Indiana is an old state with plenty of rich history. If you have an interest in history, you can find some pretty interesting things here. From old hotels and resorts to historic cemeteries and more, if you crave it, you’ll find it here. However, there’s another kind of craving that history can serve you on – and that’s the craving for a nice, big, juicy steak, cooked to absolute perfection. Enter St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis – one of the oldest restaurants in the state. As one of the oldest steakhouses in Indiana, it’s certainly earned its reputation as a legend, both locally and nationally.

St. Elmo Steak House was established in 1902 and, unlike other historic restaurants throughout the Hoosier State, it's still in its original location.
