DEKALB
Napoleon’s Grille
Think of the writer Napoleon Hill, not the French emperor, as you head to this comfort-food eatery. Chef Ryan Aiken and partners based their business model on Napoleon's principles of success and came up with a menu that Aiken describes as "food people crave." Look for Granny Smith ravioli, steak, pork tenderloin, fried chicken, pot roast and mashed potatoes, as well as hot dogs, burgers, tacos, homemade soups and salads. 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sundays-Wednesdays; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Thursdays; 11 a.m.-12:30 a.m. Fridays-Saturdays. 2836 LaVista Road, Decatur. 404-321-5000, www.napoleonsgrill.com . $
McGowan’s Oakhurst Pub
More comfort food comes to DeKalb with the long-awaited arrival of this pub, created by the Jill Alikonis of Palate Wine Bar. Here, the stick-to-the-ribs favorites include pot roast, meatloaf, Cincinnati-style chili (ground beef with cinnamon and chocolate) and lasagna, along with 20 draft beers. The renovated building is worth the trip: It is the original Scottish Rite Children’s hospital and dates back to 1919. 11:30 a.m.-midnight Sundays-Thursdays; 11:30 a.m.-1:30 a.m. Fridays-Saturdays. 321 W. Hill St., Decatur. 404-373-4702. $
FULTON
Deadwood Saloon
A pub with southwestern style moves into Midtown with the arrival of Deadwood. Dig into blue cheese chips, queso con carne, country fried pork chops, bourbon and barbecue-glazed chicken, chipotle penne and southwest chicken Alfredo. Signature items are the fried pickles with a chipotle ranch sauce and burgers of beef, turkey, salmon or veggies. Sing along with karaoke every Saturday and dance with DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. 11:00 a.m. -- 3:00 a.m. Mondays-Saturdays; 11 a.m.-midnight Sundays. 66 12th St., Atlanta. 404-671-4290, www.deadwoodatlanta.com . $

GWINNETT
Rick Tanner's Grille and Bar Area diners may recall Rick Tanner's chicken restaurants from the 1980s. After getting out of the food business, Tanner came back last year in Cumming and Buford with a concept that extends to hand-cut steaks, prime rib, seafood, in-house smoked pork, a full bar and music -- and his famous chicken fingers, rotisserie and grilled chicken and signature "chicken lips" appetizer. This third location is close to Hamilton Mill. 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. Sundays-Thursdays; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays. 3519 Braselton Highway, Dacula. 770-932-6099, www.rtanners.com . $
