The Porter Eatery Adventure


So, me and Chris have decided to be a little adventurous and try some new places to eat in Atlanta. We are very similar people, in that we go to the same restaraunt and order the same entree' every time we go out. So, one of our goals (of many) is going to be trying several new restaurants inside the perimeter.

Based on UbanSpoon's listings, we went through everything with a rating of 85% or higher.

Then we had to knock out places that we have been to, and the places we went before without the other.

Based on The UrbanSpoon's listing with above 85% rating, we have already fullfilled these restraunts:

Willys Mexicana Grill (one of our regulars)

Eclipse De luna (where we went for my bachelorette party)

Piece of Cake (treats from work)

Noche (a great tapa bar to meet girlfriends at)

Fado' Irish Pub (a famous bar we've both enjoyed)

Meehan's Public House (celebrated a few friends birthdays)

Canoe (a use to be favorite - but pretty pricey)

Mellow Mushroom (a regular pizza joint for us)

Einstein's (Where I use to get coffee and bagels before college classes)

Maggiano's (Where I ate for most my proms and where Chris takes me for important times - like our engagment)

Fellini's Pizza (a must try in Brookhaven - a mom and pop pizzaria)

The Melting Pot (a great Fondue place to over-eat at).

Figo's Pasta (a very good place to get 'to order' pasta')

Stoney River (an expensive, but great place for steaks - where I went for my bday!)

Flying Biscuit (where my work sometimes provides breakfast from - great biscuits!)

Marlow's Tavern (another one of our favorites - a cozy atmosphere)

Jocks and Jills ( a great place to watch a football game - one of our regulars)

Shane's Rib Shack (not my favorite place for bbq)

Three Dollar Cafe (a great place to have a wide variety of food)

Chick-fil-a (a place everyone has been!)

Chipotle (good mexican!)

Raging Burrito & Taco (great street-side place in Decatur)

Fresh To Order (kind of like a Moes for salads)

Johnny Rockets (great burgers)

J Christophers (brunch is excellent there!)

Jersey Mikes (good if you like subs)

Papa Johns (everyone has had)

Taco mac (a real regular of ours - great for football games and queso)

Teds montana grill (where we always go when we have dinner w our folks)

The Cheesecake Factory (a lot of food for your buck - also, awesome chocolate cake!)

Atkin's Park Tavern (great place to meet friends out in Virginia highlands)

La Parrilla (a must go - if you like mexican)

Yoforia Yogurt (awesome place for a do-it-urself, low-fat yogurt)

Buffalo Wild Wings (great wings!)

Little Azio (great, fast, italian, sit-down, without the waiter)

Panera Bread (still one of my fav breakfast spots)

Longhorns (good steak and salmon and fries)

Krispey Creme (the best, melt-n-ur-mouth donuts)

Eddie's Attic (great to go see live musicians play, and have great food)

Chow Baby (its tempting to get the 'all u can eat' orders for $2 more, but the regular is plenty!)

Caribou Coffee (a good coffee place, a spot me and chris went to after church when we were dating).

Pig'n'chick (another work delivery for our lunches)

Roasters (good chick!)

Firehouse (where Chris has become a patron of)



Now, our listing of new restaurants:
