Here's my steak house list based on personal experience, not in any special order:
1) Ruth's Chris - Great filet but the Atlanta locations are a little inconsistent. The Roswell Rd location just sucks but the Buckhead location is usually excellent if you get the full-size filet. The whole "serving it on a 300 degree plate with butter on it" is a really great idea and makes for one hell of a great tasting steak.
2) Fogo De Chao - Awesome food but only worth it if you can eat your weight in meat. Lunches are $30 a head and I think dinner is like $45. It is all you can eat and they have a salad bar with a lot more than just salad plus you'll have a selection of about 4-6 cuts of beef plus lamb, pork and chicken as well.
3) Garrison's - The Perimeter Mall location has come a long way and serves one hell of a good filet. It's almost as good as Ruth's Chris (when Ruth's Chris is on their game) and a little cheaper and more laid back as far as atmosphere.
4) Joey D's Oak Room - This place is kind of an ATL secret. It's tucked back behind Perimeter where Abernathy turns into something called Permiter West. Their prime rib is awesome, the filet is very good, and in general the food just rocks. Also, the portions are huge and the food is NOT ala carte so you really get bang for the buck.
5) Ted's - Different but just not worth it. I've been to both locations and their supposedly 7 oz. bison filet can be tasty but it feels more like 5 oz. It's small, the sides are meager and they aren't always on their game. You will drop $30 and still feel hungry
6) Mortons - I haven't been to the ATL one yet but they are top notch elsewhere and the Chicago one always rocked. It's worth checking out.
7) Houstons - Okay steak but I wasn't impressed.
8) Benihana - If you like Japanese food and want steak with some extras, this place is definitely worth while. The Buckhead location is one of the best I've eaten at in the country, as far as consistent quality of their filet. Plust you get the entertainment factor, rice, soup, salad, and a bunch of vegetables. The Midtown location is okay but not as good.
That's the list that comes to mind off the top of my head. I've never been to Bones (cause I'm not a big reservation type of guy and the place is pretty small so they are a must) and we tried hitting Chops once only to get dirty looks for not being in a jacket and told there was and 1 1/2 hour wait...thanks I'll pass.
