Miller Union

"James Beard award-winning chef Steven Satterfield’s fresh Southern cooking is simple and elegant and includes a lot of seasonal, locally grown vegetables. The farm egg baked in celery cream with grilled bread is a must-try Atlanta dish. The restaurant also has one of the best vegetable plates in town and offers a killer wine list, too. Getting a reservation at this west side Atlanta restaurant can be challenging on busy dining days, so opt to sit at the bar or head in on a Monday for a quieter meal. Miller Union no longer serves lunch." - Eater Staff

"In Atlanta, you can count on a few constants—traffic clogging 285 at any time for any reason, the yearly pollen apocalypse that turns everything highlighter-yellow in spring, and Miller Union delivering top-tier Southern food that’ll almost make you forget about the first two. The seasonally driven, casually upscale West Midtown restaurant has been a fixture for after-work crowds for over a decade. A veteran in Atlanta’s upscale dining space, Miller Union delivers LeBron James-like excellence. No one can deny their impressive all-around game—from the food (the seared, herby braised duck leg is delicious and straight-forward) to their drinks (think thyme-infused gin cocktails) and award-winning desserts (order the spiced glazed donuts served with velvety ice cream). But the real focal point at Miller Union has always been their vegetable sides. This place performs vegetable wizardry like it's auditioning for a spot at Hogwarts, so don’t leave without sharing the famous vegetable plate with turnips, sweet potatoes, peppers, or whatever is in season. photo credit: Cameren Rogers photo credit: Cameren Rogers photo credit: Cameren Rogers photo credit: Cameren Rogers Head to the bar at the entrance to sip a bourbon-based Southern Son and ear hustle in the crowd of regulars. In the dining room—where the wrought iron window panes and weathered white shelving falls somewhere between an industrial style loft and a coastal home—expect to see couples dressed up for a night out or friends celebrating a birthday. And since entrees hover around a corporate-friendly $30 range, also expect to hear office jargon fill the semi-private back rooms. And it doesn't matter what occasion brings you here—date night, birthday, or post-work retreat to wait out traffic—every visit is a reminder why Miller Union is the always consistent, silver lining to Atlanta's quirks.

The vegetables retain their vibrant colors and flavors—they’re not boiled into oblivion or charred beyond recognition. The selection of vegetables changes with the seasons, and each seasonal collection harmonizes without overshadowing the others. And generously portioned, the plate is satisfying enough to fill you up with leftovers to enjoy later. photo credit: Cameren Rogers Roasted Poulet Rouge The gently crisped, slow-roasted chicken is one of our favorites because it’s tender and juicy. It’s served lounging on a bed of earthy farro and garlicky sauteed spinach. Churro Ice Cream Sandwich Creamy, sweet vanilla caramel-infused ice cream comes sandwiched between two fat, lightly crisped churros, making this is one of the best desserts on a menu full of incredible choices. Cornmeal Hushpuppies The crunchy outside and moist, lightly sweet inside combine to make this good enough for you to turn into an entree." - Jacinta Howard

"This seasonally driven, casually upscale restaurant has been setting the standard in Atlanta for years, all at a price that won’t empty your wallet. Everything impresses—from the food (the chicken is herby, juicy, and delightful) to their drinks (think thyme-infused gin cocktails) and award-winning desserts (you must try the spiced glazed donuts with velvety ice cream). However, the real highlight at Miller Union has always been their vegetable sides. Order the famous vegetable plate to share with the table, so everyone in your party can debate if anyone does tender turnips, crisp snap peas, and other seasonal produce as well as Miller Union (the answer remains "no")." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
