"ALC is a small-town Texas steakhouse hiding in a quiet strip mall near 12th and Lamar. Around the dining room, there are old guitars and Longhorn skulls perched on walls, and carved wooden cowboys standing guard outside of the smaller, semi-private rooms. The meals are old-school and relaxed, with a pretty standard menu of steaks and chops that arrive with grill marks that look like they were drawn on with a ruler and a Sharpie. The best part is you don’t need to make a reservation days or weeks in advance like at many of the other steakhouses in Austin." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
