Old Hickory Steakhouse

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Steakhouse with Serious Wine Credentials

Old Hickory Steakhouse sits inside the landmark Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, offering one of the area's more polished fine dining experiences in the Dallas–Fort Worth corridor. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2025 — recognition that reflects a wine program curated with genuine care, designed to complement the kitchen's approach to classic steakhouse cooking.

The Setting

Being part of the Gaylord Texan places Old Hickory in a resort environment that draws both leisure travelers and business guests, yet the steakhouse maintains its own distinct character. With options for indoor dining and outdoor seating, the atmosphere leans toward the refined without feeling stiff — the kind of room where a special occasion feels right at home, but a business dinner works just as well.

Wine at the Center

The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It signals a list that goes beyond the expected, offering meaningful depth, thoughtful selection across regions, and pairings that genuinely elevate the meal. For guests who take wine seriously, this recognition is a reliable signal that the cellar at Old Hickory has been built with intention. The restaurant also offers wine pairing as part of the dining experience, making it a natural choice for those who want the full table.

Worth Knowing

Old Hickory Steakhouse rounds out its offering with breakfast service alongside dinner, catering options, and takeaway — practical range for a resort setting. But it is the fine dining dinner experience, anchored by that award-winning wine list, that defines the restaurant's identity and its place among Grapevine's most recognized dining destinations.
