Iron Horse Station – Villa Rica, GA
Sitting on the couch, indecisive about dinner, I threw out two choices, each of which were received with equal indifference. So we headed west, originally considering a visit to J&W BBQ, but not wanting to fight the construction traffic on I-20. We ended up, instead, at Iron Horse Station, in a building we had eaten […]
Currylicious – Duluth, GA
I first noticed Currylicious a little over three months ago when I visited Mama’s Paradise and saw the “Opening Soon” sign. The catchy name, along with the “Homestyle Indian Cooking” tagline intrigued me. Our initial visit was on a Friday, the day after they opened and they were slammed. They have an introductory price on […]
Cinco Mexican Cantina – Suwanee, GA
It was an unusual lonewolf Monday as I set out for lunch today. On most Mondays I have at least someone else in the office to dine with. So I headed up towards Suwanee looking to see what I might find. I found Cinco Mexican Cantina (part of a local four location chain in North […]
Folk Art – Atlanta, GA
I understand not taking reservations. – sometimes people don’t show up and you end up with empty tables. It’s purely a restaurant’s prerogative. But, if you don’t take reservations, at least be accurate in your estimated wait times. Don’t make me wait two to three times as long (45 minutes) as you tell me (15 […]
Golden Seven – Duluth, GA
When you walk into an Asian restaurant and the Asian patronage percentage is less than 8%, that’s never the best sign about the authenticity of the food. And when the signage on the street advertises it as a Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean Asian Grill, you wonder if it’s a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none kind of place. But, what […]
Varasano’s Pizzeria – Atlanta, GA
When we were looking for a place to have lunch on Good Friday, Jo told me to find a place that I was interested in trying. Varasano’s Pizzeria has been on my list since April of 2010, when they were listed in the pizza section of the Cheap Eats issue of Atlanta Magazine, but we […]
Trackside Grill – Kennesaw, GA
As we were leaving church on Sunday morning, we saw my nephew and his wife in the parking lot and they mentioned that they were heading to the Big Shanty Festival in Kennesaw that afternoon. We hadn’t heard of the festival, or planned to go, but Jo was curious and I thought that there might […]
Rhea’s Take Out Foods – Roswell, GA
Let me preface this blog post by saying that it’s easier for us to eat in the city of Atlanta than it is to eat in Roswell. It may actually be easier to eat in Chattanooga or Birmingham. There’s just not a good way to get there from Paulding County. It takes FOREVER. Nevertheless, today […]
Tanner’s in Suwanee – Suwanee, GA
Back in the “old days”, which for the purposes of this post were the early 90s, we used to eat at a Tanner’s Chicken, at the corner of Indian Trail Road and Highway 29. In fact, we ate there quite a lot. Primarily because one of our sales guys ate nothing but steak or chicken […]
Trigos Colombian Restaurant – Lawrenceville, GA
Today’s chorus of “looking for lunch in all the wrong places” took me up 120 toward Lawrenceville. Just about to cross 316, I saw Trigos Colombian Restaurant off to my right, made a quick left, then a u-turn and caught the light into their complex. Trigos is located in a development that’s roughly a third […]
