Little's Food Store
Little’s Food Store is a Cabbagetown mainstay. The beloved family-owned grocery-turned-grocery-and-grill has been open since 1929, and has stood in its home on Carroll Street since 1941. The one-time spot for groceries only has been serving up some of Atlanta’s favorite burgers and hot dogs since 2010. Order at the register, peruse the market while the grill is firing your three-bite single slider, or take a seat on a red vinyl chair at the counter and enjoy the vintage, Georgia-centric memorabilia that surrounds you.

Little's Food Store stands as Atlanta's authentic slice of bodega life, flipping burgers, grilling dogs, and fulfiling grocery needs since 1929. Nestled in the evolving landscape of Cabbagetown, once a gritty mill town, this grocer and deli has witnessed the transformation from industrial grit to upscale urbanity. Owners Brad and Nina Cunard, Cabbagetown residents pre-BeltLine boom, serve up history with every bite or grocery run, with everything from local beer and wine to specialty chips and toothpaste available for purchase. They demand of newcomers the same respect as old-timers, ensuring Little's remains a place where community trumps change and a well-mannered hello is currency.

Burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches – that’s what you get when you go to this restaurant. The food store, however, has produce, wine, and more, so it’s a bit of a one-stop shop. If you’re hitting the grill for a delicious piece of meat, you won’t be disappointed. Their burgers are prime cut with fresh market toppings and Boar’s Head cheese. The hand-cut fries and onion rings also make for a perfect partner to your burger.
