Eating out in Atlanta
Southern food has a global reputation for being delicious, so here are some recommendations so that you can see the best of Atlanta’s restaurants.
Gunshow is a unique and innovative restaurant that brings you a creative dish to see if it takes your fancy. If not, more will be on the way! Although not a destination for groups with a tight budget, it is an exciting and new way to indulge for your dinner.
Southern food is all about barbecue, and Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q is a great way to tuck in. A dream come true for all meat lovers, you can even purchase their tasty sauces and rubs to help make your own barbecue even better. Try the slow-roast ribs and pulled pork.
Heirloom Market is an affordable go-to for this amazing Korean BBQ fusion food. Insanely popular, it isn’t always the easiest place to go to, with little seating and a hectic parking situation, the food is worth it – the best might just be the Korean pulled pork sandwich, spicy and fresh.
For a fully authentic experience of Atlanta’s food, and to see a restaurant that has drawn the likes of presidents, sporting legends and actors in droves, alongside locals that have declared it to be an institution of the city, head to Busy Bee. Their fried chicken is truly food for the soul.
Meat may be a staple of many Atlanta restaurants, but there are great vegetarian and vegan choices as well. Herban Fix is a vegan kitchen with bright décor and a fusion menu that is bold and delicious. Enjoy the brunch buffet or go for dinner and taste the curried rice noodles.
