Hal's - Buckhead

We had a wonderful night celebrating a friend's 60th birthday. Wait staff was excellent and the food was great. We would definitely come back to Hal's.

Great food and service. 2nd floor location was nice, until a drunk woman at the bar forgot how to talk at a normal volume. Bartender, there are many ways to handle this - don’t be lazy. Keep Hal’s classy. Otherwise, it turns into another touristy steak place that locals don’t want to go to.

That said, great servers (best in the business, in my view) and food as always.

Finally, I would start requiring “well kept “ denim and no tennis shoes. Sad to have to state this, but it’s reality - some people need direction.

Outstanding food and service as always. Hal’s is always a favorite

Steak was a bit over cooked. All sides were delicious. Highly recommend the lobster Mac and cheese.

I have been to Hal's 4 times now. The steak literally melts in your mouth, in addition to being Prime- what a combination. It is a noise environment just by the nature of the seating, but the food far outweighs that. We have our company Christmas dinners there every year.

Always great food. Energetic crowd. Great wine selection with reasonable prices for a bottle.

Loud, slow service, disinterested waiter, Veal Picata was over cooked and chewy

What a fantastic culinary experience! Everything, with a couple of exceptions was wonderful. The bone-in ribeye was probably the best I've ever had. The lobster appetizer, lobster bisque, asparagus and deserts were all wonderful. The not so good was the "old fashioned" cocktail and the location of our table which was directly outside the upper level elevator and stairwell. This alone almost ruined the evening.

Arrived a little early but were still seated while we waited on the third member of our party. Great beer, wine, and steak. The waiter was on point as was the food. Excellent steak.

The staff in beyond exceptional, service is impeccable and the food is fabulous. Has always been one of my Atlanta / Buckhead favorites for years!

It was an unbelievable experience! Started with great personnel that greeted us! Fantastic waitress ! There is nothing better than having great people to present some very creative food. All the unique blends of flavors created a fantastic experience. Thanks for a wonderful evening! We are already planning our next visit.

Wow! This place never disappoints. Consistently amazing food, service, and ambiance. It's not wonder it's called "the steak house" !!

I thought smoking had been banned throughout Atlanta???? So disgusting to go to a nice restaurant and have the smell of cigars and cigarettes wafting through the building. Also the noise level is unbearable. We requested a table upstairs and while it was not as loud it was still too much. Maybe I am getting too old to got there!!! HOWEVER - you can't find a better a better steak anywhere!

Great meal as always, but’s it’s SO loud. Obnoxiously so.

The food was delicious, our waiter name was Jeff! He was perfect. He was very attentive and prompt. The drinks were on point. The service was excellent.

Food and service were outstanding. Two issues, however: first, it was extremely loud (and this was a Monday evening!). Second, and more important, Hal’s is a smoking establishment (which I did not know beforehand else I would not have gone). Again, great food, but we won’t go again. Too loud and far too smelly.

Perfect place for our team building dinner before attending a concert at nearby Chastain.

Great food , great vibes will most definitely go again!

First time at Hal’s and it is hands down best steak we have had in Atlanta! We will definitely be back!

Anniversary

The food here is worth the price. If I"m going to pay bucks for a steak, it's worth the money here. The servers are great.

What a great experience. Food and service were top shelf. Really enjoyed music too.

My wife could not stop talking about how great her Filet was prepared.

Hal's is our choice for every special occasion, service is the best anywhere - no rushing and when the steaks arrive at the table the talking stops, they melt in your mouth.

Portions of Food has went down compared to times before. Truffle Mac and Cheese not the same.

My first experience at Hal’s was amazing. Shawn the server was attentive and very helpful. Can’t wait to try again

Very nice special occasion dinner. Excellent service from Jamie on the second floor.

Hal's has always been a favorite. (20+ years) This visit, while "it's still Hal's", the restaurant was very busy and staff was juggling to keep things flowing smoothly. Hal's is usually a well oiled machine deeply rooted in quality of service. Classic high end steakhouse you won't be disappointed. Best to choose a week night if you're looking for that well oiled service expected from a top notch establishment.

Meal was fantastic. My seventeen year old son said “It was the best steak I’ve ever had.”.

We like to go on special occasions and always have a great experience.

Jamie was awesome! Great dinner as usual. Had the special - bone in filet...melted in my mouth like butter!

I love hals, the saved my life. I started choking and one of the guys rushed to my rescue and Heimlich Maneuver and dislodged the steak, I am very grateful.

Parts of the restaurant can be quite noisy. We had a table for two in a very quiet part of the front of the first floor.

I know this is an Atlanta establishment but this place is average at best! The decor is old, the hostess’s are dressed like cheerleaders at an NBA game. To add insult to injury the “entertainment” was terrible. Bad cover songs sung even more poorly. All in all an average place. There are much better places in Atlanta.

One of the great steak houses in the country. Prime beef cooked to perfection. Certainly compares to Bern's in Tampa for beef. Noisy main room but great people watching. If you want a quieter experience call to reserve upstairs.

Hal’s is the best steakhouse in Atlanta. Incredible food, intimate environment and great service. We are never disappointed

other than the cigar smoke everything was excellent. service was terrific.

Always a great meal!

Best steak ever.

I really wish they didn't allow smoking at the bar, it makes the entire main dining unpleasant for those of us who are allergic.
