Home.made from Scratch

Top choice in North Georgia


Home.made is upping the game when it comes to nouveau Southern cuisine. The menu constantly changes based on ingredient availability, but whatever these folks source is always turned into something creative, delicious, rooted in local flavors and often playfully over the top. At lunch, don't miss the fried chicken and pimento-cheese sandwich with a side upgrade to tomato pie.

At dinner, think shrimp and andouille sausage with tomatoes, celery, onions and sweet peppers over grits or boneless chicken thighs with smoked hoppin' John (black-eyed peas, rice, chopped onion and sliced bacon).
