Owens and Hull at Grand Champion – Smyrna, GA
This restaurant does not accept cash. Earlier in the week, I saw an article in Eater Atlanta about a new barbecue place that had opened on the west side, Owens and Hull, and thought to myself, I’ll have to try that soon. I had actually thought about driving over one day for lunch, from […]
TDT BBQ – Mableton, GA (Photo Blog Post)
For the second time in the last six weeks, I saw a reference to TDT Barbecue in an on line article (this one from Eater.com about the best gas station food in Atlanta.) New Year’s Eve was the day to give it a try. As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I […]
Scott’s Eats and Sweets – Mableton, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. There was a recent Yelp email about the best pho places outside the perimeter (off Buford Highway) and I was shocked (SHOCKED, I say) that one of them was in Mableton. So tonight, when we were looking for a place to eat, and didn’t want to drive into “the City”, I suggested […]
Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno – Austell, GA
Earlier this year, I spent quite a few evenings in the Austell area. Several times I drove by Karina Restaurante Salvadoreno, at the corner of Hicks and Austell Roads. and thought, “I wonder what that place’s food is like?” As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the […]
Mu’s Hot Chicken – Austell, GA
Open 16 months, and named after her daughter’s grandmother, Mu’s Chicken is a spot that has eluded me for the last two months. I walked in the door and asked “this isn’t Nashville hot chicken, is it?” “yes, it is.” “Hot damn.” You’ll wait 15 minutes for your chicken, which they cook fresh to order. […]
Casa Grande – Austell, GA
For the last several months, I had noticed Casa Grande Bar and Grill in front of the theatre at the intersection of East-West Connector and Powder Springs Road. It always seemed to be busy, but I figured it was just another Mexican restaurant. On this Sunday afternoon, we decided to give it a try. The […]
Johnny’s – Powder Springs, GA
Johnny’s Steaks and Barbecue has been in Powder Springs longer than we have (twenty eight years, for us), and we haven’t eaten there, ever, that I recall. They went through a period when they weren’t open and then they were open only on weekends. But they now seem to be open most every day, in […]
Mr. D’s Hickory Smoked Barbeque With Soul – Austell, GA
Mr. D’s Hickory Smoked Barbecue With Soul was not my original dinner destination. I was originally headed to the Sweetwater Inn, a place that I had driven by for the past thirty-two years and yet had never stopped. I was determined to not let another birthday pass without knocking this one off my list. The […]
