Ben Hill Grill

If you don’t want to hit a drive-thru during your lunch break, Ben Hill Grill in Southwest Atlanta is an easy stop for a meal that's better than the usual fast food options but comparable in price. There’s no seating inside the counter-service restaurant. And note that everything on their fried food, sandwich, and rice bowl menu is made to order, so call ahead if you don’t want to wait. Prices generally range between $10 to $15, and the crispy fried shrimp and fish with fries are the go-to choice here. Skip most of the other menu offerings, especially the crumbly burger and gooey chicken tacos.
