The Earl 488 Flat Shoals Ave. East Atlanta, GA 30316
The Setting: An American memorabilia theme decorates the Lawrenceville location. A bar with booths, tables and a huge American flag made out of painted baseballs greet you as you enter. It’s a bright, casual and inviting restaurant that has a tendency of being a bit noisy. This is a family friendly restaurant, likely to be […]
Apparently Hardee’s have been making buttermilk biscuits “from scratch” for over 30 years!
A hectic weekend had us searching for a fast breakfast option. We wandered into a Hardee’s and got in line. As we were waiting in line, we saw a man in the back rolling out biscuit dough. We looked at […]
Big Tree Farms — Single Origin Peppers
While shopping at Alon’s Bakery prior to Christmas, we found a box of these gorgeous long peppers. The smell emanating from the box was powerful and rich. We had no doubt to the freshness of the long peppers inside.
I was unable to find the long peppers […]

Misses: All the other steamed dumplings we ordered were so badly overcooked that they were literally mush… falling apart before we could even […]
The Setting: A free-standing chain restaurant with a rustic theme. It can only be called a theme, because, it doesn’t feel rustic at all.
The Staff: On this occasion, our server was a bit abrupt and distracted. (First Visit… and probably our only visit)
The Food: If I had to sum it up in a […]
Once again, The Counter exceeds expectations with perfectly crisp and golden brown sweet potato fries (even more perfect than previous visits… if that’s possible) and burgers nearing perfection. We’ve sampled quite a few burgers and they’ve proven to be impeccably prepared, cooked, and presented on every visit.
Here are a few favorite combinations for our […]
The Setting: A charming little shop (and, I do mean little) that serves up some of the best gelato in Atlanta.
The Staff: Super Friendly
The Gelato: It’s all good! You can’t go wrong with your choice of flavor. But, some of our favorites include Violet, Dulce de Lece, Zabione, Pistachio, Bacio, Chestnut, Capuccino, […]
