15 Best Steakhouses near East Point

“Love the food but not our chef!“

“I usually have good experiences at Longhorn regardless of the high/low foot traffic. This particular time was busier than normal and, although it's my fault for not checking my bag before leaving, they missed a few things. All in all, it's still one of my favorite places to dine.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I visited SM44 ATL for Mother’s Day and overall I’d give the food about a 3.5/5 stars. The experience wasn’t bad, but a few things felt like they were missing something special.

I had the oysters topped with crawfish, and honestly that combination didn’t really work for me. My sea bass was good, although I think it would’ve been even better if it wasn’t served as such a fillet that was randomly placed on the plate. I substituted one of my sides for Brussels sprouts — the flavor was okay, but they definitely could’ve been crispier.

The lobster mac & cheese was good too, but I expected it to be a little creamier. The fettuccine was flavorful and they were very generous with the Parmesan cheese. Someone at the table ordered the crispy chicken over grits, but I didn’t personally taste it.

My martini was decent, but if you’re going to garnish drinks with fruit, it should be fresh. The fruit on top looked soggy and was falling apart.

Presentation overall was nice, although the mac & cheese presentation felt a little too casual for what seems to be aiming for an upscale/elegant dining experience. The atmosphere itself was interesting — more like a bar with dinner tables than a true fine dining vibe.

Overall, not terrible, but for the price and aesthetic, I expected a little more refinement in both flavor and presentation.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“I made the reservation not realizing Bentley's is a hotel restaurant. Had I known, I would have gone elsewhere and would have missed a very nice meal. First, the manager/greeter, waitress, and the server were unbelievably welcoming and attentive. You felt like they were truly glad to see you. The baked goat cheese appetizer and the lobster bisque stood up to the best restaurants in Atlanta. Truly delicious. The filet was cooked perfectly but a little over seasoned for my taste. The brussels and risotto were very nice. Portions were more than we could eat. PS - they validate your parking ticket so you don't pay for hotel parking.“

“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.“

“Aliza was a fantastic server. She was very kind, personable. She is great at her job!“
