9 Great LGBTQ+-Owned Atlanta Restaurants - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Serving up the soul food of the Gullah Geechee communities of the coastal South, Virgil’s in West Midtown is always a good time—whether for happy hour, nights backed by karaoke or hip-hop bingo, or just to unwind with a very strong Geecheerita and hookah after work. With pulsating music that seems to energize every single seat from the bar to the two-level patio, you’ll still ask to keep the tab open even if you’re full. And that's likely since portions are big here. We’re fans of the Slammin Sammen, which features blackened salmon smothered in a creamy crab sauce, with a side of jasmine rice. Brunch, while delicious, can get packed, but you can head to the College Park location, which is a smidge less crowded." - rachel garbus
