Nowak's- Sandy Springs

We came here for our annual twins birthday dinner and I was very impressed. Nowak's is tucked away in a strip mall and although it's not an ideal location, the interior and food make up for it.Food was delicious and service was great and informative about their specials and what their favorites.I now have to take my girlfriend back since she saw all the pics I posted on my IG story.

Great food and service. French onion soup and Porterhouse steak were delicious. Will definitely be back. Don't be turned off by the odd location.

We ended up at this location due to the Morningside location being closed for the Fourth of July holiday. It's located in a shopping center in Sandy Springs. We had a party of 6 to celebrate a birthday and were seated promptly upon arrival. My drink of choice was a sidecar. It was delectable! I'm still dreaming of the Nowak's shrimp appetizer. It's made in the New Orleans bbq shrimp style and it's amazing. My filet was cooked perfectly. Their truffle fries are really good as well. The service was great throughout the evening and we enjoyed ourselves.

The service could not have been better. Our server was a wealth of information. However we were extremely disappointed in the actual food. Our Cowboy steak was way too fatty. The bolognese dish and the mushrooms were over salted by a measure of 50%. The mashed potatoes were mediocre at best. We passed on the dessert menu. We live within a mile + of Nowak's and were really hoping to make it our "go to" neighborhood restaurant.

My wife and I ate at Nowak's for the first time last night (10/5/2023). I expect to be back many times if our experiences continue to be like last night. Nowak''s is located in a strip center with LA Fitness at the corner of Abernathy and Roswell Rd. It occupies what used to be Canton Cooks II. Kind of an unusual spot for a quality steak house. Tons of parking so no valet needed like the majority of high end steak places. The ambiance is also not your typical dark steak place with wood paneling and jazz music. It is much brighter and open and the music playing was often Jam Bands like Widespread Panic, Phish, and Grateful Dead. Very unique and a welcome change (even though I am not a 420 Jam Band type). It was a Thursday night so I expected more of a crowd, but it was kind of quiet. We sat at the bar as that is usually our preference for a weeknight date night. Brian our bartender was extremely attentive. He said he had only been there a few days, but you wouldn't know it had he not mentioned it. Upon his recommendation we ordered the Shrimp Nowak appetizer. It was absolutely awesome. It is about 6 healthy sized shrimp in a creole style sauce served with perfectly light on the inside French bread. Total winner!!!!We ordered the 8oz Filet which comes with a side (also unusual for a steak house). We decided on the cream spinach. Oh my!!!! The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare with a perfectly seasoned crust. The spinach was also awesome. We completely devoured our meal. The steak was seriously about as good as I have had in Atlanta. Yes...I'll even put it in the conversation with Chops (my personal #1). Kaiser's down the street used to be my go to local (Sandy Springs) favorite, but if Nowak is consistently this good I will be a convert. Based on how relatively not busy it was, I am a little worried about their sustainability. I guess the word has not gotten out yet, so please give it a shot and if you agree it is nearly as good as I am saying, spread the word.

Delicious food and solid service. This is probably the best French onion soup I've ever had and will come here to enjoy it again. The ambience is a little strange since it's in a strip mall and doesn't really exude an upscale experience, but the food and service does the trick. I'll be back! Steaks are reminiscent to "Hal's" as I understand there is a familial connection and it shows!

We didn't stay so no idea on the food. The venue is odd, greeted at the door by a waiter in a dirty tshirt, limited menu in my opinion. The menu did not match the website and we wanted a 12 oz. Filet, we decided to go to Flemming. Won't go back to Nowak's.

Came here based on reviews, what a big mistake that was. No way are these 5 star reviews legit.Vibe? What vibe, the place sandwiched somewhere in a strip mall, resembled more like a cheap cafeteria . Stark white walls and apoxy white floors, with cheap leather chairs. The staff looked like former employees of Golden Coral and the food was even worse. First of way over priced for a Sandy springs strip mall cafeteria. You can literally go to any actual steakhouse with an ambience and amazing food and pay the same. Food was borderline edible. Everything was way over salted , everything. Their remoulade shrimp and crab for $38! Was small shrimp with some fishy crab drenched in sauces . Their creamed spinach was pretty much a bowl of cream sprinkled with spinach pieces in there, fries way over cooked and over salted. The steak was requested medium rare, came out just burned and over cooked on the outside and a raw strip on the inside. How do you mess up a steak at a steakhouse . Do yourselves a favor and go somewhere else

First and foremost, I love the decor and feel of this tucked away gem. The food was exceptional, and not just the steaks. We had 4 courses, ending with the best desserts I've ever had! Our server was outstanding as well. He was very attentive but not intrusive. This is my new go to spot for an exceptional dining experience in Sandy Springs. A must try!

The filet was incredible! Had the mash and creamed spinach. Both great as well. Will definitely be coming back. The owner Blaze Nowak was there and he and his mother are really nice people. Hope everyone tries this place. The bartender Brian was great as well.
