St. Elmo Steak House Beech Grove Reviews
A touch of class. Delicious food and superb atmosphere
We visited Indianapolis for three things: to check out the Indy 500 track, watch the Colts play, and have dinner at St. Elmoβs! The filet mignon melted in my mouth and was the best steak Iβve ever had. Signature shrimp cocktail to start cannot

Two friends told me to hit this restaurant if I went to Indy! I think they have the best shrimp cocktail that I have ever eaten. I wish I could buy bottles of the cocktail sauce - it's a flavor bomb of horseradish sauce and with the big juicy ju

Love the history. Love the food. Love the service. Love the ambiance. Love the experience. St. Elmoβs doesnβt disappoint.

Wow. Terrible steak, terrible service, unbearable wait, and unfriendly staff. The steak was overcooked and dry and nobody seemed to care at all about what they were doing. No thank you!
A couple days ago we celebrated our anniversary.
My love made the reservations weeks ago. I'm not high maintenance by any means so I said no to valet but I guess that's nice to have the option. Mall parking is near but unfortunately the doors lock I'm guessing at 9, so be prepared t

Donβt miss a chance to dine here!
Everything you read about the shrimp cocktail is true - itβs is amazing! The filet mignot is was cooked, or in my case prepared rare, was exactly what I was hoping for! The lobster bisque, green beans, martinis were all top notch! I will definitely
Wife and I both got the Filet.
Food was amazing. Place was very busy and loud so made it hard to have a conversation was the only downside.
Had a fantastic time here for our anniversary.
Our waitress was actually amazing. She explained the history of the building and gave us a run down of the menu. We both got steak (because you have to!) we were pleasantly surprised that it came with a side of mashed potatoes or fries and soup. We a
I told myself I'd save room for dessert.
.. but the main course was so good that plan went out the window. Absolutely worth it though every bite was good. Next time, I'm starting with dessert first!

This is an old fashioned dark paneled very classy steak house. The food and service were phenomenal. Yes, it is a bit of a mill, but well worth it. I think you will enjoy it.
Alright St.

Patrick was an exceptional host. The Shrimp Cocktail and Prime Rib were every bit as good as they have ever been. Can't ever go wrong at St. Elmo's
Fantastic steakhouse.

St. Elmo delivers a memorable dining experience with attentive service and a festive atmosphere. The porterhouse steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. While the shrimp cocktail is clearly a crowd favorite, the overall meal was worth the splurge.

Classic Steakhouse Experience with Memorable Starters
Dining at St. Elmo Steak House was a highlight of my Indianapolis trip. The meal began with their famous iceberg wedge saladβcrisp, fresh, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of blue cheese and fantastic bacon bits. The white bean sou
Amazing experience.
Steak was perfectly done. Sides were fantastic. Only thing is I believe the Shrimp is just a meme for show and no one actually enjoys it. Waste of $20 imo. Cheesecake was perfect as well
Saint Elmoβs has lost its fire
I have been coming here once a year in September for seven years while I attend a conference. I have always thought the experience was a plus. Not tonight. I asked for my steak to be black and blue, also known as Pittsburgh style, and they brought me

This has been a bucket list steakhouse for a while and was finally able to visit as part of a golf trip. It's got an old school steakhouse vibe with good energy (we visited on a home Colts game day). Our server was friendly and efficient and
My first visit to the historic St.

The place is amazing.

Famous Steak house
Unforgettable! Our server , there for many, many years Tommy Knapp, went above and beyond with menu and drink suggestions. We even bought whiskey. Steaks were best we have had in Years! Atmosphere and History is outstanding. Pricey but worth it. Spen

Always incredible waitstaff, the ambiance feels lush, and I've not had a bad dish in 20 years.
We have been to St.
Elmo's Steakhouse a dozen times over the years. Generally, it has been a good experience at a reasonable price. We do not know what happened in the past year, but the quality has diminished substantially to the level that we will never return. T
Go to Tonyβs
My wife and I ate at Tonyβs and St Elmoβs a week apart on our way to and from a family reunion in Missouri. Both steakhouses are priced about the same. The Tonyβs ribeye was $95. The St Elmoβs ribeye was $98. Between the two I think St Elmoβ
Excellent
The best food and service around !!! The spirits menu gave lots of options! The famous shrimp sauce excellent!!! And boy do they know how to cook steaks to perfection!
Donβt go before a sporting event
Had reservations for months and looked forward to eating here as part of an upscale date weekend. The food was phenomenal. However, people shouldnβt have to wait 10 minutes past their reservation time, especially when the time is when you just open
Great service, great food.
I had prime rib done just the way I like it. My wife had a ribeye she could cut with a fork. Shrimp cocktail was great, lots of horseradish but we like horseradish. We had onion rings, it was a huge platter, so good! Cheesecake for dessert was great.

Every time we go to Indy we hear, "You have to go to St Elmo". We've been hearing it for some time. We finally substituted St Elmo's for our regular steak house. What a disappointment! Steak are stated as prime grade on the me
Waaaay overrated

We took my father in law to St Elmo on June 15 2025. We were seated quickly and our waiter/server (Kyle) came over. Throughout the evening his service was excellent. he was cordial and professional and gave us (and other tables) advice and informatio
Iconic steakhouse.
Great food and ambience. Expensive, but worth it. I sat at the bar and had great, attentive service.
Amazing place with an awesome history and ambiance.
Classy and delicious if I had two words to describe it. Don't love their world famous cocktail sauce but if you're looking for something different that kicks, go for it!
Filet was on point but you pay for it.
The bean soup was a good option. Seafood scampi I believe it was called was average. Definitely a go to because of the history!!!

Food was delicious, however, I was not a big fan of the shrimp cocktail. I know it's a must try in Indy, but the horseradish was very very potent to the point it just ruined the whole experience and flavor of the appetizer. I guess I can say I tried
This steak house is legendary.
This was my first time but my fiancΓ© has been here with her family and we made reservations to celebrate her birthday. We ordered the world famous shrimp cocktail with an old fashioned, a dirty martini and the lavender coup. For dinner we had the f
It's a fine place and the staff is excellent.
There also wasn't anything wrong with the food, it was just bland to me. The bisque lacked any spice and the steak was peculiarly low on flavor itself.
Many moons ago, I was introduced to St.
Elmo Steak House when a Food TV personality had their famous appetizer of Shrimp Cocktail - instantly became one of my bucket list items! We started with the only appetizer on the menu we had the option to add a few more shrimp and did so - I have t
Wow, not as good as it once was.
Went at 7:30 with reservations and they could not find. Made room for us in back next to a wall. Would rather sit at bar than look at a blank wall. Sat at 4 top? We were only 2. Said that table had a different server? Waiter came by and said hey kid

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to St. Elmo Steak House Beech Grove at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the St. Elmo Steak House Beech Grove page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at St. Elmo Steak House Beech Grove to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at St. Elmo Steak House Beech Grove!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
