Re: [85attendees] Hamburger places in ATL

[Derek Atkins <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

This list leaves out a bunch of restaurants in West Midtown.  There are
a bunch of restaurants on (or just off) Howell Mill between 10th and
Collier, including the Original FLIP Burger Boutique, Yeah Burger,
Taqueria del Sol, 5 Seasons Brewery, 6 feet under, and many more that I
can't think of off the top of my head.

I agree that the FLIP in Buckhead isn't as good.. I much prefer the food
at the FLIP in West Midtown, the original.  But I would disagree with
the comments; I think it's better than Farmburger.  (I also happen to
know the person who designed the interior, but that's beside the point).

The Highlands (VH) is a quaint neighborhood.  La Tavola has decent food
but it can be hit-or-miss, and they probably wouldn't handle large
parties well.

In Decatur there is not only Leon's but its sister place but the
BrickStore, which is known for its beer selection.  It has about 24
beers on tap, and book of about 1000 bottled beers from all over the
world.  It can get crowded, but might be able to handle larger groups if
you call ahead.  If you don't then you might be limited in size.

If you want something good and local and are willing to spend then yes,
Rathbun's is great!

There is a lot of good food around Atlanta, but unfortunately most of it
is going to be a ride away from the Hilton.

Welcome to Atlanta!
