Revolution Doughnuts & Coffee – Decatur, GA
Revolution Doughnuts and Coffee just turned two on National Doughnut Day, according to the “Happy Second Birthday to Us” banner in the restaurant, and we just made it there? Seriously? One of my buddies has been talking about them for months. Maybe more than a year, but we never seemed to be in Decatur before […]
Sun In My Belly – Decatur, GA
Looking for a dinner choice for Friday night, it really boiled down to the confluence of the answers to two questions: 1) What sounds good?; and 2) Where can we get a reservation? When I saw Sun In My Belly appear as a choice on OpenTable, I clicked on the first time slot that we […]
Burnt Fork BBQ – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had eaten at Burnt Fork BBQ previously, a couple of years ago with some friends, but never got around to posting a review. Tonight, when heading towards Decatur (originally with another destination in mind, but being delayed by traffic) I realized where I was and ran in to grab some […]
Pallookaville Fine Foods – Avondale Estates, GA
I’ll have to confess that when I told my wife we were going to a place for dinner that specialized in corndogs, I had a bit of a hard sell. And when I called another couple and said, “hey, y’all want to join us for dinner? We’re going to get some corndogs”, the question was […]
Big Tex Decatur – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I’ve been intending to eat at Big Tex Decatur, a sister restaurant to Fox Brothers barbecue, for several months. But it always seemed that when I was in Decatur, I was on the way somewhere else. When I saw them mentioned in a Tweet from @foxbrosbarbq yesterday, I made a determination […]
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 […]
No. 246 – Decatur, GA
Since July of last year, a lot of the local buzz has been about No. 246, the new offering from Ford Fry (from JCT) and Drew Belline (former chef de cuisine of Floataway Cafe). It quickly became the new “it” restaurant and when I read that they didn’t accept reservations, I figured that we wouldn’t […]
Boardwalk Burgers – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. While heading to a Thursday night jam down at the Red Light Cafe, I noticed a new burger place had opened in Ansley Mall – Boardwalk Burgers. It turns out that it is a new franchise location for which, according to the sign on the wall and their web site, the […]
Cakes and Ale – Decatur, GA
In the continuing pursuit of Atlanta’s best restaurants, we went to Cakes and Ale in Decatur, #3 from the August, 2011 Atlanta Magazine article. Cakes and Ale has recently relocated just down from the Iberian Pig in Decatur. In fact, when I first called to make the reservation, they were closed for the move. So […]
