Porterhouse Grill - Athens

“A home run as always. Excellent atmosphere, wonderful food, and exactly the right amount of service. Zaire and Brittany were outstanding and we had a great birthday celebration. And the Sinatra Guy was a great addition tonight.”

“I had an outstanding experience at this steakhouse from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, upscale, and welcoming, perfect for a great night out. Tabitha was our server, and she truly made the evening exceptional. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered fantastic recommendations. Her timing was perfect throughout the meal, and she made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Also a huge shout out to Brittany for making our amazing drinks.”

“Brittany was great at the bar her help from Stephen, Logan, Zaire, and Tabitha were greatly appreciated, they all came by and spoke with us and just made our night. It was my first time here and I truly enjoyed the hospitality and the food was also very great. Definitely stop by here and give them a visit and make sure you give them a visit. Hopefully management realizes how great they are.”

“Hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Athens. Zaire is truly exceptional... friendly, funny, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being overbearing, and impressively timely. Every recommendation he made was spot on. We came in on a Monday and accidentally landed on Sinatra Night!!!!! DO. NOT. MISS. IT. Ray Allen on the piano went completely above and beyond: learned our names, sang songs to us, and made the night feel so personal and special. Absolute 10/10. We danced our asses off. My husband ordered the tomahawk and WOW... the cowboy butter (another Zaire recommendation) was unreal. I had the NY strip, which was excellent. The only thing I’d change next time is swapping the red skin mashed potatoes for a different side, they were fine, but everything else was outstanding. Green beans were surprisingly salty and garlic-y perfection and my steak was just PERFECT. Wine recommendation was phenomenal, dinner was incredible, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. Philly egg rolls were delicious, loved the whipped butter with rolls, and next time we’ll definitely try the fried green tomatoes or seafood. This has officially replaced our usual Braselton go-to and honestly beats our longtime favorite in Athens. We’re already planning to come back on another Monday or Thursday. Sorry for the long review, it was really THAT good. Do yourself a favor and GO.”

“We received a reminder text 30 minutes before reservation time, nice to have a reminder. But, it also advised that we had 1.5 hrs from reservation time until we had to vacate our table. There were a total of FIVE tables with patrons. Just thought that was a bit off-putting. We were offered dessert, but declined, due to the time constraints. The service was great! Our server was very attentive. The food: if you want a good steak or grilled shrimp this hit the spot! The she crab soup was good, the rolls were good. The mashed potatoes were bland, at best; the fried green tomatoes were very disappointing; the green beans were practically raw, not “sautéd” as expected. The chicken Marsala was bland and overcooked. The entire restaurant was very hot and humid. Overall, not a pleasant experience.”
