Perry's Steakhouse, Upscale steakhouse in Downtown Austin, United States.
Perry's Steakhouse is an upscale American restaurant in downtown Austin, housed inside the Norwood Tower, where the menu centers on aged beef cuts, fresh seafood, and house-made dishes. The dining room is divided into several sections, with private areas available for groups or special occasions.
The chain behind this restaurant was founded in Houston in 1979 as a small butcher shop before it grew into a multi-location dining group across Texas. The Austin location in Norwood Tower came later as part of that expansion, bringing the original concept to the state capital.
Texas has a long tradition of treating a great cut of beef as the centerpiece of any meal, and this restaurant makes that visible through tableside presentations and the way staff describe each cut. The room draws both business crowds and families, giving it a grounded feel that goes beyond a purely formal dining experience.
A reservation is a good idea, particularly on weekday evenings and weekends when the restaurant fills up with business dinners and celebrations. Walk-in guests can usually find a seat at the bar, where the full menu is also available.
The restaurant's best-known dish is a pork chop that takes several days to prepare through curing, roasting, smoking, and a final caramelization over high heat. It is served as a Friday special and is so large that many guests take leftovers home.
