Third and Main is a top-of-the-line steak house and tavern in historic Aurora, IN. From in house dry aging our steaks to carrying the largest selection of wagyu beef in the Midwest, we have it all. If steak isn't your favorite we also have a fresh seafood selection weekly with a full sushi and raw bar.

Located in one of the oldest operating taverns in Indiana, Third and Main carries on the historic traditions with an upscale menu in a casual atmosphere. Just a short drive from Cincinnati along the Ohio River, this family-owned and operated restaurant is a great place to get away from the bustle of city living.

Our 120 year old bar is fully-stocked with over 275 different bourbons, domestic, import and craft beers and a variety of select wines we feature proudly. Stop in and have a seat at our 120 year old bar to see why Third and Main is a local Tri-State favorite.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Third and Main consistently impresses with its "amazing food" and "wonderful service." Diners rave about the "Australian Wagyu" steaks and "heavenly" pasta. The atmosphere is charming, and the attentive staff, like Haley and Katya, enhance the dining experience. Despite some service hiccups, the restaurant remains a top choice for special occasions and casual nights out.

    Experience was great. We’ve been here several times before but never in the upstairs seating area. Great ambiance. Hostess and staff were friendly. Food was good but my steak was undercooked in the center. Other than that, the rest of them meal was delicious. We will be back.

    Very nice place to come on a rare celebratory dinner. Came for Valentines Day. The service was friendly and courteous. Food was mostly delicious. Asparagus was incredible. One major draw back was there was no bread service for this restaurant which really felt lacking to an environment and meal of that level. We enjoyed the experience and will come back. Hopefully they rethink the decision to eliminate bread from the experience.

    Not our first time at TM, it was our first time for Valentine’s Day. Staff is amazing as always. Table was tight due to Valentine’s Day. We were at a two-top, close to three others. It was difficult having a conversation. And, the tables to our right and left were obviously leaning and looking to see our order. Anthony, our amazing server was challenged getting between tables. Cocktails were slow and okay. In the past, they have been excellent. California Dreamin’ sushi roll was outstanding. First time getting the BLT Salad. We will not order it again. The Applewood Bacon was finely crumbled and overpowering. Small pieces would have been preferred. We ordered the World Tour Steak Flight. The sampling of Japanese, Australian and US beef was excellent, generous and cooked to perfection. The steak was the star. The sides: Green Beans and Ham and Grits were not a good supporting cast. The Green Beans were floating in the Chili Pepper sauce. We only ate a few. And the Ham and Cheese grits were dry and missing any ham. I’ve always thought that TM needs to kick up their “Sides” game to provide a compliment to their unbelievable steak. This is really “picky” . . . but with a $450 bill (including tip), the garnish and presentation could be kicked up. Prep and plan for the big days. We will be back . . . just not on Valentine’s Day.

    This is our go-to place for steak in this area (Lawrenceburg, IN). Wine prices are in line with usual rates, steaks are pricey but really good. Ambiance is a little like Cheers, kind of casual, bar is cozy but loud and only has high top tables. Not something we do monthly but definitely the best in our area. They also have their own butcher shop next door so you can purchase a la carte when you need a good cut for home cooking. We prefer to sit outside on their nice patio in the summer months and have taken our dog. Must get that approved in advance but it's doable.

    We had a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant is very quiet. It made for a great date night! My husband’s steak was cooked perfectly and my pasta from heaven was amazing! We will return!

    Likely one of the best steaks I have ever had. The mashed potatoes are magical. We were there on a Thursday evening so it wasn't very busy, which was nice. I am sure the weekends are much more so. The food and service were both outstanding. We had a wonderful meal and will definitely return.

    We were meeting old friends that we hadn’t seen in very long time. The staff were awesome no rushing gave us time to catch up. The food was amazing!
