Top choice in Atlanta


Ford Fry's French-style, boxing-themed steakhouse serves unquestionably expensive, unequivocally transcendent cuts of beef from hormone-free, purebred Black Angus cattle from Chicago's Linz Heritage Angus Ranch. Each cut is a labor of love draped over smoldering Georgia hickory wood and finished with salted butter. Perfect order: divinely crusted bone-in filet, brandy au poivre sauce, béarnaise fries and burgundy-roasted mushrooms.

It's a temple of carnivorous arts unparalleled in Atlanta.
