Tasted

Not another corporate dinner.

An old New York tradition, revived for Indianapolis.

The tradition

The table is the entertainment.

Born in 19th-century New York, the Beefsteak was never just dinner. It was a loud, generous communal feast where formality gave way to beef, bread, beer, and unfiltered conversation.

Indy Beefsteak brings that spirit to Indianapolis and communities across Central Indiana with one thing done exceptionally well: premium local beef, cooked over high heat and served fresh from the grill in a succession of hand-held cuts.

Meet the founders

Jake & Isaiah fell for the feast.

We each experienced a Beefsteak, and the idea stuck with us: incredible meat, cold beer, good friends, and none of the usual ceremony. The whole thing felt a little magical.

We started Indy Beefsteak to share that feeling with Indianapolis and Central Indiana, creating the kind of event where people settle in, eat well, laugh loudly, and leave already talking about the next one.

The fine print, without the fine print

Questions, answered.

What exactly is a Beefsteak?

A Beefsteak is a communal feast rooted in 19th-century New York. Steak is served in rounds, beer stays cold, utensils stay off the table, and the apron catches the evidence.

How many people can attend?

Indy Beefsteak is designed for groups of 20 or more. Tell us your estimated headcount and we will build an event plan around your group and setting.

Do you provide the venue?

We can work with a number of venue partners around the Indianapolis metro area, or bring the experience to a customer-provided location that can support the event.

Is beer always included?

Beer is part of the traditional Indy Beefsteak experience when the venue permits alcohol service. We will confirm beverage details during planning.

Do you offer non-beef meals?

Our current experience is intentionally focused on beef and steak. Please tell us about allergies or dietary concerns when you inquire so we can discuss the event clearly.

How much does an event cost?

Every Beefsteak is quoted individually based on guest count, venue, timing, beverage requirements, and event logistics. Send us the basics and we will prepare a proposal.
