Last weekend, I went to brunch for my friend Alexandria's (above) birthday at Sun In My Belly in Downtown Decatur. It was my first time eating there, and it's definitely been on my "must-try" list for a awhile. Please notice the food in front of her, the fried green tomatoes covered in pimento cheese. SO good. Not the traditional fried green tomato setup, but this twist on them was awesome.
The decor of this restaurant is beyond adorable. Check out the hanging lights and painted Mason jars. All of the tables are set up similar to the photo shown above, making this place an awesome spot for parties or dates.
I ordered a mocha before my meal came, and this was one of the best mochas I've ever had.
When you order biscuits a la carte, they come with butter and an orange preserve, yum!
Here's what I ordered: BBQ shrimp and grits. I was surprised and appreciative of how many shrimp I got with my meal. The BBQ sauce was sweet, yet tangy and the grits were cooked perfectly. Great meal choice for pescatarians who love southern food. Check out what a few other people at the table ordered below:
I absolutely loved having brunch at Sun In My Belly, and I can't wait to make another trip back. They definitely have a busy weekend crowd, so try making a reservation if you're planning to visit with a large group like we did.
This food looks delicious Vett... such a sweet place to have bunch ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful location! I would love to try those fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese :) A local food cart's specialty is a chicken sandwich with pimento cheese & a friend green tomato on top. Yum! Have a great week, Vett!

Boo that you didn't go here before my last ATL trip ha. I'd much prefer pimento cheese to goat cheese on fried green tomatoes - genius!
ReplyDeleteYou always post the most delicious looking food on your blog! Everything looks so wonderful!

I went there for my Tech graduation lunch! It was actually a last minute decision due to Mary Mac's not taking reservations for Saturdays and it being an hour wait. My family and I absolutely loved it. I'm hoping to go again when I visit a the end of the month!
ReplyDeletewhat a great backup location! I really loved it too and can't wait to go back :)
ReplyDeleteThe shrimp and grits look DELICIOUS! Brunch is my fav meal of the day. I will have to mark this on my ATL to do list!
