Best Lunch Restaurants in South Atlanta

Awesome experience. Had a business lunch and the setting was perfect for our meeting. Will definitely go back.

Between the excellent food, drinks and service, it’s impossible to come here and not have a good time. The lobster crawfish wontons and fried green tomatoes with Korean beef are must-haves. I have yet to find a great bao spot in Atlanta but was so happy to try their duck bao special which was so good! The Asian fusion cuisine here is solid but the bartenders here show an equal passion for their cocktails and deserve their own shout out. Their “Pho” drink… what?! Don’t ask, just order it. When it comes to food reviews, I care about taste above anything else… ambiance, service, noise… idc, but I do want to mention that you will not find a poor server at Poor Calvin’s… every single person who works here does their best to ensure you’re having a good experience and it shows.

I apologize for not remembering the name of our server. Hopefully you can look this up under our reservation. But that gentleman, overheard me discussing my birthday and the birthday of my daughter. He brought us free dessert, wished me a happy birthday, knowing my daughter was not at the dinner with us, and wish both of us a wonderful birthday and a happy life. He was wonderful. 

We dine at Rays in the city anytime we’re in town for a convention. The food and service are always wonderful. Their seafood is the best, IMO. Calamari is to die for and although they charge for the bread basket now, you must have it. So good!

Fabulous in every aspect - best spot I dined at while in Atlanta for five days for a conference - so much so I went twice! Walkable from downtown core which is near to many hotels and part of a Michelin key recognized heritage hotel. Should be on your dining radar if you care about the food you eat and are looking for a great affordable place to go .
