First time visit. Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. My wife and I were seated immediately and our order taken quickly. We were well taken care of and checked on several times while waiting for our order. I had a hickory burger and it was oh, so good! It was cooked to perfection, the beef had a wonderful flavor, and the cheddar cheese was piled high. My wife had the French dip and she loved hers as well. Overall, we had an excellent experience. Great food and great service! I highly recommend Bartlett’s Restaurant!!!

This is one of the first restaurants I visited when I moved to Austin in the 90’s when it was called Houston’s. It has always been great with their food, atmosphere, and service. I personally like the lunch menu more because that’s the only way to get their club sandwich.

We’ve lived near Bartlett’s for 10 years and this was the first time we visited. I’m kicking myself on why I waited this long! It is old school steakhouse vibe with dark ambience and cute booths. Their dinner reservations are slightly hard to come by so I’m glad we were able to get in. The dirty martini I got was incredible. They listened to what I wanted and made the drink exactly that way. The grilled artichoke was delicious albeit small. As with any artichoke, there isn’t much to eat but the flavor was really good. The traditional salad I got was really good; it needed a tiny bit more dressing. Still, the champagne vinaigrette I assume was made in house and it was perfectly balanced. The steaks were amazing. Hubby ordered a 8 oz filet but they brought him a 5 oz. They immediately fixed it for him and didn’t even charge us for the 8 oz! The customer service is impeccable. Dessert was the star of the show. The hot fudge in the hot fudge sundae was homemade, thick, luscious… we were all scooping the last remnants out of the silver gravy boat! The key lime pie is worth the $. The crust is not a cheapy graham cracker but a toasty, nutty pecan crust. My kids brought home leftovers and forgot about them so lucky for me, I get to still enjoy it! I absolutely cannot wait to come back to Bartlett’s. I gotta make up for the past 10 years of missing this place!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin especially for a chilled martini, delicious steak & fine glass of wine. They've got quite a variety by the glass. Service at the bar was excellent and fast but allowed single diners a leisurely pace to enjoy a fine dining meal. This is the former Houston's so there are a lot of standards & favorites on the menu. The pricing is appropriate in relation to the high quality, preparation, taste and consistency of the meal. The restaurant stays busy especially on the weekends so you may have a bit of a wait. The Hawaiian ribeye is phenomenal as was the cheesecake with raspberry sauce.

Truly one of the best restaurants in Austin! Drinks, ambience, and food are all 10 star level. I had the Grill chicken salad with Field greens, cilantro, roasted peanuts, tortilla strips, honey-lime vinaigrette, peanut sauce. My personal favorite. Wife and sister had the filet and ribeye cooked to perfection! We live out of town so each time we come Austin it’s a must visit to Bartlett’s

We tried Bartlett's for the first time on Saturday! We had a reservation for 4:30 in the afternoon. I do recommend getting a reservation because even at this early time, the restaurant was almost completely full. They don't have a ton of parking but there's more in the shopping center behind the bushes of the Bartlett's lot. The restaurant is pretty dark so it feels fancy and romantic. We were happy to be seated near a window up a few steps so that we had a little more light. Our food came pretty quickly and everything was delicious and was generous portions. We even asked for bread and butter, which wasn't on the menu, and they brought us some! Our waiter seemed like he was pretending to be happy and was more robotic than conversational, but still nice. It was overall a nice time and seems to be one of the more affordable steakhouses in the Austin area.
