▼ About the Restaurants

Sweet Auburn Curb Market

209 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30303

The oldest public market in the city, the Sweet Auburn Curb Market was established in 1918 as an outdoor marketplace, and was an immediate success. In 1924, the Women's Club of Atlanta raised money to build a permanent building for the market that at the time, stood at the geographic center of the city, and was originally called the Atlanta Municipal Market. After undergoing renovation in the 1990's, the Market has operated under the name Sweet Auburn Curb Market for the past two decades as a place for Atlantans to buy specialty foods, produce, baked goods, meats, and more.

Grindhouse Killer Burgers

Grindhouse opened its doors in 2009. In its first year in business, Grindhouse was named Best Veggie Burger in Atlanta by Creative Loafing, and won the highly coveted Chomp & Stomp Chili Competition. Years later this original location is still flipping out regulars and newcomers alike with some of the best burgers in town. Grab a seat at the counter, check out a flick, and enjoy a classic. And, don't forget to try the fries. Ridiculous. Owner Shane Poda knows what he's doing, and you don't have to be a carnivore to enjoy all the options he cooks up.

YumDiggity

"Home of the Gourmet Frank" Founded by the mad genius behind Atlanta's first food truck, Yumbii, Carson Young is giving The Curb Market a bit of a pedigree for those who frequent the mobile food hotspot. The names of most eateries tell you something about what they serve. Not YumDiggity. They decided to buck tradition and name themselves after the noise their customers make when they first bite into one of their delicious gourmet hotdogs or sausages. YumDiggity offers a variety of franks, brats and sausages all free of MSG, fillers, artificial flavors and animal by-products and topped with your choice from an elaborate spread of toppings both traditional and unique.

Sweet Auburn BBQ

Born out of a love of smoked meat, Sweet Auburn Barbecue is the story of three friends coming together and fulfilling their dream of learning the art and secrets of delicious barbecue. Pairing traditional southern flavors with hints of modern eclectic influences, they created dishes that are reminiscent of classic home cooking, yet have a sophisticated twist. With their award winning barbecue and wings, Sweet Auburn Barbecue has been welcomed by the community, growing to include two fully functional mobile food trucks and a versatile and thriving catering business, in addition to the permanent home in the Curb Market.

Le Metro Creperie

This family run creperie has one goal in mind: to bring a small piece of Paris to your doorstep. With a weekly revolving menu of one sweet and one savory crepe, as well as a build your own option, Le Metro Creperie has something for everyone. Oh, and did we mention, everything is completely gluten free!? "Manger"!

Miss D's New Orleans Style Candy

Miss D's New Orleans Pralines is where it's at. Have a hankering for something sweet? Something salty? How about both? That's the beauty of Miss D's boutique biz that welcomes visitors with a smile (and a sample). Miss D (aka Dionne Gant) is originally from NOLA, so she's legit, and she brings with her the recipe for some of finest treats the Big Easy has to offer.

Rawsome Juicery

Rawesome is awesome according to the rumor mill, and ya know what, the rumors are right. Owner Chantel Jiroch started with a passion for healthy living and transformed it into one of the most popular places to refresh and refuel at The Market. Rawesome specializes in the holistic and delicious, serving up made-to-order salads, fresh squeezed juices, and nutritious smoothies to sooth and satiate body and soul.
