    Very professional staff delivering on the high quality food and drink the establishment offers. All the menu items we tried were delicious. Not a fan of the valet parking which pretty much the only parking option available.

    Bone-In Berkshire Pork Chop

    It's hard to imagine a place like Blue Ridge Grill opening in Atlanta today. It's even a bit tough to imagine a place like this still existing in the middle of Buckhead. After all, so many of the older establishments have closed, with Buckhead diner shuttering doors just a few years ago. At a glance, there is nothing about Blue Ridge Grill that seems to belong in today's Atlanta filled with omakase sushi menus and "pop up" restaurants, yet is uniquely beautiful. The red leather cushions, the reclaimed wood from a cotton mill, the sharply dressed staff and of course, the stately dressed rabbit painting above the fireplace. It is all there. Blue Ridge Grill has a mountain lodge atmosphere and an interior that is cozy, inviting and elegant. It protrudes class throughout, but also is a trip back to 1995 when Blue Ridge Grilled opened. In some ways, the patrons are also on a bit of a journey through decades here as the average age of the guests appeared to be in their 60s. When it comes to the menu, it is all the classics. While trout is supposedly the most famous dish here, the filet mignon and the pork chop are great as well. The pork chop was not the best quality of pork by today's standards of regeneratively raised and organic animals, but prepared well, just a bit flavorless aside from the sauce and seasoning. Also the cut was a bit tough on the edges due to what seemed to be a muscle or tendon layer. The filet mignon is good. Okra was perfectly cooked avoiding the healthy slime. Now, we arrive at the list of beverages. Good wine list with specials. There are a few big name scotches, although nothing notable or unique to highlight smaller distilleries. The biggest brand names are overpriced heavily, with Macallan 12 running over $40 for a pour. The American whiskey list is much better and more reasonably priced relative to retail. Tequila list needs to be re-written from scratch to remove depressing samples like Casamigos and Herradura to add at least something good aside from Clase Azul. The team here is welcoming and kind. The waiter, Sergi, was phenomenal and very attentive. As a whole, there is no denying that Blue Ridge Grill is a special place. While there are some efforts to be done to improve ingredient sourcing, quality and expand work with local farms and pastures (ex. Local White Oak Pastures could be a good start), it's a wonderful establishment that Atlanta needs to preserve its character. Let's cherish and retain these local landmarks.

    Always love eating here. We brought the kids recently and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well. Anything you order here is going to be good and service and ambiance is perfect for business or romantic date night.

    Blue Ridge Grill is one of the most comfortable restaurants in all of Atlanta. The comfort factor is just the beginning. The service team at this restaurant makes for upscale dining with a personal component. The Waite staff are professional, intellectual, & joyful in their industry. The food quality is cooked to order prepared by a chef, always fresh & hot with the type presentation that you would hope for at a fine/upscale dining experience. Located off I 75 and West Paces ferry Road at the Northside Parkway exit. Blue Ridge Grill is a legendary Buckhead staple for lunch or dinner. Definitely in my top three restaurants in the city of Atlanta. Reservations required.

    Crab Cakes

    Had dinner at Blue Ridge Grill while I was in Atlanta and it ended up being a really solid choice. The menu had a great mix of options including steaks, seafood, salads, and a few Southern-inspired sides, so it wasn't hard to find something for everyone. We started with the crab cake and mussels. The crab cake had a good amount of actual crab meat without too much filler, and the mussels came in a flavorful broth that we used the bread to soak up. I also ordered a peach and blue cheese salad with pecans, which was surprisingly refreshing and a nice balance to everything else. For entrées, we got the filet and the ribeye. Both were cooked just the way we asked, tender and juicy with a good sear. The loaded baked potato was massive and definitely could be shared. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Service was polite and efficient, no complaints there. I didn't get a chance to try dessert but I'd definitely be interested in coming back to try a few more things off the menu. Overall it was a great dining experience and I'd return if I'm ever in Atlanta again.

    Devils on Horseback - get these! They are addictive.

    Love this Buckhead restaurant. The atmosphere is elegantly business casual with a mountain-home feel. We always love coming here and the manager and wait staff are professional and friendly.

    Food was good. Only went because bones was closed. Not sure I'd make a special trip. Definitely a neighborhood steakhouse vibe where the classics are done right and you know what you're getting. Service is great and everyone is super helpful. The octopus hands down was the best thing we had. Marinated for 24 hours or so. Everything else was good, love the sauce with the sea bass. Interior was just a bit steakhouse dated.

    Went for Christmas dinner with my wife. Always good food and drinks. Very consistent. Service is outstanding. Holiday decorations made it feel festive and cozy. Bar is too small with people standing as limited seating.

    Aviator
    Andrew K.

    Might be my favorite restaurant! The filet mignon was perfectly seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium. Fantastic taste and tender. The whipped potatoes and Mac and cheese were perfect sides to accompany it. I HIGHLY recommend the Devils on Horseback for an appetizer and the Aviator for a cocktail. Service was impeccable with friendly faces that made our coworker's birthday celebration one to remember. Plus, the rustic atmosphere makes one feel right at home, or as though they've taken a vacation into western North Carolina.

    Risotto and red
    Dan M.

    Boss took me here for my retirement dinner, wives were also in attendance. My review may be slightly biased as I didn't pay for anything. Started with the octopus which was lightly charred to perfection. Also had the mushroom risotto. We were not expecting little risotto balls, but they were very tasty. I had the grilled salmon. Cooked to perfection on a bed of what I think was cabbage? Not sure, but it was a great pairing and tasted awesome. Sides included the corn souffle, spinach and mashed potatoes. All were tasty but the corn was the table favorite. Had a bottle of Plumbjack and Silver Oak cabs with the meal, excellent wine. Great place for a special occasion.

The appetizers were phenomenal, especially the smoked salmon and the onion soup, both of which were highlights of the meal. The rabbit entrée was also excellent and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the lamb was a major disappointment. While it was cooked properly, it had very little flavor and lacked the distinctive taste that makes lamb unique. If I had closed my eyes, I would not have known I was eating lamb. Overall, we had a very enjoyable dining experience thanks to the exceptional service, beautiful setting, and outstanding appetizers. I would happily return, but I would choose a different entrée next time.

Also, as the sweet tea connoisseur that she is, she found the tea a little too sweet. I ordered the Pan-Seared Blackened Ahi Tuna, and it was freakin' delicious! Every part of the meal was outstanding. The Brussels sprouts were incredible, and the tuna was cooked and seared perfectly. I also had a Dragon Fruit Margarita, which was fantastic. To top it all off, our server, Brenden, was cordial, informative, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal. He truly helped elevate the entire experience. (Give that man a raise!) Summary: Highly recommended! Despite a couple of minor issues, the food, atmosphere, drinks, and service made for an excellent dining experience. We will definitely be back!

It started off great with the warm welcome and service so I was that much more excited. Our server was nice and friendly and patient as some of us were indecisive about what to order, it all looked and sounded good. The drinks came out first and they were actually pretty good. Then the appetizer, which was the crab dip. It was soupy and came with only a few pieces of bread, not much crab. Then the entrees, gumbo, stuffed salmon, Mardi grass pasta, catfish, dirty rice and oyster trio. All were too salty. I love salt so if im saying it was too salty it's really bad. Some of us couldn't finish the dishes because the salt was overbearing. Huge disappointment. To make things worse, our server disappeared several times, so much so we had to constantly ask someone to find him. He was sitting at another table socializing most of the time, which was odd and irritating. I was so over it I didn't even bother to order the dessert I wanted to try. It was not as crowded as I would expect it to be on a Friday night and how it appears on TikTok, so that should've been a sign. And the fact that a 20% gratuity is forced upon us even with mediocre service is also frustrating. And quite frankly the menu prices are too high for the quality and quantity of food.

That review still stands for what it was -- but this is about what happened next. About 3-4 months ago, I stopped in after work wearing medical scrubs and clogs. The hostess turned me away at the door, citing what she called a dress code. Fine -- except I could clearly see guests already seated inside wearing sandals. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told it was a "strict policy" and offered a to-go order instead. No explanation for the double standard. No accountability. Just a dismissal. I've been coming here for years and never had an issue with my work attire. And I've since learned I'm not alone -- friends have described similar experiences at this location. I don't throw around the word "profiling" lightly. But when enforcement is this inconsistent, it's hard to arrive at any other conclusion. The food is good. The servers have always been great. But management completely dropped the ball, and that's enough for me to walk away for good.
