I have this phone app where I check for the hottest and greatest restaurants in the area based on people’s ratings, reviews, etc. The Stoney Knob Cafe which is located in the nearby small town has been one of the restaurants that received great reviews in the area. I’ve been raring to sample their food so when our son had his field trip to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, the hubs and I took the opportunity to have a lunch date. I was choosing between two hot spots, but the hubs helped me in deciding by choosing this place which has a special meaning in his heart. The place has been there since 1962 and he remembers going there with his Dad when his Dad worked across the street at the old Stoney Knob supermarket.
I did read about how amazing the food was in this restaurant, but I certainly had no clue of the whimsical decor which was a very nice surprise.
That was the first time that I’ve been to a restaurant with a whimsical decor. I felt like I was in a fairy land. The place was colorful and just so fun and lively. Look at that black chandelier and those hot pink bar chairs! Not to miss the pattern of the carpet and the drawings on the wall.
The restaurant offers American, Greek and European cuisine.
The husband had this – The Stoney Knob Short Rib Steakhouse Burger. It had onion rings, bacon, bread n butter pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayo, white cheddar & grainy mustard.
I chose the Panini Michelangelo. It is grilled chicken, caramelized onions, buffalo mozzarella, pesto, spinach & roasted red peppers on ciabatta bread. It was really delicious, not to mention, very healthy.
And my orange juice. The hubs had his favorite sweet tea, as usual.
That was the first time that we’ve sampled the restaurant and there was no question why the place was a hit. And there’s no wonder either why they are an award-winning restaurant.
Have you been to a restaurant with a whimsical decor?
