Culinary wunderkinds at Atlas Grill and Bar infuse a menu of American favorites with all-natural ingredients. Palates can warm up for feasting by chanting tongue twisters or sampling starters such as a Chesapeake-oyster basket ($9.99) or a bowl of jumbo onion rings with Atlas sauce ($6.99). A rotating array of soups such as italian wedding, minestrone, or potato bacon ($4.99 for a bowl) pair with any of the restaurant’s foliage-laden salads ($4.29–$10.29). Atlas’s grill gurus char a half pound of all-natural beef for their burgers, with options including the mushroom-swiss burger or the pepper jack- and jalapeño-slathered Inferno burger ($8.99 each), which is named because it wrote its master’s thesis on Dante. Entrees run the flavor gamut from gravy-covered Mayberry meatloaf ($11.99) and butcher-cut rib-eye steak ($16.99) to the Dixie fried-shrimp platter ($13.99).

Diners at either of Atlas Grill and Bar’s locations lounge on leather booths, high-top stools, or barfront real estate. Both edibles emporiums boast large, flat-screen TVs that blare big-time sporting events or all-feline productions of The Iceman Cometh depending on the night of the week.
