One of the most welcoming restaurants you’ll find in Atlanta. If you come for the atmosphere, you’ll stick around for the food: from award-winning steak , to soups , salads , and classic pasta dishes. Read more

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.

Sharecare

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

Rasmus Zwickson

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.

AJC

The filet mignon is grilled and finished with a butter sauce then served with asparagus and potatoes - get it. Read more

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.

Try the lightly breaded fried lobster for appetizer ! Hal's ribeye is so good!

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
