It sickens me that I am putting Atlanta on this web site.  For the six months that I lived there, I ate at two places:

bulletThe Waffle House: The Best Restaurant in Atlanta, bar none; total consistency; brilliant hash browns; excellent condiments; great music; impeccable service; bring a franchise to NYC! ($)
bulletThe Buckhead Diner: Not great, but the blue cheese homemade potato chips were great in 1994 ($$$)

Recently, friends in Atlanta have introduced me to some decent places, but I can't remember the names.  I do remember:

bulletBacchnalia: The best restaurant in Atlanta; consistently good; great cheese cart; cool market ($$$$)
bulletIris: In a cool area and one of the best meals I've had in the South; try the pork! ($$$)
bulletJake's Ice Cream: Truly amazing ice cream, especially the brown vanilla; you'll love Della, their cow! ($)
bulletThe Food Studio: In the King Plow district; cool space; innovative food ($$$)
bulletSotto Sotto: Great wine selection and solid Italian food (for Atlanta) ($$$)
bulletAny Restaurant on Buford Highway! ($)
bulletFloataway Cafe: I was not impressed, but I rarely am in Atlanta ($$$)

There are some bad restaurants, but I don't want to clog up the site. There are too many to list.

The steak houses are totally over-rated:

bulletBones is the best, but it is not that great.
bulletChops is an over-priced tourist-trap
bulletAngelo & Maxies is now open...ughhhh
bulletMortons is your best bet.
