Johnny Cakes

Johnny Cakes Atlanta is a quaint little restaurant that offers breakfast goodness along with other items on their menu. Yesterday I was craving pancakes so I went to my must-eat list and came across Johnny Cakes. They have a full stack which is 4 johnny cakes, candy pecans, strawberries and whipped cream,but one thing we ordered was a croissant french toast. This was the most sweet, cinnamon smelling treat I have ever inhaled (Too bad it was for my son!). They have several healthy meat choices for breakfast from turkey bacon to chicken sausage. I would suggest trying Johnny's on a cold winter day and let their breakfast treats warm your soul!

Romeo's

I recently tried Romeo's NY Pizza. Who doesn't like pizza, right? I think it's the one thing that people spend a lifetime looking for the right slice or made the right way. I got closer when I tried Romeo's in Johns Creek. The toppings are well seasoned, fresh, and taste great. The crust, which is obviously the most important part, is thin, but not too thin, crispy, and fresh. I don't like thick dough so this was a perfect medium. The location is a great place for a quick lunch or a mellow sit down with friends.

R-Rice

Have you every craved Chinese or Asian food but dreaded the empty feeling later or dreading the greasy after-taste? I wanted to order some food that I hadn't tried before. I came across R-Rice Restaurant. They are an asian restaurant that put a fresh spin on classics like pot stickers, "sushi" rolls, and even fish sandwiches. I tried their potsickers and they are like butter. They were fluffy, well-seasoned, and not bland.


Their dynamite deep fried rolls are filled with salmon, crab meat, and asparagus. Dynamite is the right word to express the taste and flavor of these rolls. I actually got some kind of sugar rush from eating them!

The restaurant is a very nice, contemporary restaurant, with bar, that is good for a nice outing with friends or family. The food is very appealing and is prepared with the freshest ingredients. It's menu covers varying tastes with an Asian twist. I would say it's definitely worth a try!

It was so good I forgot to take pictures of the original meal I ordered-I had to find stock pictures! :)

Coldstone Creamery!

I love Coldstones! Many others do but all are not created equal. My home base is the one in the perimeter location. I went to another store in Phoenix, AZ when I went there for my graduation. The lady that made mine didn't break up the candy I requested so I tasted mostly ice cream. It really can ruin your day. Lol! When I asked for extra candy she charged me extra. I
was appalled but I didn't have time to argue with her because I would have missed my graduation! The perimeter location in Atlanta ALWAYS does me right!

Fish Sandwich

Last Saturday me and my friend decided to catch a movie and there was pizza place that was near it that we previously checked out before. Of course it wasn't there anymore. So we decided to hit of the restaurant that had taken its place, 3 Dollar Cafe on chamblee tucker road. It is basically a sports bar. The waitress sggested we try the grouper fingers and blackened grouper sandwich. When she brought out the entree, our sandwich and fries, I couldn't believe how large the gruper fillet was. It was basically the size of an oval dinner plate. It was seasoned well and we were given a massive amount of steak fries, between our entree and appetizer order. The grouper fingers were golden and fried to perfection so much so that expected to bite into a piece of chicken (finger) but  instead it was the most fluffy and flakey portion of grouper. For a great taste of grouper I suggest the 3 Dollar Cafe.

J. Christophers

We woke up late Sunday morning so we decided instead of cooking we would try another local breakfast place. A colleague asked me had I tried J. Christopher's, which I hadn't. So I took the family to the Brookhaven location and it was packed but they have a nice sitting area inside to wait which wasn't long. Sunday was very nice, warm, and slightly windy so we didn't being seated outside. I had their pantry feast with pancakes. They have a alternative if you are trying to watch your weight. My husband had their blueberry pancakes but said that he found the Flying Biscuits pancakes to taste better-which I agree with-but the food was still good. The lemon I requested with my water didn't seem fresh but that's the only real complaint that I had.This is a nice place to go to for breakfast or lunch and meet with friends, have a light lunch and read a book, or watch the people who live locally have a nice afternoon stroll. The artwork here is really nice and I found myself really admiring it. Our waitress, Kim, was really nice and even hugged me before we left.

The Flying what?

Today, I convinced my husband to try this new place in Norcross called the Flying Biscuits. We both like to eat breakfast food at any time of the day. So after passing this place a million times every week, I decided to try it. They had some really appealing things in their menu that had nothing to do with breakfast but pancakes were n my mind. They had a special for the week which were these fluffy blueberry pancakes. I quickly tried these and they were so good. So good in fact that I forgot to take a picture of them before I started eating for everyone to see. :) This place is colorful and even have live music on certain days. It has great artwork, too.
The sausage was chicken sausage, the pancakes had hearty granola in it, and the staff is very polite and social.
They have many other things on their menu other than breakfast food that I hope to try later. If you are looking for a sunday brunch place or a place to pick up your mood this is a good place with colorful decor and people, plus very good blueberry pancakes.
