Best restaurants near me in Chamblee, GA

A former colleague, and dear friend, Susan, texted me and asked if I wanted to go to Joey D's for dinner. Well... YES! It was a belated Birthday celebration as I turned 137 on the 10th. But we look for any reason to go out and it's always a hoot. Christmas revelry was in full force as the place was packed for our 6PM reservation. That said I was seated immediately waiting for her to arrive, by none other than Kaylee herself, and got my request for a table at the far end of the room. That's my favorite place to sit as you can see the entire room, watch the team work, and have a front on view of that wonderful backlit bar. Drinks were ordered, a martini for her and Prosecco for me, a rundown of specials, and upon our servers return we ordered. Susan had a garlic NY Strip. Ordered rare with a side Caesar and a loaded spud. ( I like saying spud ). The steak was delivered as ordered. Susan commented that there was ample garlic butter that makes this steak wonderful. I had the Caesar entrée salad with chicken. As you know this is among my favorite Caesar salads in the city and it came overdressed ( my term ) in that wonderful Caesar dressing and plenty of grated cheese. There was not a morsel left when I finished. Cannot remember my server's name but she did a great job stopping by to check on our drinks and food throughout the evening. It's good to see familiar faces in the front of the house. Amancho, one of my favorites, was delivering food to a nearby table and said hello, as did Drew the Assistant GM. I come here often and aside from my typical seating request I feel as though I am not at all a pretentious diner here, but it's nice to know that they appreciate my patronage. Business here is good and the team well-oiled. Kudos to the management! A birthday piece of cheesecake to go, And another wonderful evening at one of my very favorite places in the books. Oh .... cheesecake-sofa-sweatpants is the way to go if not eating in the restaurant!

Awesome! No better steak house in the city, period.

We had the salad bar, great food and value... we always have good time here. it would be great to have a cookie or something sweat on the salad bar. We will be back!

T was our waiter and he was awesome! Everything he suggested was fantastic, and the food was out-of-this-world. We were only halfway through the meal before we were planning the next time we were going to come!

The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing. We attended for my husband's birthday. When we arrived we were immediately seated and greeted by our waiter Eric. For our first time eating there he walked us through the menu and gave wonderful suggestions. The presentation of the food was beautiful and everything was delicious. I would highly suggest this restaurant. Thank you Eric for giving us a memorable evening we will definitely come back with family and friends and ask for you!
