Kelly's Jamaican Foods in Athens -- The jerk pork is awesome and the "restaurant" definitely qualifies as a hole-in-the-wall.
Silver Skillet in Atlanta
Athens always enjoy Amici's , Blind Pig( I like wings) and of course The Mayflower.
Nicholson Ga. Cabin Creek's Sunday buffet can not be beat
Jefferson Ga. The Redd House
@Kasey Bobwhite is a great name for a diner to show Southern flair. Is it spelled as one word as you’ve written it, with two capitals, (which would probably throw off many locals)? I also wonder, do they have quail on the menu?
I invite those knowledgeable about ATL's hidden dining/eating gems to post here. Just because Awful House is one's haute cuisine, doesn't make one the arbiter of what is post worthy in this thread. Nor a seer that can divine who knows or does not know about them. Why eat our own?
As a feeble contribution, here are links to "meat + 3" places in ATL. Only one I am familiar with and endorse is Mary Macs.
Bon Appétit
Yeah, well now I uninvite everyone a second time, and pronounce my omniscience as superior to your opinion.
There are no hidden gems in Atlanta outside of Buford Hwy. Yelp articles such as the one you linked are the reason why. None. Well, maybe Alluvia
Don’t take things so seriously, @FirePlugDawg Nobody really “gas” what I think anyway, but Im sure many now feel comforted after hearing you welcome their opinions.
The Sand Bar in Elbert County on the Broad River. It's only open in the Spring and Summer. It started out as a hamburger/hotdog joint for people canoeing and kayaking the river. I had the best shrimp and filet ever. It's very small so it's hard to get a table. Also, it's down a pig path after you turn off of the dirt road. But oh so well worth it.
My son comes down from Wisconsin and can't wait to go to Waffle house. They don't have them where he is. Sanitary Fish Market in Morehead City, NC is tops for seafood. Been around forever. Captain George's in Virginia Beach is good also. In Chesapeake, Seafood Kitchen is good for lunch. The catfish and shrimp po boy is great!
Can attest that Pie slingers does have some good Pizza and they started brewing beers a few years ago I believe.
Also if you're in Chattanooga, Bea's Restaurant is a must see. Lazy susan style serving. Great fried chicken and cobbler. It's like stepping back into the 60's
My wife runs Carter's Burgers in Alma GA. Great place to eat and they sell more chicken and steak than anything.
I also recommend Michael's Deli in Waycross.
Don't sell the wife short Dawg! You gotta say Carter's Burgers in Alma are flat out the best burgers in the state. And visitors get a free iced tea if you mention DawgNation.
True that. That wouldn't be a lie either.
I'll mention the free DawgNation sweet tea deal to her tonight. Her sweet tea is the bomb too btw.

If anybody is ever in Alma stop by Carter's Burgers and ask for Leah and say Chris told me to tell you "GO DAWGS" and your drink will be free.
@BrianDawg go to French Market Grille. It's right down the street. t-Bonz is a little packed (and overrated) in my book. FMG is amazing and has incredible desserts
The redd house +💯
Oh heck yeah, better be hungry!
Can’t do just one from my neck of the woods.
Local - Cottontown, TN Perry’s BBQ. Good guy, good food, used to race single track. Or stop by my house, I’ll be happy to crack a brew and fire up the smoker
15 - 20 mins away, Top Hawg BBQ, really good bbq, decent sides, in the hood but cash only which don’t like. I get it, but it’s a pain it you want to eat there and only have a card
Willy Mae’s BBQ - some of the best bbq I’ve had. Not the best, but darn good. Once they run out... they are out which is a good sign. Downfall they take off the winter and some of spring.
Nashville - peg leg porker. Memphis style BBQ and good sides. Good atmosphere, but you have to go to Nashville.
Edleys bbq is decent with interesting bbq dishes. Sides not that great, but I do enjoy their Brunswick stew even though it’s not how my family makes it. Pretty picky on my Brunswick stew
We’re you or @corai3 ever fortunate to try master blaster bbq in Chattanooga before it closed? Pretty darn good. It was rated as top 5 best bbq in the nation.
No sir, never tried master blaster. Rib & Loin along with Choo Choo BBQ are good and consistent. Baileys in Ringgold is really good also
