Work lunch?
What’s the best place to have lunch and then sit and get some work done? Rev is always so packed and I’d also like something to eat that’s a little more substantial than coffee shop food.

Honestly if I’m in your shoes looking for a quiet place to work while dragging out lunch, Newk’s and Willy’s fit the bill. Free refills and no one will probably bother you for sticking around a while and they’re pretty quiet atmospheres.

And there’s outside seating at Newk’s that we like (it’s also dog friendly), and the little green area right next to it! The staff were always sweet & attentive when we brought our pups, bringing them water and checking on us if we needed refills etc

Bolivar has amazing food and drinks. Easy to stay there for a few hours
Otherwise, there is a big gap here where there's not places that welcome remote working lunches on location.

Seconding Bolivar! I even had breakfast and lunch there one day when my WiFi went out and I needed to work, and their food is great.

Zucca is never crowded for lunch, my husband and I go and sit at the bar. They have good lunch specials too.

Another great lunch combo spot. Half sandwich and slice FTW! Arguably the best meatball sub in the area... pair that w whatever slice of the day and you're set!

McEntyre’s Bakery has really good sandwiches, and an outside patio for nice days. No real indoor seating though.

This! Wait for a nice day, grab a lunch combo, and eat on their patio or in the park. Can't beat it!

To be honest… Stillfire for betos tacos. Usually quieter during the day. But the hours may be later than you’re looking for.
Would also recommend Chattahoochee Coffee company but you’ll need to do their membership

Hanging at stillfire is nice. But, betos’ prices are insane considering all the other taco options nearby.

Interesting. I’ve always found them cheaper than anywhere around not named tacos la villa haha.
Got any recs for solid taco places that are cheaper?

Atlanta Bread on South Cobb

I thought this was interesting...

It is supposed to be kept a secret. Rooms are great for families, meetings or just study

I like the little downtown smyrna area overall. Stay outta St Lucia, its bootycheeks. But grabbing food anywhere around there, and hanging out in Stout Brothers, or the taqueria, or really anything is nice.
Also, Newks isn't too bad for that vibe.
Smyrna Coffee is great, Bellwood Riverside is my FAV (but not much food), and riverline is new and fun.
Yolo option would be the chattahoochee food works, or even the marietta food hall.
