    I finally made it to Steiner Ranch Steakhouse and I am definitely going back. We were celebrating my birthday and made a reservation for 11:30. We got there a bit early, but our table was ready with a birthday message and we had a beautiful view overlooking Lake Travis. Our waiter, David, explained the setup and was very attentive during our meal. The brunch buffet had so many options from breakfast, lunch, and a carving and omelet station. I appreciated that the staff served you and kept the lids closed from a safety standpoint. All the food was delicious especially the huge pancakes, fresh pasta salad, and prime rib. My piece of advice is that gratuity was included for us, which was a group of four. I've never had that happen so be aware. Overall, I had a wonderful time and look forward to the next visit.

    Their breakfast/brunch buffet is a must try. They have a nice selection of plates. My only observation is that the spot is small.. unless you go there as soon as they open, it just becomes a cluster mess of people. Most of the stations are manned by the weight staff with the dessert and cold foods being self served.. but they never have any plates near by, to self serve, Which means you will have to go hunt for a plate.

    Steiner Ranch Steakhouse is my absolute favorite restaurant to go to. The food is so amazing! I love how the food always comes out fresh and hot. The customer service is amazing! I love coming here. I rave about this restaurant to family and friends. Highly recommend.

    One of my favorite parts of the year is December because it is filled with social gatherings and it is always so festive. Holiday party #2 with a community service group. We were scheduled to have a brunch at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse overlooking scenic Lake Travis. We had an all-you-can-eat buffet. First, as you drive up the hill to reach Steiner Ranch Steakhouse you take in the beauty of the Texas hill country. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse sits at the top of the hill with scenic panoramic views. The building has a country feel with a Santa hanging off a pole on the outside entryway. Also, on the side of this building is their XS smokehouse. When you walk inside you experience true Texas flare - from the saddles sprinkled throughout the restaurant to Texas furniture and wall hangings. At the entry, in the spirit of the holidays, was giant cowboy toy soldier. It certainly embraces the theme that we do everything big in Texas. The food...the buffet is divided into four main sections 1) made to order omelets (beware: no egg whites) and carving station (ham, turkey, pork) 2) Main entree - mash potatoes, King casserole, meat balls, breads, etc. 3) Breakfast foods - pancakes, biscuits, gravy, eggs, migas, bacon, shrimp, etc. and 4) fruit, desserts, french toast, etc. Buffets are not ideal for me. I feel compelled to try a little of everything and do not eat all my food. Today's buffet was good and very filling.

    While in town the local owners took me to dinner here and I think it was great! From the biscuits to the steak to the cheesecake for dessert, it was all great! We had William as a server and he was fantastic as well. It's a great old ranch style steakhouse. Tuesday night and we would not have footed in without a reservation, make sure you set a reservation before you go!! Also, super cool menus that light up when you open them!!

    The food and service here are genuinely top-tier. In fact, this may be one of the best steaks in Austin--and I say that as someone who has chewed my way through elite cuts across Texas and beyond. I especially appreciated that their signature steaks actually come with sides (crisp, fresh green beans and richly seasoned mashed potatoes) instead of the à la carte upsell so many steakhouses rely on. The restaurant itself is spacious, with a great outdoor area overlooking the Steiner Ranch neighborhood. But a couple of things kept the experience from being flawless--minor annoyances rather than deal breakers. First, the dining room is very dark. I'm all for ambiance, but our table didn't even have a candle, which may explain why the menu is backlit. Second, for a restaurant this large, having essentially single-use restrooms feels mismatched. I had to wait in line twice, and it wasn't even a particularly busy evening. Still, the service and the steak alone makes the trip worthwhile--and that's coming from someone who knows a great cut when he tastes one.

    Beautiful sunset, great band, and one of the best and softest starter bread baskets I've ever had in my life - even though it was probably 50% butter. It also feels like a mini Austin getaway. Probably one of the best prime ribs in Austin, and great value for the portion size too! Definitely recommend dinner and their happy hour as well. The wine is just a bit overpriced for the quality, but you gotta keep margins up somewhere I suppose.

    Celebrated my parent's 50th Anniversary at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. The restaurant is gorgeous! We sat in a private room with a great view of Lake Travis. The food was outstanding. The table ordered: Wedge salads, lobster mac & cheese, salmon, filets, short rib, fried lobster and Steiner burger. The food was on point! Suzanne was our server. She did fantastic! Such a nice gal. We'll be back for sure.

    Medallion trio was delicious and lobster Mac and cheese

    Great setting and food, service was excellent. Band was a little loud on the patio. Overall great time!

    I visited Steiner Ranch for my anniversary while in Austin. First off, our server was amazing--super friendly and attentive, which made the evening feel special. We ordered the crab cakes, lobster-topped asparagus, and a steak. The appetizers were great, but when it came to the steak, I found it a bit underwhelming. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I had gone with a different cut like a New York strip or ribeye, as this one lacked some of the flavor I was hoping for. Overall, a nice experience with great service, but I'd choose a different cut next time. The dessert was a great touch the scenic views was the star of the show

    I typically avoid leaving negative feedback, but I felt it was important to offer constructive criticism based on my recent visit to Steiner Ranch Steakhouse for an evening graduation celebration. Our group was moderately sized and had a reservation. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful both inside and out. Located in the Steiner Ranch neighborhood, it offers stunning sunset and Lake Austin views. The interior is intimate, featuring multiple dining rooms with a mildly formal, rustic Texas steakhouse atmosphere. Outdoor seating is also available. Food: The menu offers a solid variety, including steaks, seafood, and other classic options. While taste is subjective, several members of my multi-ethnic group found the entrées to be fairly moderate, with nothing particularly standing out. The appetizers, however, were more memorable flavor-wise. Desserts were excellent--both the chocolate cake and bread pudding were moist and outstanding. One downside was that despite detailed discussion about steak temperatures, a couple of steaks arrived overcooked. Service: The hostess, bartenders, and management were professional. Our server, William, was knowledgeable but at times came across as sarcastic and disengaged, which impacted the overall experience. Service overall felt below expectations for a fine-dining establishment. Multiple guests had to repeatedly request water refills, despite the restaurant not being consistently busy. Nearby tables were assisted by both a server and a server assistant, while our section appeared under-supported. Given the limited number of tables, more attentive water and table checks would have been appreciated. Overall: Steiner Ranch Steakhouse offers a beautiful setting and strong desserts, but inconsistencies in food execution and service diminished what should have been a memorable celebration. With improved attentiveness and consistency, the experience could better match the restaurant's reputation.

    Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has one of the best brunches in the city. You'll want to make a reservation as this place gets quite busy. You'll be amazed by the ambiance and decor. The buffet has almost every food you can think of or they can make food to order. They even have a carving station. I recommend ordering mimosas with your meal.

    A wonderful place for an anniversary dinner on the patio at sunset! The food and service were amazing as usual. I had a delicious Lemoncello Martini and of course our steaks were also delicious! We went on a Friday and there was some live music on the patio so that made it even more fun. I highly recommend Steiner Ranch for any special dinner or just for date night, you really can't go wrong.

We arrived early, mainly to have a bite to eat before the tasting. Not a whole lot of food available, so we shared a couple of sandwiches. Not great, but it hit the spot. They need more food selections! The wine tasting event was first class all the way. A Winebow distributor presentation of wines from Tuscany. Very well presented, the wines presented were very good. The presenter offered extensive knowledge of the area and wineries included in the tasting. The Wine Cellar provided a nice space, somewhat small for the number in attendance. There was a cheese and charcuterie plate on each table. Really nice was the fact that the staff opened and poured the reds about one hour before the class started, giving the bold wines a change to open up a bit before the tasting started. All in all a wonderful evening. The wines presented were all very good. The Wine Cellar has a first-class wine list, comprising some of the "best of the best" from around the world... and at reasonable prices too! Recommend The Wine Cellar for a glass, a bottle, or a wine tasting class!

Responses were a bit slow initially, but with a few follow-ups she was helpful and did a good job answering my questions and clarifying details. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it a great choice for a festive gathering. Our reservation was in the evening in mid-December, so we did not get to experience the outdoor views, which I imagine are beautiful. That said, the indoor dining experience was still very pleasant. Our waitress was wonderful. She was accommodating, communicative, and professional throughout the evening. The food was tasty and well presented, and overall the group seemed happy with their selections. I ordered the bolognese. It was not the best I have had, but it also did not feel like a standout dish on the menu. I would be open to trying other options next time. Overall, we had a positive experience and would return. We are looking forward to coming back.

They have this ceiling fans open that I don't know what's the reason behind opening it when the weather is so cold. And who puts string lights close to a ceiling fan??? It was a nightmare for me and my family members.. the ceiling fan and all the outdoor dining is a big safety concern! The ceiling fan got broken after it hit the string lights and one of the propellers broke and suddenly flew to my face, luckily I saw it and just turned around but still hit my neck to shoulder area. It was a huge, thick fan propeller and I don't think people will understand this if you didn't experience or saw it in person. Everybody was in shock and panicky because no one is turning off that ceiling fan even if it was still broken and hit ME on my neck! My family had to shout a few times just so everyone is aware to turn off the ceiling fan! Compensated all of our food but it will but our life will never be the same again.. the trauma you this restaurant caused us! And I think the staff wasn't really fully trained to execute an emergency because they don't even know what to do and at the end they just offered me free wine and the calling card of who ever we need to talk incase we have future claims with them. Other than that, one of the staff members were a little bit nosy and staring at us and giving us that annoying look! And that's unacceptable and inappropriate. To conclude this, someone needs to be liable.. definitely not coming back to any restaurants named after this company in future. Luckily, the food and server was good but still not a solution to a horrible accident that could have been prevented by the staff or maintenance. Safety of customers is the top priority but they have ZERO of that yesterday! Thank God for the EMT and for my family who took care of me.
