EATS is one of the most overrated slop houses in the city. Bland "jerk" chicken with cardboard texture. I'm guessing the only reason people frequent the place is because its piss cheap.
I used to eat there all the time when i was growing up and lived with several Eats employees for a brief spell around 1998. The chicken is great for the price for sure.
spinach tortellini in alfredo sauce motherfuckers. Thats what you need to order at EATS
Mike from Frantic/Predator's parents own a peruvian chicken shack that is fucking ridiculous. Its out in decatur but its completely worth the (short) trip. Place is called Las Brasas. 310 East Howard Avenue, Decatur, GA 30030-3401(404) 377-9121
In the same neck of the woods is Brickstore. Got a couple of termbros working there and hundreds of beers. Really good bar food.
Stop at one of the Figo Pasta shops scattered around town, and get a huge thing of fresh pasta for 8 or 9 dollars.
Daddy D'z is pretty good too. But theres a place I used to go called Bouldercrest House of Ribs (1281 Bouldercrest Drive Southeast, Atlanta, GA - (404) 243-8484) thats a little off the beaten path, plus you might see some ghetto drama in the parking lot. Atlanta is a good place for that by the way
