Nice neighborhood bar. The staff is always nice and the food is good. I love the fried pickles and the fact that they have different events throughout the week (bingo, karoake, etc). read more

Porterhouse Grill - Steakhouses Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

This place is newish. This has been a local bar for years but it is under new management with new style and new menu. I like this establishment. The staff are nice and the vibe is chill. They are still trying to hire enough staff to handle the crowds. Have patience. I sat at the bar both visits and had a good time. Plenty of TVs and I had a good time. Second visit they were doing Trivia night (Tuesday). I tried the $3 draft beer which was not a light beer. It was an IPA that was full of flavor and quite refreshing. The beer was only $3 because it was not selling and they wanted to get it out. Friday and Saturdays are $1 wings (minimum 8). I got the buffalo lemon pepper wings. You cannot see the lemon pepper seasoning but the wings taste extremely good and are the right level of crispy. I got the ribeye covered in blue cheese butter with fries and brussel sprouts. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and is a good steak. The fries are decent. The brussel sprouts are good. I got the Black and Blue burger. They forgot the bacon but brought it out to me quickly. The sweet potato waffle fries are some the best I have ever had. They sprinkle some type of powdered sugar on them. I will come back for the fries alone. read more

See all

Food: 8.5/10 Service:10/10 Ambiance:8.5/10 Great neighborhood spot in Brookhaven. FYI: if you make a reservation on Yelp, you may not have a reservation listed on their books. They advised me upon arrival that they do not use Yelp reservations and it's best to either call or use their site. -watermelon margarita is on point! -buffalo wrap is really good! read more

As of 2026, this place is dead. Slow and rude service, expensive drinks, and I am not even sure the kitchen is open half the time. Avoid until a new place takes over. read more

This place took over for the very successful for over a decade Kaleidoscope. It's a great location in the heart of Brookhaven. Parking can be a little tricky up front, but there is a large lot around the back. It looks like they didn't really change the interior at all. Maybe a fresh coat of paint. The service is sub par in every aspect. From entering to the bar to the table service. It's trying to be a casual place with premium food, but fails in so many ways. You pay a premium price for sub par food. It just doesn't fit. So many people wanted this place to be a good successor to Kaleidoscope. After a failed initial opening due to violations, and not offering a solid meal at a solid price, Brookhaven is left to wait until this place fails and maybe something better comes along. Lastly, the owner of this place thinks it's appropriate to make posts on social media bashing former ownership and preaching some holier than thou business philosophy. It's just weird honestly. Don't give this guy your money. He has no class. read more

Need to bring ace back. He was the man, food quality is good, ace brings the vibes though

So we came to this restaurant expecting to be Porterhouse Grill & Pub however when we arrived it is now called "Ace's Place." For a Sunday evening, they were pretty dead. But we stayed and ate anyway. The food we had was actually really good so that's the plus point! But our server was kind of awkward and kept offering shots. We're all in our mid 30's to mid 40's with two kids at the table. We weren't there to "party." It was odd and the server clearly wasn't reading the room well. Also the table we got sat at was sticky and I ended up cleaning it with a paper towel from the restroom. Lastly, the vibe inside was very strange. There were 4 mannequins dressed around the room and it was just plain weird. I didn't understand it at all. We left having enjoyed the meal but with an overall bad impression of whatever this new place is trying to be. My husband said to me, "This looks like one of those restaurant bars that show up on "Bar Rescue." And he wasn't wrong. This place is in an ideal location, but they are missing the mark. read more

Food was terrible, and massively over priced. Service was slow. Had potential but not somewhere I'd go again

Great food, drinks, and service! Had the mushroom Swiss burger with fries and it was delicious! Loved the atmosphere with fun music and dance floor! The patio was also really nice to hang out with friends. Overall, this is a really fun place. We Will be back! read more

We live in the neighborhood and really hoped for them to have success after losing Kaleidoscope but now after 4 attempts spread out over several months, we won't waste another night out eating here. The food has been bad every time. We initially blamed it on being new and working out the menu but tonight a simple buffalo chicken wrap was messed up twice. I ordered without tomato and of course came with them. Probably should have just dealt with it...but I just really don't like the taste. The second one was just gross. Not fried chicken (or if it was it was unrecognizable) and just drowned in so much sauce it was falling apart when you picked it up. Fries were good at least. The servers are nice and try hard but spread too thin. Left empty plates and cups on the table for the duration of the visit. We gave it time and numerous chances. Absolutely would not recommend. read more

Upon my first visit this seems like a solid place to hang out and watch games. I had the $1 wings that they serve on Friday & Saturday. They definitely were good and did the job. My gf had the lemon drop martini & said it was better than your average martini. The service was good as well. I think this will end up being a solid addition to Dresden Drive. read more

Love this place! My wife and I have been here 3 times now--and will be back. Casual. Lots of TV's. Great deck (pet friendly. Well established place in Athens, GA and hope this outpost does well The food is really good and varies from sandwiches, salads, pizza, wings and steaks. We're working our way through the menu. Service has been good all three visits. Great games on the TV's. The name may make you think it's a steakhouse. They have steaks, but my advice is to frame it up as a something between great sports bar and casual steak place --and you'll be pleased. Great place!! read more

I joined a dozen friends last night for dinner at PorterHouse Grill and Pub on Dresden. We had a wide variety of menu items and everybody agreed the food was fantastic . Our server Kenzie really showed up strong to make sure we were taken care of and they had a Tuesday trivia night with "DJ Ace" and he was awesome. Turned a great dinner into a fun party. Hope to make this our regular Tuesday night spot. read more

Porterhouse Grill - Trivia night champs! - Steakhouses Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

I gave them 3 shots over a couple months, and I won't be going back. The food was pretty good, but the service was atrocious. When we sat outside it took 20 minutes before we were even acknowledged, and the service for the rest of the meal was incredibly slow. When we sat at the bar on a different night, the bartender seemed annoyed that we were there. The menu options and vibe are just very weird (one time there was DJ playing to any empty restaurant on a Tuesday night at 9:30). It's like the place doesn't know what it wants to be. We loved Kaleidoscope, and this is a prime spot, so it's a shame we didn't get something better. read more

My server Rafa forgot to put my pizza in yesterday and I sat there for 30 mins wondering where it is. Turns out he forgot to put it in and didn't even apologize. The lady working the window was working harder than him. Never did he come over and ask how the food was or give me napkins or any refills. I had to go through the bar for everything even tho I was at a table. Come to find out THERES AN AUTOMATIC 20% GRATUITY on whatever you get so he's getting paid the same regardless. The pizza was good not gonna lie the cooks did there thing and shoutout to the expo for helping out. read more

Greasy and disgusting. I would say "drink only," but the draft beer taps weren't working. You're better off picking up a six-pack and hitting the drive-thru at McDonalds. read more

Place is in the prime location in Brookhaven ... and everything about it is awful. Way overpriced menu, check. Bland, mushy food, check. Slow, inattentive servers, check. Sports bar ambiance with baby TVs, check. Won't be going back until they are a new establishment that better fits the neighborhood. read more

We always have the best experience at Porterhouse. Love the wide variety of menu options and everything we've tried is SOOO good. Always great service from Brittany and a great place to watch a game. read more

Won't go back. Saw a bartender berate a customer for closing out his tab and later ordering another drink. Was a mid-understanding, no doubt, but poor service standards. read more

this is actually for "Ace's Place". the service was terrible. we ordered 2 drinks and never received them. we never got any sauce for the food that we asked for. the owner was walking around drinking beer openly and sat at our table to talk to us while doing so which I did not appreciate. I called the restaurant 3 times before going and it went to voicemail. read more

I used to go to this restaurant when it was kaleidoscope and I was skeptical of the new porterhouse as the location in Athens, GA is known as an expensive steakhouse. I was very happy to see the menu was still very similar to a sports bar, but it does have some nicer items. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our food and drinks and will be going again. The $1 wings are Friday and Saturday is a fantastic deal! read more

I went to this restaurant yesterday with my friends. When we got seated, they table was covered in crumbs and was stick. My friend ended up cleaning it up. Next we ordered our drinks and there was no refills. We were waiting for over half an hour to order our food. We ordered a molten lava cake. We waited an another half hour for our food. In a matter of ten minutes we saw that our food was done at the kitchen. After about an half an hour later we got up and went to the kitchen and asked for our food. We also did not get silverware, so we had to ask for it as well. We also had to ask for the check. After we left, we called to speak with the manager we got told he was on break even after we waited for another hour to call again. I will never go here again on account for the horrible service and disrespect toward me and my friends. read more

Just awful. Bring back kaleidoscope. Weird vibe. It's a bar but they took out the TVs? Food was mid. Service was subpar even though there was nobody there. For the cost of rent here, can't see it lasting more than a year. read more

Long overdue review but I'm glad I waited! A good friend treated my 93 y/o mom and I to a birthday lunch here a few weeks ago; everything about the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and personable. Even better, however, was that my mom revisited the restaurant today and they remembered her. To me, food is secondary to atmosphere and good service. When you find a place that excels at both you should put it at the top of your 'go to' list. Thank you, Porterhouse Grill- we'll be back soon! read more

great food and service!! The atmosphere for games is awesome! can't wait to come back again. hopefully you get Brittany!
