"Staplehouse comes alive during Atlanta’s warmer months, when the Edgewood Avenue restaurant starts to feel more like a neighbor’s backyard soiree than a restaurant. The casual grab-a-number setup has an American menu that’s consistently outstanding. There are seasonal specials, like the garlicky, lightly battered, cornmeal-crusted crab claws that preserve the delicacy of the meat but still deliver the right crunch. And their pizza comes with a crust that’s charred just enough to crackle at the edge and sliced, salty pieces of housemade pepperoni. Yes, an everyday food but thoughtfully made and worth slowing down for. And you should, especially in the courtyard, where kids play with sidewalk chalk, dogs rest under picnic tables, and their cottage-style garden practically begs for recognition by the American Horticultural Society." - nina reeder, jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Food quality is described as unmatched and consistently excellent; the market-like atmosphere allows for a quicker experience when needed, and the back patio is especially appealing in warm weather." - Henna Bakshi
"Open For: Lunch (closed Monday to Wednesday) Price Range: $$ Newly one-Michelin-starred Staplehouse serves some incredible pies Friday through Sunday for lunch, noon to 4 p.m. They have a classic pepperoni, and the white pizza is a must-order with chanterelles, caramelized onions, fennel, smoked burrata, and broccoli. There are plenty of great wines at Stapelhouse, so be sure to pair a bottle with pizza (Lambrusco, anyone?) and tuck in on their garden patio out back. Staplehouse will no longer serve its tasting menu for dinner, and instead, the market hours will expand into the evening. And that means, more pizza! Best For: Seasonal ingredients and garden seating" - Eater Staff
"When your small lunch plans suddenly turns entouragey, take everybody to Staplehouse on Edgewood. Their counter-service eliminates tab-splitting nightmares, and with several tables spread out across the casual back courtyard, you won’t have to search hard for seating. Nothing here looks overly manicured—instead it has the feel of someone’s lush backyard, including the vine-covered walls. Huddle with your group at a table, passing charcuterie boards and bottles of wine. Since the mostly American menu is centered on farm-fresh ingredients, the featured seasonal dishes should never be ignored. But it’s also not wrong to go with tried-and-true favorites like the hearty meatball sub." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Hit this Edgewood restaurant during the day when the atmosphere is relaxed and everyone orders at the counter (dinner is prix fixe and reservation-only). All the action takes place in Staplehouse’s back courtyard, which has vine-covered walls and a pebble garden. Its picnic tables fill up with people talking about a public radio segment or families on a playdate with quiet dogs and loud kids. And the American menu has something to please everyone, from comforting meatball subs to sliced-to-order charcuterie platters, and water bowls and treats for the other dining guests." - jacinta howard, nina reeder, juli horsford
