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.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Bern's Steak House (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
