Best Places to Eat in Smyrna

Atkins Park Tavern
Located in the Market Village, this is a great place to grab a beer and have a relaxed and tasty meal.
Crepe Revolution
Yep! That's right. Crepes. Crepe Revolution is a new place in the West Village. Owners Neel and Rob have created a snazzy place with an interesting flair. They serve both sweet and savory crepes. They also have sandwiches for those of you not all that into crepes. So if you are in the mood for something different, give them a try.
Howard's Restaurant
This place has moved three times in the last 30+ years and Old Smyrnanites flock to it. It is a great place to grab a quick meal (lasagna, steak, sandwiches, and salads). My favorites are the Ruben and the City Slicker.
Zucca Bar and Pizzeria
Another Market Village joint that is family owned. Antipasto platter is the best around and the pasta dishes are wayyyyy yummy.
McCray's Tavern
This place is pretty new to Smyrna but already has a crowd.
Los Bravos
Great family place, kids welcome here. Very quick service, tasty food and great margaritas after a hard day at work. My favorite here is the Burrito Especial. Very affordable!!!
King Spring Chinese Restaurant
Great little Chinese place where they are super friendly and super quick. Take out is easy... you can even walk in for take out and have your food in 10 minutes or so. Great Lo Mein and Moo Goo Gai Pan. Dinner combos are sizable and affordable.

Sensational Shopping in Smyrna

Love Street Shoppe
Great gift shop. Vera Bradley, yard trinkets, children's clothes. Close to the Smyrna Market Village.
Ruby Jean's
Cool little shop with lots of goodies. Located in an awesome old building off of Atlanta Road. You can find a gift for anyone here.
The Flashy Frog
Another cute little gift shop, but this place has yummy gourmet gifts for the foodie on your list.
Pie In The Sky
A brand new shop in Smyrna Market Village. Gourmet gifts and yummy stuff here. If you notice drool on the windows... its just mine.
Precious Cargo
Cute decor and furniture for kids and teens. The ladies that run this place are always friendly and helpful. If you need a good shower gift, consider a gift card or something from here. You'll get a huge THANK YOU!

Churches in Smyrna

Smyrna First Baptist
Located in the heart of Smyrna, this place has a cool stone chapel and a whizzy relatively new one too. Preschool and recreation program.
Smyrna First United Methodist
Another long time Smyrna organization, this church is also located close to the city center. They have an awesome pumpkin patch each October. Preschool program.
St. Benedict's Episcopal Church
One of the newest churches in Smyrna. Just purchase an historical property near the West Village (Oakdale) and will begin renovations soon. Has a preschool and kindergarten program. Will be opening an Elementary school in 2009-2010.
Self-Realization Fellowship Church
Beautiful church located just off of South Cobb Drive. It has a courtyard with a big tree and beautiful grass. I've often thought it would be a nice place to take a 'time-out' from the world.
Smyrna Church of the Nazarene
An old congregation in Smyrna that is off the beaten path. They do a lot for the poor in the area.
