After a long day of work, oftentimes the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen whipping up a homemade meal. But we can’t dine out every night – our bank accounts would surely revolt. Thankfully, Atlanta’s dining scene has tons of restaurant options offering weeknight deals that’ll satisfy both your palate and your wallet. Here are some of our favorites.
Poor Hendrix
2371 Hosea Williams Drive NE, Atlanta, GA, 30317
Poor Hendrix in East Lake is a fantastic spot for reasonably priced food and drinks. Try their shrimp, chicken, lamb, or mushroom skewers, sticky sesame wings, or spicy peanut cold noodles for under or around $10. Wash it down with a $9 glass of sangria or punch or a cold beer for under $6. It’s a great dining experience that won’t break the bank.
Lloyd’s
900 Dekalb Ave. Ste. 100, Atlanta, GA 30307
You may have gotten stuck at work late, and your pantry is looking empty. Lloyd’s can save the day with its $3 pizza slices after 9 p.m. Their pizza dough is cold-fermented for a minimum of 48 hours, and they make all of our sauces from scratch. Plus, grab all beers for $6 or less. If you come earlier in the evening, don’t miss their happy hour for $5 martinis, vespers, and Manhattans from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
