The Best Places to Eat in Atlanta
"Nikolai’s Roof, which sits atop the Hilton Atlanta, boasts world-class dining: It was the first restaurant in the Southeastern U.S. to receive the coveted Four Star Award from AAA, and has held onto the honor for 27 consecutive years (longer than any other restaurant in Atlanta). The fine dining menu presents modern American cuisine with Russian influences, more than 900 wine options, and signature house-infused vodkas. Swanky sophisticated white-gloved dinner service with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline is offered Tuesday through Saturday."
"I first went to Nikolai’s Roof a million years ago when my college boyfriend took me there. Located at the top of the Hilton Atlanta, Nikolai’s is definitely an impressive place. When I saw a deal pop up for a four-course dinner there, I opted for it for my birthday dinner."

"Though this place might seem kitschy, The Vortex is a local favorite. The burger joint has been in business for 20 years, and has an unapologetic approach that customers love. Consistently heralded as the best burger in Atlanta, patrons enter the restaurant via the cold white jaws of a giant skull."
"If you just turned 21 and you’re feeling super edgy, this is the place for you. Posters of half naked girls, smoking bar, and killer burgers."
"It is, however, a consistently solid place for craft beer from the city, the US, and the world, no matter which of the four locations in the city you go to. There are more than 100 craft beer options served up in Taco Mac’s sports bar atmosphere. Think Buffalo Wild Wings, but even more local and craft beer focused."
"The original location at the corner of Virginia and North Highland was previously a taco stand, and the chain's founders simply never changed the name, but instead grew into it, now offering not just wings, but guacamole, nachos, plenty of beer, and even tacos."
"Stop by Edgar’s Proof & Provision in the basement level of the Georgian Terrace Hotel across the street. There’s plenty of brown liquor to go around here and very strong whiskey cocktails, too. Order the firm handshake with Redemption Rye and fernet."
"While owner Marchet Sparks does have a few off-menu specialties, like slow-cooked oatmeal topped with fruit and almond pralines, and "the grits stack" topped with scrambled eggs, shrimp, bacon and cheddar cheese, the stars of the show are the custom-built sandwich offerings. Choose your bread (croissant, biscuit, tortilla, bagel), cheese, style of eggs and other toppings, including locally made Delia's chicken sausage."
"Kirkwood's local French-inspired cafe, "the little market," is a big favorite in this in-town neighborhood. Open for breakfast and lunch the family-owned restaurant serves sandwiches, paninis and salads with a side of Southern hospitality. Recently relocated to a larger address (across the street from its former digs), the space brims with fanciful decor."
"have teamed up to buy the legendary southeast Atlanta restaurant Bankhead Seafood. The eatery is operating as a food truck at present (catch them at Triton Park or Greenbriar Mall), but soon hopes to renovate and open in Grove Park."
