Steak is part of the language out here. Midland has old-school rooms, downtown chef-driven restaurants, hibachi grills and the familiar chains, plus one Odessa steakhouse people have been driving to since 1963. Here’s where to find a steak in town, what each place is known for and how to book a table.
Classic Steakhouses
1Cowboy Prime is at 200 Spring Park Drive, Suite 210, in Ally Village on the north side. It’s an upscale steak and seafood restaurant with prime steaks, oysters, sushi, craft cocktails and a long wine list, and it’s a common pick for anniversaries and dinners with out-of-town guests. Tables are booked on Tock, and parties are seated only once everyone has arrived.
2Wall Street Bar & Grill is downtown at 115 East Wall Street, in a building that dates to 1910, with pressed-tin ceilings and a hand-carved antique mahogany bar. It has served steaks downtown for decades, and its Sunday brunch is one of the longest-running in town. Call ahead for a table, especially for brunch.
Downtown Chef-Driven Restaurants
Downtown has grown a cluster of restaurants where a steak sits on a bigger menu, all within a few blocks of each other.
3Opal’s Table, at 223 West Wall Street, is owned and run by Chef Chip Hight and named for his grandmother. The menu covers prime steaks like an 18 oz ribeye, fresh seafood and Southern cooking, and The Basement bar downstairs pours cocktails with small plates. Lunch is weekdays only and Saturday is dinner only. Book on Resy.
4Georgie’s Place, at 300 North Marienfeld Street, Suite 150, is Chef Hight’s take on a classic Parisian brasserie. Dinner brings steak frites, braised short rib and oysters on the half shell, and lunch runs to steak sandwiches and fresh catch. Happy hour leads into dinner, so an after-work drink can turn into a meal. Book on Resy.
5Saint Blaise, at 508 West Wall Street, Suite 150, is a modern American brasserie serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with brunch on the weekend. It’s known for East Coast oysters, martinis and a happy hour the restaurant builds its menu around, and it works for a casual downtown lunch or a celebration dinner. Book through Toast.
Steak, Seafood and Sushi at Santomar
6Santomar, at 418 West Wadley Avenue, opened in 2026 with a contemporary menu that crosses steak, seafood and sushi. The kitchen leans Latin, with picanha, beef short rib and Peruvian ceviche next to rolled sushi, and the dining room is coastal-inspired. There’s no online booking, so call during business hours to reserve.
Hibachi and Japanese Steakhouses
For a steak night with a show, two Japanese steakhouses cook steak, chicken and seafood on the grill at your table.
7Hayashi Japanese Steakhouse is at 4400 North Big Spring Street, Suite 53. Along with the hibachi grill there’s a sushi bar and a full bar with sake, plus a private party room for birthdays and work dinners.
8Osaka Japanese Steakhouse is at 1207 Tradewinds Boulevard in north Midland. The hibachi menu covers filet mignon, sirloin strip and sukiyaki steak, and the sushi side includes specialty rolls and a sushi boat for two.
Worth the Drive: The Barn Door in Odessa
9The Legendary Barn Door Steakhouse, at 2140 Andrews Highway in Odessa, has served steaks since 1963. People make the drive for the steaks, the block of cheddar served with homemade bread, and the bar inside the Historic Pecos Depot, an 1886 train station moved next door. It’s a regular pick for birthdays and group dinners. Saturday service starts at 4 PM, and the restaurant recommends booking online.
The Familiar Chains
Midland also has the national and Texas-based chains for a dependable steak: Saltgrass Steak House, Texas Roadhouse, LongHorn Steakhouse and Outback Steakhouse all have locations in town. They’re the go-to for a weeknight steak without a reservation or a big group.
Planning a Special Occasion
For anniversaries, birthdays and out-of-town guests, regulars tend to point to the local rooms: Cowboy Prime for a classic upscale steakhouse, Opal’s Table or Georgie’s Place for a chef-driven dinner downtown, Wall Street Bar & Grill for the historic setting, and Santomar when the table wants steak plus seafood and sushi. Several of these also have private dining rooms, so ask when you book for a group. A steak dinner pairs naturally with a show or a nightcap, and our date night guide and bars and breweries guide can help build out the evening.
A note on what’s changed: a couple of long-running names are no longer open. Cattleman’s Steakhouse on North Big Spring and Cattle Baron on West Wadley have both closed.
