well, folks, it has finally happened: our first weekend excursion for nrw! and who was the lucky host? folk art restaurant in the heart of inman park. shelby had heard about it from a friend and bolted over to my cube one day at work to insist we go. “well, let’s!” i told her. and just like that we had sunday brunch planned for the crew. ah, sometimes life is that simple.
folk art is a “rustic” “feel good” breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch eatery led by chef-owner jason hill of the sister restaurant wisteria. the menu boasts big drinks and generous food, things up the alley of a typical 20-something after a weekend of raucous fun.
the atmosphere is bursting with charm; it actually reminds me of the eastside jittery joe’s in athens with all of its local art, exposed brick, and “weathered wood floors.” it is comfortably eclectic and mildly hipster with its american pickers-inspired décor. the magnetic refrigerator letters are nostalgic and homey alongside the mason jars lining one wall. it’s all just ultra southern girl basic, and we were soaking in every bit of it.
but that’s enough about the décor. although ambience is a big factor for me when trying a new place, the food is really the reason we come.
