When you want steak but your wallet disagrees, don’t fret. Steak frites (steak and fries) is a hearty, budget-friendly order. So, too, are steak cuts like top sirloin—often paired with a classic sauce or side.
At the luxe lair that is Kevin Rathbun Steak in Inman Park, the steak frites plate ($40) includes an eight-ounce cut of Rangers Valley wagyu hanger steak from New South Wales, Australia, topped with black-garlic Bordelaise and red-wine shallot butter and served with herbed frites. In Adair Park, the Zodiac-inspired speakeasy Seventh House offers a steak frites special ($40) with a small Caesar salad and a martini on Wednesdays. Eight-ounce, dry-aged cuts are served with fries and garlic aioli. Downtown, Ted’s Montana Grill specializes in all-American bison steak. The eight-ounce Ted’s filet is $47 and comes with two sides—we couldn’t resist the salt-and-pepper onion rings. On Edgewood Avenue, the fun and funky Marcus Bar & Grille offers steak frites ($46) made with Chatel Farms strip loin and BBQ-spiced fries. Chef Gary Caldwell’s green-peppercorn sauce incorporates demi-glace and heavy cream. The 57th Fighter Group is always a good time for enjoying views of the runway action at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport. The menu’s affordable steak options ($38–$40) include New York strip, rib eye, and filets; all come with a side. Oak Steakhouse in Alpharetta does steak frites ($43) with seven ounces of carved beef tenderloin, fresh chimichurri sauce, and extra-crispy tallow fries. Head to The Colonnade on Cheshire Bridge Road for our go-to Bombay Sapphire gin martini ($16). For steak, there’s the rib eye ($38–$40), a 16-ounce cut of Angus beef with sauteed onions. Two sides with the order, check.
