It’s not a place where the decor is of primordial importance (clean, simple, yet reminiscent of a chain) and it’s not a place where you need a whole lot of direction (it’s cheesesteak-centric). However, that doesn’t mean that Roy’s Cheesesteaks is lacking in any true sense of the word. Stashed away up in Smyrna, just …

JCT Kitchen Restaurant Review: Slipping Into Oblivion – Westside In Midtown, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:1] JCT Kitchen just donkey punched me… alright, just had to get that out of the way. I’ve been all up and over the Westside recently. In that spirit, it’s no surprise then that I found myself dining at JCT Kitchen yet again. It’s time to throw some more stars out, and so JCT gets …
LottaFrutta In Inman Park: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #14
So yesterday was LottaFrutta; that quirky and offbeat food stop down in the Old 4th Ward/Inman Park. A self-proclaimed fruit house and market, it translates into a fruit bar with sandwiches and salads. Their style is unique (at least to this town); and, as such, it was time that I took the Atlanta Sub & …

Carver’s Country Kitchen & Grocery Restaurant Review – Westside In Midtown, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:2] Ahhhhhhhhh … everyone’s favorite gut buster … none other than Carver’s Grocery on the Westside of Midtown. Okay, in all technicality – what you have is a restaurant (aka Carver’s Country Kitchen) inside a grocery (aka Carver’s Grocery). The reality is that in all my years of visiting the Carver’s and their restaurant, I’ve …
Cafe At Pharr In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #13
Café at Pharr in Buckhead has been around for a long time. Soon after the Braves were cheated out of a World Series victory by Kent Hrbek [yeah – I’m talking to you!!!], this place opened (circa 1992). I actually remember eating here inside their first month of operation. What a cute little foodie I …

A Night Of Gatsby: The Souper Jenny Underground Dinner Club [Great Finds]
I was apprehensive to say the least. High-brow, underground supper clubs strike a strange cord with me. On the one hand, it’s kind of cool to hit up a private event that requires a trip to the piggy bank. On the other hand, there is something snob-elitish about events that come with a $150 price …

Livingston Restaurant Review: Best At Disappointing – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Grovel … grrrr … harrumph. Why do you do it to me? You show so much promise, invoke so much potential, and yet … when it’s all said and done, I feel like I just gave $15 to one of those unmentionables hanging on the corner of Ponce & Blvd. At the end of the …
D.B.A. Barbecue Goes Live In Virginia Highlands, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
There’s a new meat slinger in town, and they are “Doing Business As” a barbecue joint. Last night, I was chilling in ViHi, so we ambled over to D.B.A. Barbecue. Turns out, D.B.A. Barbecue actually opened to the public this past evening. I was under the impression this was week two for them, so that …

Steamhouse Lounge Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [From The Archives]
Originally written 11.6.08 The best way to sum this up: A failure on most fronts. Seafood (sans sushi) is not well represented in this city; however, that’s not for lack of options. For those craving "bar" seafood, this is one of the popular choices inside the perimeter. The vibe here is great but the food …

Crawfish Shack Seafood Restaurant Review – Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
I swear I don’t eat out every meal! Really, I don’t. Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get to the topic at hand: Crawfish Shack Seafood on Buford Highway. When most ATLiens think of casual seafood eateries, Six Feet Under, Fontaine’s and Steamhouse Lounge usually reign supreme [Speaking of which … I …
