“We ate here before the Texas Stampede rodeo at the American Airlines Center nearby. It is a nice little place in the West End. Steak house without all the stuffiness! The decor is Texana after the ranch of the same name. The music is Texas/country-fits the decor. Still manages to be nice and provide an elegant feel.
The service was prompt and friendly. We missed out on the wine, would have liked to see the half bottle or single glass of our bottle on the list. The Louie’s venison appetizer was AWESOME! We loved it. We were skeptical, but were convinced quickly. The buffalo filet was a little overcooked, but unique. Try it at one lower setting (medium, medium/well) than you are used to and it should be fine. Lobster was great. The Jack Daniel’s pecan pie was a nice touch. I would love to try the sweet potato cheese cake next time.
Mid to upper range price wise depending on what and how many courses you get.
5$ valet parking in front is the same as the surface lot behind the restaurant??
A good experience and a nice touch for the West End.”

“I’ve had some great steaks in Chicago, New York and so forth, but this place takes the cake.
Unlike the aged beef steaks these babies come right from their own ranch daily. No freezer just fresh beef so soft you can cut it with your knife.
Everyone I send there is blown away.
Can’t wait to fly to Dallas again soon”

“We love a great steakhouse and are always happy when we find something unique that sets a local one apart from the upscale chains. Surprisingly, the thing that set this place apart was the smoked mashed potatoes! Of course, the buffalo filet was outstanding but the potatoes were so good we actually ordered a second plate! The selection of game is great if you’re feeling adventurous. The buffalo filet is absolutely worth it. Our waiter was the best (can’t remember his name, but he’s a Philly transplant), and we would definitely go back. Soooooooo glad we didn’t bother with Morton’s!”

“I ate here while in downtown Dallas for a night. Amazingly good food. I had the barbecued shrimp – the biggest, fattest, juiciest, tastiest shrimp I’ve ever had. My coworker had the buffalo filet mignon and it looked delicious too. A little pricey but well worth it!”

“This is a restaurant that simply excels at serving the finest steak in the world, cooked to utter perfection, served neatly and unpretentiously, by friendly and competent staff.
Whilst on a business trip to Dallas, we chanced across this Steakhouse after asking the proprietor of the shop opposite it whom he would recommend for a good steak in Dallas. Having already done several meals at a good few establishments in the Dallas area we thought we’d give it a go, and ordered their special, which was a combo of Buffalo steak, Quail breasts with rice and cranberry sauce, and a venison medallion. I asked for mine rare.
The food arrived with an assortment of mixed vegetables on a decent size plate, and it all looked good and inviting. Cutting a piece of the Buffalo steak, it ws cooked to perfection, just 1.5 millimeters of brown, and the rest perfectly rare. But it was my first bite that simply blew my tastebuds away! Being of South African extraction and having grown up there, I pride myself on having eaten my fair share of beef, and I know a good steak when I taste one. This one was simply leaps and bounds beyond the best steak I’d ever eaten, by miles and miles. It was so tender it almost melted in my mouth, and the spices were just perfect, whatever they were.
The Quail breasts and their cranberry sauce were incredible as well, but sadly overshadowed a bit by the sensational taste of the buffalo. On their own they would have constituted a meal fit for a King – so you start getting how good the Buffalo is?
The venison was also done to perfection, and while a little unremarkable by comparison to the other two meats, I think it would be unfair not to say it was also delicious.
We had the meal with a Texan Cabernet, which, not being particularly fond of new world wines, I was pleasantly surprised at.
We went back the next night! Drove all the way from Southlake back into downtown Dallas, through horrendous traffic, just for that Buffalo again!
I would recommend this establishment without reserve!”
