"Everybody loves a good steakhouse, especially when that steak restaurant is helmed by an Atlanta-raised celebrity chef. The simple but stylish Midtown restaurant offers a catch-all of favorites to please a large, usually inharmonious crew who can’t even agree on a playlist. With several choice cuts of steak, crab claws drenched in Cajun butter, and lobster mac and cheese—a crowd favorite with big chunks of lobster—you may find refreshing agreement for once. Small groups can feel comfortable walking in. But if you’re rolling up with a whole a*s team of 10 or more (and eight or more on weekends), you should book reservations through the venue’s event planner." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Atlanta has its share of celebrity chef-driven restaurants. If you’re looking to impress a tourist with the city’s Southern soul, head to LowCountry Steak from Chef G. Garvin (a born-and-bred Atlantan). The upscale Midtown restaurant gives you all the steakhouse favorites along with regional classics like Georgia shrimp and grits. And their well-seasoned, creamy grits should serve as the definitive gospel, converting non-believers to grit fans one order at a time. And while the spacious, open setting and soft R&B tunes make you feel cozy, the white tablecloths remind you not to get too sloppy with that au jus. After all, you’ll want a clean space to photograph your peach cobbler." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
"As a steakhouse with delicious soul food sides, LowCountry in Midtown is already firmly cemented in our list of go-to dinner spots. But we’ll come in just for their skillet peach cobbler at the bar. (They don’t offer this dessert for takeout, trust us we’ve tried.) Served hot from the oven with ice cream on top, this cobbler has a balanced crust-to-fruit ratio. Sweet caramel adds a layer of unexpected flavor we love." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"A steakhouse with soul food sides is the restaurant we never knew we needed until LowCountry Steak. Helmed by an Atlanta-raised celebrity chef (who also has a spot in the airport), this stylish Midtown restaurant offers a catch-all of classic steak and Southern favorites. The menu can please any large, inharmonious crew who can’t even agree on a playlist. With several choice cuts of steak—along with crab claws drenched in Cajun butter, lobster-heavy mac and cheese, and a skillet cornbread that almost works as dessert—you may all reach a refreshing agreement for once." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"A good steak doesn’t have to be complicated, and celebrity chef and cookbook author G. Garvin proves that with his similarly unstuffy Midtown Atlanta anchor. Choose from USDA Prime ribeyes with or without the bone, a New York strip, or oversized filet mignon and sides such as whipped garlic potatoes, the lobster mac and cheese (featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives), and sauteed green beans. Salads are similarly classic." - Su-Jit Lin
