Vince Young Steakhouse, a cornerstone of downtown Austin’s fine-dining scene for 15 years, will close Jan. 24, ending a run as a go-to spot for business dinners, out-of-town guests and milestone celebrations.
Opened in 2011, the steakhouse announced its closure this week, citing rising costs and the increasing challenges facing independent, single-location restaurants as downtown Austin continues to evolve.
“This decision was not made lightly,” Phil Brown said in a news release. “We are incredibly proud of what this restaurant has meant to Austin and deeply grateful to every guest and every employee who made the past 15 years possible.”
Brown said the closure reflects a broader reassessment of the downtown restaurant landscape, where rising labor, food and operating costs have made it increasingly difficult for standalone establishments to remain viable.
In a statement, Young expressed appreciation for the restaurant’s place in the city.
“Austin has always been home to me, and this restaurant was created to reflect the city’s heart—welcoming, warm and full of character,” the former NFL star said. “I’m incredibly proud that my name was part of a downtown Austin staple, run by some of my best friends, in a city that means so much to me.”
Vince Young Steakhouse will continue regular service through Jan. 24. The Browns said details about final events and farewell offerings will be shared in the coming weeks.
