The 16 Best Restaurants Near Mercedes-Benz Stadium & State Farm Arena - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"After watching a grueling loss or stressful win in the arena, you don’t want to think about dinner plans. And that’s where Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, a casual, utilitarian restaurant at the base of Peachtree Center, comes in. Stop here for just-crispy-enough chicken, slices of white bread, and none of the do-you-have-a-reservation foolishness. If your friends want the pomp, fine, let’em go elsewhere. More fried okra and ranch dipping sauce for you." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
