27 Best Steakhouses in Atlanta

“High end extremely nice restaurant. You pay for what you get!“

“July 05, 2025 Greetings, This evening, I had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion, my partner and I chose to dine at a fine dining establishment in downtown Atlanta. Regrettably, after we visited your downtown Atlanta location, it became clear that my hope for an outstanding dining experience was unlikely to be met. Upon our arrival, we had to wait despite having made a reservation several hours earlier. Eventually, we were seated at a table no larger than a nightstand. I immediately observed that, unlike the other tables, the candle on ours was unlit. This should have served as an indication of the service to follow. Once seated, we were presented with the menu and asked for two sweet teas. Soon after, we placed our orders. After waiting twenty minutes, we realized that our drinks had been forgotten. We subsequently reminded our waitress that we had ordered two sweet iced teas. After an additional ten minutes, our drinks arrived. Fifteen minutes later, our food finally arrived. Upon its arrival, I noticed a sticky substance around the $75 steak I had ordered. After considerable effort to cut into it, I tasted the meat and found it to be overcooked—its flavor reminiscent of a meal unintentionally left on the grill by an intoxicated cook. It was unsatisfactory, and I requested a remake. At this point, we had spent over an hour at your restaurant, and the staff began cleaning up. Finally, around 12:05 a.m., the re-cooked steak was brought out. Although it was an improvement over the first, it still did not merit the price of $75. Given that my potatoes were cold and the minimal ice in my refilled iced tea had melted, I opted to forgo the steak altogether. My partner, who is more willing to accept mediocre service, encouraged me to take the steak back to the hotel, which led us to request a to-go box. Ten minutes later, we received a small cardboard box, barely big enough for my food. Further, we were not offered anything to carry the sauce in, utensils, or even a bag. Shortly after, we received our bill, which totaled approximately $195.00, excluding gratuity. At that moment, I was overwhelmed with emotion and informed my partner that I needed a few minutes outside to collect my thoughts. I found it challenging to rationalize $200 for a meal arguably valued at $20 and customer service worth $10. Despite my objections, my partner insisted on refraining from discussing this matter with a manager. He wanted to avoid any conflict on my birthday. While I appreciate his noble intentions, I possess a strong aversion to inequality in any form. The treatment we received in an establishment that professes luxury and exemplary customer service was inadequate and perhaps a sign of your treatment towards Minority LGBT customers. We deserved a better experience. Although my birthday weekend was great, this experience was horrible. I am genuinely disappointed with my visit to your Atlanta location. I would have had a more satisfying experience at a more casual establishment, such as Texas Roadhouse, for a fraction of the costû. Sincerely, Gregory A. Reid Jr. Brandon F. Williams“

“Fantastic food, atmosphere and service.“

“We celebrated my son‘s birthday at Bones this weekend, and it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was exquisite, the customer service was outstanding, and the food was impeccable. I felt that the portion sizes offered an excellent value. I would certainly recommend it and definitely will be back again.“

“Went for my boyfriends birthday, everything was absolutely perfect!! The phenomenal food and service were the best I’ve had in a while!!! The complimentary chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream was an amazing way to end the meal. Evan helped provide a memorable experience for us!! Will definitely be back!!!!!“

“Everything was perfect! The hostess was nice and attentive. The seating and atmosphere was amazing. The waiter was perfect, they worked as a team and we were attended to frequently. The food was amazing from the appetizers, the main course and the sides. Everything was PERFECT. Appetizer: Calamari Pork Belly Main Course: Dry Aged Ribeye Filet Mignon Sides: Mac & Cheese Mashed Potatoes Brussel Sprouts“

“Let the staff tell you about the things that aren’t on the menu! The creativity is outstanding, the flavor profiles will not disappoint you! 🥰This is now one of my favorite places to eat in Atlanta! We tried 3 different dessert.“

“I arrived before opening time and they welcomed me, and accommodated me!! Bob, the bartender was awesome!“

“The entire experience was amazing. The food is so delicious that it will make you dance in your seat with joy. Coming from out of state, valet parking was much appreciated. Our waiter Tyler was so helpful and fun. A perfect date day trip and meal. ❣️“

“We had the most amazing experience this evening. Melissa was our server and she was just phenomenal. The food was incredible, Melissa was so attentive and kind with the BEST suggestions, the atmosphere was lovely and we are so sad we don’t live closer to come back more often.“

“Amazing experience. Great food, great ambience, amazing service.

We ordered rib eyes that were cooked to perfection. Perfect seasoning. The sides were awesome. The bread is something to die for. They're like mini donuts with butter.

Great atmosphere. Highly recommend to anybody in the area thinking about coming here. It's a no-brainer. Very clean, very comfortable. We'll definitely come back. This is our second time.“

“Went to Hal’s last night on a Monday night service was five star food was five star. Everything was absolutely amazing. This has been my fourth time there are 3 1/2 hour drive totally worth it.“

“When there for early VALENTINE'S night I was disappointed steaks were under cooked. Service was bad. Not worth the price we paid. Will not be going back.“

“Steak Market was a great experience. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was nice, and Carmen made the visit even better with her great service. She was attentive, kind, and professional. I really appreciated how well she took care of everything. Definitely recommend.“

“The food and the service were really really great. We had Wagyu steak, burrata and sushi. What an eclectic mix on this menu! The service was friendly and top notch. Very attentive. My only problem was how loud it is. The acoustics in here are really really bad. It's super loud. I could here conversations going on at tables across the room. The restaurant was full but I could barely have a convo with my wife 'cause it was so loud. If they do something about that then I think you have a really complete experience.“

“The best steaks in South Atlanta. Casual environment. Top notch service.“

“I celebrated my birthday at McKendrick’s Steak House last night, and it was hands down one of the best steakhouse experiences I’ve had. I ordered the New York strip with asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and mac and cheese — everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The steak was tender, seasoned just right, and prepared exactly how I requested. The sides weren’t just an afterthought either — each one stood on its own and complemented the meal perfectly. What really set the experience apart was the service. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the manager was quick to step in and make sure we had everything we needed. That level of professionalism makes a difference. If you’re looking for a top-tier steakhouse in Atlanta that delivers both quality food and exceptional service, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Victoria is great, good conversationalist and very knowledgeable about the menu etc. she’s a great addition to the team, the restaurant is as always first rate“

“Sunday Funday !! Cornhole last week winners Team RTR !!!“

“Caitlin crushed it! easy to come back!“

“I had the pleasure of having Doneshia as my server. She was very attentive and took care of my every request in a timely manner. I was very appreciative of her service. I had asked for unseasoned fries, they came out seasoned, She corrected it right away. Sadly the fries that came out were not that great. It actually looked and tasted like they took seasoned fries and put them back in the fryer to remove the seasoning.
It was quite obvious to me that she was there to do a great job and she did. She can’t control how the food comes out. Also, she was not part of the group of servers who made it look they were there for social hour which was incredibly annoying. This group hung out at the hostess station (I sat right in front of it) and made guests in line wait until their conversation was completed before they were acknowledged or they were out in the concourse talking with friends. Doneshia did not engage in that behavior. She was quite professional and did a great job. She definitely deserved the almost 50% tip that I left. I highly recommend Doneshia and will ask for her when I’m back at the Atlanta Airport again.“

“The Cowboy Ribeye changed my life, I for some reason chased that with the Lobster Mac. Then adding insult to injury tried my wife's filet....I am floating to heaven....this small quiet gem of a place gives Michelin vibes but is wasted being lost in a hotel lobby.“

“Dallas was amazing as was the wine and meal we ordered!“

“Great food, atmosphere and service!“

“I recently visited Outback and overall had a good experience, although there are a few areas that could be improved.

The wait time was about 30 minutes, which is understandable depending on the time of day. From the beginning, the service was very friendly, and the staff made the experience more enjoyable.

The drinks and appetizer were excellent, both in flavor and presentation. However, the timing and order in which the drinks and food were served could be better coordinated for a smoother experience.

The main course took a bit longer than expected, which slightly affected the overall experience. Also, soft background music would add a more elegant touch to the atmosphere.

I especially want to highlight our server, whose attention and attitude made a big difference; thanks to her, my rating went from a 3 to a 4.

Overall, good food and great service, with a few adjustments that could elevate the experience even more.“

“Thank you Longhorn for saving the day. We had been planning my sister's surprise party for her 50th birthday for several weeks. Then yesterday the restaurant we been in communication with lost or didnt officially record our reservations for 30ppl!! Yard house Atlantic Station and The Battery deceived us, and now we were scrambling at the last minute to find a place to accommodate 30ppl at the last minute. Crystal calmed my fears and said come on. We came, we sat together and near each other. We drank, we laughed, we ate great! Thank you Tanner for your patience and service. Thank you Longhorn Steakhouse“

“Ordered their 6-oz Renegade Sirloin with a loaded Baked Potato and Mixed Green Salad. Chose Med Rare rare so it would be Medium on pickup. Perfectly cooked, 1” thick, nicely seasoned, and the potato was also perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh and crispy. Excellent takeout meal at a great price.

We also ordered a 1/2-lb burger and fries; it was cooked medium well as ordered and the lettuce and tomato were fresh and set off to the side as was the bun, avoiding sogginess. The fries weren’t crispy though, maybe from sitting too long in the plastic box, they were damp.

We would definitely order again. One thing that could improve- they did not respond when I checked in that I had arrived, and after waiting 10+ min I called. The meal was ready. they had just had not brought it out, maybe because it was a busy Saturday night but I hadn’t seen a single takeout order brought out in the time I was parked. The other cars in the takeout spots were empty so I think people dining inside were using the pickup spots.“
