Roswell’s comfort food scene marries Southern hospitality with modern neighborhood charm—think golden fried chicken, creamy grits, skillet mac, and cozy bowls in historic settings and buzzing town centers.
Whether you’re strolling Canton Street or settling in by the Chattahoochee, these spots deliver warm, satisfying plates.
Table & Main
Set in a charming, white clapboard house just off Canton Street, Table & Main is a love letter to Southern comfort done right.
The signature fried chicken is crisp, juicy, and perfectly seasoned—one of the metro area’s most beloved birds—and the sides feel like a Sunday spread: bacon-braised greens, whipped potatoes, and skillet cornbread with honey butter.
Starters like pimento cheese and deviled eggs nail the nostalgia, while seasonal mains—think pot roast with root vegetables or shrimp and grits with a silky, peppery gravy—round things out.
The bourbon list is deep, and the porch on a warm evening is pure Roswell.
Osteria Mattone
Italian can be comfort incarnate, and Osteria Mattone brings Roman soul to Roswell’s historic district.
Hand-cut pastas and slow-simmered sauces steal the show: cacio e pepe with a glossy sheen of Pecorino, rigatoni alla carbonara with guanciale and silky egg, and Sunday-ready lasagna al forno.
The wood-fired polpette (meatballs) arrive tender and saucy, and the chicken parm hits all the right red-sauce notes without heaviness.
Finish with a warm budino or tiramisu and a Negroni or Barolo—this is refined comfort with neighborhood warmth.
Fía Restaurant
Inside The Hamilton Hotel, Fía leans contemporary American with a comforting core: roasted chicken with pan jus and herb-slicked potatoes, braised short ribs that fall apart over creamy polenta, and a luxe mac and cheese with aged cheddar depth.
Seasonal soups—tomato-basil in winter, corn chowder in summer—feel like a hug, and the burger, stacked with melty cheese and house pickles on a brioche bun, earns regular cravings.
Service is polished yet friendly, and the dining room’s moody glow makes it perfect for unrushed comfort.
Diesel TapHouse
For casual, game-day comfort, Diesel delivers big plates, cold beer, and hearty pub fare.
Think towering burgers with bacon and fried onions, Nashville hot chicken sandwiches with a sweet-heat balance, and loaded tater tots or fries smothered in queso and chili.
The wings come crisp with classic sauces and dry rubs, and the chili—thick, meaty, and just spicy enough—anchors the menu.
It’s the kind of spot where you settle in, order extra ranch, and stay for the fourth quarter.
The Peach & The Porkchop
Part farmhouse, part country-Italian comfort, The Peach & The Porkchop is all about generous portions and scratch-made goodness.
Start with fried green tomatoes or pimento cheese, then move to pork chops (bone-in, juicy, with apple compote), chicken pot pie with flaky crust, or a meatloaf plate with mashed potatoes and gravy.
The “Big Pig” sandwich is a crowd favorite—pile-ups of smoked pork, slaw, and sauce—while the kids’ menu and homey desserts (bread pudding, cobbler) make it family gold.
