It amazes 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! ($) (See my tribute)
bulletThe Buckhead Diner: Not great, but the blue cheese homemade potato chips were great in 1994 ($$$)

But times have changed, and Atlanta now has some great places to eat!

My favorite, and one of my new favorite restaurants in the U.S. is:

bulletHoleman & Finch Public House: "From head to tail" mantra; killer burger; insane menu; good beer and whiskey; recent meal added to the Meals of my Life section ($$$)

And my other favorites still remain:

bulletBacchnalia: One of the best restaurants in Atlanta; consistently good; great cheese cart; cool market ($$$$)
bulletRestaurant Eugene: Excellent high-end restaurant from the same group who owns Holeman & Finch ($$$$)
bulletJake's Ice Cream: Truly amazing ice cream, especially the brown vanilla; you'll love Della, their cow! ($)
bulletThe Food Studio: In the King Plow district; cool space; innovative food ($$$)
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 & Maxie's is now open...ughhhh
bulletMorton's is your best bet.
