 Whole Grains in Buckhead |
6000 North Terminal Parkway (Suite 371) Atlanta, GA 30320 United States +1 404 766 8345 http://www.atlantabread.com/ |
This terrific upscale cafe concept is a welcome addition to the Atlanta dining scene. Come for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a tasty pick-me-up. Patrons split themselves just about evenly between sit-down and take-out orders, but the dining area is pleasant, if also somewhat simply decorated. The restaurant offers hot entrees like quiches, pot pies, soups and designer pizzas in addition to delicious breads, pastries and desserts. The lunch soup menu is extensive, and the salads, sandwiches and fruit plates are popular. Review © 2007, Wcities |

3070 Piedmont Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 240 1978 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
Reminiscent of a Parisian cafe, this busy, well-appointed uptown bakery and cafe offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Voted "Atlanta's Best Breads and Pastries," the Buckhead Bread Company offerings are wonderful. Few can resist the warm, French baguettes made daily, or the extravagant array of dessert delicacies. A nice menu of sandwiches and salads are also available in the very casual dining area, as well as boxed meals for picnics. Catering service is available. No alcohol is served.

Killer Karaoke |
555 South Atlanta Street Atlanta, GA 30075 United States +1 770 642 6981 http://www.chaplinsroswell.com |
A local favorite since 1988, this Roswell stronghold has good food, a super house brew and friendly servers. Fun and "picnic table" casual, the large heated deck is in high demand by families and singles alike during fair weather. If you're the musical type, stop by for sing along karaoke on Saturday nights with the house DJ, or catch the big game on Chaplin's giant big-screen. All-American choices dominate the menu, like ribeye and New York strip steaks, fried shrimp and charbroiled grouper, and plenty of munchies. It also offers a full bar service. See website for full menu and karaoke competition information and photos. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Delicious Desserts |
3024 Peachtree Road NW Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 816 2555 http://www.thecheesecakefactor... |
The Atlanta branch of this growing national franchise is known for great food, but also for big crowds and long waits. The restaurant is big and airy, done up in terra-cotta with art deco accents. Come early or stand in line for the Cheesecake Factory's many culinary delights, which include American, Tex-Mex, Thai and Italian selections. The Firecracker Salmon Roll and shepherd's pie are consistent favorites, and the renowned breakfast menu is available all day. Of course, you'll want to try the cheesecake, too, which comes in nearly 100 varieties. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Midtown's Best Box Lunches |
600 Ponce de Leon Ave Atlanta, GA 30308 United States +1 404 888 9149 |
This cafeteria-style Midtown eatery is easy to spot from the street; it closely resembles a white box. The atmosphere inside isn't much more extravagant, resembling a school lunch room, but the largely college-aged lunch and dinner crowds don't seem to mind. There's plenty to choose from as you fill your tray. Fresh meats, pastas and salads can be grilled or arranged to order, or choose from a wide range of vegetarian alternatives. Try the jerk chicken or cheese tortellini with marinara sauce. Beer and wine available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rock the Menu |
215 Peachtree St Atlanta, GA 30303 United States +1 404 688 7625 http://www.hardrock.com |
Whether Elvis gyrates or Madonna vamps on the screen overhead, the overwhelming musical theme at this popular restaurant is balanced by an interesting and filling mix of menu items. With choices ranging from large-portion nachos to Southern servings of pot roast surrounded by garlic mashed potatoes, you won't leave hungry. The wait staff, disguised in 1950s-style garb, brings a sense of fun to every table. Watch closely as you peruse the gift shop on your way out: you just might see an actual celebrity.

More than just flapjacks |
2741 Clairmont Road Atlanta, GA 30329 United States +1 404 633 1889 http://www.ihop.com |
This popular chain serves breakfast 24 hours a day, but don't let the name fool you. An exhaustive menu includes all your typical American dinner favorites. Rather akin to a Denny's, IHOP is a nice step up from the Waffle Houses that seem to haunt every highway exit in the South. The food is reliable, fast, and pretty good. Most entrees range from $5-8, including hearty dinner platters, a great burger, sandwich and salad selection, and more breakfast options than you can shake a stick at. No alcohol.

Cheap Eats |
2337 Peachtree Road Northeast Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 233 9244 |
This Buckhead joint provides filling Mexican fare at reasonable prices, making it a very popular lunch spot for the working set and a great family dinner choice. Lively background music sets the scene for a festive dining room, where south-of-the-border decor prevails. The tortillas are made from scratch, and are routinely filled with beef, chicken, and some more exotic combinations. Icy beer and an adequate selection of wine is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Open All Night |
1812 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30309 United States +1 404 872 2942 http://rthomasdeluxegrill.com |
This airy late night cafe offers a casual respite for those with midnight hunger pangs. Just look for the pastel-colored suit of armor on the roof. The patio garden provides a somewhat exotic setting where patrons sample the healthy menu in the company of live parrots and cockatoos. The menu is heavily vegetarian, and includes many vegan-friendly selections. Smoothies and other health drinks are also popular with the regulars. Smoking, while infrequent, is permitted, and beer and wine is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Late-night Latte |
553 Amsterdam Avenue (in the Midtown Outlets) Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 874 7828 http://www.redlightcafe.com |
This cafe is a good Midtown spot for a late-night coffee or an after-dinner drink. The warehouse ambiance comes into its full neglected glory here, with exposed pipes overhead and ragged tables to rest your elbows on. A few well-picked oil paintings line the walls for that extra artsy feel. A small stage near the door spotlights local musicians in styles ranging from folk to bluegrass to jazz. A limited menu is available, along with a full-service bar in the back. Great coffee and drinks are served, as well as some wine. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Slices at easy prices |
484 Moreland Avenue Atlanta, GA 30307 United States +1 404 523 0500 http://www.savagepizza.com |
Just what you'd expect in a University town, pizza with style. The servers boast tattoos and various piercings, which suits this colorful, artistic pizzeria in the heart of Little Five Points. The oil painting of James Dean is an interesting addition to the brightly-painted dining area, and the loud rock music completes an ambiance you won't find at any Pizza Hut. Pies cost about $10. Veggie lovers should try the white on white, a monstrous feast of multiple cheeses. Beer and wine served, inside and on the small patio. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bring the Kids |
1895 Piedmont Avenue Northeast (near Cheshire Bridge Road) Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 874 6152 http://www.tacocabana.com |
This festive all-Mexican eatery seats about 100 (indoor or out), but still gets pretty crowded during weekend meal hours. In fact, it's especially popular with the younger crowd because the prices are incredibly set for the budget-minded. Breakfast, lunch or dinner will only set you back about $5. Taco Cabana has your Mexican fix covered, whatever your preference. Don't miss the enormous enchilada menu, which has more varieties than you can imagine. Beer and wine only. See website for menus and other locations. Review © 2007, Wcities |
