Sandy Springs brings big-city polish to Southern comfort—biscuit temples, meat-and-threes, and chef-driven kitchens that treat tradition with respect.
These five favorites bring that warm, hospitable glow.
The Select
Inspired by European brasseries, The Select delivers refined comfort in a light-filled space.
The rotisserie chicken with jus and potatoes is restorative and deeply savory; short rib with creamy polenta melts at the touch of a fork.
French onion soup arrives bubbling, and the truffle fries are pure indulgence.
Cocktails are crafted and classic, making this a go-to for celebratory comfort done right.
Southern Bistro
A neighborhood gem, Southern Bistro channels modern Southern comfort with heart.
Think fried chicken that’s crisp and juicy, shrimp and grits with a silky, peppery sauce, and meatloaf with brown gravy and mashed potatoes.
Seasonal vegetable plates spotlight local produce—braised greens, cast-iron cornbread, and roasted squash that tastes like fall. It’s the weeknight haven you’ll happily revisit.
Casi Cielo
Comfort with a Oaxacan soul, Casi Cielo leans into mole-driven warmth and hearth cooking.
Mole negro over chicken is complex and soothing, while the short rib barbacoa lands rich and aromatic.
Fresh tortillas, esquites, and queso fundido bring table-side coziness, and tequila-forward cocktails round it out.
It’s elegant yet deeply satisfying—comfort reimagined.
Hearth Pizza Tavern
Sometimes comfort is a blistered, wood-fired pie with gooey cheese and a crackling crust. Hearth’s pizzas hit that note, while the meatballs in red sauce and lasagna provide red-sauce comfort in spades.
Wings, garlic knots, and chopped salads make it easy to share, and the family-friendly vibe keeps the room lively.
Pair with a local beer and call it a perfect low-key night.
Egg Harbor Café
For breakfast comfort, Egg Harbor is a local standby: skillet scrambles with potatoes and cheddar, cinnamon-swirled French toast, and biscuits with sausage gravy.
The chicken avocado toast and wholesome grain bowls cover lighter cravings, but the heart lies in pancakes and omelets cooked just right.
Friendly service and bottomless coffee seal the deal for weekend mornings and weekday pick-me-ups alike.
