BLT Steak
45 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard, Atlanta, GA, 30308
404-577-7601
The crisp, modern interior sets BLT Steak apart from clubby steakhouses such as Bone’s and Chops, but the kitchen’s prowess also gives those old-liners some meaty competition.

Kevin Rathbun Steak
154 Krog Street, Atlanta, GA, 30307
404-524-5600
The city’s finest example of a chef-driven chophouse. The porterhouse supplied by the famous Allen Brothers is the kind of massive hunk of meat you’ll have to share, and the dry-aged cowboy rib-eye affords full gratification.

KR SteakBar
349 Peachtree Hills Avenue, Atlanta, GA, 30305
404-841-8820
Glancing through the menu, you’ll see the restaurant’s name is a bit of a misnomer: There’s much more emphasis on pastas, charcuterie, and Italian-themed small plates than there is on beef.
