In 2005 four longtime college friends opened Tin Lizzy’s in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, giving their guests a unique taqueria with service rooted in genuine hospitality. Tin Lizzy’s quickly became a popular place to work and to meet friends for refreshing margaritas and delicious FlexMex cuisine. Soon after, other neighborhoods wanted their own Tin Lizzy’s. We are excited to bring our passion for hospitality and “friends serving friends” mission to new neighborhoods.

    When planning the perfect Friendsgiving luncheon, my choice was clear: Fogo de Chão in Dunwoody. Some of my girlfriends had never experienced it, which made it a non-negotiable destination. I crafted a strategy for navigating the Churrasco experience—designed to maximize enjoyment without feeling overwhelmed. They didn’t heed my guidance (a lesson they’ll remember next time), but despite that, they were captivated by the charm and culinary excellence Fogo is known for. The Gauchos, ever the epitome of attentive hospitality, delivered an exceptional dining experience. Their timing, precision, and warmth reminded me of what fine dining service truly entails—a rarity in today’s dining landscape. The supporting staff complemented this level of care, ensuring no detail was overlooked. The dining room was bustling, likely filled with holiday office gatherings, which added an energetic buzz to the space. While I hadn’t anticipated the crowd, it only enriched our festive mood. A standout, as always, was the pão de queijo—those irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth cheese rolls. They are dangerously addictive, and I could easily indulge in them by the pound. Fogo de Chão remains a timeless classic for those seeking an elevated yet approachable dining experience. The blend of tradition, impeccable service, and indulgent flavors makes it a perennial favorite, whether for a special occasion or a spontaneous celebration of friendship.
