Our Passion
At The Arthur J, beef is our passion. We source the best beef in the world, cook over a natural wood fire, and finish with friendly, thoughtful service — and an incredible quality steak is born. We offer the best USDA Prime, True Japanese Wagyu, and Black Angus Beef, available both wet- and dry-aged as well as bone-in. Each steak is cooked skillfully by our Grill Master over a stoked live fire with smoking white oak embers, grilled to perfection on our magnificent J&R Woodfire Grill.
The Heart Of The House
We believe in the time-honored tradition of live wood cooking — our steaks over a hot fire and smoking embers. That's why we had our wood-fire grill custom made by J&R Manufacturing in Mesquite, Texas. Because, like us, they believe the interaction between great meat and a live fire of wood has defined our past and is at the heart of what we do.
Our Namesake
The man in the portrait is Arthur J. Simms — a product of the Great Depression, a bombardier and navigator during World War II, and a born restaurateur with an insatiable appetite for living each day with gusto. Armed with a big personality and a penchant for risky endeavors, Arthur J — as everyone, including his children and grandchildren, called him — built the family's first restaurants and set the table for the three generations who carry on his name today.
