\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAl Biernat’s steak dinner. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Gustav Schmiege<\/p>\n

Al Biernat\u2019s has been a defining steakhouse in Dallas dining since it opened in 1998. <\/p>\n

It was opened by founder and restaurateur Al Biernat, who became a defining figure in Dallas dining before passing in 2024. Until recently, Al Biernat\u2019s has had only two locations: the original in Oak Lawn and a second in North Dallas, which opened in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"alAl Biernat opened his namesake steakhouse on Oak Lawn in 1998 and a second location in North Dallas in 2017.<\/p>\n

Now, one of Dallas\u2019 most storied steakhouses is opening its third location in Fort Worth at 913 Houston St., right next to the Fort Worth Convention Center and the Texas A&M Fort Worth Campus, both of which are undergoing massive renovations.<\/p>\n

An iconic name for an historic space<\/p>\n

The corner of W. 9th Street and Houston Street that Al Biernat\u2019s will take up was originally built in the 1950s for a Farm & Home Savings store. Its latest tenant was a bank before it was vacated in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Jax Hatton and Oliver Steinberg, brokers with The Retail Connection (TRC), represented the landlord in the transaction when the building was bought in late spring 2025. Steinberg owned the building through Eagle Equity Inc., a Dallas-based real estate investment and development company. Both are partnering with Brad Fuller, nephew of Al Biernat and now co-owner and general manager of the steakhouse, to expand the restaurant to Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

Steinberg thought \u201ca high-end hospitality group would be the perfect fit for the space\u201d from the beginning, noting the interior architecture and floor-to-ceiling windows within the midcentury modern brick and glass building. His frequent visits to Al Biernat\u2019s in Dallas proved that the steakhouse\u2019s relationship-driven philosophy was a perfect fit for a relationship-driven city like Fort Worth. \u201cWhether it is your first visit or you are a longtime regular, Brad Fuller and his team make an effort to make you feel important and deliver an 11\/10 experience, every single time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also adamant to bring what he believes is \u201cthe best steaks in Texas\u201d to Fort Worth\u2019s rapidly growing Downtown.<\/p>\n

\"\"Al Biernat\u2019s will open it\u2019s first restaurant west of the Trinity River. <\/p>\n

The Fort Worth Convention Center is undergoing a $701 million transformation, and Texas A&M just unveiled its brand-new $240 million, eight-story School of Law building on Aug. 5. Both of these projects are spearheading other projects down the pipeline, including an innovation district, hotel and more buildings from Texas A&M. On the same block, the same group behind The Mont is opening a new subterranean Mexican restaurant called Beverly\u2019s inside the historic Hogan Building at 901 Houston Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely bullish on downtown Fort Worth,\u201d shared Steinberg, \u201cIt is incredibly impressive to watch the investment and momentum coming together and see what downtown Fort Worth is becoming. I think the pedestrian activity in this immediate area is going to be incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Al Biernat’s steak dinner.
