4. Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar - 1369 Clairmont Road, Decatur, GA 30033

This restaurant mashes soul food with Caribbean cuisine, resulting in dishes such as salt fish mixup, blueberry cornbread and jerked pork. Also, a good spot to catch a DJ in the evenings.

A Jamaican takeout spot known for its oxtails, jerk chicken, and curry goat. It’s open late most days and offers large-format catering for your next event.

A self-serve Ethiopian restaurant with huge portions, especially of traditional injera.

7. Harold’s Chicken & Ice Bar - 345 Edgewood Avenue SE, Atlanta, GA 30312

Shout out to Chicago’s South Side! This Chicago institution expanded to Atlanta in 2012 and slowly became just as much an Atlanta restaurant as a Chicago one. Still, native Chicagoans in the Atlanta metro area can’t do much better for a taste of home.

8. Paschal’s - 180 Northside Drive SW, Atlanta, GA 30313

A Midtown restaurant opened in 1947 that’s known just as much for its good jazz as its good food. The fried chicken has attracted all kinds of comers over the years.

9. Busy Bee Cafe - 810 Martin Luther King Jr Drive SW, Atlanta, GA

Nationally recognized as a James Beard Classics award winner, this restaurant opened in 1947 is kind of a big deal. Just off the Ashby MARTA stop, the business has changed hands several times but its commitment to kindness hasn’t.

10. Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours - 1133 Huff Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

Head chef Deborah VanTrece has traveled all over the world and brought her inspirations to Atlanta. The chimichurri fries small plate is just one example of the many fusion dishes Twisted Soul has on offer.
