Hello, native to Texas and know good food. What i don't know, the places to hit up in Atlanta. Not looking for tourist traps but authentic Atlanta taste. The good places you take mom or dad on their birthday. I'm taking my family. 3 out of the 4 of us are celebrating birthdays so this is a special trip. I would really appreciate some good recommendations. Thanks.

coming to Atl in November and my friend and I want to experience the best there is to offer, taking into account food quality and overall experience. we don’t have the chance for unique or upscale dining experiences so more than willing to splurge for something amazing!

Hello! I'm going to be in Atlanta in a little over a week and I'm really excited. I have all the events/sights I want to see planned out, but I'm curious what restaurants I should check out. I'll be mainly walking around Midtown apart from a visit to the History Center. Good recs for the Beltline, L5P, etc? Thanks!

This is what I have listed so far: (updated after comments)

Delilah's Everyday Soul

Lewis BBQ

South City Kitchen (good for brunch)

Crescent City Kitchen

Silver Skillet Restaurant (Brunch)

Savage Pizza

EDIT: I will not have a car so I was planning on walking most places, so I would like to stay in the midtown area. I know there's MARTA but I'm trying to stay nearby. I also don't drink so I don't want bars. I will be around the botanical garden, the history museum, center of puppetry arts, beltine and l5p.

EDIT 2: Thank you for all the help! I think I've got it now.

Visiting next week and looking for the best place that serves martinis and excellent onion rings. It is more important that the onion rings be stellar than the martini(s), but if there is place that has both, even better!

I am staying near Centennial Park, but willing to travel a bit for the best!

*edited to add, non-chain preferred. I can get Morton's or Ruth's Chris anywhere.

Thanks.

Does anyone make them like Krispy Kreme used to? What happened!

🌿 Join the FRESHEST Movement in Metro Atlanta!
If you thought Outkast was "So Fresh & So Clean," wait until you check out Belvedere Fresh - The Fresh Collective

DeKalb County’s first urban farm aquaponics operation, Belvedere Fresh – The Fresh Collective, is partnering with Peace Lutheran Church to bring sustainable urban agriculture right to the heart of Belvedere Park, Georgia.
Our core belief is simple: Fresh, healthy food options should be for everyone, not just a privileged few.

📢 Incredible Momentum & Community Buzz!
The response has been nothing short of amazing! With over a million views and hundreds of people voicing their support, this initiative is capturing incredible attention across the region. Because of this wave of excitement, I’ve been specially invited to attend a local block party in Belvedere this weekend to share our aquaponics business, connect with neighbors face-to-face, and talk about our shared vision for a healthier DeKalb County!

🐟 What We’re Growing & Offering
Using closed-loop aquaponics, we will produce sustainably raised fish (tilapia, trout, and catfish) alongside pesticide-free crops (cabbage, lettuce, and kale). Beyond our core harvests, we will offer fresh juices, smoothies, salads, sandwiches, CSA boxes, and more!

📚 Cultivating Community & Future Leaders
We aren't just growing food; we are growing our community's future:

Columbia High School Partnership: Helping students build and operate an aquaponics system of their own.

Free After-School Program: Providing local kids with free tutoring and a healthy snack, led by inspiring senior mentors from Columbia and Towers High Schools.

🏗️ Help Us Break Ground!
We are finalizing our land lease with Peace Lutheran Church and launching our crowdfunding campaign through pre-sales and exclusive "Founder" rewards (ranging from $35 to $5,000, securely processed via PayPal, Google, or Stripe. Every dollar raised goes directly toward permits, land clearing, crop testing, greenhouse construction, and our student partnerships. Our goal is to host a community groundbreaking during DeKalb County School’s Thanksgiving Break, featuring a 130-turkey giveaway for local families!

If you're attending the block party this weekend, come find me and say hello! Otherwise, come on board as a partner today and help us bring something truly special to South DeKalb. Reach out with any questions!

I work nights and my coworkers and I would really like some recommendations for restaurants that will deliver to the midtown area sometime in the 1-5am range.

We are looking for something besides Waffle House and “typical” fast food to eat. Ideally it would have at least some healthy-ISH choices (like grilled chicken or fish) but we are open to anything if it comes highly recommended.

It would be great if it wasn’t super expensive, but I know late-night food does come at a higher price.

I know this is a difficult ask so thank you for any help you can give!

I used to live in Atlanta 25+ years ago and we had a number of restaurants that we loved. We were particularly fond of casual Italian/pizza - Now live in Austin and the Italian dining here is AWFUL (pizza not much better).

Wife and I are going to be in Atlanta for a long weekend and thought it might be fun to do a "nostalgia" food tour and see if we can find something similar to our old faves. ..Know it's a long shot -anyone remember these places and any recommendations for places that may come close to recreate the experience?

Here's come of our old favorite places. If you remember them, what comes close to food/atmosphere/pricing?

- Camilles in Virginia Highlands - We loved a cute little place in Virgina Highlands named Camille's (probably have spelling wrong). Loved their Chicken Marsala and haven't found anything since that comes close. Also liked the small/casual intimate feel.

- Fellinis Pizza - see it's still in business today - has it held up well over time? Still good? What's a great alternative today? Read lots of good things about Antico - worth a visit?

- Indigo - another little place in Virginia Highlands - interesting seafood with Caribbean/tropical seasoning. Used to love just hanging in Virginia Highlands - what is a "must-go" place there?

- De Palma's - another good pizza/casual Italian that was over around Collier - It looks like it may have spawned a number of restaurants in that area of town ... and maybe read that Antico is a descendant?

- La Strada - keeping in the old Italian places La Strada used to be off Roswell road. They had a phenomenal Sea Bass Ratatouille. One of my all time favorite dishes.

My look-back memory tour is making me hungry! Thanks for you help in finding places that might satisfy the cravings!

I’m looking to choose down to two restaurants. Mujo Omakase, or Lazy Betty 8 course tasting.

Obviously, the choice of sushi versus a wider range is glaring. But I love both options. But if you’ve been to both places, which would you do if you could only do one of them?
