The best Prime Rib in town. Very good steaks, but McKlusky's is better.

Blake Krass (3/25/95)

Food is good, and atmosphere is interesting. Chateaubriand (sp?) is excellent, but got so expensive we finally quit going. The prices seem to be set assuming each diner has a 25% off coupon.

Mark Hanna (5/1/96)

I read the comments on the Austin WWW Guide to Steak Houses before coming to Austin from Boston. I've been doing a lot of traveling the past several weeks and the Old San Francisco is the one restaurant I would like to take home with me. My very good filet mignon , the excellent waiting staff, the athletic girl on the swing, and the old time style made for an unforgettable meal. I am sorry I missed trying one of McKlusky's steaks, but if I return to Austin I will probably return to the Old San Francisco.

If you can put up with the hokey atmosphere, has the best steaks and Rack of Lamb I have had in a long time. Fairly priced. Great place to take your parents, the old folks love it.

Reader Remarks

Dewey Coffman (3/5/95)

Steaks are tender, with a perhaps a bit too much salt, but good none-the-less. It's usually very busy at the Northwest location.

Ruth's Chris Steak House

3010 Guadelupe

Tel: (512) 477-7884

Reader Remarks

John Bond (3/25/95)

Over advertised. Over hyped. Over Priced. A very MOR steak house. Not worth it. Stuart Anderson's was better and they went out of business here.

Blake Krass (3/25/95)

Finally decided to try it once. As someone else posted, we thought it was overrated and overpriced.

Dewey Coffman

It's high-priced, but not over-priced. You definately get what you pay for. The prime rib is only good sometimes, but the Ribeye and New York Strip are usually excellant.

Mark Herro (4/10/95)

I also found Ruth Chris' a big yawn.

Roger Perry (6/22/96)

A terrible restaurant. A $20 steak, and they charge you $5 for a $0.25 baked potato! The steaks weren't that good either.

U.R.Cooks Steakhouse

9012 Research Blvd.

Tel: (512) 453-8350

Reader Remarks

Blake Krass (3/25/95)

My wife and I think this place has the best steaks around. The price is excellent, and you can always split a steak for two if you plan to pig out on bread, salad, and baked potatoes. Fun place to go with a group. Sunday afternoons it is empty while there are 30 minute wait at other places nearby.

Dewey Coffman (7/31/95)

If you are really hungry for lots of BEEF, this is a good place for you. The cook it yourself aspect is kinda fun, but you still pay quite a bit ($20) a head to get out the door.
