Here's a list of my 20 favorite local lunch spots in Dalton. Show some love to the small business owners and enjoy their fresh food the next time you're out for lunch!

(The restaurants aren't listed in any particular order.)

1. The Chop Shop

Talk about a fresh deli sandwich! The Chop Shop has moved to a new location in Bryman's Plaza South (near Office Depot) and they've added a deli restaurant. If you've never dined in for lunch, you must go!

Address: 101 Bryman's Plaza South, Suite 9 Dalton, GA

2. Tacos Tu Go

The best dang tacos I've yet to have in my life! Go in for lunch or grab some tacos on your way home from work for dinner. Taco Tuesday, Thursday, any day, or every day! If you're from Dalton, you have to love tacos. Especially authentic tacos!

Address: 103 Edgewood Ave, Dalton, GA 30720

3. Chelsea's on Thornton

The perfect place for a light lunch, hot tea, and a huge piece of their strawberry cake! My mom started spoiling me as a young girl with lunch at Chelsea's. It's one of our all-time favorite restaurants in Dalton!

Address: 501 S Thornton Ave Dalton, GA 30720

4. Boulevard of Beer and Wings

Boulevard of Beer and Wings opened last Monday! Everyone in Dalton is super pumped about it. This is a perfect place to stop in for lunch to eat some wings, salad, or totchos (nachos but with tater tots). I tried the Loaded Boneless Wings (image below), yum!

Address: 222 North Hamilton St. Dalton, GA 30720

5. Oakwood Cafe

Surely you've been to Oakwood! This is our southern restaurant gem in Dalton. They're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner- go get some country cookin'!

Address: 195 W. Cuyler St Dalton, GA 30720

6. Ice Castle

When you think of Ice Castle, you probably think of a gigantic ice cream cone. They have the best ice cream around, but their lunch is awesome as well! Swing by and get some soup, salad, sandwich, and a banana split.

Address: 2514 E. Walnut Ave, Ste 1 Dalton, GA 30721


7. The Spiced Apple

If you like Mexican food and roasted chicken, you've got to go here! El Pollo Allegre has a set menu of chips, salsa, peppers, rice, beans, chicken, and ribs.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
