Brusters's has some of "the best" Key Lime Pie Ice Cream! Their Strawberry Ice Cream is out of this world yummy!
One of my favorite things they offer (next to the above mentioned ice cream) is their baby cones. If you have a little one 40" & under, they can have a free "baby cone" with sprinkles & eyes on them. It's cute & they eat it up!
Another nice thing is Bruster's offers 1/2 off Banana Split Night on Thursdays IF you bring your own banana. Really! You just can't leave this place unhappy, if you do, you either didn't try the flavor you bought first or you just don't have working taste buds. ;)
Their staff is always full of happy, teenager that really seem to love what they do. From milkshakes, banana splits to the classic ice cream cones, this is a sure winner with families, couples on a date or even co-workers looking for a yummy treat!

I have heard it is wonderful, but the sad part is that they are filled up to capacity with a two year wait list!

What they are doing is wonderful, I just don't have any first hand information except for the email communication I had with them when I attempted to adopt out my cats.

The Georgia Aquarium is all that it promises to be & more. It is an adventure for any age to visit. Make your reservations ONLINE (i.e. purchase your tickets AHEAD OF TIME) . Don't try to just walk up & buy them. 99.9% of the time you'll be sorry if you do.
Preprint a map or get one at the door & set out for an adventure. My advice to local families that can afford it- buy a season pass so you can come back to find things you may have missed. Leave the bulky strollers at home if at all possible. Double strollers have NO place here, unless you have a double stroller that seats one child in front & the other in the back. A side-by-side stroller is a huge pain for other guests and yourself in the long run because you'll have to fight the crowds; running over & into them.
There is plenty to see. Take your time & rush through & come back to what you liked the most. Be prepared to spend at least 2 1/2 hours- 3 hours at the GA. Aquarium. Check out their website at http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/ .
I'd recommend to either come first thing in the AM or late in the afternoon. Schools bring their students in tour sessions at 10 am or 1:30 pm, lasting 2 hours. Each time has groups that arrive 15 minutes early & stay an additional 30 minutes for lunch.
Summer hours are currently 8 am until 8 pm (July & August, some of September 2006). Wear comfortable shoes, tshirt, shorts or pants. The airconditioning is cranked up & it's nice and cool. So if you're cold natured, either pack a light jacket or wear a light sweatshirt.
Bottom line: it's fun, it's beautiful, but if you don't like crowds come early AM or later in the afternoon. If MARTA (Atlanta's public transportation) is available for your use, use it! Otherwise parking is $10 & up around the Aquarium area.

Oakwood has a WONDERFUL Sunday Brunch! It's more of a "best kept secret" in the area. I'm amazed at all the different selections of food & the wonderful chefs that prepare the omelets, cuts of meat, Belgian Waffles, Alaskan Crab Legs, Full Salad Bar and Dessert Buffet, peel & eat shrimp, pastries-galore, Chicken, Vegetables, plus tons of breakfast favorites.
Call ahead to make your reservations and then don't eat for a day or two (ha ha!) This is a great place to take your family or spouse. After brunch, you can take a stroll to enjoy the lake and surrounding beauty.
They also offer buffets or individual plates for breakfast, lunch & first class dinner.

I grew up at the end of the "rootbeer stands" era. It was a real treat to be taken to the rootbeer stand for a root beer beer and fries. For a real treat, get a rootbeer float & fries! It's fun & a nice place for families to enjoy an evening. (Good for dates too!)

Penguin Point has wonderful tenderloin sandwiches & fries! It's a nice change from the fast food burgers from Mickey D's. It's nice to slow down and enjoy tasty food without the long wait or over processed happy meals.

This IS my favorite place to eat. The food is fresh, the atmosphere is fun, and my stomach is growling just thinking about it! There are so many selections to choose from for everyone in your family or group of friends.
There is a good selection for kids' menu. This comes in handy when you're not starved, but need some yummy food in your tummy.
This location is a little bit on the smaller side, but I've never been disappointed with the food!
