"An OG of the booming Main Street strip in College Park, the Corner Grille is separated by a couple of blocks from the patch of other Black-owned restaurants that have helped to revitalize the area across from the College Park MARTA station. But it remains one of the most reliable restaurants in town. Located in an Episcopal church built in 1906, there’s a reverence inside these brick walls —and an expectation of patience, as dishes are cooked to order. The Cajun influence appears in all of the dishes, whether dining on beignets, gumbo, shrimp and grits, or crab cake Benedict. The crowd here is a little less lit, so it’s a safe bet for those seeking drinks paired with good, hearty food at brunch and dinner in an enjoyable atmosphere. A second location opens soon in the former Westside Pizza space on Marietta Boulevard. Order online for takeout. Masks required." - Mike Jordan
