First, Lauren was our server and she was phenomenal! Took great care of us and paced the meal perfectly. Knew answers to every question and gave great recommendations. Atmosphere was more casual than a traditional steak house but I loved the charm... And they definitely aren't lacking in any area compared to other Atlanta steakhouses I've been to, this is now my favorite establishment. The oysters, meatballs, and tuna tartare were great starters. Steaks were all cooked perfectly and the bone marrow butter was a perfect compliment. Cream corn and twice baked potato were just right. I had two cocktails which were both perfectly balanced. Bramble smash was my favorite. I finished the meal with the bread budding which was the best of the 4 desserts on our table. Pineapple upside down cake was also very good. I highly recommend this spot and we will return.

Went here with a group of 10 for a family birthday brunch. The service was excellent! Everyone enjoyed their food. I felt that the lobster bisque was a little too salty, but the strawberry cheesecake was the freshest I've ever had, and the eggs benedict was pretty good, too. I had a bite of steak, and it was divine. Will be returning!

Spectacular dining experience! I was by myself, so I sat at the bar, and the 2 bartenders were engaging & so nice. The steak was one of the best I've ever had. They have a lovely selection of Port to cap off the meal.

Little Alley in Roswell, GA, is a shining example of steakhouse excellence, combining impeccable cuisine, expert service, and an inviting atmosphere for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a masterclass in balance, offering inventive dishes alongside timeless classics, all executed with precision and creativity. The food quality is superb. From the first bite to the last, each dish showcases exceptional ingredients and masterful preparation. Even the sides—often overlooked at other steakhouses—are treated with artistry, elevating them to standout features of the meal. The steak, of course, is the highlight. Always tender and flavorful, it is cooked to near-perfection, rivaling the finest steakhouses in the region. Adding to the experience is the restaurant’s elegant yet welcoming décor. The ambiance is refined but not pretentious, creating the perfect setting for a leisurely meal or a special occasion. Located in the heart of Downtown Roswell, Little Alley also benefits from its vibrant surroundings. After dinner, patrons can step out into a lively nightlife scene, with charming shops, bars, and entertainment options just a short stroll away. The service at Little Alley is equally noteworthy. The staff are polished, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and enhancing every aspect of the meal. In a city teeming with dining options, Little Alley sets itself apart as a true gem. Tied only with Kevin Rathbun’s Steakhouse in my personal rankings, it’s an essential destination for anyone who appreciates exceptional food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a prime location in one of Metro Atlanta’s most dynamic neighborhoods.

When your friends take you to a steakhouse but you out smart them and take advantage of known steak house overcompensation on fish. 😏 We were sat in the back so I had a prime view of everything—the chic decor, the bustling energy, and, of course, the impressive plates being served to each table. First, I had the tuna tartare. If you’ve ever thought tuna tartare might lack substance, think again. Each bite was of pure freshness, vibrant in color and flavor, almost silky. Next, I tried the shrimp served over crusty bread with a sauce that was absolute heaven. That sauce—a mix of buttery, garlicky goodness—soaked right into the bread. I don’t know if I liked the shrimp or bread more. For a side, I went with the asparagus. The asparagus was crispy just like I like it. Blasphemy is when asparagus is overcooked. Loved my visit to Little Alley Steakhouse and while our views on meat aren’t congruent, we found common ground on fish!

Phenomenal experience. Steak had a great outer crust and medium center just how I like it. Sean, our waiter, did a great job explaining everything and even surprised us with a birthday crème brûlée.

I’ll start by saying that reservations are definitely a must! But WOW! This was one of the best meals my husband and I have had in a while. Quite possibly the best steak I’ve ever had! The sides are made to share but they divide things into two to make it easier. We got a wedge salad and they delivered it already divided; same with the loaded baked potato. We sat outside and had the best time! Service was great, friendly and food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back!!!

Little Alley was recommended to me. I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday. I must say I wasn't impressed. The service was great and the waiter was pleasant but I've definitely had better meals/ steak at Peter luger and even Ruth Chris. My boyfriend's steak was under cooked, his loaded potato was warm, so he didn't really enjoy his birthday meal. The food was just average which it shouldn’t be based on the pricing, he had a ribeye ( that was under cooked) he requested, medium well, but it was medium. I had a chicken dish ( bell Evans ) I didn’t care for it, the sauce was not impressive. The chicken was juicy and tender, but it wasn’t seasoned. I did have the chop chop salad, which was good and mashed potatoes and green beans which were just average but the crème brûlée and bread pudding with vanilla gelato was good, we enjoyed our dessert more than our meal So I would say the best part of the night was the dessert. I truly felt that I was a waste of my money and time, now I have to search for another steakhouse, it has to be better than little Alley.
