Be forewarned to pack an appetite for some of the large plates you will find here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q:<\/strong> It is hard to imagine coming to Atlanta and not trying some barbecue. This restaurant offers all the traditional barbecue favorites you would expect. They also offer some less traditional items such as chicken-fried ribs. Make sure you add some sides like their mac and cheese or their Brunswick stew to round out your meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Staplehorse:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re looking for a classy and sumptuous sit-down dinner, this is the choice for you. They offer a variety of beautifully plated dishes that have what seem to be random ingredients that blend well together. If you are not able to get a reservation, try grabbing a spot on the patio or the upstairs cocktail bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More about Atlanta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/travel\/day-trips-from-atlanta-2\/\">5 Day Trips from Atlanta<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/tips\/driving-tips-georgia\/\">Driving Tips for Georgia<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/travel\/road-trip-atlanta-savannah\/\">Georgia Road Trip: What to See from Atlanta to Savannah<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/usa\/atlanta\/\">Car Rental Near Me Atlanta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta is a popular and exciting city found in the southeastern United States.
