St. Elmo Steak House

Our final addition is St. Elmo Steak House, having been listed on Forbes’ 10 Classic Restaurants and named an American classic by the James Beard Foundation; it’s no wonder the house has attracted nearly every famous drier, athlete, and celebrity that has visited the Indy area. It has earned a 4.5/5 rating and over four 4,500 reviews with its locally-sourced food and drinks along with its classic saloon décor. Open since 1902, and being a landmark location for just as long, means that this is the oldest steakhouse in Indy still at its original location.
