China Garden Carrollton, GA
If you're lookin' for the Chinese buffet with the most variety in Carrollton, GA, ... This is THE place! Some of my favorites include: muscles, stuffed clams, cheese fried shrimp, crab rangoon, potato wedges, mushrooms, long baby corn, chicken (or pork or steak) (a million different ways), steamed green beans, sushi, cheesecake, and coffee flavored ice cream. I didn't see any dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with rice), but I only went to 2 of the 5 self-service buffet tables. Mmm -- Can't wait to go back!
Varsity Atlanta, GA
Great -- AbSoLUtely the BEST chili dawgZ you will find on this planet, and maybe the Universe! The Varsity was one of my favorite places to eat in Hot'Lanta whenever I was there. I almost always got two chili dogs (or one "Heavy Dawg" -- that's one hot dog and TWICE the chili) "all the way" and added ketchup and red/cayenne pepper, onion rings, and an F.O. (frosted orange) or a couple of P.C(s). (plain chocolate milk over shaved ice). I have come to know that it is much easier to eat this meal while sitting at one of their tables in one of their many TV rooms. It is MUCH harder to eat this while driving home -- MUCH! One very memorable time, I took a "first date" to The Varsity. I met three of my friends who were already there. As I was standing in line, some person kinda pushed my back. I was about to turn around and give them "what for" when I saw Mom with the silliest grin on her face. Of course, I didn't give her "what for" -- just a simple hug from her only child. The Varsity always brings back many fond memories like that one and the more times I go back, the more memories I make.
Dinner's Ready Villa Rica, GA
Dinner's Ready is a great place to eat! Dad and I shared lunch with his Sunday school class. It was not crowded, but with such tasty food and excellent service, I'm betting the word will get out on how great a place this is. They started us off with a Fried Pork Skin. After that, both Dad and I had the Hamburger Steak. It was cooked to order, which for us meant Well Done. It had that sorta "smokey, charcoaly" taste. It was the best hamburger steak I've had in I can't remember when. I chose to order the Cream Corn and the Fried Okra as my two vegetables. Both were excellent. I chose the Yeast Roll and Dad chose the Cornbread. We were both pleased. For dessert, I went with the "Dessert of the Day", which was a moist and fluffy cake with Peanut Butter icing. To drink, I had a Diet Coke which, of course, came with unlimited refills. The food was great. The service was great. The only thing that made it better was good company. This is one restaurant I can't wait to visit again and again!
Melear Barbecue Fayetteville, GA
Undoubtedly, "The Best of The Best" of all barbeque restaurants in Georgia and quite possibly the world. There used to be another Melear's Barbecue in Union City, Ga. While it was open, it was #1. Now that they're gone (and after observing a moment of silence for the passing of a Legend), the one in Fayetteville, Ga has filled the void of the #1 spot. As some other fans of barbeque joints have said about their favorite establishment, "There's #1 and then there's everybody else." That's how I feel about Melear's. It's the best -- no questions asked! You can't possibly get any better than The Best. That's why you call it The Best. It makes me hungry just thinking about them. I can't wait to go back. And did I mention the Brunswick stew and Sweet Tea? It's the best. They make Brunswick stew "the way it's supposed to be made -- without weird ingredients like Butter Beans." Don't get me wrong. I love Butter Beans, but not in my Brunswick stew. It's a Southern thang -- trust me!
Evergreen Chinese Restaurant Carrollton, GA
Not only the best Chinese restaurant in Carrollton -- possibly the best in Georgia. You'd have to travel hours away to even come close to the quality and service of this place. It's great! And, it's been WAY too long since I've been there. In addition to a lunch buffet, you can order from the menu at lunch and supper "in person" or over the phone and have your order ready to be picked up when you arrive in a little while. All ages and attires are welcome. One of, if not the very BEST Chinese restaurants I've had the pleasure of eating at in my lifetime!
Mama Stone's Country Kitchen Carrollton, GA
Several meats, vegetables, beverages, and desserts are represented. I had fried chicken livers, sweet potato soufflé, black-eyed peas, cornbread, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, macaroni and cheese, some sort of chocolate dessert that looked like a cousin to the vanilla cheesecake with which I ended the meal. This buffet was $5.75, I think. And for my beverage, I chose the "all so rare" Diet Mountain Dew which got refilled more than once for less than $2.00, I think. A great meal, only made better by our pleasant Sunday lunch companions ("The Lunch Bunch") from church.
The Steak House Rockmart, GA
I ate at The Steak House Saturday, October 20th, 2007. There was almost no wait time since we arrived around 4:45 p.m. Later on, as we were leaving, some other folks had been waiting, but I'm unsure how long. Most, if not all, of the entrées came with a side salad, plenty of fresh, hot, and tasty rolls for the whole table, and choice of a side from French fries, baked potato, baked sweet potato, etc., and steamed vegetables. I had the steamed vegetables which consisted of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. They were all very tasty and a bit crisp. For the entrée, it was hard to choose between old favorites of steaks, barbeque, and chicken. I was about to choose barbeque, when out of another dimension appeared the listing for Chicken Livers. Of course, I chose the Chicken Livers. They can come battered and deep fried OR sautéed in butter. Both are probably great. I chose the fried. At the end of my order, in addition to water and Diet Coke, I asked for a cup of decaf coffee to be served at the end of my meal. It was delivered at just the right time and really hit the spot as did the whole meal. The Chicken Livers happened to be one of the cheaper priced choices at less than $8.00. The Diet Coke was a little under $2. And, as far as I could tell, the coffee was complementary. Since there was no buffet, takeout trays were not a problem. I would readily recommend The Steak House (in Rockmart, Ga) to everyone. I had a great time and would like to visit again.
