    We enjoyed the patio and drinks. Appetizers were good with the tuna tar tar being excellent. Calamari was like warm as were crab cakes. Shrimp cocktail was tasty. Prime Rib was just ok. Having eaten at Lowrys recently I wouldn’t recommend Prime Rib at Al Biernat’s. This restaurant is pricey and on average probably 200 per person minimum. I expect more in food quality for these prices.

    This is my favorite Dallas steakhouse. It's got a great ambiance, and the food is always amazing. This has become my annual Birthday lunch go to place. Their patios are beautiful and perfect for this time of year when it's not so hot. The service is impeccable as well. Highly recommend Al Biernat's on Oak Lawn!
