Georgia Tech sits right between Midtown and the Westside. Georgia Tech's main campus occupies a large part of Midtown Atlanta, bordered by 10th Street to the north and by North Avenue to the south, placing it well in sight of the Atlanta skyline. Georgia tech mid town area has host of restaurant and dining choices typical of metropolitan areas, including a half-dozen in Technology Square alone. The following are our favorites around Georgia tech midtown area.

Silver Skillet

Silver skillet is it’s an old fashioned diner. The dining room is a blast from the past: faded yellow walls, green-and-orange pumpkin-colored upholstered booths with boomerang-pattern Formica tables. Skillet-cooked ham is astonishing, packing the salty powerhouse tang of long-cured pig meat. And it comes with a dish of marvelous dark red-eye gravy.

If you're looking for a real Southern breakfast, you should try world-famous country ham and redeye gravy. Silver skiller claims that it is made fresh using some old-style know how and a couple of secret ingredients, and so tender you can cut it with a fork.

Bobby & June's Country Kitchen

Situated in the heart of Midtown, Bobby & June’s sticks out like a sore thumb with its front porch rocking chairs, barn door siding and checkerboard surrounded by hi-rises and city traffic. Known for its barbecue pork and cornbread muffins, the restaurant’s ambiance truly takes you back to the country–until you walk out of the Bobby & June's Country Kitchen doors.

Vortex Bar & Grill

The Vortex located in Midtown Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. This hip, attitude-laden bar and grill makes some of the best burgers. Aside from the ample burger options, menu fixtures like the deep fried, beer battered cheddar cheese balls and the nacho tots. This place has everything for the beer and wine lovers, many brands are available and the prices were not too bad. They will make you just about any type of beverage that you want. The food menu is very wide and the names of some of the dishes made me laugh. They have bad ass Buffalo wings, big naked weenies, cowboy burgers, the Spanish fly burger, chicken digits and the double bypass burger.

Spoon

Thai dishes run from the inventive to the norm, but what seems standard for Thai food here has the zing of fresh ingredients and the deftness of artful presentation. Basil rolls, for instance, are lively in flavor and presented cut into bite-size portions. Jasmine rice flecked with black sesame seeds accompanies all. Lovely tea is available as a beverage.
