And it’s home to one of the city’s must-try dishes — the comfy biscuit topped with fried chicken and smothered in sausage gravy. There’s almost always a wait at this casual Reynoldstown neighborhood diner on the weekends, but it’s definitely worth it.

Chef Bruce Logue also offers a pasta tasting menu for those who don’t want to choose just one dish.

But the food, from chef David Bies, shines all on its own. Club classics to try include the Ipswich clam roll, the sweetbreads, and whatever vegan option Bies has listed on the menu such as the vegan noodle bowl or Poh’s eggplant with jasmine rice. Feeding a crowd? Order the chuckwagon — a 48-ounce, medium-cooked, black angus chuck roast served with fresh horseradish, wort, and parsley-red onion salad. The dinner bell will ring when its headed to the table.

This Inman Park restaurant is known for its bold and ever-changing menu, thanks to chef Robert Phalen’s inventiveness in the kitchen. Try dishes such as Carolina gold rice with lump crab, asparagus, andbenne seed or steelhead trout with Carolina gold rice grits, last year’s ramps, and endives. Oyster happy hours are great here on weeknights, as is the fried chicken on Mondays. Make sure to try the meatstick (one of Atlanta’s must-try burgers) and the chef’s breakfast during weekend brunch. Pair both with a Schlitz tall boy.
