FAB (French American Brasserie): If you can afford it
  • Satisfaction:
  • Best visited on a company expense account, this restaurant is impressive. The food is excellent. The waiters are French, brisk and attentive. The main dinning room is bright and loud with extremely high ceilings. There is a more romantic roof-top dining room. Portions range from adequate to large.

    I could not finish my sumptuous coq au vin. My wife loved her braised veal shank. Unfortunately, no chocolate mousse on the menu.

    Genki sushi bar and restaurant: Sushi in Buckhead
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is supposed to be one of the best sushi restaurants in Atlanta. I found it to be an interesting place in a great location, but the sushi is nothing to write home about, especially if your hometown, like mine, is known for some really great sushi.

    Genki's is located near East Andrews in Buckhead and is walking distance to a popular strip of bars and clubs. This is probably part of the draw and the high marks this place receives. Its supposed to be a popular Thursday night hangout as well.

    The sushi is very garden variety and the menu contains everything you'd expect from a standard sushi place, nothing less and nothing more. If you like preditability and california or shrimp tempura rolls, then you'll like this place. Those looking for more exotic offerings should head south for about 10 hours until they reach Miami, I didn't try any of the main dishes or the noodle bowls, but I'd guess they are about average as well.

    The service could do with some improvement. The waitress practically demanded that we place an order after we asked for some more time. She did kindly offer to come back, but offered the caveat that we'd better be ready upon her return. When the check arrived, it was the waitress who needed more time and didn't seem to need our table quite as much as the bill sat for quite a while.

    Gladys Knight & Ron Wimans Chicken and Waffles: Chicken and Waffle
  • Satisfaction:
  • The concept of chicken and waffles was born in Harlem, New York in 1930s to serve late night bar goers. As these people hung out til such late hours, they couldn't really decide whether they want dinner or breakfast; therefore chicken and waffles were introduced and served together. At Gladys and Ron's you can find this popular combination of fried chicken and breakfast waffle. Here you can also find other popular soul food dishes. The atmosphere is casual and laidback - chicken and waffle house style!

    The waffle of the day - cinnamon and apple is delicious! Not to mention the gigantic glasses of lemonade is definitely thirst quenching. Definitely try the Uptown Lemonade.

    Great Wraps: Something unique and tasty
  • Satisfaction:
  • It was late in the evening and I was looking for something quick (but not a fast food chain) to eat. I asked the valet if he knew of such a place close by...he said try Great Wraps. Started in the early 1980's, they serve hot wrapped sandwiches (Teriyaki Chicken Wrap, the Steak & Cheese Wrap, the Gyro Wrap, etc.). So if you are tired of the same old slop (fast food burgers, pizza and subs), why not try this place.

    I had the Thai Chicken Wrap Combo (grilled chicken sauteed in Thai sauce, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes and wrapped in a low-card tortilla) with seasoned fries and a Coke.

    Harold's Barbeque: Best Barbeque in the City!
  • Satisfaction:
  • Harold's is an Atlanta Classic that's been serving the best barbeque in the city since 1947. Located in an old one story building, the place is loaded with character to accompany the great barbeque. Although it's always busy, it's a relatively little known place do to it's location (about a mile from the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary). Don't let that sway you, Local (and national) Politicians, High Power Business Execs, and Prison Guards all frequent this place for the great food.

    They'll bring out some fresh Cornbread and Potato chips to get you started.

    The Menu is pretty simple, you can get Pork, Beef, or Pork Ribs and they'll serve it on a play or in a sandwich. You can have the meat sliced or chopped whichever you prefer. Note the chopping board on your way out and look at the indentation that you can only get from chopping meat since 1947.

    I opted for the Combo Platter which included Ribs, Pork, and Beef along with a side of Brunswick Stew and Cole Slaw. The Sweet Tea is awesome. All of the meats were excellent as well but I think the ribs were my favorite.

    There are two barbecue sauces. A regular, and a hot barbecue sauce. The hot is pretty hot and is different from any other hot barbecue sauce I've had. It's not overwhelmingly hot so give it a try if you make the journey.

    Swing up the road and check out the Prison as well. Al Capone was there!

    Henri's Bakery: Excellent Goodies
  • Satisfaction:
  • This bakery has been in business since 1929 and puts out a fresh daily assortment of baked goods and lunch items. There is also an expresso bar. The ambience is practically nonexistent, but there is a nice covered area outside with plants and flowers for enjoying your purchase if you can't wait until you get home.

    J Christophers: Sunday morning 11 o'clock
  • Satisfaction:
  • There are several locations but the two I've been two have been quite similar. Light colours and fun art on the walls. Nice outdoor patio at the Sandy Springs location where I can easily kill time on a weekday morning. Weekends tend to get busy, but I think the longest I've had to wait for a table is about 20 min. The staff is young and friendly, service is usually fast and good.

    Portabello omelette- I prefer fresh tomatoes before dried... and a side of bacon... gotta have a bit of salt in the morning.

    They have yummy pancakes as well!!
