Bone's Restaurant (Buckhead)
Atlanta's grand power-lunch institution since 1979, where the butter-soft filet mignon and a fancy hashbrown dome are served amid Mad Men-era leather and a roster of secretive private rooms.
Kevin Rathbun Steak (Inman Park)
A converted Clorox-factory chophouse on the BeltLine slinging dry-aged Prime steaks, sriracha-molasses thick-cut bacon, and charred jalapeno creamed corn beside a wood-burning fireplace.
Chops Lobster Bar (Buckhead)
A celebrity-lined Buckhead landmark three decades in, pairing USDA Prime cuts upstairs with the clubbier downstairs Lobster Bar, signature fried lobster morsels, and a tableside warmed-spinach salad.
Il Premio (Old Fourth Ward)
An opulent Italian steakhouse inside the Forth Hotel, where nine cuts range from a Japanese wagyu to a 41-ounce Florentine, joined by gratineed campanelle and a baby-grand-piano bar.
Marcel (West Midtown)
Ford Fry's Michelin-recognized Westside chophouse plays at early-1900s glamour, flame-grilling a 42-ounce porterhouse and finishing it in herb butter alongside crispy frites and a gravy boat of bearnaise.
H&W Steakhouse (Peachtree Corners)
A VIP-treatment suburban chophouse with nightly live music, a tableside steak presentation, and a Willy Wonka-level lineup of steak butters, down to foie gras butter on the wagyu strip.
Hal's The Steakhouse (Buckhead)
A New Orleans-tinged Buckhead party-with-steak since 1989, where a nightly piano bar, prime cuts, and oyster bordelaise draw Atlanta's most spirited crowd.
New York Prime (Buckhead)
A supper club where 28-day aged steaks arrive with a Pittsburgh char, headlined by a 40-ounce tomahawk and a full-pound loaded baked potato.

A modern Buckhead favorite trading on USDA Prime dry-aged beef, including a 60-day bone-in ribeye and tomahawk, backed by a 400-plus bourbon collection.
101 Steak (Vinings)
An upscale Vinings steakhouse with a small-town vibe, free fresh-baked popovers, add-on steak butters, and a musician serenading the bar on weekends.
