The Best Steak in Atlanta
My six year old son loves steak. Give him a good 22 ounce T-bone and he will clean it bare. The family loves Fogo de Chao (Brazilian churasscaria), but it's not really a steak house in the traditional North American sense. Both of my kids like hibatchi (Japanese steak house) for the good meat and the side order of "show", but again its not really what I am talking about.
Let's settle the title of the best once and for all! My list of top contenders is:
- Capital Grille
- Mc Kendric's
- Bones
- The Palm
- Garrison's Boiler and Tap
- Ted's Montana Grill
- Vidalia's Southern Steak House
Capital Grille in Buckhead is great, but doesn't give you that feel of bellonging to an exclusive club like Bones does. That New York style feel is in my opinion essential to a steak house. Bones is also in Buckhead opposite Fogo de Chao. Outside impressions don't impress, but when you go inside you feel like you are a member in an exclusive club. The atmosphere is perfect for a nice steak dinner. If you like to feel like a mob boss you can eat in one of the cabinets or next to wine cabinets for a redish romantic feel. The food is impecable, service is spot on and I've always felt that I am getting good value for money.
McKendric's is hidden behind a strip mall in Dunwoody. The service, presentation and menu are exceptional. However, Garrison's bone in rib eye on the other side of the street at the Perimeter mall is as good or ever better and almost half the price. McKendric's will not leave you cold, but I have a hard time justifying the price quality ratio. Garrison's is nice weekend option if you are shopping and dont want to dress up too much. At Garrison's I would recommend going for the select bone in rib eye.
The Palm didn't impress me. The service was slow and average. The food was good, but not memorable.
Ted's Montana Grill is in my opinion and upscale Long Horn Steak House. I'll take Long Horn for the price quality ratio.
Vidalia promotes having a Suothern flair. If you want Southern flair in Atlanta then go to a good barbecue place and not a steak house. Vidalia is good, but again not memorable.
My judgement is that the winner in all categories is Bones.
