A great little sushi place that serves very good quality Japanese food for very reasonable prices. Unlike a previous post, judging from my Chinese palate, the rice is nothing less than excellent. Also very family friendly. The freshness of its sashimi is on par with MF Sushi Bar which is three to four times more expensive.
Pros: reasonable prices, really fresh sashimi, great tempura
Cons: parking can be a hassle at times

Everytime I get the chance to goto Parker's on Ponce I ALWAYS have a great time! I always feel welcomed the moment I walk into the door. Everything from their fried Calamari to the Shrimp & Scallops Linguini is exquisite! And as for the deserts...WOW! My boyfriend & I ate the pecan pie sundae... It was amazing! Everytime I come to the Decatur area I look forward to coming here! And when I know someones coming into town I make sure to tell them where Parkers is at.
Pros: Everything

I love this place. Unlike the "chef's right" dude, I like places with character; and I find the staff engaging, not a bunch of monkey trained nimrods that give answers to the questions they are trained to answer (aka, corporate, cookie cutter, no risk bars). I own a competing restaurant but had to respond to this review because of the type of person you are . You go into a place and expect a server up your --- ASAP and to stay there until you finish your two Stella Artouis and 6 waters, (yet I know you wait 45 mins in line at taco ria del sol then rave about how great the service is).... and then complain about your $6 hamburger. Have fun at Hoolihans and get an extra order of fried jalapeno poppers on me. Oh, and I checked into it and the stucko was added to the building in the early nineties, so next time don't comment on facts you know nothing about. -- Fat Pete
Pros: its got character and great food
Cons: i don't work there

I have been going to El Tesoro quite often since they opened and I have to say that the place just keeps getting better and better. The food is consistently awesome, very authentic, with great variety (house-ground chorizo chilaquiles---amazing!). Every time I have been in, the service is warm and knowledgeable. If you are a tequila connoisseur, this is your place!! They have many shelves jam packed with tequila, making for a whole page on the menu. Fun margaritas too, my favorite is the Ginger Margarita--can't get it anywhere else!
Pros: Great prices, food, service and drinks!
Cons: None!

The Dekalb Farmer's Market is a great place to shop! They have a huge selection of fruits, veggies, meats, cheese, wine, bread, spices, etc. The prices on most things is very competitive, especially on the fruits/vegestables, specialty cheese, and spices. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful, and it is so much fun to visit. The only downside is they only take cash, check or debit cards. Overall, my favorite place to grocery shop in Atlanta.

My wife & I have visited Bhojanic every week, since we discovered it in early Summer. Both of us have eclectic taste, and we enjoy eating out. Besides the food, which I think is the best Indian food in Atlanta, I like the service, that it is clean, the environment is comfortable (they had live jazz music last Friday, unsure of the day) and incredible value. By value I mean great quality food, good proportion at a great price. I really like restaurants that provide good value, and there aren't many that do. Either the food is mediocre or the price is too high.
Pros: food, value, clean
Cons: none

The dosas are outstanding. It's wonderful to have so many South Indian restaurants in Decatur, but Udipi stands out. Vegetarians will be in heaven. We don't go often enough, but only because there are so many dining options in the area.

Love a good burger? Then try one from Twain's. Twain's has the best burger I've had in a long time. And I LOVE a good burger!! Made to order and cooked perfectly, it comes served with the usual lettuce, tomatoe, onion, with additional toppings available (mushrooms, jalapeno peppers, etc.). The sweet potato fries are also fantastic -- served by the basket, they are crisp and served piping hot. Also really, really good are: The beer, of course!! They brew their own. The French Dip - LOADED with meat and cheese; the Cuban Sandwich - grilled to perfection; the Wings (their medium is pretty hot!); the Hummus (spicy); and the Greek Salad - generous on the feta and real kalamata olives. The restaurant itself is a huge bar and billiards room, with additional arcade and darts areas. The long bar probably seats 20 people, and there are 2 TV's usually set on sports. Go on a Saturday afternoon and sit with Bartender Sarah. Sarah REALLY knows her beers, and is an interesting character, with her long black braids and big black rimmed glasses. A total hoot!! Service is always great. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food served, and the atmosphere is very pleasant (non-smoking).

Eddie's Attic focuses on one thing, and it does it well. That one thing is not the food, which is mediocre, and not the bar scene, which is conducted in whispers. It's all about the music, and almost exclusively acoustic music. Eddie's sound quality is superb and the venue has rules which encourage the audience to listen, and most people abide by that. It's known as a place where local music comes to get discovered, and if you go to one of the numerous open mike nights, you'll see the next John Mayer or Indigo Gal wanna-be. But on the weekends Eddie's will usually have a headliner and charge a modest cover. Most of the music is folky, singer-songwriter stuff, but I've seen an electric show. I also saw a great classical cellist there. I love the fact that people go for the music, not to be seen, so you can be casual. And the place is full of small tables, so you'll get a seat unless the show is a sell out.
