Austin's Steak, Steakhouse in Knoxville, United States
Austin's Steak is a steakhouse in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, focused on cuts of beef grilled over hardwood. The menu covers options such as ribeye, filet mignon, and New York strip, each cooked to the guest's preference.
The restaurant opened in downtown Knoxville in the 1990s, introducing the traditional American steakhouse format to the local dining scene. Over the following decades, it became a regular choice for residents looking for a serious meat-focused meal.
Austin's Steak has the feel of a classic American steakhouse, with low lighting, set tables, and a formal but unhurried pace. People in Knoxville tend to choose it for special occasions rather than everyday meals.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends, since tables fill up quickly in the evening. Complimentary valet parking is available at night, which is helpful given the downtown location.
The beef is aged in temperature-controlled rooms and then hand-cut before reaching the grill, a step that most diners never see but that shapes the final result on the plate. This dry-aging process is done in-house rather than sourced from a third party.
