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.
