Most commenters recommend Little Alley, and one calls it easily the best steakhouse they have been to. One diner who has eaten at the Buckhead location many times says the food has never been bad, but two commenters say it is not in the same league as other Atlanta steakhouses, and one of them points to the Roswell branch instead. Others who do not name a branch are less impressed: one was disappointed by the steaks though they liked the sides and atmosphere, one found it only okay after two visits, and one finds it inconsistent. A couple mention a dress code.

Most people recommend Chops, and many name it as a pick. One calls it terrific and another sends people there for a classic upscale steakhouse.

Most commenters recommend Fogo de Chão, a Brazilian-style steakhouse, and many praise its all-you-can-eat deal. A couple say it suits dressing up, and one adds a birthday. A few commenters point to the Buckhead location: one calls it the best bet for a fancy white-tablecloth meal, though they would pick a more casual place most of the time, and another thinks it is still the standard. One notes the deal leaves out cuts such as ribeye and filet mignon, though sirloin choices should be fine, and another jokes you will leave very full. Two commenters are less positive: one calls it overrated and another says a newer Alpharetta spot beats it.

Many diners recommend Longhorn Steakhouse as a good-value chain steak, and a couple call it consistently good. One says they have had better steaks there than at much pricier steakhouses, and another is hooked on the Outlaw ribeye. One says the North Druid Hills location is great. Not everyone is convinced: one commenter says it is decent but Texas Roadhouse is better, and another says it is not their style.

Most diners recommend Marcel, and two describe the steaks as excellent or great. One calls it one of the city's top steakhouses, and another suggests it as a downtown pick. Caveats: a few diners find it pricey, one longtime fan says recent visits felt pricier and weaker, and one finds it inconsistent or underwhelming in some respect. One notes it is not a jeans-and-T-shirt place.

Several people recommend Cooks & Soldiers, and two single out the steak, with one saying its chuleton can stand against any steak in Georgia. One diner says the best steak they have had in several years came from here, though they note it is not really a steakhouse. Another says they have never had a bad meal there, and one calls it wonderful but not casual.
