Go to any one of the 4 or 5 great steakhouses and get a plate of beef that is just as good as the others. But when friends ask me where I’d go for steak , my answer is Hal’s On Old Ivy every time. Read more
Super old school steak house . Guaranteed to be packed every night. I think there is better steak in Atlanta but fun ambience. Biggest negative/ you can smoke inside.
Great steaks but big portions . An example is their 22-oz steak and the real true portion should be 3-4 ounces. Immediately ask for a “to go” box and put half of your steak in it to save for later. Read more
Even if you don't think you like creamed spinach , get some. You won't regret it. Also, the broth from the mussels is pure magic...take some bread and go to town .
To run a great steakhouse , the list of requirements is relatively short : A solid wine selection , a few exceptional sides, and most importantly, excellent beef . Read more
Hal's house Rib eye is excellent!my rec is to ask them to go easy on the Cajun seasoning . Can get a bit salty.
The filet mignon is grilled and finished with a butter sauce then served with asparagus and potatoes - get it. Read more
A Buckhead institution, Hal’s is the place to go for award-winning steak , great Southern hospitality and some of the best dishes in Atlanta.
Hal's bone in rib eye is the best steak in Atlanta ... The leftovers that I take home and re-heat on my grille is the second best steak in Atlanta ..
A great steakhouse with lots of positive energy!! Great service and management team! But, Kaitlyn, Jessica, Autumn, Whitney and Alisa are the prettiest bar staff in Atlanta!!
Amazing food. The trout with crabmeat just melted in your mouth. My favorite restaurant in Atlanta by far.
Try the lamb ! Angel Hair pasta is a great side dish for this.
Arrive early, have a cocktail ... Try something southern from the menu. You can't go wrong here!
Everything is good. Tried the Lyonnaise Potatoes , they were epic.
Try the lightly breaded fried lobster for appetizer ! Hal's ribeye is so good!
Awesome crawfish appetizer ! The filet is a solid choice. Bartenders are outstanding.
The steak and the fried lobster are amazing.
Ask for Roy. He is an excellent and very hospitable server. My family always requests him.
Thank you for supporting local people and food. Now go on and enjoy yourself!
Head over to Johnny's Hideaway afterwards; seriously it’s worth making dinner plans here purely on the strength of its proximity to this weirdo cougar den. Read more
The 16oz sirloin steak is the best in Atlanta and check out the Lyonaise potatoes are phenomenal!
The upstairs bar has less of a crowd and very personable service.
Sit upstairs at the bar ! Try the escargot .
The bone in ribeye is a must have.
Get the bourbon bread pudding . It's wonderful!!!????
It's a decent steakhouse , with a good selection of non-steak options.
seriously fantastic steaks . cigar smoking allowed in bar area.

Better steaks than Bones or chops
Request to sit upstairs if you want non-smoking.
Great old school steakhouse !
Get the Filet! Best thing on the menu for sure.
Great surf n turf
The filet was good - comparable to Bones. The remainder of the food was fair . I was impressed it enough to go back.
They should check your ID before you order the bourbon bread pudding .
Best steak in Atlanta !
Nice wine list
Filet mignon
The au prove filet is just excellent
Try Cayrum , its a dark rum aged 3 years and then infused with all natural ginger and honey . Its great as a chilled shot, on the rocks, ginger ale/beer, juices or Red Bull . Theres nothing like it! Read more
Best Au Poirve Filet ever.
Great bone in ribeye ...
Save your money and go to Rathbun's for steak .
One of the best steak restaurants to date. Top service and quality. Not to miss if in town. Book early - Rania
Bar ambiance is awesome. Perfect for dates or with friends. Late night menu is a deal! Steak tartare with black truffles is delicious! Have the « vieux carré » if you love a great old-fashioned. - Nay
Holly made my birthday dinner so special! Every course was incredible! Olive oil cake is a must! - Sarah Magbee
