Do you live in the lovely city that is Carrollton, GA? Or maybe you’re visiting while dropping someone off at the local university? Maybe you’re checking out our shiny new Printers Ale Brewing Company?

Whatever the reason you’re in Carrollton, you’re going to be hungry at some point. Why not give one of these hot spots a try?

1. 302 South Street

This local business offers some tasty fried foods and a pretty sweet beer list. Add to that some awesome weekly events and you’ve got a winner. Stop by and try their Pig Wings (tossed in their delicious gold fever sauce!) and wash it down with a locally brewed Printer’s Ale. The owners are nice and involved in the community, hosting many Spirit Nights for UWG and supporting local bands on the weekends. They’ve just been approved to rebuild and make their space bigger and better. I highly recommend stopping by, and if great food isn’t enough to draw you in, maybe their weekly events will make you a little more excited to come by: Tuesdays are open mic night, Wednesdays are .50 wing night starting at 6 p.m., Thursday nights are for Trivia, and weekends rock with some live music.

2. Gallery Row

Gallery Row is an incredibly coffee shop that displays local art, makes spot on drinks, and offers a relaxed atmosphere where artists, business people, and local youth can grab a drink and chill or grab it and go. My personal favorite is their chai tea. Recently there’s been a little dust up about some of the art displayed at Gallery Row (which they removed), but there’s no reason to write off this coffee house. Stop by and grab a cup of joe, or something more exciting, and enjoy the baked goods they have to offer. They open early for those who are up and running with the sun, and stay open relatively late for the people wanting to get their caffeine on before lots of studying.

3. The Corner Cafe

The Corner has been around for years. Their pizza recipe is “one of the best kept secrets in Carrollton”. Their sandwiches all have funny, imaginative names that are simply delicious. So I highly recommend their Gargoyle sandwich and most certainly their spinach artichoke dip appetizer. You won’t be disappointed. But don’t go there if you want a simple sandwich and fries, they’re not that basic! They also display local art and have some murals that are sure to dazzle. Stop by and check it out!
