Excellent food and impeccable service. Brent, our waiter, was knowledgeable and met our needs flawlessly. It was my father’s 72nd birthday dinner, and this was the perfect place to celebrate life. From the first cocktail to the last sip of espresso, we all had a marvelous experience at III Forks. Thank you!!!

The food at this place is absolutely phenomenal and the service is truly outstanding. Although we encountered a minor issue with one of our steaks being overcooked, the staff went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Not only did they bring out a new steak and remove it from the bill, but they also surprised us with complimentary shrimp cocktail and a full tray of delicious desserts. Throughout the entire experience, both the manager, Terry, and our server, Gina, made multiple visits to our table to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I can confidently say that I have never encountered better service anywhere else.

We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner - it was delicious and everything you would want to have. Everyone at the restaurant was very nice and helpful from the front staff to the servers. One thing - it would be really nice to have a way to help out your disabled guests. The valet is quite a distance from the restaurant door. Maybe you could find a way to call them to get a car to the front door? Thank you for making our day special!

We came here on Thanksgiving for a "leftover free" dinner. This was our first outing and we were very impressed. Ambience, food, and service were exceptional. Not inexpensive, but we will certainly keep them on the short list for special occasions.

We booked through open table and mentioned it was my brother's birthday, party of 7. WOW, III Forks pulled out all the stops with zero direction from us. They gave us a private room, the most excellent attention, two kinds of cake and a birthday shot for the table. We could not have been happier with the quality of service and of course, Ben, our head waiter was such a delight.

We have been dining here for over 10 years. We've never had a better steak and there are so many choices: strip, filet, ribeye, ribeye cap, tomahawk, etc., and do you want choice, prime, 75 day dry aged, Wagyu? Just as important for us is the service. My wife and I met when we were both in the restaurant business, many years ago, so we know good food and good service. Try to get either Edgar or Eric as your captain (waiter). Both are outstanding! We have never been disappointed, which is why we keep coming back year after year. Prices are reasonable for both, food and wine. It is our benchmark: we compare all fine dining places against III Forks. None are as good when it comes to steaks. We go to Eddie V's for seafood, but always to III Forks for steak. And yes, there are other good steak houses in Austin. A second choice might be Eddie V's or Perry's or Bob's, but III Forks is #1.

NY Strip was good, not as good as I've had in the past at III Forks. I've had a couple of the best steaks of my life there in the past, this one wasn't in that category. Appetizer and sides were excellent as usual Service was impeccable, as it has been every time I've been there. As a nice touch, the waiter gave us each a pour of a very good red wine on the house and the manager came by to greet us.

A “good” experience overall. Brussels sprouts where the high light of the night, Filet was solid but not knock your socks off, and lobster Mac and cheese didn’t live up to the hype. Added the kings butter, good flavor…worth $16? Not for me, but you decide. Overall value wasn’t great, still fun to try.

I booked a birthday dinner for my husband and when we arrived we were taken to a private room that was beautiful. When the waiter arrived he made a point to tell him Happy Birthday as well as the manager that came in to check on us. The entire evening was so special from the food , service and attention that was given to us. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you have a special event that you want it to be memorable!
