Re: What are your five favorite restaurant dishes in Atlanta
I'm going to keep it simple - I don't know that there are any dishes from the fussy restaurants I've been to that I'd make a repeat visit for. They were all tasty, but I'd probably end up getting something different. Although I do LOVE the fried lobster tail at Chops...
1. Sushi (any of it) from Nakato (Cheshire Bridge Rd.)
2. Brisket tacos from Taqueria del Sol
3. Veggie plate from Eats (on Ponce)
4. Pad Thai from Little Bangkok (Cheshire Bridge Rd.)
5. Dim Sum from Royal China (Chamblee Dunwoody Rd.)
Here are some of my favorites, although they are pretty random. :-)
1. Memphis and Fried Chicken Tacos from Taqueria del Sol (we eat there at least once per week)
2. Raw oysters from Fontaine's (not really a "dish" but so yummy)
3. Challah French Toast or the Peachtree Plate from West Egg Cafe (can't pick just one breakfast item there)
4. Masaman Chicken from Mint Chinese & Thai (note that I've never actually been in the restaurant - only order delivery with girlfriends)
5. Anything from Alfredo's on Cheshire Bridge - never had a bad dish there
1. The beef tenderloin at Wisteria
2. BBQ'd pork belly from Honey Pig
3. Lamb tibs from Desta
4. Tonkatsu ramen at Yakitori Jinbei
5. Grilled octopus at Kyma
in no particular order:
1) fried chicken taco and shrimp corn chowder from TdS.
2) fried green tomato breakfast wrap from west egg
3) lobster fritters from Rathbun's Steak...mmm....
4) southern or lamb burger at Flip
5) wild mushroom ravioli from Figo
6) half pound (!!!) oatmeal creme pie from Leon's Full Service
7) pulled pork omelet from Parish
8) not really atlanta but we LOVE marietta diner...such good comfort food!
9) shrimp and scallops from 6 Feet Under
god i could go on and on and on...i LOVE to eat if you can't tell! ;-)
I'm way to indecisive to come up with my favorites..but here are some good ones. Also I would say all are pretty child friendly. We've taken James there a lot.
1. Po Boys at Crawfish Shack (Buford Hwy& Dresden)
2. Shrimp and Pork Green Papaya Salad at Chateau Saigon - or anything else on the menu! (Buford Hwy & Dresden)
3. Halim Soup at Panahar (Buford Hwy & N. Druid) - love their stuff..and BYOB w/ no corkage fee
4. Nan's Pizza at Varasano's (Peachtree Rd near Piedmont Hospital)
5. Firecracker Beef or Tangerine Chicken at Pyng Ho (Clairmont & N. Decatur)

No particular order and these are just some of my favorites:
1. cheesy mashed potatoes and filet - NY Prime (dh loves their banana cream pie too)
2. pancakes from Ria's Bluebird Cafe
3. shrimp and grits from south city kitchen
4. crab ball from Bacchanalia - you can actually buy these at star provisions and cook them yourself. It's super easy and you can buy them alone or with all the fixings that Bacchanalia puts with it. Super yummy!
5. Cobb Salad from Yeah burger
6. Hushpuppies from Local Three - I usually don't like hushpuppies but these are AWESOME!
