While you may just walk by this deli and grill thinking that it's your average sandwich shop, you should take another look. Highland serves up deliciously creative sandwiches, whether set on a flaky croissant, or with nutty, flavorful chicken salad.

The thing about Sweet Potatoes Kitchen is that it is insanely scrumptious food that has been kept secret for far too long. Must get items: fried catfish, mashed sweet potatoes, wedge salad, and obviously the banana pudding.

Probably one of the most unsuspectingly delicious places in the state, you absolutely must try the fried chicken from Blakely Chicken. Moist, tender, crunchy on the outside, it's the way fried chicken is supposed to be cooked.

Fender's Diner is a flashback to the 50s and 60s that you do not want to miss. Indulge in a milkshake and a plate of fried pickles and revel in the good ol' days. Then top it all off with a big slice of coconut cake. YUM.

Oakwood Cafe is true comfort food in the heart of Dalton. People come from all over for the homemade cornbread and cinnamon butter, or for a plate of chicken livers. This is honest Southern cooking done right.

The shrimp and grits. You HAVE to try the shrimp and grits. There is a grits cake underneath all that goodness that just soaks up the flavor. Go....for the grits....you'll thank us later.
