We had heard from so many friends that we had to try Little Betty Steak Bar. When a friend invited us to dinner we were so eager to try it, and let me say we were not disappointed! The ambiance was great with lights on the tables, low lighting overall and plenty of room between the tables. We definitely felt like we were in our own little corner, could hear each other talk, and we did not have to listen to others conversations. I really enjoyed the mocktail I ordered. It was called the Sinaloa Sunrise and was much more than a few juices poured together. It was full of flavor, and I actually said "Wow" out loud as I drank it. It included pineapple juice, lime juice, habanero brown sugar syrup, sage syrup, and grenadine sink. Before I ordered it, i I wondered about the sage syrup, but it really added to the taste. For an appetizer, we shared the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. Our friend suggested it and he was right on the money. It consisted of fresh horseradish, truffle aioli, fingerling potatoes, pickled mustard seeds, arugula, and caciotta al tartufo. It was melt in your mouth goodness. For my entree, I went with the 8 oz Filet. It was cooked perfectly, and we shared a side order of the Brussels Sprouts Calaprese. They were absolutely delicious and plenty for the three of us. This wonderful evening ended with dessert. I went with the Bananas Foster Cheesecake. It was good, but it needed more caramel. It included brown butter caramel, pistachio banana crumble, spiced ice cream, white chocolate crèmeux and white chocolate pearls. Was this an expensive dinner? Yes, but it was well worth it. You definitely are paying for a whole experience including unique flavors in every bite and wonderful service. Our server, Matt, made the night perfect. read more

Service is horrible.... Go to Armour House https://www.armour-house.com/ My food was VERY delayed. Had a $500 tab running and entree was 30 min after everything else was cleared. Manager offered a free app. When I told him that seemed light, he kicked me out. Not kidding.... Go somewhere else. It's a nice place, but with management like this it's destined to fail. read more

Little Betty more than exceeded every high expectation that we had and I'm so happy to report it is BEYOND worth the hype. We were greeted with the warmest hospitality you can imagine and our waiter, Chris, was so kind and knowledgeable. He thoroughly went over the menu and Emma, his assistant, didn't let our glass get less than half full all night. They were both extremely attentive and personable as well. Chef Kyle greeted us and made sure we were enjoying everything and taken care of. Each dish reflects the passion for his craft. He described a few dishes perfectly - one being the waygu croquettes. He said they were like French onion soup in a ball and deep fried. We enjoyed every bite and I told Chris that we'd take 27 more of them We also got beer carpaccio - compliments of the chef. This was my first time trying it anywhere and I was pleasantly surprised. The truffle aioli, cheese, and arugula atop thinly sliced beef that reminded me of prosciutto. Each bite was a little different - would get again. The focaccia is not to be skipped either. Warm, soft, fluffy, with flaky salt and olive oil. Done. The Caesar salad is one like we've never had before. The cured lemon set this over the top and added a tangy yet sweet component. I'm not usually one to rave about a Caesar salad but this was top tier. My spicy lobster vodka pasta was phenomenal and just the right amount of spicy. Extremely flavorful and had big chunks of lobster. The bread crumbs on top added the perfect crunch. David loved his steak and his only complaint was that he needed a serrated knife to cut it with. I heard a lady at a table beside us say the same thing Not to say that it wasn't cooked perfectly - because it was. We loved the Gouda fries and the crispy brussel sprouts were probably my favorite brussels I've ever had (!!!). The affogato was heavenly (never met one I didn't like). And they included a cannoli with a birthday candle. If you can't tell, we had an exquisite evening here. It met and exceeded all expectations. I can see us dining here for many many celebrations to come. read more

food was disappointing for price. service was great but the ambiance not my favorite. Its not my idea of a steakhouse (feels cramped) & I would not order the bone in or the rigatoni dish. Not on par with/price at all. the cannoli was a nice touch for our anniversary but unless u grab it with your hand to take a bite, your only scooping at the cream ends. The only thing I liked were the Brussel sprouts. Very young wait staff so a different experience but they did ok. read more

Little Betty Steak Bar - the coffee was great - Bars Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Let me start by saying I wanted to sample a few different items from the menu, and everything exceeded expectations. I began with the juicy crab cake, which was the perfect starter. For my entrée, I ordered an 8 oz filet, butterflied just as requested, along with a Caesar salad, potatoes, and lamb. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The ambiance was relaxing and classy, creating the perfect dining experience, and the customer service was truly top-notch from start to finish. I'll definitely be back, do yourself a favor and check them out soon! read more

My absolute favorite place in all of Bham! They kill it every time on food, service , and date night vibes. Also recently tried the Sea Bar and they killed it there too! read more

Do NOT book a private event here. They say they have A private room and they dont. They simply have curtains around you in the main dining room. Its super loud with conversation and music that they dont turn down to allow your "private" group communicate. They charge you $500 for this "private" room and require a $2000 minimum of F+B . We had no problem with the minimum as this was A work event and we had a budget.. We preselected our menu because of the budget. Apparently the staff didnt get the memo and our tab was $1500 more than expected.. Corporate America doesnt expect their employees to go $1500 over on one meal. Shame on this restaurant ! read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday and the service was outstanding. The dining area was beautifully lit and gave off a romantic vibe. Definitely 5 star dining. Staff is top notch and very knowledgeable about the menu. Our waiter gave us her recommendations and she hit the ball out the park with the Cacio Pepe gnudi. Those little gnocchi bites of goodness were delish! I had the prime Nay strip medium rare with the whipped potatoes and the rosemary in them were so so good. I have no notes. Everything was outstanding. Highly recommend. read more

I went to Little Betty Steak Bar for my anniversary, and it was definitely a 10 out of 10. Make sure you're on time and follow the dress code, because the vibe is upscale and so worth it. I ordered the ribeye, and my husband got the A5 Wagyu--both were incredible. I also had a spicy margarita, and every single thing was good and matched the ambiance perfectly. Our wait staff was attentive the entire night. Truly an amazing experience! read more

I honestly don't understand how this place doesn't have at least 4.8 stars. I'm a huge foodie, have eaten all over, and this was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had. I'll admit - I was skeptical at first since I usually avoid places rated under 4.5 (I've been scarred lol) but I'm so glad I gave it a shot. Service was flawless from start to finish - attentive staff, fresh silverware with each course, and incredible attention to detail. Honestly, even if the food had been mediocre, I'd come back for the service and ambience alone. But the food? Phenomenal. My favorite was the burrata. My fiancé had been hyping it up since his business dinner here, and I thought, "How good could bread and cheese really be?" Answer: insanely good. 10/10. The Caesar with cured lemon was one of the best Caesars I've ever had. I just wish it had croutons! The ribeye spinalis al limone and bananas foster cheesecake were both out of this world. The only miss was the wagyu bistecca. The meat was tough and chewy, not what you'd expect with wagyu. The green garlic butter and fries that came with it were great though. read more

This place is super cute for a girls night dinner or romantic date night spot. The service was some of the best I've ever experienced. Excellent recommendations and suggestions. Most everything is shareable. We ordered so much food and nothing was disappointing! The cocktails are on the pricey side but that's to be expected. I wish the dirty martini had something a little extra to it but the caperberry was fantastic. I will absolutely be going back! read more

A gem of a prime steakhouse in Mountain Brook. This was recommended to us by friends of friends, and man did they hit the bullseye!

This will be in our rotation for our return to Birmingham for sure, it should be in yours. read more

We had a reservation on 5/16/26 and first, I want to say the service was outstanding, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was fabulous. There was a very nice wine selection, and the cocktails were also excellent. We ordered several appetizers, and the beef carpaccio was absolutely to die for. The sides were great as well. My only complaint was the steak. It was cooked to order, but the flavor was mediocre at best. I've had much better steaks elsewhere, and for the price, I would recommend skipping the steak and trying something else instead -- which is disappointing for a restaurant that bills itself as a steak bar. I will give it another try. read more

Very chic, intimate restaurant. Kind of expensive. Our server was extremely helpful and nice. The food was a bit subpar to me for the price but overall it was a nice experience. read more

My husband and I went for the first time to Little Betty and were very pleased with the service, the food and the general atmosphere. We shared 2 apps, had a small plate of pasta and then each got an entree with 2 shared sides, as well as 2 drinks apiece and dessert; so, we really explored the menu! Our waitress Emily was amazing, and Colton was another attentive and helpful wait staff. What especially impressed me was that Emily sent us off on our night by our names, which she had asked for at the beginning. It was an amazing restaurant experience. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while on the recommendations of friends. The food absolutely didn't disappoint. I had the Little Betty's 12oz filet. Wonderfully flavored and very tender. I also had the mushrooms and loved them. Service was impeccable. The only downside, and 4 instead of 5 stars, is the noise. We went on a Tuesday night and it was just incredibly loud. At a 6 person table I couldn't hear the waitress at the other end telling about the menu. It's hard to carry on a conversation with those sitting beside you. Wonderful food and aesthetically pleasing but very loud and not very intimate. read more

Went to Little Betty this evening for a belated Mother's Day. We had not been to LB in Mt Brooke previously but it was much anticipated given how much we've heard that others like it... Drinks: - Tim Collins with well Gin (Plymouth) - La Sirena Di Sicilia - Sinaola Sunrise (mocktail) BEST! Second round of drinks we both ordered the Sinaola Sunrise spiked with Tequila, so good. I would go back for this drink. Food: - Rosemary Focaccia with Truffle Butter Good, as expected but I don't think I tasted any rosemary at all. The truffle butter was a nice addition and at $10 for the butter there was enough for the focaccia and filet. - Roasted Bone Marrow When we ordered, our server made a big deal about the little spoons that made the marrow so easy to scoop... well we did not receive spoons and it was a challenge to scoop out the marrow. And even after we mentioned it to her we did not receive spoons. - Tuna Cannoli The cannoli shells are so tough, I was expecting some easier to bite into. The tuna was only at the end and the avo crème is in the middle. I would have preferred a single bite with both the avocado and tuna - 8oz filet, medium Perfect. Seasoned + cooked perfectly - Veal Chop Parm Delicious. Easily split with 2 people; the Sunday Sauce is delicious and rich. The side arugula was a refreshing to cut the richness - Creamed Corn "special" side Definitely more casserole than creamed corn but sweet and delicious - Cacio de Pepe side I was caught off guard without having the large cracked pepper offset the pasta. The pepper seemed to be fine white pepper. Disappointing. Definitely some ups and downs here. Overall the drinks and food experience was positive. The biggest let-down was our server. She was over-attentive in the worse ways. She read at least 50% of the menu to us giving us her personal opinions of each dish; she explained how shareable sides worked and what "family style" meant; she explained how Italian menus are ordered (my husband and child are Italian); she insisted that we order the full order at one time and then commented on how good everything smelled when it came out; she was practically sitting on my husband's lap as he was looking over the cocktail menu.. the list goes on. I appreciate that she was present, but we had a hard time enjoying each other's company with her practically camping out at our table. Something also seemed off with the setup - the table next to us ended up eating their ceasar salad directly out of the serving bowl because they weren't brought individual plates; the small spoons for the bone marrow; and several other little touches that were missed made it feel like someone missed the day. read more

Amazing appetizers and caesar salad. Entrées are good. Waitstaff typically very attentive and helpful. Understanding of wines generally superior. Tables a little close. Private events are very difficult due to use of a curtain wall and small room. Suggest private events be kept to under 8-10 people if you want to be comfortable. Attitude too stuffy for what the destination is- a good steak house. Examples of attitude: 1. pre-dinner phone call to share dress code, rules on kids - call will interrupt your workday. Adoption of texting might be better if it's even necessary. 2. Bar seating is usually available, but they'll leave you standing for a while with multiple empty seats, it will come across as arrogance. read more

Had a 6:30 reservation for a Monday night. We arrived around 6:23 and were greeted and seated immediately. We were there to celebrate our daughter's 33rd birthday. Our server, can't remember his name, was phenomenal. Being our first time he explained the menu thoroughly and made suggestions. We started with the hand rolled meatballs, crab cake, roasted bone marrow and half dozen oysters on the half shell. Meatballs were delicious, a must try. Crab cake had minimal filler and lots of crab. Bone marrow was ok, something I could do without. I don't eat oysters but our daughter loved them. She said they were the perfect size and delicious. Our meals: My husband: 20oz dry aged bone in ribeye cooked medium. Steak temperature was perfect and seasoned well but too much char. Me: Hand cut pappardelle. The pasta was cooked al dente and the truffle cream sauce was to die for. Our daughter: 8oz Wagyu filet cooked medium rare. Sides: broccolini, Gouda fries, and whipped potatoes. Broccolini had the right amount of firmness and a little kick to it. Gouda fries were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Whipped potatoes were nothing special that I can't get at any other high quality restaurant. Caesar salad - nothing special, lettuce was crisp and dressing was good. Drinks: 2 daiquiris, glass of wine and an espresso martini. Overall: Warm and welcoming, low lighting for added ambiance, attentive and friendly staff, food was delicious, flavorful, mouthwatering and appealing. A little pricey. If you want to save a few dollars pay in cash, otherwise, paying with a credit/debit card costs a little more. read more

One of Birmingham's best luxury steak houses! Nestled in beautiful Mountain Brook, right next to Birmingham Zoo and Gardens, you could find nothing else much better to end your night on than a fantastic meal at Little Betty's- just be prepared for your wallet to be a little less full than your stomach. A wide range of different premium steaks and other meats available, plus a more traditional assortment of entrees for those whose appetite's may vanish at the $60 and above steak options. This was myself, I do admit, and the smash burger was great! A tad small of a serving size, but the fries balance out the proportions. My wife indulged in the filet and would recommend it! Good variety of appetizers and shareables too- personally recommend the brussel sprouts! Again, the knock here is the price: but you are paying for quality, both in service and in food, and there are few better in either regard than Little Betty. read more

We made reservations well in advance, which is also recommended. We were sat immediately when we arrived and greeted right away. All of the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious! If you are uneasy about the price point, you can rest assured that the staff and service will definitely warrant the price of dishes, and the taste puts it even more on target. My husband and I were celebrating his birthday, and the staff made sure to make the evening special for him. Other reviews mentioned the noise level, for our experience the atmosphere is a little noisy the closer to late evening you arrive but earlier in the evening and the noise level is what you would expect. Be sure to bring your appetite, the starters alone will allow you to make a great meal! read more

Our table decided to order a bunch of appetizers and small plates to share instead of individual entrees. The Burratta was the favorite for table.

I've been here multiple times but I've never encountered a more rude host than the gentlemen who was there this evening. It was as if he learned his skill set from the host in the scene from Ferris Buller's Day Off. Sadly this isn't 1980s Chicago. I am not the "Sausage King of Chicago" and in 2024 you don't treat people unkind and "snooty" when there are a myriad of other fine dining establishments in the area. I'd been there multiple times. I had written nice things about them on social media. I had been supportive of their business. I am no longer willing to be any of these things after last night. Given how empty the place was at 8pm on a Friday night I am not the only person who feels this way. read more

Great place to eat!! Service was Amazing!!! Everything was Awesome!!!! Can't wait to visit again and have more Amazing Food!!

I really wanted to give them a 5 stars. Only a few minor quibbles stop me from doing it. The food, wait staff, and ambiance were outstanding, and I'll get to that in just a moment. And I do look forward to coming back, just as an FYI. The thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that they tack on a fee (I believe it was close to 8%) at the end of the meal for not paying cash. No mention of it. Who does that? And who carries that much cash around anyways? It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth for an otherwise great experience - just increase your prices, don't tack on some misc fee. Anyways, on to the excellent food. We started off with the bone marrow appetizer and man... that was a treat. I could have had a whole meal of just that. We had the little betty salad as our next course, and it was delightful as well. We then split the 20 ounce, dry-aged ribeye, along with two sides - the gouda fries and the mushrooms with marsala sauce. The dry-aged ribeye was definitely different, as I don't think I've ever had one before, but was very good. The gouda fries and mushrooms were also very good, and I enjoyed them a lot. We will definitely come back - if we can get a reservation! We had to book this place almost two months out! read more

Little Betty Steak bar is good for more than steaks. The atmosphere is low lighting. The tables are classy with nice accessories. They will explain the menu items. My daughter and I had the salmon. I had mine medium well while daughter had hers medium. It cooks comparable to steaks. Mine was very nice with somewhat of a light crust. We also had the mashed potatoes and salad. Both sides were enough to be shared. My wife enjoyed the half chicken. Hers was nice as well. I do recommend this place read more

My boyfriend and I came in for dinner to celebrate him starting a new job. And this was a wonderful place to do so! Our server was fantastic and the food absolutely delicious . I didn't do nearly as good on taking pictures as I normally do, but the restaurant and the dishes themselves were gorgeous. We started with the Wagu carpaccio followed by a Caesar salad. Both were great, but I loved the bit of lemon that was added to the salad. It definitely stood out from any Caesar I've ever had! Next came our entrees. I ordered the roast chicken and my boyfriend had the dry aged NY Strip. We shared the creamed spinach and rosemary whipped potatoes. Both sides were like taking a bite of ultimate comfort food. Both meals were delicious and the servers were great about checking in and asking if we needed anything. We finished off the night with tiramisu and it couldn't have been better we can't wait to go back and try more of the entrees and especially the read more

We had such a great experience at Little Betty's, a stylish steak bar with a warm and inviting vibe. Our table went family style so we could try as much as possible. We started with appetizers of beef carpaccio, wagyu croquettes, and the tuna veil, each one beautifully plated and full of flavor. For entrées, the steak frites with gouda fries, branzino, and house-made pappardelle all stood out in different ways, and the sides of mushrooms and creamed corn were the perfect complements. Everything felt thoughtful, seasonal, and balanced. The drinks were just as impressive. We ordered two rounds of cocktails, which were not only creative and delicious but also easy to choose from thanks to the beautifully designed cocktail and dessert menu. It looked great, was simple to follow, and added to the whole experience in a really fun way. You can tell a lot of thought went into it, and it made ordering drinks and desserts that much more enjoyable. Overall, Little Betty's nails that balance of upscale and comfortable. Amazing food, excellent service, and one of the best menus, both in content and design, that I have seen in a while. read more

I'm a frequent visitor of the Lane Parke area, and I got to witness Little Betty being built. As soon as I saw the beautiful signage outside, I knew this place would be a hit! For now, you may only be able to dine here if you make a reservation since it's one of the most popular places in Mountain Brook. The earliest reservation we could get for my friend's birthday dinner was Thursday at 9:00pm, but we were so excited to finally try it that we all made it work! When I got inside, it was pretty popping. There were so many people, and everyone was having a great time. The decor and ambiance was so neat inside. We were seated at the cutest wrap around booth. I loved it! Our server was amazing too and acknowledged our birthday girl. He was very attentive to all of our needs. We started off with two rounds of Rosemary Foccacia for the table. It was delicious and the perfect way to start off our meal. Then I ordered the Beef Wellington Ravioli as my meal. It was okay, but the sauce wasn't really my cup of tea. I did like the cheese on top and the overall presentation. But I don't think I will order if again. I will order the hand cut pappardelle next time since that was something else on the menu I was eyeing. I tried some of my friends' dishes including the Springer Mountain chicken and the filet. They were both delicious! Also, I liked how the menu was pretty big and not everything is extremely pricy. Sure you have the $225 tomahawk and the $1200 bottle of wine, but you also have the $16 salads, reasonably priced pastas, and the smashburger with side of fries for $28. Jacket is preferred, but there are many affordable options on the menu if you look. I think this is a great establishment and absolutely has the potential to be the most popular new restaurant in Birmingham. I'll be back for the Beef Carpaccio and the Pappardelle! read more
