Georgia is known for some great locally-owned restaurants, some of which are located just 40 miles northeast of Atlanta in the quaint town of Cumming, Georgia. With a population of just over 6,000 people and growing, it is home to many popular local Cumming restaurants.
Downtown Cumming
A local favorite, Rooster’s Café is known for its chicken wings and burgers and offers a family-friendly, casual dining atmosphere. Located nearby on the downtown Cumming square, Annunziata’s Cucina Italiano offers residents a casual Italian menu with pizza, pasta, salad and more. Another hidden gem located near downtown Cumming, Tam’s Tupelo offers a sophisticated, yet relaxed, dining experience with a Mississippi Delta-New Orleans-inspired menu. Alternatively, Tam’s Backstage, its sister restaurant, is located in the basement of the town’s historic 1923 school building.

Vickery Village

Start the day with a coffee at the local cafe, Nido.
