If anything, the area around the Five Points MARTA station almost feels like an outdoor food court when it comes to dining, plus there is also a real food court in neighboring Underground Atlanta. Catered toward the business and university student population, most places to eat offer quick service for the weekday crowd, so don't be shocked if a few establishments are closed on the weekend. But if you are in the area for work, school or sight-seeing, here are the restaurants to choose from on the major surrounding streets.
