Staplehouse

The 25 Best Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Staplehouse comes alive during Atlanta’s warmer months, when the Edgewood Avenue restaurant starts to feel more like a neighbor’s backyard soiree than a restaurant. The casual grab-a-number setup has an American menu that’s consistently outstanding. There are seasonal specials, like the garlicky, lightly battered, cornmeal-crusted crab claws that preserve the delicacy of the meat but still deliver the right crunch. And their pizza comes with a crust that’s charred just enough to crackle at the edge and sliced, salty pieces of housemade pepperoni. Yes, an everyday food but thoughtfully made and worth slowing down for. And you should, especially in the courtyard, where kids play with sidewalk chalk, dogs rest under picnic tables, and their cottage-style garden practically begs for recognition by the American Horticultural Society." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
