The Eater 38 is an attempt to answer the question, “Can you recommend a restaurant?” It is a curated list of restaurants covering the entire metro Atlanta area — both inside and outside the perimeter — spanning myriad cuisines and price points.
Clever solutions for providing hospitality throughout the pandemic run the gamut now in Atlanta, and continue to impact the dining landscape here. Restaurants are building all-weather patios and transforming parking spaces into outdoor seating areas, installing takeout windows and outdoor kitchen areas, offering robust to-go options on the menu, and even launching side businesses.
With all these factors in mind, the Eater 38 has been updated for the first time in the new year and includes longtime Atlanta staples, restaurants with loyal followings, and those really stepping up to the challenges brought on by the health crisis. The restaurants listed below have also been open for six months or longer and were selected to not only reflect the changes the pandemic has created, but to properly showcase the impressive diversity of Atlanta’s dining scene. Removal from the Eater 38 does not mean a restaurant isn’t still great and won’t return in the future, but allows for new additions, keeping the 38 a fresh, inclusive, and representative list.
