Steiner Steakhouse set to open Friday
Instead of shopping the day after Thanksgiving, Bobby Steiner will be opening the Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. He is excited, after months of waiting, to offer the upscale eatery to the community that bears his name.
“You want something to be good if it has your name on it. And the [steakhouse] sure is a first-class deal. We wanted to go in with something that would complement the community,” said Steiner, a majority owner in the tri-level, 14,280-square-foot steakhouse.
The house specialty will be Bobby’s bone-in filet. Other menu standouts are expected to be the chicken-fried elk, cedar plank salmon and Denver lamb baby backs. The steaks range in price from $21 to $48. There is also a wine list that has more than 160 selections.
Steiner was “totally impressed” when he and others involved in the venture had a tasting of everything on the menu recently. They tweaked dishes and gave the menu their final okay. A reception was also held Saturday night for invited guests with more sampling. The official opening is on Friday, Nov. 28.
The steakhouse, with a seating capacity of 500, is located in the Steiner Ranch community off of Steiner Ranch Boulevard. It serves USDA prime beef and will be open for dinners.
The Steiners have more than 100 years of cowboy history and are one of the original rodeo families in Texas. The steakhouse sits on a part of the original Steiner Ranch where the family kept its rodeo stock and practice arenas.
There are family photos on every level of the restaurant showing shots taken with celebrities such as country singer Gene Autry and Ken Curtis, who played Festus Haggen in the television series “Gunsmoke.”
There are also shots of rodeo parades and of Bobby Steiner riding a bull the year he became World Champion Bull Rider. More photos depict cattle branding, as well as ranching shots taken from a helicopter. There is even a saddle in the waiting room.
Each dining level features miles of Hill Country and Lake Travis views. A fire pit and lots of lanterns create the atmosphere.
Don Burdette, president of Lufkin, Texas-based Great Texas Foods Inc., is operating the restaurant.
All steaks will be prepared on an 1,800 degree radiant broiler that “sears the steak top and bottom and holds the natural flavors and moisture in the steak,” said Burdette, who has restaurants in Florida, Louisiana and Texas including Mexican food chain Cafe Del Rio and seafood chain Ralph & Kacoo’s Restaurants.
Burdette used to run Texas Smokehouse Foods Inc., a food manufacturing business and the largest barbeque manufacturer in the world, he said. In 1996 ConAgra Poultry Co. bought out the multi-million dollar company that produced smoked, batter-breaded and marinated meat and poultry products.
The Steiner Steakhouse has a staff of approximately 100 employees, including an event coordinator.
