Atlanta Cookie Bomb

Want to try a Bomb Biscuit? Inman Park gem Bomb Biscuit Atlanta is a must-try if you’re craving a flaky, buttery treat to add to your brunch. You can choose from a full breakfast and brunch menu, where choices range from baked goods like cinnamon rolls to hearty breakfast sandwiches and brunch plates. Many love the hot honey fried chicken biscuit. Bite into crispy fried chicken topped with a house-made hot honey sauce and perched atop a warm, buttery biscuit. If you have a sweet tooth, try B’onuts, small buttermilk biscuits fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar.

Fred’s Meat and Bread

A walk in the new Krog district has become a favorite pastime for locals and visitors. Work up an appetite and enjoy classic sandwiches and hard-to-put-down hand-cut fries. Many call the burger “impeccable”. Wash it all down with an old-fashioned soda.

Fishmonger

This trendy restaurant has become a magnet for seafood lovers. As you enter the West Midtown neighborhood, you’ll notice chic decor and an open atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Nothing beats tasting a dozen fresh oysters on the side terrace with an innovative cocktail chosen from a menu that changes seasonally. Stay cool with the mai tai cocktail if you’re a fan of Jamaican rums, banana, cherry peel and vanilla.

Pizza Antico

Looking for a good pizza place to impress your pizza snob friends? Antico Pizza has become a hub for diners seeking authentic Italian flavors. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a casual dinner with family or to satisfy a late-night craving with friends. Try the Diavola pie if you’re looking for something different and enjoy spicy salami, Calabrian peppers, mozzarella and garlic. You can’t go wrong with the classic Margherita DOP tart.

Busy Bee Cafe

Busy Bee Cafe has been a part of Atlanta history since 1947. This famous restaurant has fed notable icons such as Martin Luther King Jr., OutKast, and President Obama. Many dine here for delicious soul food platters with fried chicken and smothered pork chops that you won’t soon forget. The fried chicken and waffles make this a perfect breakfast stop. Although Busy Bee only offers takeout orders, the meals are perfect for enjoying at one of the nearby parks.

Arepa Mia

Spending your morning exploring can’t be done without treating yourself to a snack. Arepa Mia is the perfect stop to hold you over until lunch. Try a Venezuelan bite. Arepas are the perfect size if you’re looking for something to take on the go. Try pollo la catira if you’re a fan of shredded chicken or vegetarian for a meat-free option.

Heirloom Market Barbecue

Treat your taste buds to mixed Asian barbecue flavors at Heirloom Market BBQ. Korean marinades and spices pair perfectly with slow-cooked Southern barbecue. Choose from a menu featuring brisket, pork options, turkey breast and shredded chicken. Prepare to get messy with a rack of ribs or some sweet, smoky wings.

Banshee

Banshee serves New American cuisine with a cocktail bar that includes an eclectic wine list. Fry bread is the perfect way to start your dinner before getting lost in the menu of delicious options. Not only can you enjoy a great dinner, but you can also have fun in the evening as the bar plays music after hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
