Our experienced guides will welcome you on a delicious journey through the capital of the South, where you’ll see firsthand why we’re known for being the epitome of true Southern hospitality. After all, this is the home of Coca-Cola, the Braves, and some of the best darn food you’ll ever put in your mouth!
We'll begin in front of The Grand Old Lady of Peachtree, the storied hotel where the cast and crew of "Gone With the Wind" stayed when the film premiered across the street at the Fox Theatre in 1939.
For our first Southern bite, you'll venture as far South as possible to South America and savor Uruguayan specialties at a beloved cafe whose name translates to "The Local Vineyard."
At our next stop, your guide will take you South of the border to Mexico where you'll discover our delicious Secret Dish and learn that down South, everything's better fried!
On our walk, you'll see legendary local monuments such as the Federal Reserve Bank and the Margaret Mitchell House and hear stories about how Mitchell wrote The Great American Novel.
Of course, no visit to Atlanta would be complete without devouring a generous serving of that Southern delicacy known as chicken and waffles, featured here with tangy lemon pepper and sweet Georgia peaches.
And finally, no matter how hot or humid it gets outside, you'll be the coolest kid on the block as you indulge in a refreshing gourmet popsicle handcrafted by a pair of local brother entrepreneurs.

Most of the food was enjoyable, but our guide barely contributed to the experience. She did not explain any of the dishes, provide any information about the restaurants, or offer any interesting food insights, history, or anecdotes. It was simply three hours of scheduled food stops in midtown, with no coherent theme to the food or restaurant selections. The chicken and waffles, supposedly a highlight, was the least enjoyable dish of the tour, dry and under-seasoned. I have enjoyed many food tours in other cities, and was looking forward to this one. Sadly, it was very disappointing, especially give the ticket price.
Our guide was fantastic, friendly, personable. The food choices were spot on. Would highly recommend. Only downside was we had trouble syncing at the meeting point. More specific location as to what door to meet in front of would help.
If you're looking for a food tour in Atlanta that offers a culinary experience that combines local cuisine, history with great stories, look no further. Brenden our guide took us to locally owned restaurants known for their unique approach, which provides walking tours that blend Southern cuisine with local history, including stops at iconic spots that were both historic and iconic. Brenden was very engaging and provided delicious tastings. Highly recommend!!
Alaisha was very friendly and informative. The food tastings were excellent and we had a wonderful time.
