A CASUAL COASTAL OASIS ON THE HISTORIC DECATUR SQUARE
Bomb Biscuit Atlanta
CL: CL’s Cliff Bostock Recommends: Are you looking for a new substance addiction? Go to this former pop-up now in Irwin Street Market for Erika Council’s buttermilk biscuits. Specifically go for the breakfast sandwiches. Most people love the fried chicken breast, especially good when drenched in hot honey, but my favorite is the country ham. By all means follow the menu’s suggestion to add the housemade pimento cheese. You won’t believe it. Erika is also making cinnamon buns. — CB
Bomb Biscuits, 660 Irwin St., 678-949-9439. Open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thurs. & Fri. and 9 a.m.-2p.m. Sat. & Sun. Order online only at bombiscuital.com, IG: @bombbiscuitatl.com
Website: Bomb Biscuits started in 2016 as part of a pop up Sunday Supper dinner series Erika Council hosted around the city of Atlanta. Eventually she collaborated with Bryan Furman of B’s Cracklin BBQ to serve breakfast at his then newly opened Riverside neighborhood restaurant. Everything was a bi...

Botica
CL: CL’s Cliff Bostock Recommends: If you’re looking for Mexican food partly spiked with Italian, Spanish, and Lebanese flavors in a restaurant with countless sports-watching screens and an awesome patio, this is your best destination. Opened by Chef Mimmo Alboumeh, the former owner of Red Pepper Taqueria, the restaurant’s best choice by far is the paella
served at dinner on Wednesdays. Among the best tacos are lamb birria and the pork pibil. If you want a starter to share, consider the gigantic and dramatic tamales coated in white crema, sitting in a pool of salsa morita. You can drink a lot here. - CB
Website: Chef Mimmo opened the doors of Botica in 2021, inspired by the flavors of Spain and Mexico offering elevated, chef-driven Mexican cuisine. Located in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Botica showcases Mimmo’s unique brand of hybrid gastronomy.

Steinbeck’s Ale House
Upon first glance, you might dismiss this Irish-style pub in Oakhurst, just minutes from downtown Decatur, as nothing more than a small, comfy hole-in-the-wall with a nice outdoor patio. But the menu of slightly upscale bar food (try the Double Double burger) and Sunday brunch, not to mention the sa...

Wrecking Bar Brewpub
A comfortable restaurant in an uncooperative space with heavy stone walls in the basement of a Victorian-style home. There’s a lot of wood everywhere, including a bar that is virtually hidden from much of the dining room. Farm-to-table food. Great original brews.
