The top 5 restaurants in Alpharetta, GA from casual to fancy

Maybe you are new to the area. Or perhaps you have a special occasion you are celebrating and sure where to go? We've got you covered. Here are the top 5 restaurants in Alpharetta. We have put together a list that covers casual to upscale. There are even more suggestions in video below.

• Barley Garden is a terrific spot for beer lovers but also for sandwiches too. I recommend the Shaved Ribeye sandwich. 

• Chiringa - another spot in downtown Alpharetta, it's adjacent to the green space where families love to come and hang out. When it's hot outside get the Frose (but be warned - it is strong!). Everything at this casual spot is extremely fresh and the sauces are made in house. Try the Caribbean wings and the lobster roll! 

• Village Tavern - this restaurant has something for everyone - great for a first date, group outing or business lunch. The menu is huge - pizzas, burgers, steaks, craft cocktails. 

• Salt Factory Pub - lettuce wraps are a standout and a unique steak dish you don't see often is the London Broil served with huge onion rings. 

• Lapeer Seafood Market - celebrating something special? If you love oysters, try theirs with their house made hot sauce for them. You need to visit this uber cool spot in downtown Alpharetta! They have unique cocktails like Think seafood with Asian influences. We loved the lobster pasta and the key lime mousse tart!
