25 Classic Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Spondivits has been a crab-cracking pillar by the airport since disco ruled the charts. Unapologetic about the sticky patio booths or the fact it’s hours from an ocean, Spondivits ain’t a vibe and feels kinda pricey for the divey atmosphere. But even in the dark dining space, we see why people still dig it here—the seafood isn’t bad. The steamed shrimp and crab bucket is filling, it’s flavorful, and it is pretty photogenic. And the surf and turf is generous. Spondivits isn’t the destination for a romantic dinner. But if you like your claws with a cold beer and Old ATL energy, you’ll love it here." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
