50 Best American Restaurants near Avondale Estates

“Our server was excellent! The atmosphere was great. The food was decent. I was tempted to try the shrimp and grits but the bbq sauce turned me off. I opted for a traditional breakfast that consisted of grits, toast, bacon, and eggs. It’s a quaint little place with a variety of dishes. It was my first time here but it will not my last.“

“Very friendly and helpful staff.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Lazy Betty last night and I can not begin to tell you how wonderful the meal was. The attention to detail in the preparation and service was above the norm. Servers were friendly, personable yet not intrusive which is a difficult mix that they have mastered. I highly recommend this establishment if you want a culinary “experience” that will make your tastebuds explode with delight.“

Great variety, fresh ingredients, flavorful. The drinks and wine selection are spot onz and we've always had great service. We've added this to our regular rotation.“

She was kind and approachable! I love me some Rasheeda Frost!!! Our waister was Tyra. She was absolutely amazing! She suggested the sautéed brussels sprouts with my honey hot lamb chops. The sauteed brussels sprouts were a hit! My lamb chops were so moist and juicy! My food was delicious. I also had a wellness drink. It was perfect! Everybody enjoyed their food. The food was fye!! I would definitely go back!!!“

“Dining at Atlas in Atlanta was, without a doubt, the most extraordinary culinary experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but nothing has compared to this. What made this evening so unforgettable wasn’t just the masterfully crafted dishes (which were phenomenal), but the people who brought the experience to life. Chef Money and his incredible team, including Maxwell, Julian, and many others, showed a level of hospitality and genuine kindness that I have never encountered in fine dining. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel not just welcome, but truly cared for. And the food. Every single bite was absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a perfect blend of artistry, flavor, and emotion. You could feel the heart behind every plate. From the first amuse to the final bite of dessert, I found myself completely immersed in the flavors. Every course built upon the last, creating a seamless, delicious journey I didn’t want to end. This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a beautifully orchestrated experience filled with warmth, creativity, and connection. Chef Money and his team have created something truly special at Atlas. I left feeling full, grateful, and honestly in awe of what I had just experienced. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. I cannot wait to return.“

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“Absolutely Fabulous. The layering of flavors made each bite a special adventure to savored.“

“Came here to kick off my best friends bachelorette and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing, Frannie was our server and she was excellent even took the time to memorize all of our names. We all ordered different plates so that we could share and try everything and every single thing we ordered was delicious. The duck deserves an honorable mention, it was cooked to literal perfection. The cocktails were delicious as well. Atmosphere was very neat. We will definitely be back!“

“fantastic food, great service and faster than "fast food"“

“5Church was a beautiful location and the food was great. Service overall had room for improvement. Our waiter was very slow in servicing us, and I believe his shift ended, or his break started, in the middle of our dining. We had to wait a long time for someone else to wrap us up.

We also had a strange experience with valet. We pulled into valet around 2:45-2:50. Before we ordered our food, the valet came in said his shift was ending, and gave us our keys. He seemed to expect a tip and I gave him a small one, but I was miffed by that. To top it off, our car was unlocked the entire time.

Overall, I would go back again while in the area, but I hope for better service all around.“

“Was my first time dining with them. I had done a birthday surprise at the Porsche Experience for my Boyfriends birthday. Overall the experience was very nice, immediately got in with our reservation time, server was energetic, the overlook for the track added to the experience. Food was lovely, wished the salmon in the salad had a little more seasoning, but it was cooked perfectly!“

“We really enjoyed dinner tonight for our date night! See you all again soon“

“Big fan of Flower Child (both in Sandy Springs & Around Lenox)! Healthy, great tasting, quality food...awesome selection. Also, shout out to Felipe (Tuesday Mngr Sandy Springs) was SO kind and helpful - above & beyond - and also Tina - Thank you for your care & kindness!“

“This place is out of this world fantastic. The pastrami is near perfect. We dined for brunch and tried piled high pastrami, the general breakfast with schmaltz potatoes, deviled eggs, and pastrami and grits. We also had coffee and egg cream. We finished off brunch with a round of desert: cheesecake, coffee cake, and chocolate cake. Everything was so good from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food and I can’t wait to go back here.“

“The best experience, food, and service I’ve received in Atlanta. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and genuinely well thought out and fun menu. Finally something non-generic I don’t feel like I could make at home. Cam took great care of us.“

“Beautiful venue for a shower or luncheon“

“I realized my passport expired 48 hours before an international flight. I was able to book an appointment in the Atlanta Passport Agency for the next day in the morning at 9:30am. By 11am, I had my passport in hand. The people were all extremely friendly, EVERYONE, from the security to the tellers. This made an extremely stressful experience much better. This literally is the best run government agency I have ever dealt with. THANK YOU!!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Shiann at Twin Peaks, and I can't say enough about the incredible experience! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Her extensive knowledge of the drink menu helped us pick out some fantastic cocktails, each one perfectly crafted and delicious. What really stood out was Shiann's attention to detail and her genuine interest in making sure we had a great time. She checked in on us regularly, ensuring our drinks were topped off and that we were enjoying our meal. It was clear that she has a passion for her job and really takes pride in providing excellent service. Not to mention she’s very easy on the eyes 🫶🏾“

“I would highly recommend BoccaLupo. We thoroughly enjoyed everything from the drinks, appetizers, entrees, veggies, and desserts. Very different drink and food menu adds to this top notch restaurant. All servers are very knowledgeable in the menu and daily taste specials. Also, they make excellent recommendations if u ask. I was impressed when they changed silverware after each course. Classy! Top it off with homemade pasta and your tastebuds will thank you. We will be back!!!“

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“Tabby was in town and in usual Tabby flow she was exploring the atlasobscura website and came across The Consulate. As such, we decided to go. We had reservations for 06:15 on a Friday. Arriving about 20 minutes early as traffic happened to be light, we were able to be seated early without any issues. Upon entering the restaurant the hallway decor captures your attention as you focus on the selected hues of blue and artwork placement. Upon being seated we were immediately greeted by Cindy. Cindy arrived all smiles coupled with a huge personality and warm welcome. As this was our first time she took a moment to explain to us the menu selections, geographical inspiration, as well as answer the few questions we had about select items. Cindy’s education of the menu and experience with the foods added to the food deciding experience. Major shout out to Cindy. The ambiance of the restaurant is high energy, captivating and explorative. As you look around the restaurant it puts you in the mindset of being inside one of the classic true to theme castles in an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider movie. LoL! At any moment Laura Croft could walk in and grab one of the items on display and head out for her next mission. LoL! I decided on the String Beans with a side of Mexican Rice and I was more than satisfied with the flavor profile of my meal. The string beans were flavor stacked with the slight sweet from the sauce and the spice from the peppers. The texture was spot on for a true sautéed experience as well as the portion was perfect… The Mexican rice paired well with the string beans as it provided a texture variation as well as it was seasoned well but not overpowering in comparison to the string beans. This was truly a 10/10 experience. The service, the environment, and the food were all superb. Whether for a personal 2 person dinner or after work friend vibe, The Consulate is truly a must try for any occasion.“

“Came here while in town for a conference and found this online. We really enjoyed our dinner! Our server, Anderson, was so great! He made great recommendations, talked to us a little about the area and where he was from, and was super attentive! I ordered the Turkey Pastrami on a homemade pretzel bun with a side salad and a Sicilian Lemonade mocktail! I was so pleased with my choice! The pretzel bun was so fresh and soft, the meat was well flavored and I liked the dressing on the side as recommended by our server. The drink was good too, tasted crisp and refreshing, and looked pretty! Loved the vibe here, very hip and open! Would highly recommend!“

“We had a friends engagement celebration here and it was the perfect spot! Casual yet elevated. Our server, Angel, was incredible and made the night feel even more special. Everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks + the garlic knots app was amazing! Couldn't be any happier with our experience.“

“@fia_atlanta is more than the restaurant located in Buckhead’s @theburgesshotel; it celebrates Mediterranean cuisine featuring wood-fire grilled specialties. Fia is open daily for breakfast and dinner and has a cozy, intimate atmosphere where you feel like you are among friends, due in part to the stellar customer service. The food is some of the best in Atlanta! My favorite dishes include the Butternut Squash Soup, Jumbo Asparagus, and Pork Belly. I found Mr. B's Burger good but not craveable given the price point.“

“Great atmosphere and even better musicians!!!! My Monday nights will now consist of Ten ATL!!“

“Hamburguesa Bruno excelente !!“

“City Winery Atlanta is an exceptional venue for music lovers, especially for those who appreciate an intimate setting for live performances. The layout allows for close proximity to the stage, so you can truly connect with your favorite artist.“

“We had the pleasure of celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday here a few weeks ago with family and friends. It was a bustling Saturday night and we had a party of 10. Tiera was our server and was absolutely amazing!! She made the night a memorable one and kept up with all of our food and drink orders without a hitch! We can’t wait to go back and will be sure to ask for her when we do!“
