Best Dinner Places to Eat in Atlanta

"A post shared by Hilton Atlanta (@hiltonatlanta) on Nov 10, 2018 at 10:00am PST. Spend a romantic night out and have dinner at Nikolai’s Roof!. This sky high place does not only serve the finest meals but the finest views of the city - especially in the evening."

"This Hilton Hotel hot spot features some of Atlanta's best views. From the 30th floor of the Hilton, diners can enjoy some of the best seafood in Atlanta and the sights of the city..."

"Downtown can be tough when it comes to dining but, thankfully, there’s Atlanta Breakfast Club to help with morning hunger pangs. It’s also the place to go to when you want an over-the-top-breakfast that’s going to make your taste buds happy. The peach cobbler French toast with vanilla butter and the Gulf shrimp and grits with chicken sausage and smoked pepper gravy are definite winners."

"It’s so hard to choose the best chicken and waffles in Atlanta, but Atlanta Breakfast Club’s version is at the top of my list. It is one of my favorite brunch items, but when it is done right with a thick and fluffy waffle and perfectly seasoned fried chicken I am a happy girl. This tasty combination and the peach cobbler french toast are the dishes to order here."

"249 Ivan Allen Jr Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313 | (470) 428-3825. The Atlanta Breakfast Club has a strong following because of its brunch menu, which includes the famous Peach Cobbler French toast, chicken and waffles and more. Here’s what one reviewer says about the Atlanta Breakfast Club: “Great food."

"After years of serving classic, white-tablecloth fine dining, chef Gerry Klaskala remodeled his Buckhead staple restaurant to appeal to a younger generation of diners. Now it’s a bit more relaxed and casual — there’s a walk-in ready bar and lounge for drinks and snacks for an impromptu night out. The kitchen consistently cranks out Aria favorites, like butter braised lobster, slow braised pork, and lump crab cakes."

"With several outstanding awards each year to its credit, along with a Four Diamond rating for 13 consecutive years, Aria is a must-visit for an exquisite dining experience in Atlanta. The dinner menu might be all-American, but the flavors are international. You’ll never be bored, not with its elegant, seasonal dishes."

"On any given night, you can count on Eddie's Attic to entertain you with bands you've likely never heard of before. Toting a range of Americana acts (think singer-songwriter, country, bluegrass and Southern rock), there's a daily rotation of new voices gracing the stage. The atmosphere is easy going, and lends itself to conversation, cold beer and viewing live shows."

"Zoe’s Kitchen: If it seems like there’s a lot of Mediterranean-inspired options on this list, it’s because this cuisine truly is one of the healthiest in the world. The Mediterranean diet, focused on vegetables, healthy fats from fish and olive oil, and lean protein sources, has been proven to promote healthy aging and a long life. And no fast-casual restaurant emphasizes this more than Zoe’s Kitchen."

"These people have made their living in movies, TV, music and other forms of entertainment, but they’ve all decided to give it a go in the kitchen, food service and hospitality industry. There are celebrities that own restaurants in Atlanta, and there are celebrity chefs. These are celebs who have bought eateries in the city."

"Frost Bistro opened up in 2019 with a lot of celebrity star power, thanks to owners and reality TV stars Kirk and Rasheeda Frost. The downtown Atlanta eatery has gotten rave reviews."

"In the eastern suburb of Decatur, about 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, the Waffle House Museum preserves the original location of the 24-hour, breakfast-all-day chain that now boasts more than 2,000 locations from coast to coast. The arrow on the bumblebee-colored signature sign points you to the restored restaurant and memorabilia-packed museum. See the chain’s original menus, place settings, uniforms, and more."

"Waffle Houses are a common sight in the United States and you can visit the original restaurant. At the small Waffle House Museum, you can step back in time and look through past uniforms, dishes from different decades, and a collection of menus. It’s a kitschy little spot, but many people have a special place for the Waffle House chain and might love stopping at this little museum that pays homage."

"Founded in Decatur in 1964, Huddle Houses now dot the landscape of small towns all across the state of Georgia and beyond, as far north as Fargo, North Dakota. The specialty at Huddle House is breakfast— served all day— but Chop House burgers and BIG House sandwich combos offer hearty options for lunch and dinner."

"Located in downtown Atlanta, right across from the historic Martin Luther King Jr. District, is the Thumbs Up Diner. Practically an institution in this area of Atlanta, the diner has been in operation for over a decade and even has five other locations scattered throughout Georgia’s metro area."

"You know: white plates, cheap food, good eats, booth seating, and bustling with customers and servers. This place is CASH ONLY, so keep that in mind!"

"One Sushi + is a popular Asian fusion restaurant in a sleek, industrial setting in Brookhaven Village. The restaurant utilizes modern takes on traditional Japanese dishes with one-of-a-kind options like spicy miso soup with Korean squash, sesame asparagus fries with black truffle oil, and yellowtail jalepeño shots with sriracha and honey yuzu. A variety of heat-induced spices are used such as sriracha, wasabi aioli, jalapeños, and chili teriyaki."

"BrookhavenThe One Sushi + doesn’t take itself too seriously: it has menu items like the O.M.G and the #Selfie roll. But it sources its fish from the famed Tsukiji Market in Japan, so you can take a #selfie with fresh sea urchin, Japanese snapper, and more. Sign up here for our daily Atlanta email and be the first to get all the food/drink/fun the ATL has to offer."

"For those that don’t take life (or their food) too seriously, The One Sushi + is the place to be. Everything is a little tongue in cheek here. Favorites include Bang Bang Shrimp, Y..."

"Everyone loves a good Thai and sushi joint, so East Atlanta locals and visitors alike were grateful for this unique restaurant’s delicious and diverse menu. The menu includes unbeatable meals like Rama chicken, sushi rolls, East Atlanta mixed seafood, and spicy Thai fried rice."

"This is one of the handful of restaurants that serve both Thai and Sushi in Atlanta. EAV Thai & Sushi is of course located in the EAV (East Atlanta Village). While the Thai food here is tasty, the menu is fairly standard and similar to what you can find elsewhere."

"The classic New Orleans treat is taken to a new level at Big Easy. Try custom creations like key lime, with condensed milk, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs. Favorite kids’ flavors: cotton candy and Hawaiian Punch."

"Looking for an authentic Mexican breakfast made fresh seven days of the week?. If yes, then there’s definitely no better place to head over to than ADios Café. Started in 2009, the café specializes in various delectable breakfast dishes as well as desserts and coffees."
