McKendrick’s Steak House, one of Atlanta’s most celebrated steakhouses & fine dining destinations, is marking a major milestone this season — 30 years of serving the city’s finest steaks, seafood, and hospitality. To celebrate, the restaurant is rolling out a new fall menu inspired by the season and welcoming guests to make holiday reservations, including a special Thanksgiving dinner featuring both steakhouse classics and traditional favorites.

Since first opening its doors in 1995, McKendrick’s has been consistently rated by patrons and critics as one of the finest steakhouses in the country. Guests come for the best steaks in Atlanta but return for the warm hospitality, attentive service, and memorable atmosphere that have made McKendrick’s a staple in the city’s dining scene for three decades.

Located at Park Place in the heart of Dunwoody’s bustling Perimeter Center business and shopping district, McKendrick’s continues to be the place where Atlanta gathers for business dinners, celebrations, and family milestones. The restaurant’s menu proudly features the finest USDA Prime Beef, South African lobster tails, and the freshest seafood delivered daily, all in support of its long-standing commitment to quality and excellence.

This fall, McKendrick's culinary team introduces a new seasonal menu that captures the spirit of autumn while staying true to the restaurant’s signature sophistication.

Seasonal highlights include:

  • Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini – Espresso vodka, Kahlua, fresh espresso, and house-made pumpkin spice syrup.
  • Fire and Honey Margarita – Herradura tequila, hot honey, fresh apple juice, cinnamon sugar, and dried apple.
  • Sesame Seared Tuna – Served with sautéed spinach and peppers in a soy sake broth.
  • Roasted Butternut Squash – Finished with sage and brown butter for a rich, seasonal flavor.

“What I love most about the new fall menu is how it captures the essence of the season without losing the classic McKendrick’s touch,” said Anthony Casiello, Operating Partner. “Each dish tells a story, whether it’s a familiar flavor given a fresh spin or something entirely new that surprises the palate. It’s a menu designed to bring people together and create memorable experiences.”

As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, McKendrick’s will host a series of special events, guest dinners, and community moments throughout 2025–2026, honoring the legacy that Doug and Claudia McKendrick built three decades ago.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since we first opened our doors,” said Claudia McKendrick, Co-Founder of McKendrick’s Steak House. “From the start, our goal was to create a place where people could gather, celebrate, and enjoy great food together. Looking back, it’s incredible to see how many friendships, families, and memories have been made here. This milestone is really about the community that has supported us — and the dedicated team, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, whose commitment to excellence and genuine hospitality make McKendrick’s what it is. We’re proud of what we’ve built and look forward to creating those same memories for another 30 years to come.”

This fall, guests are encouraged to book early for the holiday season, including Thanksgiving dinner, where McKendrick’s will serve signature steakhouse dishes alongside seasonal must-haves like golden slow-roasted turkey, classic sides, and house-made desserts — perfect for those who want to enjoy the holidays without lifting a finger.
