The lobster roll and chips at Lapeer Seafood Market in Alpharetta, GA

As a landlocked city, Atlantans are not accustomed to having boat loads of Maine lobster at the ready and served at nearly every seafood restaurant in town. But for those Atlanta-area restaurants making the effort to bring these crustaceans into ATL, expect some creative twists on the classic New England sandwich. The lobster roll may be pricier here than up North, but consider shelling out for the sandwiches at these restaurants around Atlanta.
