The Judges Have Delivered: Central Texas Steakhouse Rated Third Best in North America

According to The Austin American-Statesman, not only does great beef come out of Texas, but there is also a restaurant located in Central Texas that has been named the number-three steakhouse on the continent. Known for its dry-aged cuts and polished service, Jeffrey’s, the Clarksville spot in Austin, has taken the position as the third-best steakhouse in the country.

Why Central Texas’s Steakhouse Was Voted No. 3 in All of North America

Don’t get me wrong—we have amazing steakhouses in Texas such as Ruth’s Chris, Fogo de Chão, and Perry’s. But Jeffrey’s is known to be the go-to spot if you want the best cut, and now we see why. When someone asked how and why Jeffrey’s outranked other restaurants as the best steakhouse, the response was simple: the in-house aging and the custom wood-fire grill process allow the meat’s natural character to speak for itself.

What Makes Jefferey's Different From Other Steak Houses?

You’d think that being in Texas, this might be a steakhouse that leans into the whole cowboy culture—but it doesn’t. It’s a beautiful, quiet-luxury establishment that has been described as attentive but never intrusive. Maybe you want to impress a date. Maybe you want to celebrate something special. If you’re looking for the spot ranked number three on the continent, Jeffrey’s is where you go.
