Majestic Diner

The Setting: Atlanta’s classic diner, it’s been serving Atlantans since 1929. ‘Nuff said.

The Staff: Friendly and attentive

The Food: It’s all good… but, some if it is REALLY good. All of the usual suspects are present here. Eggs, pancakes, omelettes, burgers (veggie, turkey and beef), sandwiches and salads are made to order. And, then […]

Nak Dong Gang — Korean Duck Restaurant

The Setting: Simply decorated, this restaurant is set in a new strip mall on Buford Highway. The dining room is lined with partially enclosed tables for a more private dining experience.

The Staff: Incredibly friendly, helpful and inviting

The Food: In a word… Outstanding!

On a recent visit to Bakery Cafe Maum, we saw […]

Red Robin

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 […]

Made From Scratch… at Hardee's??

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 […]

Bone's Burger

The Setting: Entering through the doors, you are greeted by caricature covered walls. You may wander into the well-equipped bar and enjoy the perfect cocktail before moving on to the dining room. And, you might even find a tune to play on the bar’s jukebox.

The Staff: Friendly, inviting and professional

The Burger: We each […]

Hit & Miss at Canton House

Hits: Custard tarts still warm from the oven, pineapple bread with sweet custard filling, a mildly sweet bread stuffed with shredded dry beef, shrimp sui mai and sticky rice in lotus leaf.

Misses: All the other steamed dumplings we ordered were so badly overcooked that they were literally mush… falling apart before we could even […]

Chinatown & Little Italy

A holiday trip to NYC was just what the doctor ordered. It was delightful, hectic, nostalgic, jam-packed with activities, and making us hungry for more… soon!

Our favorite stops in Little Italy:

DiPalo’s (established 1925): 200 Grand St. — An incredibly popular Italian specialty foods shop that offers an assortment of cured meats, cheeses, honey, […]

Uncle Bubba's Oyster House

The Setting: A charming restaurant on the edge of the salt marshes bordering Savannah on the way to Tybee Island. Huge windows open to view the marshes in the daytime.

The Staff: Incredibly friendly, but, some are more experienced than others.

The Food: Amazingly Good! We’ve visited on a few occasions and every time we […]

Jim 'n Nicks BBQ

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 […]

Another Visit to The Counter

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 […]
