Best Steakhouse in Tampa · Tampa, FL
Bern's Steak House has been a Tampa temple to beef and wine since 1956, dry-aging its own steaks and pouring from one of the largest restaurant wine cellars in the world — hundreds of thousands of bottles. Dinner ends upstairs in the legendary Harry Waugh Dessert Room, a warren of private booths built from old wine casks.
Family-owned and gloriously over-the-top, Bern's is a Michelin- and Beard-recognized institution — a maximalist dining experience unlike anywhere else in Florida.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Bern's Steak House cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
Founded by Bern Laxer in 1956, Bern's operates its own farm and houses over 500,000 bottles, one of the world's great wine restaurants.
