45+ Black-Owned Restaurants in Atlanta You Should Support!

Atlanta Black-Owned Restaurants

by Nadeen
May 15, 2022
A A

I am excited to finally write a restaurant guide on Black-Owned restaurants in Atlanta. For the past few months you have probably seen a lot of posts supporting Black-Owned businesses. In February I actually wrote a list of Black-Owned Wineries & Businesses. The truth is I have been living in Atlanta for 8 years and have always made a point of supporting Black-Owned restaurants in Atlanta. 

In terms of Atlanta and restaurant guides, I have written my share. You will find posts on my picks on the best overall restaurants in Atlanta, the best brunch spots in Atlanta, best burger restaurants and reviews of annual food & wine festivals. However, although I have been a loyal supporter of Black-Owned restaurants in Atlanta, I have not written a dedicated blog post on this topic, until now. It is never too late to show support for Atlanta black-owned restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, pizzerias, & ice cream parlors.

Since it is the South you can expect to find delicious soul food and southern food at all these restaurants. Expect crispy fried chicken, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese appetizers, scrumptious macaroni and cheese, fluffy biscuits with warm butter, fried chicken with waffles, collard greens, deviled eggs and so much more. But, you can also indulge in delicious seafood, Caribbean food, gourmet pizza, BBG and vegan food.

This list is great if you live in Atlanta or if you are visiting the area. Half of the list is comprised of Atlanta Black-Owned restaurants that I have patronized and personally enjoyed. The other half are Black-Owned restaurants in Atlanta on my to-visit list based on word of mouth and great reviews. They are all located within Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs.

July 2020: Due to COVID19 & Atlanta Restrictions, some restaurants may be closed or offering limited service, outdoor dining or takeout or delivery service only. Please call or check the websites.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the list. I have included information from fellow bloggers on black-owned restaurants in other US cities!

River Cruise vs Ocean Cruise: Which One is Right For You?

  • ***SAVE & SHARE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL! 
How many of these things do you do on a regular basis when you are taking off 🛫 on an international trip?

After the Maui and Morocco natural disasters I started thinking more about these things especially since I visited both places this year. I started to let some of these action items slip! 

In case you missed my LIVE broadcast of “How to Prepare for Natural Disasters While Traveling” you can still catch it on my YouTube channel The Sophisticated Life. But these are some of the highlights! 
https://youtu.be/0hK0LseyX9E?si=B-MCsaQc3Xm_wRM2

And let me tell you about the last one——we are already seeing Flu in our hospital and COVID is NOT going anywhere! So protect yourself! Wear your masks 😷 and please get vaccinated!

  • These memes have been cracking me up all week! 😂😂 
Ever since my husband @parrishu70 and I met a couple in Champagne France 🇫🇷 with the most intense, printed color coded itinerary that even included times for naps 😴 -I kid you not-we have used their terminology of “trips” vs “vacations”. 

TRIPS: usually go go go. You are in a city or place for a limited time so you want to see it all. These are tours and reservations and an itinerary. IE our group trip to Morocco. 5 cities in 9 days! Things have to be organized, you may pack outfits based on activities that are planned and you may be tired when you get back. Hence the term “I need a vacation from my vacation”. 

VACATION: more relaxed. Go with the flow vs reservations and tours. Sleeping in in the mornings. Strolling around locations and popping into places. Relaxing on a beach all day for days at a time. Room service. Being lazy in a comfy bed. Going on a cruise. 

Now it is possible to have a mix of these 2! Over the years I have learned a lot from my husband and since he prefers vacations, even if we visit cities, I make sure we have time to relax and stroll around. AND as I have gotten older I definitely need to recharge with vacations. I do feel energized on trips thou lol. 

How about you? What’s your favorite?

  • Is anyone else holding on to summer like I am? Or are you ready for fall? I have no issue w less humid weather and crisper morning and evening air, I love pumpkin 🎃 but I do know that fall leads to winter and that IS not OK with me!! 

I am already planning my winter 🥶 escapes. And I live in Atlanta!! My skin gets dry, my hands and feet stay cold and I miss feeling the sun 🌞 on my skin!! Maybe it’s my island 🏝️ 🇯🇲 roots lol 

So which one are you? Summer? Fall? Or are you a winter or spring person?

  • My heart is heavy today. I am incredibly sad as I read reports and see the news about the earthquake in Morocco and the effects in Marrakech. 😔😔

As many of you know I traveled with 16 other adventurers for 9 days thru 5 cities in Morocco 🇲🇦 just 3 months ago!!! 

We met so many incredible people. Of course after being on the road that long together we felt close to our guides and drivers. I even had a meeting with two of the team members yesterday while they were in Marrakech and the earthquake happened a few hours later. 

My mind quickly went to them and all the people in my pictures wondering and hoping that they were safe. So far they are. But the death toll is over 1,000 and homes are crumbling. It’s a disaster. 

As a physician this also made me wonder—-are you prepared to handle a natural disaster while traveling? Do you know what to do? Do you have things in order before you go on vacation? Let’s talk about it tomorrow evening LIVE here on Instagram and Facebook at 5pm PT and 8 pm ET. You can share your thoughts on the Maui fires as well. My husband and I were in Maui in April and I’m still trying to comprehend that places we visited are gone. People have lost so much the past few months. Please stay safe. But let’s also get prepared! 

Sound off in the comments with any questions you would like answered tomorrow night! 

Swipe left to see pics from cities all over Morocco 🇲🇦 the people make the place ❤️

  • Do you have a favorite spa in your city 🌆 that you go to regularly?
I do but recently I tried a new one and it was VERY RELAXING! 

I have been to @stregisatl several times over the years but this was my first time using the spa. I had their version of an aromatherapy massage with hot stone add on. 

A few things I truly enjoyed..
1) the changing rooms and relaxation areas were spacious. There was even a “blush room” if you wanted to change in private. 
2) clean showers, saunas and steam rooms (the steam was too hot so I couldn’t stay in there 😣)
3) after my treatment I was offered Prosecco OR at St.Germaine spritzer! I went for the spritzer and it was pretty and refreshing 😋
4) the cool rags and cucumber slices-I took advantage of everything! Lol but it did help my headache 
5) it was not crowded-I always make weekday appointments for the spa. 
6) I was offered macarons and chocolates! I think this was a first for me. I received my own little tray and they were delicious! 
7) The St.Regis does Champagne 🍾sabrage every evening at 6pm. So I ended my spa day with a glass of Champagne 🥂!

The only down side is you have to be a hotel guest to use the pool. I brought my bathing suit ready to relax there and have a late lunch but nope. 

Have you been to this spa or a StRegis spa near you?

  • ***SAVE FOR YOUR TRIP TO WASHINGTON DC! 
For those of you that have been following me you know how serious I am about supporting Black-Owned businesses when I travel.

Earlier this month I traveled to Washington DC for the inaugural “Future of Black Tourism” conference held by @blacksintourism . It was an epic event! 

Prior to the conference I spent 2 days exploring Loudoun County Virginia thanks to @visitloudoun Funny story-I used to work at Loudoun County hospital as a physician over 20 years ago! It was hard to believe I was returning as a wine writer and content creator  with @wsetglobal degree! 

Northern Virginia is now a booming wine region and also the location of the 5-star luxury Black-Owned resort @salamanderresort in Middleburg-owned by Sheila Johnson. I was able to take a look around the grounds and it is lovely. 

“The Family Reunion” event in collaboration with @chefkwameonwuachi took place there this past weekend. It is in its 3rd year. I haven’t been yet but I have seen & heard good things. Tickets sell out fast and it’s a lux $$ item so start planning! 

I did spend a few nights @salamanderhoteldc It was the former Mandarin Oriental and there are plans for further renovations including the spa. I loved the spacious room and bathroom. 

These are just 2 of the Salamander properties located in the US and Caribbean. Have you stayed in any of them? Remember, you do not have to be Black to support Black-owned businesses! 

Please like, comment & share!
