Best Croissant in Atlanta

The Contenders:

The current frontrunner — Star Provisions

Perfectly delicate flakes surrender to your bite. The rich full-flavored dough edges out the competition with its buttery goodness. The sweet butter flavor is clearly present, but, in no way overwhelming or overpowering. The butter has a sweet […]

The Good, The Bad, And, The Ugly @ Star Provisions

The Good: Two incredible po’boy sandwiches with shrimp… Each sandwich was jam-packed with freshly fried shrimp, juicy-sweet & thinly sliced tomatoes, and brushed with a mildly spicy remoulade.

Is this donut wet?

Umm… no that’s oil. It’s saturated with oil! UGH

and the cutting board is coated in oil now…

Star Provisions — Maple Donut

Speckled with bacon and covered in maple glaze, this donut is close to perfection. At first sight, it appears to be a standard donut. But, the first bite welcomes you with a delicate bite, filled with air bubbles, rich with flavor and just enough substance to maintain its structure. It possesses the […]

Smoked Duck @ Rolling Bones

The Setting: A smallish glass-walled converted gas station creates the indoor seating space. A covered patio with plenty of faux-vintage aluminum chairs & tables fill the superior outdoor seating area. Though, on at least one occasion, we were asked if we wanted to contribute to a gentleman’s livelihood…. or maybe give him our food… you […]

Tassa Roti

The Setting: Converted from a small house, this charming little white building now houses a little restaurant with two small dining areas. One room houses the buffet and a handful of tables, the second more tables and access to the wooden deck. We choose the deck. Large wooden picnic tables have you feeling like you’re […]

The Staff: Friendly and Efficient

The Food:

BBQ Beef Sandwich: Barbecued beef torn off of freshly made BBQ beef ribs are combined with a sweet & mildly spicy barbecue sauce. Then, it’s piled generously on […]

The Setting: This perfect summer day with a bright blue sky had Fox Bros. packed to near-capacity.

The Staff: Friendly and attentive, even with the crowd

The Food:

Watermelon Margarita: Perfectly fresh watermelon juice, a good kick of tequila […]

Ionie's Caribbean Kitchen

The Setting: A brand new strip mall on stretch of 78 that is so far east of the city that it’s referred to as Athens Highway.

The Staff: Very friendly

The Food: On a day that we spent over 4 hours walking/hiking nonstop, we were ready for a hearty meal. Ionie’s fit the bill perfectly.
