Al Biernat's Oak Lawn

"Al Biernat’s partners with Dean & Peeler, a San Antonio-based ranch, to offer exclusive beef products like a cowboy cut 24-ounce bone-in ribeye and a KC cut 22-ounce bone-in strip." - Courtney E. Smith

"In 1998, when Biernat was in his 40s, he opened Al Biernat’s in Oak Lawn — his own steakhouse. It was like unlocking the floodgates of steak. It may be difficult to imagine, but Dallas was not always a town known for its steakhouses, and Al Biernat’s, along with the openings of Nick & Sam’s, Pappa’s Brothers, and III Forks, helped usher in an era where that reputation was made. The restaurant opened a second location in North Dallas in 2017. Numerous celebrities have stopped into Al Biernat’s over the years, including Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, every significant Dallas sports figure, and former president George W. Bush. Then there was the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas when Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, and Jerry Jones all dined there." - Courtney E. Smith

"Sometimes you just want classic steakhouse fare. This place does it well." - Courtney E. Smith

"Sometimes Dad just wants a steak. Scratch the itch with brunch and dinner specials here on Father’s Day. Get 6 oz, filet mignon for $34.75, a 12 oz. filet nignon for $59.75, a 16 oz. Prime New York strip for $62.75, or the 22 oz. Prime cowboy cut ribeye for $69.75. All are served with red potatoes and green beans." - Courtney E. Smith

"Fitness-obsessed Raven Ross picked a steakhouse, and her recommendation is to “[order] the Al’s Salad with BOTH dressings on the side to mix them up!” But she does also suggest getting into the dessert menu, calling it “amazing.”" - Courtney E. Smith
