Voting Home / St. Elmo Steak House
Nominated for: BEST Steakhouse
St. Elmo Steak House has been a landmark in downtown Indianapolis since 1902. It is the oldest Indianapolis steakhouse in its original location, and has earned a national reputation for its excellent steaks, seafood, chops and professional service.
Founded by Joe Stahr, the restaurant was named after the patron saint of sailors, St. Elmo. Starting out with a beautiful tiger-oak back-bar purchased in Chicago, the restaurant was simply a small tavern with a basic menu. Through the years, its classic turn-of-the-century Chicago saloon decor has changed very little, beyond the inevitable expansions.
From 1947 to 1986, the colorful odd-couple team of Harry Roth and Isadore Rosen skillfully guided St. Elmo to continued success before turning over the reins to veteran restaurateur Stephen Huse, the present owner. In 1997, Steve partnered with his son, Craig, who is the current operator.
The shrimp cocktail is amazing but not for the faint of heart! It's incredibly spicy from a heavy infusion of horseradish.

Try the dry aged prime steak. Melts in your mouth, bursting with flavor. Try the world famous Shrimp Cocktail as a starter!
The wine selection is beyond belief. They also pour a good "stiff" drink!
