St. Elmo Steak House, Great Meals Restaurants, Steakhouse, 127 S Illinois St Indianapolis IN 46225

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.

how can you not vote for St Elmo's...an Indianapolis legend...steak and shrimp and plenty of drinks to wash it all down...I have been dining at St. Elmo's for 50+ years and have seen it grow...the days of $0.49 beef manhattans in the family dining room (was in the rear of the bar area) have long since gone...but the superior quality of food and service has continued...
