    Chef Steven Lingenfelter gets a side of Brasstown Beef each week, which is fodder for his burgers & weekly specials. There's a certain arrogance to the restaurant that announces "Yeah it's that good" Read more

    Tucked between Dark Horse Tavern and a parking lot on, Illegal Food appears under an illuminated sign with its handcuffs logo. Try their pork terrine with the When The Smoke Clears tequila cocktail. Read more

    I had the special of the day my wife had "the Hank". They were amazing. Homemade pork rinds on the side was great too! Highly recommended.

    The Hank was perfect.no need to make it a double.Nasty Nate is great,but a little too flavorful to mix with Okonomiyaki fries,which were good but quite salty/fishy.The buns are buttery and delicious!

    One of the best burgers in Atlanta. Try the Nasty Nate. Don't skip the fries, either--the honey sriracha fries were excellent.

    Been here 10+ times
    I get brussel sprouts every time. Honey sriracha fries after the best. All ingredients are local! #ibelieveinatlanta

    The Hank is their signature burger (a take on the Big Mac), but I prefer the more complex Nasty Nate or Warden

    Horrible service-never was served and sat there for over an hour. Had to walk out bc they couldn't ballpark when my food would be ready. Something needs to change

    The worst service in Atlanta... Drinks took forever; sides came out 15 minutes before entrees; one party didn't get their food until everyone was done...
