There's a FT Dining area where you might get better responses.
Best off-airport food at ATL:
Barbecue Kitchen, Virginia Avenue near Holiday Inn (no CC, cash only) meat and three with free re-orders on veggies. A quick cab ride from terminal.
In the terminals: Friday's or Chili's. Houlihans is okay but slow, slow, slow.

Wall Street Deli is in the food court at the center of Concourse A. Right next to it is a good "southern food" type place, but for the life of me I can't remember the name. When you find wall street deli, it's just a booth or two down to the left. It is ESPECIALLY good if you're in ATL for breakfast time.

Assuming you are not talking about airport food, I'd give the following suggestions:
Brasserie Le Coze - owned by the same people as Le Bernandin (sp?) in NYC. Located at Lenox Mall (but not you're typical mall restaurant.)
Anis Bistro - real French people work here, which may or may not be a good thing
but that is rare for the South! Located in Buckhead.
Floataway Cafe - Upscale fusion food. Located near Emory University. If you have more time (& money) and a reservation, try Bacchanalia, which has the same owners.
Joel - Hmmm... another French restaurant (There is a theme here it seems!) Very trendy at the moment.
Eatzis - An upscale take-out chain store. Very good if you are in a hurry and have a car. Located in Buckhead.

Le Coze at Lenox is easily accessible from MARTA.
If you're leaving the airport, though, there is a new restaurant (<1 year) in downtown College Park (yes, one MARTA stop away) just a short walk from the station.
Andy's or something (a single name) which is in a dilapidated downtown strip in College Park but is apparently so busy you can barely get in.
Sorry I don't have the name but it's supposedly terrific!
The name of the restaurant for Southern food (meat and 3) is Paschal's

I really like the Buckhead Diner. You can get to it by riding the MARTA to either the Buckhead or Lennox station. It is located off of Piedmont. They have such wonderful things as veil meatloaf, home made potato chips with bleu cheese, fabulous fish, etc. The service is excellent and efficient. There is often a wait.

Here are my favs:
Atrium: The Atlanta Bread Co.
T: Don't really ever visit
A: Great Wraps (we (airport employees) get a 15% discount)
B: Benjamin Books & Café (a healthy serving of various types of pasta and a choice o large sandwhich w/o a drink for $6.88)
C: Wendy's (b/c sometimes you just want a Frosty)
D: Never venture out there
E: Mandarin Express (their b'fast is great for $3.13 (and the line for B.K. is always a mile long too))
So.....there are my choices. When/if I get a chance to have a sit down meal w/ friends, we usually just go to TGI Fridays (B) or Chili's (on A).

Had to spend a night at ATL. .Marriott a few months ago--Barbeque restaurant was decent --& the servers were exceptionally nice. Big-screen TVs for all of Altanta-based sports. All in all, a nice experience.

If we had a moderator on this board, they would have moved this thread to either the FT Dining, or if they so determine the question concerns Hartsfield, the FT Airports forum. Of course we all know where onic will receive the best responses.
When we do get a moderator, I hope that Randy is wise enough to choose one of our regulars who will use common sense and apply it to our posts.

There's a restaurant in Terminal E in the center area (the food court's on the left, it's on the right). I haven't eaten there but the menu looks pretty good for airport food. Crab cakes and steaks and such, not too expensive. Good bar.
Several Chick-Fil-As, and at least one Atlanta Bread Company. Chili's in Terminal A.

Back on topic, there is at least one Krystal in Terminals A/B.
Dining doesn’t get a whole lot better than that IMHO.....
