23 Best Steakhouses near Decatur

“My daughter brought me here to celebrate my birthday. Everything was delicious, from our drinks through dessert. I can’t stop thinking about those goat cheese beignets. Our server was incredible. I’m looking forward to dining here again soon.“

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

“This legendary steakhouse exceeded all of our expectations! Exceptional customer service, over-the- top taste sensations, generous portions, gracious, friendly servers-- in fact, every member of the dining room staff enhanced our experience. This has to be one of the finest meals we can remember. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer: thick, oversized rings with masterful crunch and flavor. My husband had the N.Y. strip, and I had the Bones salad with grilled shrimp. Both choices had us oohing and aahing with every bite. Regardless of how full you are, you have to get the Mile High pie, which is an ice cream cake with all kinds of delicious surprises as you excavate your way through it's layers. Thanks to Jared, Jonathan and the owners of Bones for setting the gold standard.“

“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“

“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. ❣️“

“My husband and I dined here for our anniversary and it was lovely. We had the lobster fritters and salt & pepper shrimp for our apps. Both were so flavorful! Then we had the 12 ounce wagyu strip and the 20 ounce ribeye with creamed corn and truffle fries for our sides - extremely delicious! And yes, we ate well 😊. To top it all off our server, Reggie was the best! Friendly and attentive. We are definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“This place had been on my bucket list since before it opened, and after tonight’s dinner with a party of six, it largely delivered, with a few notable caveats worth knowing before you go.

The food is excellent and the ambience is great, but let me get into the specifics: We were seated at a large round table with comfortable but quite narrow chairs, worth noting if you’re broader in the hips. More significantly, the noise level is no joke. Multiple reviews warn about it, and they’re right: we were legitimately shouting across the table all evening. Perfect for a lively group dinner, but not the place for a romantic night out or a business meal.

The menu and website prime you for a leisurely experience, and they mean it. Our dinner stretched nearly three hours. Charming in principle, though less so when you’re straining to hear each other. Service also slowed noticeably between appetizers and entrées.

One frustration: on a $700 bill before alcohol, we were charged a credit card convenience fee. I understand processors charge their percentage, but at that price point, absorbing it feels like the hospitable thing to do. It left a slightly sour note on an otherwise solid evening.

I’d return ,but go in with eyes open: come hungry, come loud, and bring cash.“

“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.“

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

“I had an excellent experience, Kema was my server, she went above and beyond. They were out of asparagus (which I love at longhorn) but then she found some and the kitchen prepared my streak and asparagus perfectly. The staff here has such a warm and welcoming demeanor. I love longhorn (I go to the one in La Quinta ca a lot) but this one is absolutely fabulous. Thank you Kema you made my day! Five star treatment!! And always delicious food, somebody pat Kema on the back she is a gold star server in my opinion!!“

“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“

“SM44Atl delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the very first bite. The steak was exceptionally tender—beautifully seasoned, perfectly cooked, and full of rich, savory flavor that practically melted on the palate. The macaroni and cheese was the ideal comfort dish: creamy, decadent, and baked to perfection with a blend of cheeses that made every bite irresistible. Even the broccolini impressed, cooked to a crisp-tender finish with just the right amount of seasoning.

The oysters were fresh, bright, and impeccably prepared, while the wagyu meatballs were remarkably rich and buttery, each bite offering a depth of flavor that only high-quality wagyu can deliver. And the fried lobster? A show-stopper—light, crispy, and tender inside, with seasoning that elevated the natural sweetness of the lobster without overpowering it.

Beyond the food, the service was top-tier. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff made the entire experience seamless and welcoming. The atmosphere tied everything together perfectly: stylish, warm, and upscale without losing its comfort. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, SM44Atl sets the standard for excellence.

Highly recommended—this is a spot you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“Caitlin crushed it! easy to come back!“

“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.“

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

“Chuncey greeted us , he is wonderful, I can't walk well. Chuncey made way for me 💜..Our server, Finesse, was absolutely the best of the best! Great day ....food was delicious. We will definitely be back about once a week. Thank you longhorn.“

“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.“
