Atlanta
Here’s our picks for the best in Atlanta from some Cajun Foodie’s in exile!
- Atlanta Fish Market-This seafood is so fresh that you can pick out your dinner while it’s still alive. Want to give it a name too? Too far? -Nick
- Big Easy Grill-Atlanta doesn’t have a lot of “dive” bars. Mostly it’s full of trendy, one-word named (see, Tap, Opera, Toast, etc.) “clubs.” That’s why the Big Easy Grill stands out here. Located in a strip mall on the outskirts of town and run by a Cajun in exile, the Big Easy Grill is a safe haven for those in search of authentic jambalaya, gumbo, Abita Beer, and $3 Jaegermeister shots at all times!- Nick
- Boudreaux’s- Located in a suburb of Atlanta, Boudreaux’s is a little more than off the beaten path. So, why does this plain as day market sell out of crawfish within hours of announcing they have them? It’s because they’re the real deal. During crawfish season, they make a weekly trip to Lafayette to get fresh, live mudbugs. They even sell them live if you want to do your own boil.- Nick
- Front Page News- New Orleans inspired restaurant and bar. It’s a great place to have a Purple Haze on their French Quarter-esque courtyard/patio.- Nick
- Parish- Parish is the exactly what you’d expect from a Louisiana themed restaurant in Atlanta. It’s Cajun food in a chic atmosphere, but Parish gets street cred for making a killer Abita Root Beer Float. Did I mention that the Abita Root Beer is straight from the tap?-Nick
- Six Feet Under- Go to Six Feet Under for their amazing view of Atlanta’s skyline. Seafood is their main game here, and almost everything on the menu is fried! Can’t go wrong with that! -Nick
- Trois- Trois’ atmosphere might remind one of the milk bar in A Clockwork Orange. Everything is trendy, white, and has a sterile feel. It’s interesting, but not as much as the food. The chef here puts a modern twist on classic French cuisine, and their award-winning mixologist, Eric Simpkins, uses his skill to create unique and tasty cocktails to accompany your meal. In short, Trois is a truly unforgettable experience. -Nick
- Two Urban Licks- Big, cavernous, and noisy, Two Urban Licks is a great place to hang out, have a nice meal, and see great live music all in the same place. -Nick
- The Varsity- The Varsity is… well, it is what it is. It’s one of America’s first fast food restaurants, and it’s still very much the same as when it first opened. Good for a fun trip or a milkshake, but not necessarily the best meal. -Nick
- The Vortex- The Vortex is known for several things: tattoos, indoor smoking, beer… but mostly, bugers are the reason to go the Vortex. Topping their list of amazing burgers is the legendary Double Bypass. Are you ready for a burger made three fried eggs, four slices of American cheese, and five slices of bacon, with two grilled cheese sandwiches replacing the buns? I don’t think you are. -Nick

One of my friends is moving to Atlanta next week and he is always on the look-out for new and great places to eat. I will definitely pass your article along to him. Thank you for sharing.

Your blog just made me really hungry for Cajun! I live up north so there aren’t many places that have good Cajun, but the next trip I may have to take it to Atlanta!

Six Feet Under sounds like a great place to eat! There aren’t many skylines that can beat Atlanta’s. This is at the top of my list to try out next.

There is nothing better than extremely fresh seafood! I live and work right outside of Atlanta and going to the Fish Market is worth the commute!

What a great list of places in Atlanta! Though I haven’t had it, the Double Bypass makes me have a heart attack just reading what it is!

My favorite place in Atlanta is next to the CNN center. I’m not sure of the name – I am not a southerner, but the food was fried fish and the hospitality was amazing.

I felt the same way about Trois as it reminded me of a ‘Clockwork Orange’. Atlanta has so many great tasty attractions as it seems to benefit from the diversity of east/west/north and south.

Whenever I see the day when I do not like to talk again when I spoke I was afraid to look at days.
