Every Brookhaven where-to-eat list in one place: wings, pizza, Mexican, breakfast and coffee, burgers, sushi and Asian, desserts, bakeries and patios.

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Brookhaven’s restaurants gather in a few places: Dresden Drive, with its restaurant rows at Parkside on Dresden and Village Park Place; Town Brookhaven, off Peachtree Road; Peachtree Road itself, near the MARTA station; Buford Highway, with its taquerias and takeout counters; Johnson Ferry Road near Ashford Dunwoody Road; and the Briarcliff Road shopping centers near North Druid Hills Road. Most of these places use an Atlanta mailing address, so every list below is limited to places inside Brookhaven’s city limits.

How we made these lists. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Brookhaven’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 6, 2026. Places we added from the Explore Brookhaven dining listings and the Town Brookhaven directory are kept only where the place’s own site gave a Brookhaven address, confirmed against the U.S. Census Bureau’s city boundary. Every list is alphabetical. None is a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on any of them. Run a restaurant? Write to us to correct or add your entry, with a link to your own website.

We did not publish a barbecue list this quarter: fewer than four barbecue restaurants inside the city limits could be confirmed from their own websites. For every business in town, see the business directory.
