About The Ranch at Las Colinas

A Texas steakhouse that actually smokes its own meat.

The Ranch at Las Colinas occupies a unique niche in the DFW upscale dining scene: it operates as both a full-service USDA Prime steakhouse and a genuine Texas BBQ smokehouse under one roof. The combination is unusual at this price level — most upscale steakhouses skip the smokehouse program entirely.

The menu reflects a distinctly Texas identity: prime steaks with Southwestern preparations (ancho chile, red chile mole, smoked quail), a deep whiskey list led by Texas craft distilleries, and sides that lean into Texas BBQ tradition (skillet cornbread, jalisco rice, creamed corn). The restaurant is a go-to for the Las Colinas corporate community and for celebratory dining in the Irving area.
