     I can't believe you didn't list Austin Land & Cattle Company (around 15th

Reader Remarks

John Bond (3/25/95)
     The best Prime Rib in town. Very good steaks, but McKlusky's is better.
Blake Krass (3/25/95)
     Food is good, and atmosphere is interesting. Chateaubriand (sp?) is
     excellent, but got so expensive we finally quit going. The prices seem to
     be set assuming each diner has a 25% off coupon.

Reader Remarks

Dewey Coffman (3/5/95)
     Steaks are tender, with a perhaps a bit too much salt, but good
     none-the-less. It's usually very busy at the Northwest location.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruth's Chris Steak House
3010 Guadelupe
Tel: (512) 477-7884

Reader Remarks

John Bond (3/25/95)
     Over advertised. Over hyped. Over Priced. A very MOR steak house. Not
     worth it. Stuart Anderson's was better and they went out of business here.
Blake Krass (3/25/95)
     Finally decided to try it once. As someone else posted, we thought it was
     overrated and overpriced.
Dewey Coffman
     It's high-priced, but not over-priced. You definately get what you pay
     for. The prime rib is only good sometimes, but the Ribeye and New York
     Strip are usually excellant.
Mark Herro (4/10/95)
     I also found Ruth Chris' a big yawn.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tokyo Steak House
3563 Far West Blvd.
Tel: (512) 346-3112

Reader Remarks

Dewey Coffman (7/31/95)
     Good tasting steaks and lobsters cooked at your table. Pricey and the
     portions are small but a good show.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.R.Cooks Steakhouse
9012 Research Blvd.
Tel: (512) 453-8350

Reader Remarks

Blake Krass (3/25/95)
     My wife and I think this place has the best steaks around. The price is
     excellent, and you can always split a steak for two if you plan to pig out
     on bread, salad, and baked potatoes. Fun place to go with a group. Sunday
     afternoons it is empty while there are 30 minute wait at other places
     nearby.
Dewey Coffman (7/31/95)
     If you are really hungry for lots of BEEF, this is a good place for you.
     The cook it yourself aspect is kinda fun, but you still pay quite a bit
     ($20) a head to get out the door.
