25 Classic Restaurants In Atlanta
"This 1982-founded, Atlanta-born franchise has discipled the gospel of lemon pepper wings like no other. Their slightly unkempt original location on North Avenue isn’t our favorite Crickets (in fact, we ranked them), but it’s an undeniable part of the city’s food lore. So we’ll roll into this late-night spot after a long, hard night of celebrating and order a 10-piece Dirty Bird (a wild mix of mild, barbecue, and lemon pepper sauces) and fries. Yeah, the wings are itsy-bitsy and are sometimes fried a little hard, but Crickets is family." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
