    Ford Fry's seafood restaurant exists as a quiet rebuke to Atlanta's landlocked reality. The room has the feel of an oyster bar and a classic fish house that figured out how to share a cool loft, and the kitchen leans into both, running whole roasted shrimp alongside delicate flounder dressed in lobster butter. Parker House rolls arrive hot, and the menu wanders just enough to keep things interesting.

    • Peel-and-eat shrimp

      “the peel-and-eat shrimp is a don't miss”

      AAA
    • Duck fat-poached swordfish

      “the sublime duck fat-poached swordfish”

      AAA
    • Georgia white shrimp

      “It’s well worth getting your hands dirty to peel the seared, whole Georgia white shrimp, which are set on toast to soak up a prodigious amount of árbol chili butter, cream, sambal and lime.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
