1. Busy Bee Cafe
When some out of towners were looking for a spot for solid fried chicken, I knew this was the place. Located right around the corner from Clark Atlanta University, Busy Bee is known for no frills soul food.
We were quickly greeted and perused the…More »
2. South City Kitchen Midtown
Yes, the fried chicken is still awesome. But if you're looking for something different, go with the pork chop. Swine perfection... with sweet potatoes. This is why I love the South.
Also, while I wouldn't recommend this as a spot to bring little ones…More »

I love this place: dinner, lunch, whatever, it's all divine. Definitely my favorite upscale Southern… Read more »
3. Food 101
Food 101 is a consistently solid option. They've got a great mix of Southern specialties (fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, low country boil) mixed with other American options.
On my last visit I went with the Kobe beef burger and was not…More »
4. Horseradish Grill
Atlanta, GA 30342
(404) 255-7277
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (Traditional)
No doubt, Horseradish is still a strong Southern food staple. Always great service, always a lovely atmosphere, there's really not much to complain about. While I'd recommend it if you're in the area (it's really the only decent place in the 'hood) I…More »

My parents moved in town, so this has become to new local eatery. I've got to say it's a serious… Read more »
5. Sam's BBQ1
As this BBQ joint is a mere half-mile from my parent's house, we like it.... A LOT. The pulled pork is divine as well as the brisket and everyone who works there is really friendly. They're open really weird hours, so be sure to call in advance. I…More »
6. 82 Queen
If you've only got a few hours and want to experience Charleston, head to 82 Queen. It's right in the heart of the historic district and has a beautiful garden in addition to several private dining rooms.
Luckily the food matches the incredible…More »
7. Tristan Restaurant
Charleston, SC 29401

American (Traditional),

I experienced Tristan in three different ways over my sister's wedding weekend (sorry if that sounds dirty to you-- get your mind out of the gutter!).
1: My mom and I had lunch here upon our arrival to Charleston. It was a quick walk from our hotel…More »
8. Provisions To Go
Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 365-0410
Category:
Food
Neighbourhood: Westside / Home Park
I've spent every summer of my life in coastal South Carolina which has led me to become a serious shrimp snob. I'm typically not one to order it more than a few miles from the coast, as it seems to never be up to par.
Lucky for those of us in this…More »
9. Mary Mac's Tea Room
Mary Mac's isn't "southern style" or "upscale Southern cuisine" it is The South, through and through.
Is the food the best you'll find it the city? Sure isn't, but you'll be hard pressed to find a more charming, welcoming, wonderful place. This, my…More »
10. Eats
Atlanta, GA 30308
(404) 888-9149
I walked in and quickly realized I weighed about 100 lbs less than the rest of the clientele. And yeah, I'm no skinny Minnie-- these were some serious eaters.
Although the pasta was tempting, I decided on the lemon pepper chicken with green beans and…More »
11. Rib Country
Nice... almost too nice. I wanted my north GA barbeque experience to be in some ramshackle building complete with pictures of the biggest pigs they've slaughtered. Okay, not quite, as I've already had that experience a few too many times, but I at…More »
12. Dogwood Restaurant - CLOSED
Around 5pm today, a feeling of death hit me like a ton of bricks. I had a severe headache, was feverish, and would have waves of nausea take over me whenever I moved too fast, drank water, or did much of anything. As awful as this feeling was, I was…More »
13. Colonnade Restaurant
Atlanta, GA 30324
(404) 874-5642
Categories:
Southern,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Morningside / Lenox Park
Yes, the Colonnade lacks a lot of things: updated décor, healthy eats, and the ability to use those new fangled things called credit cards. If you're under the age of 65 you'll likely be the youngest patron, and as such you may get some looks from…More »
14. Watershed - CLOSED
Decatur, GA 30030

Categories:
American (New),
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Decatur
I may or may not currently have Watershed's website open so I can listen to the Indigo Girls. Just throwin' that out there.
The atmosphere at this lovely little spot was more casual than I had expected, but I think that's in part due to the light…More »
15. JCT Kitchen & Bar
Atlanta, GA 30318
(404) 355-2252
Category:
Southern
Neighbourhood: Westside / Home Park
While JCT still isn't anywhere on my list of favorite ATL restaurants, I did want to comment that I do feel like service has improved. On a recent lunch our server was great and our salads arrived relatively quickly, so it was a fine experience.
The…More »

16. Sgt White's Restaurant
If you, by chance, ever find yourself in Beaufort SC and hungry, Sgt White's is worth a stop. It is, by definition, what all those newfangled trendy BBQ shacks are trying to be but fail so miserably.
Sgt. White's has straight up character. Sgt. White…More »
17. Fryed Green Tomatoes
Fryed Green Tomatoes, along with the obnoxious spelling of its name, is on of the newest spots to open in Beaufort. They serve breakfast and lunch southern style. Salads, meat and three, eggs benedict, omelettes, po boys, and of course, fried green…More »
18. Sauced
Atlanta, GA 30307
(404) 688-6554
Categories:
American (New),
Southern
Neighbourhood: Inman Park
If I had the prowess to open my own restaurant, I'm pretty sure it'd look a hell of a lot like Sauced. First of all, the neighborhood. Maybe I'm a bit (okay, a LOT) biased, but this is the perfect fit. Then, the fun retro decor and vibe without…More »
19. Wife Saver
Ehhh, I don't know if I get it. This place is heralded near and far for fantastic fried eats, and my meal was just lackluster. Admittedly (and this is why 3 stars rather than 2), we took the food home and reheated it a few hours later before diving…More »
20. Waffle House
Atlanta, GA 30308
(404) 872-0028
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Diners
Neighbourhood: Midtown
Like most intown Atlantans, I was absolutely thrilled at the prospect of my beloved Waffle House setting up shop in the heart of Midtown. Given that this is their home turf, I'm really surprised there aren't more locations intown, as heading up to…More »
21. Fox Bros Bar-B-Q
I live two blocks away from Fox Bros which means I quite often open my front door and immediately breathe in the delicious scent of smoking meat. This is both a blessing and a curse, trust me.
Due to my proximity, I eat a fair share of awesome BBQ,…More »
22. Empire State South
I know they're new, and I know I haven't been in for dinner, but I'm just really not as jazzed about this spot as others seem to be. Maybe the new chef change-ups have had an effect already, not sure.
I first came for lunch and ordered up a bowl of…More »
23. Fickle Pickle
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people mock the almighty Southern accent, because goshdangit we don't all sound like hicks. There's something about a perfect lilting voice that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, no matter if it reminds me…More »

Precious. Just precious. Within moments of entering I was greeted by a smiling toddler and other friendly folks and couldn't help but be in a good mood despite the dreariness outside.
I settled in to a table, looked around at the diverse clientele,…More »
