James Tillapaugh: Smoked pork hash! Also the Pink Elephant is the perfect breakfast cocktail. For dinner try the hanger steak or the Amish chicken. Perfection!
Comic Book Store · Andersonville · 20 tips and reviews
L.: I have since decided this is the best comic book store in the city. Mostly because of the people: knowledgeable yes, but not pretentious. It's a very inviting and fun atmosphere they've created.
venessa tarbell: Excellent children's immigration museum. They charge by the family, making this a very affordable afternoon. Afterwards, wander up and down Clark Street in Andersonville for food and window shopping.

Japanese Restaurant · Andersonville · 28 tips and reviews
It's A Major Plus: The Oyako Don is excellent. Start with the Gyoza, Edamame, Tsukemono. The Ika Geso (calamari legs) are also really good. They have good soba & udon noodle dishes, too. Home style.
Chris Steele: Pick up a bottle of something tempting and bring it to one of the several nearby BYOB dining spots. If you don't see what you want, ask. They might just begin stocking it by the next time you're in.

Ross Guthrie: Did you know it's BYOB? No... You may still have time to run get some beer! (No beer or liquor at the Walgreens around the corner, though... Go to Jewel or A-Ville Spirits at Clark & Foster)
