The 16 Best Downtown Atlanta Restaurants

"Though you’re so close to the College Football Hall of Fame that you can almost hear the call from the huddle, Twin Smokers doesn’t feel (or taste) like a tourist trap. There’s real wood on these floors, and that’s a real smoker out back. But don’t take our word for it. Look at the char on that juicy dinosaur beef rib. The smoked chicken and brisket here are moister than they are at many popular spots around town. But just when we’re about to anoint this a real BBQ joint, they’re flagged for neglecting to include french fries and baked beans on their menu." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
