What are the 17 worst restaurants in Atlanta? 

Or would all 17 of them be a Krystal?

Krystal is pretty bad last I tried it (years ago, on a trip).  The bad individual places go bust pretty quick obviously.  I'm sure some here could dine at any one of these restaurants on the list and find it mediocre, or over priced.  Bones, for example, is more of a social thing than a great steakhouse in my view.  We dined there once.  It was packed on a Tuesday.

I've taken people to the local Korean Chicken place and they've all said it was fantastic.  There are a number of other small places near us that are very good in my view, but almost unknown for such lists.  We don't have many national chains near us fortunately, there is a Panera and a Chipotle, I can't think of another place in walking distance.

The nearest McDs is about two miles distant, I ain't walking for that.  Well, we have a Chick Fil A down the street too.

This is rather silly to me.  The most intimidating stadium would be the one with the best team, maybe one could include some vennue that is particularly hostile like Penn State or Iowa even if they happened to be so so.  I don't think they even included Ohio State, but I glanced quickly.

Atlanta zip codes on best places to live list | 11alive.com

This thread has made me more conscious of how many "rankings" are out there, I used to ignore them for the most part.  Humans seem to need this stuff for some reason.

I happen to reside in one of these ACs, not that is matters to me whether I did or did not.

Sure, it's someone's ranking, and I'd bet "we" could do better here, but then, who's to say what is better?  Leaving out Ohio State and Penn State seem like big misses to me also.  Sanford Stadium (#2) can be loud, but it's open on the west end, and the seats are pretty far from the field.    Then there is the question of how good the home team is that year of course.

But, it's a ranking, it got clicks.

My own ranking for SEC Venues, mostly based on TV:

LSU
Tennessee (I've been there, it gets really loud)
Auburn
Alabama
Texas
Florida

So far, this is somewhat aligned with seating capacity.

I'd put UGA around here, don't know about OU really.  South Carolina can bet intimidating at times.

Kinnick doesn't scare me, but then there's a lot of RED in there most times

My understanding is smaller stadia can be "loud" because of nearness of stands to the field, examples being Kinnick, Oregon, VT, and maybe a few others.

Memorial Stadium in Austin is pretty wide open, and the crowd is fairly wine and cheese, so it's not all that intimidating.  Every now and then, for a REALLY big game, it gets loud.  After the 2022 game, one of the Alabama players commented it was among the most loud and most rowdy crowds he'd ever experienced, but that's really the exception.

Memorial Stadium in Lincoln isn't nearly as loud as it was in the 80s

Much more wine & cheese corporate types and fewer blue collar real fans.

real fans can't afford tickets these daze
