Part of: Top 20 Steakhouses in Dubai →
A steakhouse and a family dinner sound like opposites — one's all dark leather and dealmaking, the other needs a high chair and a kids' menu. But Dubai has quietly built a roster of grills that do both, where the children get a burger or sliders they'll actually eat and the adults get a dry-aged ribeye worth ordering.
We ranked these nine family steakhouses in Dubai for 2026 on three things: whether there's genuinely something for kids, how relaxed the room is about a noisy table, and — because it still has to be a steakhouse — whether the beef is any good. We've taken our own families to all of them.
The 9 Best Family Steakhouses — Ranked
Ranked by our independent score across repeat visits in 2024–26. We pay for our own meals. Prices are approximate per person and shift with seasonal menus.
Texas Roadhouse
The most unapologetically family steakhouse in Dubai — peanuts on the table, a proper kids' menu, fresh-baked rolls and ribs that keep everyone happy. The beef won't trouble the fine-dining rooms, but for a stress-free family night it's the easy winner.
WHAT TO ORDER the fall-off-the-bone ribs (around AED 95) and a kids' steak-and-fries (around AED 35).
Best for: younger kids, big appetites, value, zero stress · Skip if: a refined date night

Salt Bae's theatre is the whole point for kids — the salt flick, the gold tomahawk, the showmanship turns dinner into a performance. It's pricey and a spectacle rather than a quiet meal, but children are mesmerised.
WHAT TO ORDER the Ottoman steak (around AED 290) and the famous golden tomahawk for the table.
Best for: a one-off treat, the show, photo-mad teens · Skip if: a budget night or a calm meal

Prime68
A 68th-floor steakhouse with a wall of Dubai skyline that keeps kids glued to the window. The room is smarter than most on this list, so it suits families with older children for a special, view-led celebration.
WHAT TO ORDER the tomahawk to share (around AED 650) and the truffle mac and cheese.
Best for: older kids, celebrations, skyline views · Skip if: toddlers or a casual night

Hunter's Room & Grill
Best known for its weekend Sunday roast, which is a brilliant family format — sharing joints, Yorkshire puddings and an easy, generous room. A more relaxed, less scene-y steakhouse that welcomes a family table.
WHAT TO ORDER the Sunday roast sharing platter (around AED 250pp) or a sirloin.
Best for: the weekend roast, relaxed family lunches · Skip if: a quick weeknight bite

BLT Steak
Famous for the giant Gruyère popovers that land the moment you sit — an instant kid-pleaser — BLT Steak pairs a polished but unstuffy room with reliable American-style steaks and a Palm-side setting.
WHAT TO ORDER the Gruyère popovers (complimentary) and a New York strip (around AED 280).
Best for: a smarter family dinner, popover-loving kids · Skip if: a budget meal

Gaucho
Argentinian sharing cuts make Gaucho an easy family choice — order a few steaks for the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves. The room is buzzy enough to absorb a livelier family group.
WHAT TO ORDER the spiral cut sirloin to share (around AED 320) and chips.
Best for: family sharing dinners, livelier groups · Skip if: a quiet intimate meal
More on this venue → Book a table →Carnivore
A more value-minded, no-frills steakhouse that's comfortable with families — generous portions, a straightforward menu and a relaxed room that won't bristle at a high chair or a fidgety eight-year-old.
WHAT TO ORDER the mixed grill (around AED 180) and a rump steak.
Best for: value family dinners, big appetites · Skip if: a special occasion

Beefbar
Beefbar's playful 'street food' side — Kobe milk buns, sliders — gives kids fun, hand-held options while the adults get serious cuts. A stylish DIFC room that's surprisingly relaxed at lunch and early dinner.
WHAT TO ORDER the Kobe beef milk buns (around AED 90) and a ribeye.
Best for: design-led families, early dinners, DIFC · Skip if: late, loud nights with toddlers
More on this venue → Book a table →BOA Steakhouse
A sleek modern steakhouse that handles family celebrations well, especially for older kids — good wagyu, generous sides and a room that feels like an occasion without being intimidating.
WHAT TO ORDER the wagyu sliders (around AED 110) and a fillet to share.
Best for: celebration dinners, older children · Skip if: young toddlers or a budget night

Your Questions Answered
Which steakhouse in Dubai is best for kids?
Texas Roadhouse is the most genuinely kid-friendly — a real kids' menu, ribs, rolls and a relaxed room. For a fun spectacle, Nusr-Et's tableside theatre keeps children entranced (at a much higher price).
Do Dubai steakhouses have kids' menus?
Texas Roadhouse and Hunter's Room & Grill (via its Sunday roast) are the most family-formatted. Most other steakhouses don't run a formal kids' menu but will happily plate grilled chicken, sliders or plain sides.
How much is a family steakhouse dinner in Dubai?
Value spots like Texas Roadhouse and Carnivore run roughly AED 120–350 per person. Hotel steakhouses such as Prime68, BLT Steak and Nusr-Et sit at AED 350–700 per person before drinks.
Are Dubai steakhouses halal?
Many serve halal beef, and some are fully halal and alcohol-free, while hotel steakhouses often serve alcohol. If you need halal-certified beef, confirm with the restaurant when booking.
