Trolling Open Table looking for a place for lunch, one of the spots that came up was B Tillman. From the urbanspoon page, I followed a link to a review in Connect Savannah about the recently revamped restaurant at Byrd Cookie Company. They said that it was the “most cosmopolitan dining experience south of Derenne […]
Looking on UrbanSpoon for a seafood place for dinner, Bonna Bella Yacht Club appeared. The ratings weren’t quite what I’d have liked (just under 90% positive with just under 100 reviews), but it looked like it would be a decent place to get some seafood. We headed down into south Savannah, winding our way through […]
Big Shanty BBQ first hit my radar in the 2011 Atlanta magazine barbecue issue, when they used the magic words “banana pudding”. The article listed barbecue restaurants by county, along with their specialties. In the entry for Big Shanty, it highlighted their ribs and pulled pork – and said that their banana pudding was really […]
Taqueria del Sol is a place that always seems to have a line out front. I remember eating there a couple of times over the last few years and it was good, but I don’t think I have been since I started blogging. And I don’t “get” the line. It’s always been good, but the […]
We’ve been visiting Vinny’s New York Pizza for at least the last eight years as a lunch time spot, yet I’ve somehow failed to mention them. Today when I went to get a quick bowl of pho, I found that Miss Saigon had ended it’s run. (This is not an obscure Broadway reference, but rather […]
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 […]
We hadn’t been to the Atlanta Fish Market in several years. Armed with a gift card for the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, we were looking for a dining option in Buckhead for lunch and AFM was the consensus decision. That giant fish is quite a sight as you turn onto Pharr Road, off Peachtree. We […]
Several months back, I read in one of the Yelp blogs about a new chicken “shack” opening in Atlantic Station from the Bantam & Biddy team, Chick-a-Biddy. They opened a little over two weeks ago, and I’d been intending to get there at some point in the near future. As I was heading downtown to […]
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Cardamom Hill is one of the other places that kept appearing, over and over, on the Best of Atlanta lists. After such a great experience at Bhojanic (we’ve been back since our first visit with another couple), we figured we might actually like Indian food and we were on a roll… […]
In last year’s Spring Dining Guide in the AJC, Umaido was listed. That was the first and only mention I had seen of it in the last couple of years, but they were still on one of my “lists”. Looking for adventure on a Friday we ended up heading in that direction. Just getting to […]
