In the heart of Tampa, Florida, there is a dining experience like no other: Bern’s Steak House. Renowned for its unmatched steak selections, elaborate drinks list, and the iconic Harry Waugh Dessert Room, Bern’s is more than a restaurant; it is a culinary pilgrimage. 

With decades of excellence, the Bern’s Steak House menu continues to dazzle locals, food critics, and travelers alike.

The Story Behind Bern’s Steak House In Tampa

Founded in 1956 by Bern and Gert Laxer, the steakhouse started with a vision: to offer exceptional food and service with a unique personal touch. Over the decades, Bern’s became a Tampa institution, known for dry-aged steaks, a farm-to-table philosophy, and one of the largest private drink collections in the world. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, offering timeless elegance to every guest.

Bern’s Steak House Menu Overview: Steaks, Seafood, and Surprises

The Bern’s Steak House menu is famously extensive and painstakingly curated. At its core is the steak program, which features USDA Prime beef, aged in-house for five to eight weeks. Cuts include:

  • Châteaubriand
  • Delmonico
  • Filet Mignon
  • Porterhouse
  • New York Strip

Each entrée is served with French onion soup, a house salad, a signature vegetable, and a loaded baked potato, all included in the price.

Beyond steak, the menu features fresh seafood, organic vegetables, local poultry, and lamb. Guests also adore the cheese tasting and artisan charcuterie plates, crafted for culinary enthusiasts.
