Atlanta’s dining scene, like our waistlines, is growing by leaps and bounds. In every corner, NW, SW, and all parts in between, the top new Atlanta restaurants are sprouting up and bringing the good food along with it.
Who has the good food? Where to go to get some grub? We turned to Yelp and the volunteer reviewers who spend the time documenting their meals and experiences so that we don’t have to.
Top NEW Atlanta Restaurants, according to Yelp
A number of new joints have opened up in recent months. Some have been open a matter of weeks. They all make up some of the top new Atlanta restaurants. Here’s what Yelpers are saying about them:
Rose + Rye in Midtown 87 15th St NE Atlanta, GA 30309 Phone number (404) 500-5980. A Yelper said: ““The savory pork on the bone with sweet potato cakes was probably the best take on a pork chop I’ve ever tasted.”
Sage Woodfire Tavern In Buckhead: 3379 Peachtree Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30326 Phone number (404) 869-9177. A Yelper said: “irst time here, last minute decision to come here. Glad I did! Warren, was my server, he was absolutely wonderful! I ordered the Halibut and the broiled Seafood platter.”
Mission + Market in Buckhead: 3550 Lenox Rd NE Ste 550 Atlanta, GA 30326. A Yelper said: “Fabulous. Wonderfully fabulous. Would give 6 stars if I could. My wife and I visited on 4/19-its second week being open and really enjoyed the experience. First, the food was excellent. Great menu and hard to choose, but we both enjoyed everything served. I personally had the quinoa dish and added chicken. Looking forward to exploring other items on our next visit(s).”
Mary Hoopa’s House of Fried Chicken & Oysters has been serving since February 2018. The eatery is located in the Hosea + 2nd development. 2371 Hosea L Williams Dr NE Atlanta, GA 30317. A Yelper said: “The bestie and I came here to try it out after seeing the all you can eat sign (don’t judge us). Let me start by saying this place is not fancy. The decor isn’t fancy and neither is the food. However, at $13.99 the value cannot be beat! You can upgrade to sashimi as well for $19.99 but neither of us are into sashimi so we were glad to not have to pay for that. We were pleasantly greeted when we came in the place was not busy at all.”
Chido + Padre’s Restaurant In Buckhead. 128 E Andrews Dr NW Atlanta, GA 30305 Phone number (404) 848-9100. A Yelper said:“This used to be smoke belly but they’ve clearly replaced that old concept into something much more AMAZING with incredible food and drinks!”
Recess, 99-V Krog St Atlanta, GA 30307 Phone number(404) 596-8396. A Yelper said: “Serving up salads, bowls, soups, avocado toasts and sandwiches, Recess is new to the scene and one of the healthy-ish options available at Krog Street Market.” Castellucci Hospitality Group Monday Introduced The “Healthy-Ish” Concept In Inman Park.
Ms. Icey’s Kitchen, 1371 Clairmont Rd Decatur, GA 30033 Phone number (404) 963-7871. A Yelper said: “The portions were plentiful and right now it’s BYOB so that was nice. The ambiance is nice! You can be casual or dressy. The DJ was on point, Cedrick our server was great and attentive as was all of the staff. The manager and owner both came to check on us which was great. This new establishment has gotten off to a great start! I WILL BE BACK!”
CraftHall Kitchen Update: This business has closed.
Opens In Sandy Springs 1165 Perimeter Ctr W Ste 303 Atlanta, GA 30346. One Yelper said: “Crafthall kitchen is an interesting concept. It is four restaurants in one: Fried Chicken, Brunch, Salad, and Sandwich. You order your meal from an iPad. You can look back to the kitchen, but you don’t really interact with anyone. It is a little strange at first, but it probably keeps costs lower. I enjoyed the meal I received from the fried chicken restaurant. They have two different types of breadings, several different sides, and many different types of combinations.
“I had Chicken with Waffles. The Chicken was great, the waffles were okay. I probably won’t get it again, but the Chicken was good enough to come back. Expect to spend about $10 a plate.”
Red Pepper Taqueria: 3135 Piedmont Rd Atlanta, GA 30305 Phone number(404) 869-2773. One Yelper said: “My friends and I had the time of our life here! It is not easy finding places that offer bottomless mimosas in Atlanta – but they do. It is only $15 and an extra $3 if you want a flavor added. I had the strawberry mimosas….they were GREAT!”
Chai Yo Modern Thai : 3050 Peachtree Rd NW Atlanta, GA 30305. A Yelper said: “The coconut ice cream, the whipped cream and the chocolate cake was divineeee.”
