Not too great. This restaurant had wonderful ambiance. The staff was nice. The price was quite high for a so so meal. I know the location has a lot to do with the price, but even taking that into consideration it was too high for our meal. We ordered two steak dinners, a couple drinks, a few sides and a birthday dessert. Our bill was close to 500. read more

This place is fantastic. Having been to several of the more renowned steakhouse in the area Old Hickory, wins hand down. The service, food and atmosphere were all we could of imagined. From the moment we walked in till the moment we left it was perfection. Definitely will make the hour drive just to eat here again. If you want fabulous service ask for Sheriff. read more

Don't order the 65 oz. tomahawk. We spoke with the manager who confirmed it's sous vide for a looooooooong time. $320 steak had zero flavor and tastes mealy / well done. Go elsewhere. On a side note the old fashioned's -- if you request buffalo trace -- are good. Table mates who had filets and ribeyes were satisfied. Risotto was probably the best thing we ate. Manager did her best to make it right, but it fell short of the disappointment of the tomahawk and the $1200 bill. read more

This is a pretty standard high end steakhouse in the style of Ruth's Chris, Morton's, Del Frisco, Mastro's, Flemings, and The Capital Grille. Steaks and sides are priced separately. I had a bone-in filet and it was a very good steak. Probably a little below the last one I had at a Mastro's, but very good to excellent. Their side of cream corn was ok...nothing to write home about...more corn than cream corn. Probably the biggest disappointment was for the prices we were paying the service was not very attentive. I understand not trying to rush people through their meals in a high end steakhouse...but be there when we need or want you! They took forever to take our order. Would I go back? Maybe...if there wasn't another great steakhouse in the area. read more

Dark, intimate steakhouse located in the Gaylord Texan Resort. My favorite dish was the lobster bisque. It was exquisitely concocted. The soup was not too thick (a key for top notch lobster bisque in my opinion) with plenty of lobster chunks. The scallops were fair. Thought it could have used less sauce. Most importantly, the bone-in filet just didn't do it for me. I thought it lacked a distinct taste. It was almost on the bland side. I had it medium as recommended by the waiter. It just needed for umph. Hard to explain otherwise but it lacked the X factor that top steakhouses have. read more

I was at the Gaylord Texan a few years ago. I found this place somewhat randomly. I arrived late, and needed dinner. This was the first restaurant I stumbled upon. Great choice. Super steak, I had New York Strip, about the best steak I've ever had. This place is definitely pricey, but the food measures up to the price. Other restaurants at Gaylord are expensive, but not necessarily good for the price. read more

Five stars are not enough based on our visit while attending a conference at the Gaylord. We had 10 people in our party and were provided excellent service. The wine menu was very good, but a little pricing based on the location inside of the hotel. The 20oz sirloin was cooked perfectly at a medium temperature along with a sampling of all the side dishes. Every side dish was great. read more

I can say that I have eaten here twice. Both times I ordered the filet. The first time, I thought it was an off night. But when I ate there last night, my second time, it was the same story. The steak taste very bland. It had no flavor at all. I love the ambience of this restaurant, however I have to give this place a poor rating because the food. read more

Great atmosphere and food. I ordered fruits for desert, and I've never had sweater, better fruits in my life...

Super expensive, but always a great meal. Don't pass up on the cheese plate, it has always been amazing especially with the fruits and nuts they pair the cheese with. My chicken and risotto was $28! But the risotto was really wonderful. And if the bar hadn't shut down we would have taken a glass of their sangria with us. Also their chocolate tort is delicious, so if you have room don't pass it by. read more

Wow! I must say... 5 star at its finest!! I had a four course meal and everything was fantastic!! Lobster bisque was amazing. Salad was good. And.. Oh my... The filet mignon!! Absolutely amazing!! Melt in your mouth!! Service was superb too. Good beer. Wonderful dessert!!! Great overall experience! read more

Old Hickory has the best lamb chop in town. I know it's $$$$ here, but It's worthy for every penny you spend. This is the only restaurant by far in the DFW area that I want to go back again. Very romantic and private dating place. read more

The lobster bisque was delicious, but very runny-the consistency of water. Ribeye was cooked perfectly, but had too much of the Demi-glacé so it was somewhat overpowering. Rest of the meal was great. All in all, somewhat overpriced for the quality. I'm more of a Morton's or Ruth's Chris fan myself. read more

Limited menu and sides. Overpriced. The corn was good. Better steaks at chain restaurants.

Great wine bar with tons of selection and a great staff. Offer glass, half glass, and 1 ounce pours of all wines. Perfect for a night out tasting good wine at the perfect price point. read more

First time to eat at this joint. Service was off the mark. Got salad before apps. Oysters were yuck. Steak was tough, very disappointed. Overall could have had better food and service at McDonalds Happy Meal. Difficult getting any service. Everyone had difficulty getting any refills, wine, all bad. One of our 4 top got ill immediately after eating. Appetizers were bad. Steak tough. No staff checked on us having difficulty from initial seating, just awful. Will not return, will not recommend to anyone. Make the choice and go somewhere else to entertain your guests. If I could take away 10 stars I would. read more

Great steak house all that you could ever ask for ! Very nice seafood menu as well all the way around great place to eat . Big bar area to ! We called ahead that is a must very hard to get in here that speaks to how great the food is . I will be back ! Also you can go to the bar and eat as well and no wait there ! read more

If you can't enjoy appetizers in the bar area due to a rug, move the rug! Never have I been to a steak restaurant that you couldn't hang with friends prior to eating. Anytime we meet friends we hit the bar to gather and will usually have light food before taking our table. The bartender was completely uninterested in helping us find a spot except two small 2 person tables. Even as we were ordering 6 drinks. Once we finished a few drinks we decided to have the rest of our party meet at Silverfox. Really disappointed as we've eaten at Old Hickory before and enjoyed it. Afraid the bar may have cost them a customer in the long run. Food is half the equation at steak restaurants; the other half is over the top service. Guess they've switched business models to just cater to hotel guests and service has suffered. read more

Primo place to get a juicky, perfectly cooked steak on a business trip! Apricot blackberry burrata was AMAZING, and their wine selection is top notch. Pricey, but it's a steakhouse. Highly recommend. read more

Food is overpriced and mediocre, typical for a captive audience at a resort hotel. I had a butter lettuce wedge salad, just okay, slathered in too much dressing, though I asked for light dressing, and the the cowboy ribeye...I've had better meat at a chain steakhouse. Sides shared, mashed potatoes and habanero corn, both lackluster. My colleague had the lobster bisque and reported it as "good, but not great". The Blanton's bourbon was delish, but again, overpriced comparatively. It is conveniently located, if you're staying at the hotel, therein lies the rub. read more

This place is luxurious yet casual. The staff provides world class service, from the person taking the reservation, hostesses, bussers, and server. Our service team was Barbara and Javier and they were on point. The menu is pricey but the food is not disappointing. The entrees were cooked well, not overly seasoned so you can taste the quality of the meats. It may be some time from now that we go back there, but that is mainly because of the price. Overall, a great, clean, quality steak can be expected. I would say a must try in the area if you are looking for a high quality steak. read more

Very pricey for what it was! Food was good and presentation was great, but still very overpriced for the total experience. There a number of fine steakhouses in the DFW area that are as nice at not near the total price. read more

Everything was amazing. From the fresh bread sticks to the filet and lobster. Highly recommended! First time here from California. Couldn't be better. read more

I love this place! The food is wonderful. The wine & drinks are amazing & the customer service is the best I've ever had! I bring my family and business guests here all of the time! read more

Probably one of the best filet mignons I have ever had... Everything is a la carte... So for couples, I suggest getting half portions of the family style sides. The wild mushrooms are a great side... I do not recommend the whipped potatoes... I also do not recommend adding the cognac sauce to the whipped potatoes. Beware of the tourist and tipsy business men who drink to avoid coworkers... They become very obnoxious. I commend our waitress, blonde gal, for moving us away from the annoying tables. Intimate and romantic setting, if you can avoid the tipsy business men. I was not pleased to see a young boy exiting the restaurant without a shirt on, found this a bit strange. Our bill was ~$200 after tip with two rounds of drinks, two filets, two half sides, and a dessert. Will be back! read more

This is a very nice premium steakhouse - if your are staying at the Gaylord it is a great option. I think Bobs steakhouse in grapevine is a little better - but the steaks are very good, the service is very good, and the setting is nice.if you have out of town guests, walking the Gaylord Texan and dining at the Old Hickory can be a fun night (hit the piano bar for a night cap). read more

Restaurant was ok. Unfortunately the ribeye was over cooked and very tough. For a steak house it was a disappointment. Try the filet on Zeppole. read more

My wife and I ordered two steaks here tonight and they where horrible. Both steaks was burt to a crisp, dont waste your time at this location. read more

My wife and I are staying at the Gaylord and really wanted a nice steak dinner for her birthday. After reading multiple recent negative reviews about this place, we decided to just have a glass of wine at the wine bar and look for somewhere else to go. The lady, Regina, that was working at the wine bar convinced us that the negative reviews were just somewhat regulars who were resistant to the changes the new chef had made so we decided to give it a shot out of convenience. First of all, the ambiance here is great and everyone from the greeting to our waitress Mari were super friendly and helpful. It is very rare today that you can go places and ask for things not necessarily on the menu or part of the service and not get a resounding no. Mari was so accommodating that we left there ranting about our experience. I eat gluten free which has its challenges. They actually made me gluten free bread to go along with the normal bread that comes to the table. My wife and I wanted to drink the same wine from the wine bar above the restaurant, but it was not on the menu there. Mari offered to go up there and get it for us. Lastly, the gluten free choices for dessert were limited and I mentioned creme brulee, Mari said she would go get it from another place within the hotel and I told her that was not necessary. She did it anyway! Overall the food was great. The steaks were delicious. The habanero cream corn was phenomenal and is really good on the steak by the way. We had the octopus appetizer and it was one of the best octopus dishes we have ever had. Definitely give it a shot, and if the service is half of what we received from Mari it will be more than worth it. read more

Service was impeccable and the steak was top 5 material. I have been to hundreds of prime steak houses and this is near the top of the list. Got the prime ribeye and my wife got the filet, both were extremely flavorful and tender. Michael, our server was one of the best servers Ive ever had, no joke. The ambiance is great too. Perfect place for a special occasion date. read more

Let's start with the steak, meh. I have eaten at most of Dallas's best steakhouses and this doesn't belong in the same conversation. Papas is the best if you are looking for a nice place. The price was just as high at old hickory and the food wasn't half as good. We spent $260 For 2 Steaks, 2 Sides, Cheese Cart, bottle of wine, and tip. I was also not impressed with the lack of valet or decent parking options. We had a pretty good walk from the cold parking garage to the restaurant I will say that the ambiance was awesome. Also the cheese cart is really cool. IF we go back we will go causally for just wine and cheese. read more

The food and service was great. I did have to send my steak back because it wasn't cook right. It wasn't a big deal since the sides and conversation were both good. The problem begins when a female manager comes over and tries to explain the proper cooking away by explaining that grass fed beef is redder and cooks different. As a word of advice; if you feel compelled to say anything, just apologize. My grandpa was a cowboy in the Sandhills of Nebraska where all cattle were grass fed 100 years ago. My dad was a meatcutter in the late 40's and 50's and taught me all about meat grading and judging. So don't talk about something you don't know to an audience you've never met. read more

Took my wife out her this weekend, one of the better steaks i have ate in a wile. Great service, atomosphere, and food! I eat a lot of steak houses and i was very pleased with this one, would tottaly come back! read more

Great food. Pretty good service! Lobster bisque is best in town. My problem with this place is that for advertising that offer foods from the state of Texas, they do offer Dr.Pepper. Yet they have cheese plates from around the world. Probably the only steakhouse in Texas that does not have Dr.Pepper! Not everyone wants to drink beer and wine!!! read more

Was there with a big group after my daughters wedding. When the tab came I just looked at the bottom line and tipped twenty percent. I didn't want to examine the check in front of guests. Our waitress came back and said the tip was included. She didn't have to do this. I never would have known. Also the food was GREAT!!!! read more

We are a family of 4 with a 4 yr old and 1 yr old. We made reservations for 5:30. We showed up at 5:25, they open at 5:30. We were told by the hostess, who spoke very poor English to have a seat with the other patrons. At 5:40 all the other patrons have been seated and we are still in the waiting area. At this time there is 5 tables with people at them and approx 25 empty ones. At 5:45, 15 minutes after our reservation time, we ask when we are going to be seated and they ask if we are someone else with reservations at 6. We tell them who we are again and that our reservation is at 5:30. They were completely confused. Almost questioning who we said we were. My wife offered to show our IDs and our reservation conformation. Unbelievable. Hide sight we should have left then. We remained standing at the hostess stand to wait to be seated. Which irritated them for some reason. They bring us to a table for 4 and we ask for a booth because the tables are very wide, which is great if you have 4 adults but a pain if you are trying to feed a 1 yr old in a high chair. Each side was about 3' across. When our server comes we ask for a high chair that has straps with buckles on it since our 1 yr old is a climber. She proceeds to tell us " this is fine dining and we don't get lots of children in here except at the holidays (which this was) and they only have this one high chairs and it doesn't have straps. Really snottie about it. Letting us know we don't belong in here with kids. She didn't really make us feel like she wanted to wait on us. My wife even asked her if we shouldn't have come. (Wearing Prada boots no less; just to give you reference on our appearance.) We take extreme pride in our boys manners and table/ restaurant manners are no exception. So it wasn't like our children were running around acting inappropriately. My wife orders the lobster bisque and oysters Rockefeller as her meal and I order the KC strip and we ordered chicken tenders and fries and a cheeseburger for the boys. The bisque was ok but not something you would expect from a "fine dining" restaurant. The oyster were tiny and over cooked with a pound of butter in each tiny oyster. The KC strip was cooked to med. like I wanted but it just wasn't that good of steak. Not very tender and the seasoning wasn't that great either. The mashed potatoes were horrible. Really horrible. Very disappointing. The cheeseburger for the 4 yr old was also over cooked. The chicken tenders were mostly really hard breading. The only descent thing was the fries. Back to the high chair. About 3/4 of the way through our meal we see another server bringing a high chair with straps and buckles to a table seated in a private room. We ask her if there is another high chair with straps and buckles and she says " let me check and if not I will go to another area of the hotels and get one". Which she did and had another chair in less that 2 minutes. So obviously our server Susan didn't 1.) think we belonged there with children. 2.) was to lazy to get another chair or 3.) was upset from the hostess seating us situation from the beginning. Whatever her reasoning she completely lied to us, at the cost of our sons safety. And this is fine dining? Overall I would say find another steakhouse if I were you and are traveling with kids or are looking for a half decent steak. Fine dining - what a joke! read more

Can't say enough good things. Excellent service, impeccable food. Went for our anniversary and they surprised us with a candlelit dessert. Wonderful experience. Would definitely go again. read more

I have no idea how others that rate this place can rate anywhere near 5 stars or for that matter 3 stars for this restaurant, I fully expected to read the reviews and see that many others had the same experience with their very average food . My wife and I are no strangers to upscale dinning and steak is what we usually dine on. Me and my wife had no major problems or traumatic events here nor did we have problems with the waitress but the food was just SO SO at best. I mean even when compared to a major chain like outback steakhouse , outback blows this place away as far as the taste of the food. We each had a salad, caprese and a wedge, they were both average at best but no major complaints here . We each ordered the $40.00 ribeye that honestly was so dry and tasteless that I did not even eat half of it although my wife was able to choke down a little more than half, If the head chef ever reads this review I would like to make a suggestion for him for a possible menu name change on the ribeye, "ribeye jerky" may be better suited . The sides were okay, we had steamed asparagus, I am just taking a wild guess here because I have never prepared it myself but I don't think there is to much involved in steaming a vegetable so they were able to successfully master this one, we also had the Oven Roasted Wild Mushrooms and the Sorrell Potatoes Au Gratin both of which were delicious. We also purchased an inexpensive bottle of white wine that was delicious. We went for steaks and left with disappointment. You would be better served patronizing The Reata Ft.Worth or possibly Texas de brazil. I hardly ever write reviews and hardly ever have a problem with the restaurants that we visit but I really could not believe that Old Hickory Steakhouse had the audacity to charge $220.00 (including tip) for such a mediocre meal. read more

This is what an expensive steakhouse should be. The food was excellent. The service was impeccable. Our server was not only attentive but also informative and engaging without being intrusive. The steak was awesome with a peppercorn cognac sauce that should be put on everything. The desert was great. The atmosphere was romantic and by far one of the best places to celebrate an important event. I recommend this place highly. It is expensive but worth every penny for that memory making night. read more

Beginning with the 4 item cheese plate this meal was as good as any I have ever had. Filet Mignon melted in my mouth. Lobster tail was tender and wonderful. Daughter-in-law had scallops and I got a bite...wow! Son had the Cowboy Rib-eye and reported it to be excellent. Wife had the strip and was thoroughly pleased, as well. Our server was Steve and he was one of the best I have ever had. This place is not cheap, but it is well worth the price! read more
