Top 10 Restaurants in EaDo

6. Not Jus' Donuts 2020 Dowling St. The first thing to know is there are no donuts here, and the second is that the desserts are only available for walk-ins (as opposed to deliveries or order pick-ups) on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. It's worth it, though, because the cakes and pies are sweet perfection, with the kind of classic ingredients (read: lots of butter) that Southern grandmas are known for.

5. District 7 Grill 1508 Hutchins St. This place has a large menu with modern American favorites like salads, pastas, muffalettas, flatbread pizzas, and a range of gourmet burgers made from things like Kobe beef, buffalo, teriyaki-marinated mahi mahi and seared Gulf shrimp.


4. Huynh
912 St. Emanuel St.

Like many places around here, Huynh isn't much from the outside, but inside the dining room is bright and clean, with Asian touches on an otherwise minimal palette. Among other things, it's famous for the banh uot, satiny, steamed rice-flour wrappers stuffed with dried shrimp or grilled pork and tinged with a honey sweetness.
