Possibly one of the best steaks we've ever had! Simple, reasonably priced, authentic atmosphere, friendly staff.
Salad was fresh and crisp with a simple and refreshingly zesty lime and garlic dressing.
We went with the ribeye and tenderloin, both medium-rare, both tender, juicy, and so tasty.
If you're not a fan of butter or garlic, or looking for a fancy place, then I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
Absolutely delightful experience for us. 💖
The Original Hofbrau has been on W 6th St since 1932, and the decor shows it. The menu is simple and the only choice is what meat you want, but it does allow for a two person operation. You will eat the “love it or leave it” salad will depend on how much you like garlic. Personally, we'd skip the potato wedges and pay extra for the order the onion rings The steaks are reasonably priced when you compare them to a high end steak restaurant. Our tenderloins are cut very thin. The menu says the bread is meant for soppin’. We get it when the meat arrives, because the steak is swimming in a butter sauce.
Still as good as I remember! So glad they're open! I got the ribeye and a bourbon+coke. Great meal!
This. Place. Is. Amazing. We literally loved everything, and was the best steak we have ever had. We have eaten at MANY steakhouses. No frills, just delicious food. My margarita was tasty as well! Not to mention, you are greeted promptly by truly caring staff/owners. We will probably eat here once or twice a month from now on!
Love this steakhouse. It is 110 times better that any other out there. The cook delivers a perfectly cooked steak every time. With every steak you get an awesome olive oil and lemon butter dressing salad, and wedge cut fresh potatoes cooked on the grill. The steaks are so juicy that you will want to sit a slice of bread in the juice an then eat it, YUM. I also like to order onion rings. They have a full bar so get your whiskey there too. I wanted to take more pictures but the food was just so good I wanted to enjoy every bite.
No frills. No nonsense. Just steak.
Classic Austin steakhouse around for over 80 years and the steak is still voted one of the best in Austin. It comes with a small salad, some fried potato wedges and some bread. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and slathered with garlic butter that just uplifts the flavor.
And a 16oz Ribeye for $32.95? I’m sold.
Awesome place, the steaks are delicious just look at the pictures 🤤
Everything was excellent! Food!! Staff! I asked specific questions that were answered in detail. Very nice staff! Amazing food! Simple menu made the whole meal about the steak! Loved it! Will absolutely be back and will bring people! I may sing it from the rooftops! There's a reason they've been around for over 85 years!!!
I had the luxury of eating there late 80's, early 90's, and this place was amazing, Huge sirloin steaks, great salad, and steak potatoes. I got to know the ladies there so well, they gave the recipe for the salad (not that difficult). I can now make this meal myself, it is actually my favorite meal, and takes me back there every time.
Why does it say temporarily closed???? I love this place, it better not go anywhere!
