star provisions

great lunch. went here today and had the shrimp po boy and black eyed pea salad. both were delicious. smores cupcake for dessert was divine. some of the best bread i've ever had on a sandwich.staffwas fine to me. only complaint is the tea system. snobby restaurants seem to think only backwoods inbred rednecks drink sweet tea. not the case. if i'm paying $15 for lunch i should not have to mix my own tea.

delicious soup & sandwich

we wanted something good but simple. star provisions filled the need perfectly.

we had the fabulous shrimp po-boy. the shrimp were wonderfully fresh and the breading was light and crispy. the banh-mi was also very good but could have used a vinagery daikon to brighten it up a bit. we shared a large tomato bisque which was wonderful, after we added a bit of salt and pepper. also, as with most bisques it was served less hot than it should have been. warming the heavy ceramic bowl would have helped. thestaffkindly microwaved the bottom half of our soup.

thestaffwere all welcoming and helpful.

i would definitely return for the shrimp po-boy and the tomato bisque.

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 friendlystaffas 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. thestaffwas 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.

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 bakerystaffare the worst trained, did i mention rude, salesstaffin atlanta. the baker should be dumbfounded that his otherwise great baking talent is burnt toast before it gets to customers homes.

ridicously good food served by ridicously snobish staff. go and have fun with thestaffthat thinks they are so elegant and french, when in fact they are just some local people that like the snobish as well. i go there for the food only.

love it but they need tostaffbetter for lunch. it's a free for all
