Restaurants in Bartlett

Scuba dive into the culinary dinner experience with raw-bar selections including marinated Hawaiian tuna tartare with creamy avocado aioli and wontons ($12). Or, plunge straight into the bathyal end of the culinary pool with artisan oysters on the half shell (market price). A lighter option such as a baby-spinach salad with bacon, mozzarella, cherry tomato, pickled red onion, and honey-mustard vinaigrette ($8) will leave room for a feast of seared sea scallops with yellow squash, zucchini, and confit tomatoes ($24), tuna burger with toasted-almond slaw ($13), or smoked pepper-crusted salmon with potato-parsnip puree and broccolini ($22). Sole's cuisine isn't solely pelagic, however. Lovers of land-based eats can order pan-roasted duck breast ($23) with potato gnocchi, wild mushrooms, haricot vert, and cherry beurre rouge or an 8 oz. grilled beef tenderloin ($23). Breakfast, lunch, and brunch are also available.

Zaytoon Mediterranean Grill's cooks prepare traditional Mediterranean cuisine using healthy, natural ingredients. They crown pita pizzas with olive oil and wild thyme; fry crisp falafel; and roast hormone- and antibiotic-free beef from local cattle for shawarma pita wraps. At meal's end, sip a Turkish coffee or nibble on a housemade walnut baklava.

People wage wars at Incredible Pizza Company—against other drivers on the go-kart track, golfers on the glow-in-the-dark mini-golf course, and the limits of their own stomachs at the buffet. The funporium’s buffet—featuring more than 100 items—centers on pizza, including original, thin, and deep-pan crust (gluten-free upon request) crowned with more than 30 toppings. Verdant greens and freshly made dressings await visitors at the popular salad bar, and the baked-potato station comes with every necessity for side-dish construction, from cheese to the bacon bits from which bacon is built. A variety of sauces enliven the buffet’s fettuccine and spaghetti noodles, and homestyle eats on offer include hot dogs and frito pie.

In the indoor adventure park, meanwhile, gamers zip around a track in two varieties of go-karts—the stock-car speed and the slower Busch speed—as announcers report each turn. Visitors also can instigate harmless car crashes in the bumper-car area or spend five frames toppling pins during mini bowling.

Offering diners a varying selection of Southern classics and 14 protein-and fruit-packed smoothies, the chefs at Scales Café whip up healthy snacks and filling dishes anchored around farm-raised catfish. A dusting of seasoned cornmeal prepares their signature catfish fillets to swim laps in the deep fryer before emerging triumphantly with either a crispy golden coat or a gold medal. Cajun or ranch spice blends can flavor the fresh fish, or diners can forgo the crispy crust in favor of a grilled or skillet-blackened fillet. Although house-made hush puppies, french fries, and coleslaw accompany most entrees to the table, eight other side options, including velvety mac 'n' cheese and sweet-potato fries, can smother hunger like a mother who cleans her son’s dorm room. Straws plumb the creamy depths of Scales Café's smoothies, which are made from fresh fruits, crushed fruit concentrates, and protein boosts. Each sippable meal is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but steers clear of fat, lactose, and artificial flavors.

Situated inside Palladio Antiques & Art, Cafe Palladio satiates guests with a modest lunch menu of casual café fare, including 10 types of sandwiches, fresh salads, homemade soups, and its self-proclaimed “famous peach tea.” Surrounded by antiques, artworks, and decorative furnishings, diners dig into Dixie Delight with vegetables or slabs of moist coconut cake served upside-down or right-side-up at the customer’s request. Free WiFi is also available for lunchtime web surfing.

Chef David Johnson and his culinary team create southern comfort fare with a Cajun zing. The menu rotates daily, offering special items such as beef tips with garlic mashed potatoes on Tuesdays and bourbon-glazed peach pork loin paired with mississippi grits on Thursdays. Along with preparing food for dine in, take out, or delivery, the staff also caters corporate events such as employee-appreciation lunches and executive-level food fights.
