The Varsity 61 North Ave NW (404) 881-1706
Greasy, fun favorites include the chili-cheese steak (a diminutive hamburger with chili and American or pimiento cheese), crispy batter-fried onion rings and a defiantly messy slaw dog. Wash it all down with the locally renowned FO, or frosted orange, and finish with a fried apple pie.


The Fickle Pickle 1085 Canton Street, Roswell 30075 770-650-9838
Hours: Open seven days a week from 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
The restaurant is in an old home, so it doesn’t feel like the same old place. The kids will love checking out all the action – watching other people definitely makes for an interesting pastime. The kid’s menu has tons of variety. Each meal comes with chips, a cookie and drink, and is only $4.95. Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing and chewy cookies will complete your meal, but be sure to order them with your meal – they tend to sell out of the crowd favorites.

Osteria 832 832 N Highland Ave NE (404) 897-1414
