Georgia Steakhouse Named One of the Best in America for Steak
The food experts at Taste of Home have put together at tally of the best steakhouses in America. Taste of Home is known for their recipes, which are sent in from people all over the country and world, but they also look at restaurants. “There’s nothing more satisfying than a grilling juicy steak—except when that cut is expertly prepared by one of the chefs at the best steakhouse in your state,” they note.

Where did the concept of the steakhouse begin? According to Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster, “The steakhouse began as the chophouse in the U.K. Chophouses started to appear in London in the 1690s as restaurants where individual portions of meat, or chops, were served to patrons. Originally, these chophouses catered only to men and their purpose was to serve a meal that was hot and quick to local workers.” While steakhouses originated in London, according to Christner’s, they are obviously popular in the States today.
So, which Georgia steakhouse topped the tally? It’s Kevin Rathbun Steak located at 154 Krog St NE STE 200 in Atlanta.
