Amazing atmosphere, food and service. One of the floor managers, Eddie, treated us like royalty. Will go back just to see him again...and the bartender is the best!!

It was our first time in Al Biernat's.Heard a lot about it so had to experience. On a business trip our driver dropped us of outside a structure that looked nothing like the entrance of a restaurant. Inside a very average crowded environment.The waiter although friendly had us wait 20 min to serve our drinks. Food was good.Steak was excellent.... More

I know all of the Dallas restaurants well and Al Biernat's is at the top of my list. The filet mignon is the best in the city! There are other Dallas restaurants that have great food but none have the ambiance of Al's. This is where those who know the Dallas scene choose to dine. Who knows...you might even see... More

I could not have been more pleased with the food and service. Four of us had Saturday night reservations and were promptly seated and served a nice basket of bread while we perused the menu. We began with the wedge and caesar salads followed by a 14-oz filet which was shared, and the bone-in 24-oz rib-eye, also shared. Had we... More

This is my favorite restaurant in Dallas with one of the BEST bar scenes in town. Definitely allow time for cocktails in the bar with Danny Versfelt, Jessie and crew - they are amazing bartenders and very personable too. The food is OUTSTANDING! Al maintains a great menu with excellent beef choices (the best cuts of beef in Dallas) and... More

The food, wine and service was very good, but it is a very noisy restaurant when it is full as it was when we went on a Sunday evening. We shared appetizers, including Oysters Rockefeller, and most had beef. We were in a booth (5 people) which was a bit challenging when you needed a visit to the ladies room.

We ate dinner at the restaurant after being told by a colleague that the food was delicious and the concierge and the drivers from the Adolphus all recommending it. We arrived at least 45 minutes in advance of our reservation, but the hostess graciously offered to seat us. We declined and asked to sit in the bar for a drink.... More

Al Biernat's earns a big five stars from me. The food is outstanding and plentiful: you'd better have an appetite when you eat here. I ate here twice during a recent conference and both meals were superb. The steaks were Texas-tende. The service was attentive. There is a small outdoor dining area that is delightful on a nice evening. All... More
