Description:
BUCKHEAD. Just like Atlanta itself, Horseradish Grill's New Southern cuisine manages to reconcile tradition and modernity. The two are brought together with the use of fresh, organic vegetables and the talents of a chef who whips up fried chicken and biscuits, not to mention barbecued duck with Vidalia onions and molasses. At brunch, appetite-grabbers include creamy Logan Turnpike grits with sautéed Gulf shrimp, fire-roasted red peppers and caramelized onions. Idyllic outdoor seating under beautiful oak trees only adds to the appeal.

Description:
MIDTOWN. This comfortable BBQ joint serves the juiciest, most flavorful ribs in town. There's no doubt about it: Matt's is a messy, fun, eat-with-your hands kind of place where you can order a big slab of ribs, a side of slaw and a big glass of sweet tea. You'll also find a variety of different beers. It's a lively place to stop at for a quick bite of lunch (despite the crowds, tables usually become available quickly), but be warned: Fat Matt's maintains an unofficial dress code – ties are permitted only if their knots are loosened. Outdoor dining is available, and live blues or jazz is often featured in the evening.

Vegetables are organic and consistently delicious, and fresh sourdough bread will almost make you forget all about your entree ... almost.

Description:
BUCKHEAD. For a classic American diner-style breakfast, head over to the OK Café, where crisp French toast with maple syrup, bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits, and many other morning favorites are available. Brunch, meanwhile, poses tough questions like, "Will it be the crab and crawfish cakes or the griddlecakes with Granny Smith apples and pecans." At lunch or dinner time, try tender pot roast with homestyle vegetables. The decor is homespun but unique, with folk art and a sparkling open kitchen adding extra pizzazz. All meals are fresh, satisfying, and reasonably priced.

Description:
MIDTOWN. This popular restaurant revels in kitsch – yes, the lunch boxes, board games and Barbie-related collectibles are authentic – and serves delicious Southern fare. How does a Sunday brunch of salmon croquettes, Cajun-fried okra and fried green tomatoes sound? Other down-home favorites include mac-n-cheese fritters, BBQ shrimp served over creamy grits, turkey meatloaf and buttermilk fried chicken. Of course, one of their spicy Bloody Marys is a must. And, oh yes, be sure to save room for a slice of carrot cake ... theirs may just be the best in town. Note: call ahead seating only.

Description:
MIDTOWN. This attractive, remodeled 1920s bungalow has a pleasant dining room dominated by an exhibition-style kitchen. You can watch chefs whip up fantastic Nouveau Southern dishes like barbecued swordfish with cheese grits, pan-fried catfish with mustard greens and warm pepper jelly, and crab hash with poached eggs and Idaho potatoes – just make sure you don't fill up first on the light-as-air biscuits and cornbread. Though the Southern influence is obvious in the menu and the decor, the surroundings and the presentation are thoroughly modern.

Description:
MIDTOWN. A mixture of Low Country cuisine, plenty of seafood, and international accents characterizes the menu at Sweet Lowdown. Local favorites include cornmeal-dusted fried grouper, shrimp and grits, and fried calamari. You'll also find ahi tuna with wasabi creme fraiche and grouper ceviche tacos. Any main dish, however, is simply a prelude to Southern dessert mainstays like Deep South Pecan Pie and Wild Turkey Cappuccino. For dinner and a movie, call to see what's playing on the monthly Indie Film Night.

Description:
WESTSIDE. Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison add to their legendary dossier with this romantic prix fixe restaurant, located a level below Bacchanalia. The fare, billed as New Southern cuisine, relies heavily on ingredients from Quatrano's Southerland Farm near Savannah. The results, not surprisingly, are artfully presented dishes such as sorghum-glazed veal casserole and Kobe short ribs with hedgehog mushrooms. As to the space, Dominick Coyne's design pays homage to the Old South, incorporating earthy tones of beige and chocolate, chandeliers made of hand-blown Venetian glass, antique mirrors, white linens and deep, plush furniture.

Try the Georgia mountain trout with Anson Mills' grits, or for brunch, pheasant ragout with two sunnyside eggs.
