"Dallas is known as a steak town, and Al Biernat’s is one of the pioneering steak houses that helped build that reputation in the ’90s. Stop into one of its two locations for any cut at all — it won’t disappoint. Then, pair it with a martini of your choice. Biernat, the man behind the steakhouse, passed away last year and was known for his hospitality. Under his tutelage, Al Biernat’s also established the bar for exemplary service in Dallas, which still stands today." - Eater Staff
"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
