WingsLocation: Outfield Market, Sections 152-155Wings in Atlanta—even ballpark wings—have to come correct. The flats and drums at Coop’s Wings arrive in an adorable container shaped like a convertible. It's not an option, but ask to get a few of each flavor (buffalo, BBQ, and lemon pepper wet, which are all decent). They're plump and juicy. And they're not too saucy, so you won’t have to worry about messing up your Ronald Acuna, Jr. jersey mid-cheer.

NFA is our favorite burger in Atlanta—which is saying a lot in a town with more great burger options than kudzu. At the Truist Park location, you get three sliders that don’t taste exactly like the original but they’re still full of fresh-off-the-grill flavor. The burger peeks out beneath a pillowy bun, and eating one mid-game might make you forget you're at a stadium and not a proper burger joint. If these ever got launched from the T-shirt cannon, we’d dive for one.

photo credit: Amy SinclairWhile we don’t have as many options as, say, New York, don’t let anyone tell you Atlanta doesn’t have stellar Indian food. As the saying goes: "The South's got something to say," and even when it comes to South Asian cooking. And knowing where to find the crispiest mushroom manchurian, warming chana masala, or the greatest kale pakoras in this city is essential—that’s why we made this guide to help you out.

Few establishments do smoked meats as well as Pit Boss in Hapeville. This counter service BBQ spot doesn’t cut corners: no parboiled ribs or oven-roasted brisket here, only meats that have spent hours on the smoker. The airport employees who swarm this place for lunch will tell you the same. They may also tell you what you should order, but we’ll save them that trouble. Get the amazing smoked ribs, wings, and tender pulled chicken sandwich with tangy housemade sauce.

Our favorite dive on Ponce de Leon has stayed uniquely Atlanta for more than two decades, giving the finger to several attempted developer takeovers. They flex their A-town cred with the best wings in the city and a lengthy list of local brews, like the Night on Ponce IPA, which is admittedly more fun while you’re enjoying a night on Ponce.
