Sweet Auburn Curb Market
This small market allows foodies to browse countless stalls for cooking ingredients or hot meals served on the premises, from organic coffee to Italian deli fare.

Leon's Full Service
If your indie rock friends got together and dreamed up a holier-than-thou menu and beer list, this is it. Everyone here thinks they are cooler than you, but the food excels: slow-roasted beef brisket in black peppercorn gravy, killer pub frites with specialty sauces, etc. It's all the rage in Decatur rightfully so.
