Chicago native, moved here in 2011, have only found one restaurant in our area, so far, that is really worth repeat trips for steaks and sides that are delicious: Stoney Creek Steak House, I think it's in John's Creek.  (I hope I got the name right) When you grow up in Chicago, you grow up surrounded by the best food in the country!  Southerners don't know what they are missing!
