"Becomes the first Atlanta restaurant to lose its Michelin star in the updated guide because it no longer offers its dinner tasting menu." - Henna Bakshi
"Open two nights a week for dinner in the Old Fourth Ward, this warmly attended-to spot pairs an open kitchen, exposed brick, and a high ceiling with a convivial vibe for an evening of talented cooking. A contemporary tasting menu flips the script with a hearty, far-from-fussy approach—perhaps a cabbage course that sings with character and flavor—leading to a thick slice of grilled sirloin steak with a crispy morel mushroom and a wedge of grilled gem lettuce dotted with tiny florets of sprouting cauliflower, before finishing with a spot-on citrus tart with honeycomb candy." - Michael He
"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
