The Best Restaurants in Athens, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"Another barbecue spot in North Georgia? Yep. Home cooking and chef and owner Ken Manring’s culinary mastery intersect at this Boulevard-area haunt to create some seriously impressive barbecue. There’s a robust selection of both omnivorous and vegetarian sandwiches; highlights include the Barberella, the Jason, and the Portobello Cheese Burger. The seared salmon on Independent Baking Company’s ciabatta steers away from barbecue, but its taste makes up for any thematic deviation. A second location in Watkinsville is now open. White Tiger is also BYOB friendly." - Sarra Sedghi
