The Official Atlanta Thread: Roswell Residents Need Not Respond

Yea, business is good.

Finally, some multi-unit housing on dresden!

Because that's what that little slice of bottleneck heaven needed more of.

 

New townhomes going in Edgewood too i think.

Also, a rendering is out for a 400+ post apartment complex near centennial park. I'd like to live down there some time.

 

Hopslam at Brick Store

 

Saw blondie today. Life goal complete

 

I hear The French Tickler and him are besties now.

 

Is Beetlecat any good? Went there on Saturday night, but the wait was 90 minutes, so I bowed out and just walked across the street to Pure where the wait was 5 minutes.

Beetlecat smelled nice even if a little stuffy.

 

grabbed a drink there a couple weeks ago and it was packed so I got out after one. with you on the smells though. would like to try it for dinner sometime.

 

so Big Tex in Decatur may have something going on. it was serving solely as a kitchen that supports Fox Bros catering since it closed but now they are apparently moving that operation closer to Sweetwater. they said they aren't going to open up a second Fox Bros location at Big Tex, but that they want to do something with it.

I really hope they do, that's a nice spot that's off the beaten path of the square and has some serious potential. Never went to Big Tex before it closed but I heard good things.

 

I went once. It was okay. Doesn't touch Fox Bros.

 

Well yeah, I just heard for what it was it was good.

They should just do the Fox Bros wings and burger there and have a ton of beers.

 

It's more a WSP cover band place. Clownbaby and I have heard many a different versions of Disco there in our day.

 

Well, after asking for Valentines recs in this thread not too long ago, looks like I am single again.

Time to learn to like Buckhead, I guess.

 

Go to any bar on Saturday night, meet sad lonely girl, profit

 

Mostly unnecessary. Stick to the dating apps and you'll have access to the same girls without having to be at the ivy on saturday nights.

 

I'll be in ATL this weekend and plan on eating at Kevin Rathbun steak, is it any good? I'm really looking forward to this, and hoping it is lol.

 

not sure if sarcasm but yes

 

KRS is solid but borderline top 5 Atl steak house for me. I'd go:

1. Hal's
2. NY prime
3. Bones
4. Capital Grille
5. KRS or Chops

 

Nope, I really wanna know. I know steak houses in general on TMB can be a big thing. I'm just curious in the general feedback in this place, if it's worth a try or not...

 

Solid list, my all time favorite of Highland Tap is an honorable mention.

 

I think she tried to get into NY prime Friday and they were booked. KRS had one slot left and we took it....

 

Still a very solid steak house and one you will enjoy

 

V

Very much so yes.

 

I've got Iberian Pig reservations for Friday and Agave for Saturday, will pick one depending on her schedule.

 

NY Prime is a chain. Rathbun's is the best in the city. The chef himself is awesome. You are going to love it.

I just can't take chains seriously in any discussion.

 

Tried Bacchanalia this weekend. Due to some confusion we ended up having duck 5 different ways. It was awesome. Definitely pricey, but worth it.

 

there are franchising opportunities it passes the smell test for me

and its affiliated with the Tavern at Phipps. Say no more.

 

It's difficult to decide which of these statements is more absurd. Rathbun's isn't even close to the best in Atlanta and the fact that there are 2 more NY Prime's in America doesn't change the fact that it's fantastic. Fox Bros is about to have 3 locations, can it be taken seriously once they open the new ones? Rathbun has 4 restaurants anyway, so it's also a chain just different variations on the concept at each

 

Hell no! Fox Bros is immediately going to go down to McDonald's McRib level as soon as the doors open on the others.

 

Hal's is probably the douchiest place I've ever been. I'll take my steak with out their pretentiousness

 

2nd lamest place after Hals

 

Upscale Buckhead Hooters, all the girls are for hire outside of the restaurant.

 

Been to Hal's, Bones, cap city, and Rathbun steak.

Rathbun steak is my favorite steakhouse. Best sides in recorded history. Tremendous vibe and decor. It was voted best in the nation. Take it with a grain of salt, however, as you have to actually put effort to land on any list. You also have to be in that top tier.

For me, all Top Tier steak is the same. They're all in 'the best food you will ever eat' category. It's salt, pepper, and the cut of meat.

 

Are you the guy that rides his bike down peachtree during rush hour? Hal's is not pretentious at all

 

but its making lots of money

Hal's is your typical try-too-hard steak place. Not my speed but I could see it if Buckhead and new money is your scene. Its good for sure. Rathbun's is essential Atlanta.

 

Nope, cross at 15th to get to the park and then the beltline.

And lmbo at the last comment.

Yes

 

I hate both of those things and I've literally never heard anyone say that about Hal's. My dad loved it when he was here, my wife loves it and it's easily #1 with our monthly steak night group who all live in Midtown or the Highlands

 

Team I hate Hal's but love their steaks
