Decatur Is Judged One Of Country’s Best Suburbs For Foodies

Decatur has been named as one of the best suburbs in the country for food lovers.

A new list from Thrillist released this month identified 11 suburbs that the publication says have “true destination-worthy-eats.”

Here’s what Thrillist had to say about Decatur and the eateries that earned it a spot on the list:

"The drive in and out of Decatur definitely isn’t greater, but when it comes to the dining and drinking scene, ATL’s feasty eastside suburb has it all figured out. If you love oysters and you haven’t had them at Kimball House -- half-priced -- you’ve been cheated. If you like Indian food and nobody’s recommended Chai Pani or Tava, your palate is basically Ben Kingsley. If you think Ford Fry is a genius restaurateur and haven’t been to No. 246, you don’t really know what the hell you’re talking about, Willis. Actually, disregard that whole commuting problem, because no MARTA stop puts you within easy walking distance (as in less than a block) of so many seriously dope restaurants and bars, such as Revival, The Pinewood, The Iberian Pig, Leon’s Full Service, and Brick Store Pub. And even the ones that aren’t considered premium are still pretty damn good, whether you’re hitting Farm Burger, Raging Burrito, ir Victory Sandwich Bar. Yeah, there’s good food all around ATL metro, but if you want to make sure your dining dollars are well-spent, put your money on The Dec."

Below is the full list of towns on the list:

Annandale, Virginia
Beaverton, Oregon
Bellevue, Washington
Dearborn, Michigan
Decatur, Georgia
Dublin, Ohio
Evanston, Illinois
Larkspur, California
Pearland, Texas
Round Rock, Texas
Winter Park, Florida
