Salt Factory

Salt Factory is an impressive and refreshing contender in the gastro pub circuit. Though once inside you forget you are in suburbia, Salt Factory definitely gives some trendy relief to the famous Canton Street in Roswell. Burly servers discuss the merits of Belgian beer and the difference between a British pint and an American pint (Brits beat us in ounces), and while the list is selective, it isn’t as, er, stout as it could be. Be as adventurous as possible and stick with the interesting imports and save the Stella for a Buckhead bar. Split up a meat and cheese plate with the table or grab a bleu burger for yourself. Visit saltfactorypub.com for more information.

The brisket, ribs, smoked chicken and an obvious fave, pulled pork sandwich, are all well worth a trip. They’ve also won a ‘Best Wings in Atlanta’ award.  But the great news is, you’ll love Fox Bros. if you are a vegetarian!  Fried okra is served whole, not sliced in pieces and is delicious.  Bravo to their mac and cheese too, and don’t miss the fried pickle chips.  It will be tough, but save room for dessert.
