Rocks on the River – Savannah, GA
As we were looking for a nice place for dinner, Jo was Facebooking with one of her friends about Savannah. I heard what was written and thought that her friend suggested that we eat at Rocks on the River (in the Grand Bohemian). I booked reservations and was feeling pretty good about myself. As we […]
Family Restaurant – Duluth, GA
One day, deciding that I wanted to eat something different for lunch, I ended up back at Family Restaurant. (I’d add a link to their website here, but they don’t seem to have one. They do have a Facebook page, here, which has had very little activity.) Located just next door to the grill at […]
Dinner’s Ready – Douglasville, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. For my birthday, my parents wanted to take us out for lunch. Looking for something convenient, and knowing their fondness for the place, we met at Dinner’s Ready. We’ve eaten there in the past, once or twice. It’s been okay. In my opinion, there is a considerable issue with the management. […]
J. Graham’s (the Brown Hotel) – Louisville, KY
On Oaks Day, we found ourselves downtown just in time for lunch. On all of my lists, the only food on any of them in Louisville itself was a “Hot Brown”. What better place to sample this local treat than in the hotel that bears its name. Originally created by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926, […]
Partridge Restaurant – Rome, GA
On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we drove up to Rome to attend an honor society induction and to have lunch with our daughter and her boyfriend. When you attempt to avoid chain restaurants in Rome, your choices are somewhat limited. We headed downtown to Broad Street, likely headed to Jefferson’s or Harvest Moon, when the […]
Paolo’s Gelato Italiano- Atlanta, GA
There was a summer about four or five years ago when nearly every visit to the city for a weekend dinner ended up with someone saying, “How about some gelato?” There would then be affirmation from the rest of the car and we’d head toward Virginia-Highlands and Paolo’s Gelato Italiano. We fell in love with […]
The Iberian Pig – Decatur, GA
Note: I’m not usually one for reading diner reviews before I go some place, but the sub-90% from Urbanspoon and the low stars in Open Table through up enough of a red flag that I did some investigation, making sure there wasn’t a “food issue”. You’ll see references to reviews below that I don’t usually […]
West Cobb Diner – Marietta, GA
When we called some friends and asked if they wanted to meet for dinner on Friday, they said that they were meeting another couple at West Cobb Diner and asked us to join them. We pulled it up on Google maps and realized that it was right at the corner of 120 and Barrett Parkway […]
Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen – Norcross, GA
I’ve been working in the Norcross / Duluth area for over 20 years. For many of those years, particularly those prior to the opening of the Forum on 141 and the Mall of Georgia, there was a dearth of “nice” restaurants for a business lunch. When they opened Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, (back in the early […]
White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails – Atlanta, GA
(A quick review): Looking for a place to meet a couple of folks for lunch in-town, I pulled up their work address on the map, zoomed in and checked out the restaurants in close proximity. White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails showed up. The name had been on my radar for a couple of months, so […]
