star provisions

the westside is such a target-rich environment for food that i don't often get as far as star provisions. but this was my day to head to the 2 go side of star provisions. i've eaten there on several occasions with great success. and don't worry, they won't chase you out if you try to eat on premises. i went against my usual instincts to try an outstanding tart. the two most obvious tastes, in my opinion, were the egg center and the crust. the egg filling was wonderfully light and fluffy (something i've never managed in my own tarts). the filling also included button mushrooms and two kinds of cheese, both of which were good but subtle. the crust was a truly outstanding contrast to the filling, rich and flaky.

amazing everything!. one of the only restaurants i've ever had the pleasure of dining at where every item on the menu is exceptional.

fresh, local. and simply delicious.

best rueben.. it's the best rueben i've ever had. had other stuff, good, fine. don't care. lady and i are waiting for it to hit the menu again. it changed my life.

disappointed. incredible cheese shop, the cured meats are of a quality to be found only in top french delis. 99% the people who work there are warm, welcoming, and experts on all sorts of food, as well as eager to assist you.
unfortunately, for the past couple of months, the baguettes have been dry, hard as a stick, and full of large holes. trying to spread your foie gras on that? not on those slices, because you can't slice that bread in the first place: it's only crust and air.
get a new baker, or get him to understand that crusty does not mean rock hard, please!

try not to become addicted. so, i had just missed the 2pm cut off to get in line at taqueria del sol and decided okay may as well finally check out star provisions. so glad i did and now i have a new go to. i was rather ravenous today, i ordered 2 sandwiches, a fried chicken breast, and a few pastries. not all to be eaten there at once, but figured while i'm there get some good food to eat for the day. i had the chicken sandwich, with romaine, tomato, bacon and green goddess dressing and the roast beef with romaine, tomato, and horseradish mayo. the sandwiches here are worth every dollar they charge. each bite is perfect! the freshness of their baked breads used for the sandwiches tops it off! that was the best sandwich bread i've had to date, h&f seems like generic brandbread by comparison. when you walk into star provisions, you know instantly that this is a place for those who know how to eat well. this isn't the place for those with non-discerning palates who would just as soon eat a $5 footlong with the same vigor. this is a culinary enlightenment house, in which you realize that how you've been eating before is a lie, a matrix built to turn your wallet into one of these *holds up a battery*. also, because my birthday is in this wonderful holiday ridden month, i waltzed right into their meat and refrigerated section and bout a few grams of black truffle to make some luxurious risotto. this place is fantastic! extremely friendly staff as well.

tasty sandwiches. i finally got to stop by here specifically for star provisions (they share the same area with bacchanalia). it was fairly busy for 2 pm on a monday. the staff was very friendly, even after having to deal with a difficult customer.
i ordered the muffaletta since there was only one left, which usually means it's good. i enjoyed it, though i can't vouch for how "authentic" it may be since this was the first muffaletta i've ever had. i liked the olive salad that was on it, the green olives added a nice flavor profile to the sandwich. the bread was a little thick, which detracted from the fillings, but it was good bread. i also had some of the fried green tomato sandwich. the tomatoes are coated in cornmeal i believe, and they were very tasty while not being oily or greasy in the slightest bit.
overall, i like star provisions, even if its a little pricier than i'm used too (still fairly reasonable). i'll definitely be back sometime in the future.

after enjoying your lunch and making new friends at one of the community tables inside or out, you will certainly get a request from your little foodies to visit that bakery case that lured them in upon arrival. the black and white cookies might be the best in the city. meringues, both lemon and chocolate walnut, are ooey gooey perfection in the middle. the lime cornmeal cookie has a loyal following, and the star provisions shortbread is perfect for your little foodie’s first cookie. but let’s be honest, although you’ll be happy to use your little foodies as an excuse, they’re not the only ones that will want to keep coming back to that bakery for more!

the star of our visit was the roast beef sandwich on the black pepper roll. flavors just worked perfectly together. will be hard to order anything else!

...this gourmet-to-go mecca in west midtown has everything we adore. from atlanta’s favorite cheese monger tim gaddis running their fromagerie to the prepared foods (hello delicious bahn mi & shrimp po’ boy!) and all the tsatske in between, star provisions has you covered.

wow!. after an entire semester of hearing wonderful things about star provisions, i finally take a visit over here. my dad kept on raving about the reuben. i couldn't understand how a reuben be so amazing. well, it is!!! it is warm, melty, crusty (the bread), salty, tender, and amazing combination of bread, meat, and cheese. definitely will be visiting again!

pricey, but tasty and lots of fun. what a lovely place. the people were very friendly. i saw some reviews that said they were rude, but maybe they got a talking-to. there's a deli area where you can get bread, sandwiches, fritatas, falafels, salads, pizza, etc. then there are a couple of other rooms where you can buy cheese by the pound or meat/salami by the pound. the coffee area's in the back. there are a couple of long tables stuck in the middle of the store and some tables outside. the food was very tasty although the salad was drowning in green goddess dressing. ask for dressing on the side.

it’s a restaurant and market all in one. and i can’t tell you how good i feel every time i go! let me start by saying that this place is not cheap. it’s “whats for lunch”, but i’d hardly call it a deal. my average meal is $15, but i never regret a dime.

in the small "l" shaped room where you order sandwiches, i've been eyeing star provisions ' muffuletta. there is just one slice left and it's a late lunch, so things are disappearing right and left. my wife expresses interest in an entrée item; item is gone from the shelves. as i point to the sandwich on the menu, the last slice of muffuletta disappears. so i order star provision's reuben instead. star provisions is about one block south of the intersection of 17th street and howell mill road. you'll know it by the collection of cars moving in and out of the lot and the apparent inability of there to be any parking spaces in that crowded environs. but understand, it's more like a bee hive than a static entity, so turn in where everyone else is, and drive cautiously. an opening generally appears. we have been there once, but far too late for any sandwiches. the sandwich shop was closed. so we headed back, to grab sandwiches and then pick up a new slice of high end cheese from tim the c

burnt toast bakery service - as the first customer in the (open door) star provisions bakery today, i was rudely asked to wait 5 minutes until opening time. i respectfully waited at the corner of the bakery counter. another customer walked in one minute later (4 minutes before opening time) and was immediately served. this customer asked for all of a particular type of fresh baked bread... the baker makes very small quantities daily...that's why we arrive at or before opening time. i asked the sales clerk why she (a) ignored that i was first in line and (2) was selling all of the loafs of one kind of bread to the customer who clearly was not first. she rudely said, i'm not the one who asked you to wait. (????). i repeated how rude this was and customer said he had come at 9 a.m. (an hour before opening) and had to wait an hour. that's no reason to put your big butt and mouth ahead of others. manageress, to whom i complained, also could not have cared less that the star provisions bakery staff are the worst trained, did i mention rude, sales staff in atlanta. the baker should be dumbfounded that his otherwise great baking talent is burnt toast before it gets to customers homes.

less than impressed. my co-worker raved about the delicious sandwiches and fresh breads... but my excitement stopped the minute i ordered my food. the cashier was unplesant and unattentive. she seemed more annoyed than helpful when customers asked her questions. i understand there are times when people are tired, but please don't give me that crap. i go to fast food chains for that crap, not a $10 sandwich shop. thirty minutes later, after 2 people behind me got their sandwhiches, i finally received my sandwich. i was upset, of course..i only get an hour lunch break and how long does it really take to make a sandwich? the bread was good but the rest was ok. it was not worth the time, the money, or the congestion on howell mill for this mediocre sandwich and service... the whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth. my advice: find a friendlier sandwich shop that appreciates your business.
