Business Overview

Auburn City Steakhouse is a fine dining restaurant and private event venue located at 203 Main Street in downtown Auburn, Indiana. The restaurant is housed inside a restored 1859 building that originally served as Auburn City Hardware, giving the space a strong connection to local history. The restaurant was created through the vision of Rick and Vicki James, who helped bring new life to the historic building as part of downtown Auburn’s continued growth. Veteran restaurateur Bob Lebamoff joined the project as owner and operator, bringing generations of regional restaurant experience to the concept. Inside, Auburn City Steakhouse blends preserved architectural character with a polished steakhouse atmosphere. Guests will find warm lighting, historic details, refined dining rooms, and a setting designed for date nights, celebrations, business dinners, and memorable meals. The menu highlights classic steakhouse dining with regional roots. Guests can enjoy prime rib, premium steaks, seafood, Greek salad, cocktails, wine, desserts, and other refined dinner options. Beyond everyday dining, Auburn City Steakhouse also serves as a private event destination. The restaurant offers several rooms for weddings, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, corporate dinners, family gatherings, and other special occasions. Auburn City Steakhouse stands out as more than a restaurant. It is a restored piece of Auburn history, a downtown dining anchor, and a welcoming place where food, hospitality, and DeKalb County character come together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the ambience/atmosphere?
The ambience is warm, classic, and a bit nostalgic, many guests praise the antique decor, restored-hardware-store charm, and a comfortable, upscale-yet-relaxed vibe. The upstairs bar is described as cozy and inviting; the dining rooms can be lively during busy nights or quiet for special occasions. Overall, guests call it a charming, small‑town steakhouse with big‑city quality.
Do you have outdoor seating?
Yes, guests mention a patio and a recently updated patio setup that many enjoy. Outdoor seating can be pleasant during warmer months and some guests sat outside while enjoying nearby live music. If patio seating is important, request it when you make your reservation.
Can I make any special requests before I arrive?
Yes, we can accommodate reasonable requests . Guests report the team handling dietary restrictions, birthday/anniversary surprises (complimentary desserts), seating moves, and private-room bookings for groups. To ensure the best experience, call ahead with dietary needs, celebration requests, or specific seating preferences so the restaurant can prepare.
What is your dress code?
Business casual is the suggested dress code. Guests typically dress up for special occasions like anniversaries and date nights, and the dining room reflects a neat, polished atmosphere. Dressing a step above casual is appropriate, especially for weekend dinners or celebratory meals.
When is the best time to go to visit your Steakhouse?
For a quieter experience, go on a weekday (Tue–Thu) and ask for an early seating; guests often recommend upstairs seating for a more peaceful meal. Weekends (Fri–Sat) and holiday brunches are livelier and can be busy, especially during events and special menus. Reservations are recommended for evenings and special occasions to secure your preferred table.
Do you have a waiting list for bookings or at busy periods?
The restaurant accepts reservations and can be busy on weekends and during holiday events. Guests report being seated promptly with reservations, while walk-ins or peak nights may experience waits or slower service. To avoid a wait during popular times (weekend dinners, holiday brunches), book ahead or call the restaurant.
