long time. It was very creamy, but it just wasn't really like cheesy and again just wasn't really seasoned enough to me. I felt like I needed to add more salt and pepper just to give it any sort of kick and without it it just completely felt like a waste of time to eat. I did eventually express my thoughts towards my meal because my waiter did ask and that brings me to my next point, which is that the service was really good. Our waiter, I could tell, genuinely cared and immediately got me a new steak per his recommendation and it did taste much better. Still not the best steak I've ever had, but it did taste much better than my last one for sure. I was actually able to enjoy it. He also got me a free side so I was able to try the corn crème brûlée as well and that was actually pretty good. It was really sweet, which is to be expected. I did feel like it was a little bit runny, but it was actually good. I will say out of everything I ordered that was probably the best thing on the menu for me. The manager also came by our table as well. I guess our waiter explained that I had an issue and he wanted to understand what was going on and he also seemed like he really cared too. He was actually the one that initiated me getting a side and so that definitely again showed that they cared. It really made me feel better because it was a little annoying at first to want to go to this restaurant and I've been wanting to go for a long time and then when I finally did, it just didn't meet my expectations. It was also Valentine's Day too and it's an expensive restaurant so putting all those together you of course wanna have the best experience ever and it just didnt meet that but service wise I will definitely tell them they completely blew it out of the water. By the end of our meal they actually did not charge me for any of my steaks and did not charge me for of course the extra side they gave me and I was in complete shock. Of course it's expensive so I would expect that they wouldn't be willing to take off a whole steak but they did and so I really appreciated that and that definitely made up for a lot of my initial concerns. read more

Perfect location for a date night or special occasion! We made reservations the same day on a Sunday night. We arrived and was greeted by valet who parks your car as part of the experience. We were sat upstairs and were given the option to use the stairs or the elevator! Talk about luxury and accessibility! We started with drinks and I had a wonderfully made old fashioned with a monogrammed ice cube. We were welcomed with warm bread and got a few appetizers including deviled eggs and pork belly. Everything was perfectly seasoned. I got a steak while my date got fried fish. I am not a seafood eater but it was actually the best fried fish I've ever had. My steak was cooked excellently. We had many sides including mac and shells, asparagus, and sweet potato mash. I have no complaints, criticism, or comments. I was absolutely blown away how good this meal was from start to finish. Unlike any other steak restaurant I've been to. We were given cookies even after not ordering dessert as we were stuffed! They have excellent individual restrooms with beautiful full length mirrors and perfect lighting. I took the best photos! To top it all off the restaurant called me the next day to thank me for dining with them. I was so touched by this simple but deeply thoughtful gesture! Steak 48 stands out against the rest. Highly recommend and will definitely return read more

Steak 48 is one of my favorite restaurants but im going to be honest..they need to do something about the entrance..even when you have a reservation they make you wait in a tiny hallway where everybody is standing up waiting on a table AND people are also leaving out of the same hallway..its ridiculous and takes away from the dining experience. read more

We had an incredible dinner at Steak 48 steakhouse. From the moment we sat down, the service was top notch. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything throughout the evening was perfect without ever being overbearing. The dinner itself was amazing. The steaks were cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and everything we ordered came out beautifully prepared. You could really tell the kitchen takes pride in the quality of the food. The ambience was also fantastic--comfortable, welcoming, and upscale without feeling stuffy. It made for a great atmosphere to relax and enjoy the meal. One thing that really stood out was how attentive the management team was. The managers came by to check on us and even treated us to wine, which was a really thoughtful touch that made the night feel extra special. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food, outstanding service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great steakhouse dinner. read more

Made a resy ahead of time via open table. It's been at least 6 years since i've been back and I can see why it's still sitting pretty. We were seated upstairs, which the hostess's walked us to the elevator and took us to our seats. Started off with a classic margarita with tajin on the rim and it was made pretty strong (good thing). For apps, they brought out some complimentary garlic butter and sea salt bread and we ordered the pork belly (baked nicely and sweet chilli flavoring over a bed of spinach). For my main, I got the Bone-in Veal Chop (cooked as a nice medium rare, super tender and seasoned well), Seabass (very flaky and great texture from the crumbs), Bone-in 22oz rib-eye w/ truffle butter on the side (seasoned and cooked to perfection/juicy and the truffle butter was a great addition). For sides, I deff recommend the corn brûlée (exactly how it's named) and the fire roaster cauliflower (had a nice creamy sauce it sat on top of). I could've probably went without the crab and shrimp mac (the crab had too much fishy/sea taste, did not fancy that). Ended with a complimentary birthday dessert - Red Velvet Bread Pudding (a must have), can't beat the combo of icecream and a warm bread pudding. Our server was Andraes and he was attentive, knowledgeable and kind. Had some great recs as well. Atmosphere is very fancy. You may even run into some celebrities. Your glass of water will always be full as the servers make sure of that. Parking - $10 valet Restroom - individual stalls w/ fancy napkins and clean Overall, a nice fancy meal out. read more

Exceptional dinner experience. High quality steaks and seafood. The tomahawk wagyu was quite a wonderful experience. Desserts were also well conceived. Service was 10/10. Thank you Mark (the one with hair ) for taking such good care of our party of five on 1/11/2026. Brandon the manager also stopped by to introduce himself and ensure we were happy. Thank you to the entire team at Steak 48!! read more

The service alone would make me come back -- it was that good. The ambiance is amazing; it's a bit dark, but still very nice and upscale. Customer service was excellent, and our waitress was very attentive. Prices are what you'd expect for fine dining -- nothing outrageous. Now, the food: 10/10 across the board. The pork belly literally melted in my mouth. The scallops were an 8/10 -- delicious, but I wish they came with more of a butter sauce. I also tried the Caesar salad. It had an interesting concept with the egg in the middle, but it just wasn't for me. The real star of the show was the butter cake -- I'm still thinking about it. It was that good. Overall, I love Steak 48, and when I'm back in Houston, I'll definitely be returning read more

Can't leave a 0. This is my fiancés favorite place for steak, so I took her to dinner last night and we sat at the bar. We got crispy shrimp, a bottle of wine, bone-in ribeye and corn. I ordered the ribeye medium rare as always. It came out rare and charred on one side. The other side looked like it hadn't seen heat or the fire yet. We asked them to please cook a little more and to have it charred. They literally took it for three minutes it came back charred still on one side and still rare. The other side still hadn't seen a flame yet. Not one single person came to ask if it was ok. As a matter of fact the manager spoke to the people next to us for 10 minutes and the bartenders just casually glanced over but it seemed they were all avoiding us. The young lady behind the bar asked if we wanted our food boxed up and I said no. We still had half our corn left and over 3/4 of our steak. Never asked what was wrong with it or if we need a manager. Absolutely the worst experience. read more

Bring beginning to end, zero complaints. Roberto was our server, he was great, gave a thorough rundown of the menu, very informative!! Sat upstairs, dimly lit, very romantic. Good was great, ordered the grass fed by strip and the filet, cooked to perfection!! Burrata was delicious, the tomato jam was a great touch. The red velvet bread pudding is simply to die for!!! Definitely returning... for the bread pudding alone even!! read more

This was one of the top steakhouses I've been too. We traveled for business and it didn't disappoint. The service was spectacular and there was no shortage of someone ensuring you were well taken care of. The appetizers were a little pricey but didn't disappoint on flavor and presentation. The steak was beautiful and exactly what you would expect out of a top tier steakhouse. Beautiful scenery and from the time you enter to the time you leave you feel as if you are a high roller that deserves everything around you. Highly recommend. read more

I went here for my birthday before the Cowboy Carter concert and it was perfect. Our server was friendly and made great recommendations. She recommended an espresso martini and adjusted it for me because I said I preferred tequila. The inside was what you expect from a bougie expensive steak restaurant in Houston lol. I felt well taken care by all of the staff. And I was given a handwritten birthday card at the beginning of my meal. I had the bone in filet mignon with sides (I can't remember maybe asparagus) and the king crab mac and cheese. Which was delicious, but they were skimpy with the crab. I would definitely eat here again, but only for special occasions. read more

After living in Houston for so long, I'm surprised it took me this long to visit Steak 48. I had an amazing time. The food was great. The service was great. The dinner rolls brought to me when I sat down were so pillowy. I knew better than to fall for that trap though and only had one. For drinks I only had one and decided to try the River Oaks Rita. It was ok but I did have them rim the glass with Tajin which helped kick it up a notch. Next up were the Crispy Shrimp deviled eggs followed by the pork chops with the au gratin potatoes. Whew!!! My stomach found new meaning in its life!!! The pork chops appeared small but somehow two of them were enough and I had to get up from the table to walk around I left satisfied and can't wait to go back for more of the menu. read more

This place was sooo good! I didn't get the chance to take adequate photos since I was at a work dinner, but it was seriously amazing. The ambiance was dark and elegant. My favorite appetizer was the burrata with a tomato jam and some crispy crostinis. The combination of the sweet with the cheese was very pleasant it just needed a bit of a salt. Appetizers: 8/10 I got the roasted beet salad which is one of my favorite salads and the beets were cooked well and the goat cheese was really good but the dish was a bit too acidic for my taste 8.5/10 The steak was absolutely amazing! Definitely 10/10. It melted in your mouth and was so tender and very well seasoned. Not to mention the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts paired really well with it. The mashed potatoes were perfect and more of a purée but I still really liked them a lot. I recommend this place and advise people to dress up but don't worry too much about the dress code. A lot of the reviewers got made about people not adhering to the dress code, but the food and service/ambiance should be the focus of the restaurant. read more

I had such a great time at Steak 48! Our server, Krystal, was amazing--super attentive, easy to talk to, and just made the whole experience really enjoyable. We ended up chatting quite a bit throughout the night, which made it feel even more personal. It was pretty busy around 9:30pm, but Krystal still went above and beyond. She had Tina take a few photos of me at the restaurant, and they didn't stop until we got some great ones. Such a thoughtful touch! I had the petite filet mignon with sweet corn and the whipped praline sweet potato--everything was delicious. Krystal even surprised us with a complimentary treat, which was a really nice gesture. My date has been to Steak 44 in Scottsdale, and I've dined at Steak 48 in Charlotte a few times--this Houston location definitely held its own. Big thanks to Krystal for making the night so special! read more
