Are there any decent restaurants close to the Atlanta airport?

Question

I'm meeting my husband there tomorrow (he has a 5-hour layover), and I'm looking for somewhere close by where we can have an early dinner. I know lots of places around the city, but nothing really down that way. By the time he gets his bags and checks back in, we'll really just have 3 hours or so, so I don't want to spend too much time driving around. Suggestions?

Answer 1

All the local top hotels have good restaurants...like the Hilton or the Westin, but depending on what you're in the mood for, there are a couple of good choices on Virginia Ave. that I would recommend.

The Barbecue Kitchen just north of I-85 is a good place to eat your basic meat-two veggies-biscuit and ice tea at, and it's only like $6.99 or so for a meal...nothing fancy, just good home style cooling.

If you're in the mood for a little more upscale, but what I would call a good sports bar, then Spondivits on the south side of I-85 is a great choice.  Great seafood.

I live in Marietta, but any time I've ever found myself in the airport area, around any meal time, these are my two picks.
