Fun, Casual Dining and Patio Bar, it's Front Page News in Atlanta

  • Great Outdoor Patio
  • New Orleans-style Bar & Grill
  • 2007 Best Bloody Mary

Atlanta's best outdoor dining, best patio, best brunch, best Cajun food, best burger, best after-work hangout and best over-all restaurant--these are just a few awards won by Front Page News in recent years. The Front Page News restaurant feels like a New Orleans tavern, with great food and strong drinks in a laid-back and inviting atmosphere. Cocktails are served in the shadow of our 12-foot tall cast iron fountains, flickering gaslights and lush foliage. During the colder months, we fire up the heaters and light the large brick fireplaces so the good times keep rolling.

The cuisine at Front Page News allows you to get a taste of New Orleans Cajun and Creole food along with contemporary American fair. Join us every Sunday for our Big Easy Sunday Brunch, including our 100 item build-your-own Bloody Mary bar and jazz music.

Editorial Review for Front Page News – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
Ferns, flickering gas lights and fountains adorn the patio; inside is more like a tavern, with dark wood and framed newspaper clippings that reinforce the restaurant's theme. The expansive patio is the big draw, especially after work and late night. Midweek, the crowd is a mix of loosened ties and little-black-dress dates, while weekends draw the work hard, play harder crowd.

The Draw
People come here for the cocktails and hearty Cajun-style fare. A make-your-own-bloody-mary bar beckons weekend revelers with an enormous array of hot sauces, spices, olives and mixers. While drinks are flowing freely, you can fill your belly on generous portions of po'boys, fried appetizers, seafood gumbo, burgers and crab cakes. Sunday brunch is also popular with omelettes and heaping sides like andouille sausage, bacon and grits.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Try the Blanche martini. Made with Smirnoff Apple, Stoli Vanil, Apple Pucker, ButterShots and Razzmatazz, it's sure to bring back your Southern drawl.

When to Go

The weekend build-your-own-bloody-mary bar is legendary. But feel free to sleep in on Sunday since local law prohibits alcohol sales until noon.

The Extras

Front Page News boasts more than 200 hot sauces. Don't see your favorite? Tell the staff and it'll be added to the wall.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

When you think of brunch in atlanta you should think Front page. The deck is great and sunny. Even in bad weather the covered deck is available so outdoor eating never seems to be a problem. Waits can be long after 1pm so come early. We like the Eggs Sardo and the Cheese steak omlet which includes an entire New York strip steak inside it. Also great for dinner on weekdays, fair prices, but not cheap $8.00-20.00, Food is almost always better than expected and the servers are relaxed and nice.

Pros: Great food, atmosphere, music

Cons: Parking is $5.00 unless you park on street

We have been coming here for over 10 years and it gets better all the time. Heated patio. Big screen TVs. New menu that kept all out old favorties. I can see myself hanging a Front Page in 20 years! You may love most of the menu but when you are "having more than one" you must try the corn dog nuggets, old school amusement park food at its best. Stay away from the Onion rings, not that great. Tops in Midtown before a club or after a show!
