As I am new to the area I don't know what restaurants and such are good in the Snellville area but there's one place I can recommend.

It's called:
Summit's Wayside Tavern 3334 Stone Mountain Highway A, Snellville

It's a bar & grill, they have an entire wall of beer on tap and the food is considerably better than standard bar fare.  They have an outdoor area as well.  The guy we bought our house from said they have the best wings you've ever had which is a bold claim.  I've not tried them yet.  It was a little loud for my taste but YMMV.  Great atmosphere in my opinion.

Fox City Brewing Co in Forsyth GA (not county). Website
They opened back in June of 2020 I believe (great timing, damn Covid)
This is more of a restaurant than brewery. Food is top notch for small city dining plus their beer is good (especially their Stout). Can seat a good bit of people in 3 different dining areas (probably close to 180-200) plus 2 large outdoor decks.
My wife & I went 4-6 weeks ago for a early dinner and was blown away by the quality of food.
We had the Smoked Gouda Pimento Cheese for a starter (liked it so much we ordered another order to go).
She had the Center Cut Filet steak
I had the Beer Braised Short Rib Sliders

We will certainly visit again

About the only place me and the wife ever go around here is Henry's Louisiana Grill in Acworth and we also like Bigun's BBQ in Talking Rock. Both get quite crowded on the weekend but we like them. We really don't go too many other places.

Forsyth County is really a depressing county for unique places outside of the typical chain shit.

A few bright spots though.

-Amos’ BBQ midway between Cumming and Ball Ground.

-5 Boroughs Pizza has a good pizza pie and wings.

-Casa Nuova Italian. Farm to table place owned/operated by a family. My favorite restaurant in the area.

-The Ridge Chophouse. Steak/seafood place similar to a Stoney River.

-NoFo Brewery right on the Forsyth/Dawson border is a fun Weekend hang out. Routinely have food trucks, Cornhole and music. Outdoor area with firepits as well plus the beers are pretty good.

-Cherry Street brewing at Halcyon. Better beers and good food plus the draw of the rest of Halcyon. Gu’s dumplings are there if you’re into that sort of thing.

Marie’s Italian Deli. Good pizzas, deli sandwiches and desserts.

Gusthaus Tirol...German and European cuisine.

Slow Pour Brewing in Gwinnett (Lawrenceville). Typical brewery experience, large outdoor area with tables and  cornhole, they regularly have food trucks on site, live music and comedy nights occasionally. In the heart of downtown Lawrenceville in an old converted building.

Tucker Brewing in Tucker has good German style beers and recently opened their kitchen which has good food and a seasonal menu.  Large Biergarden and outdoor stage with periodic live bands.  

Three Taverns Brewing in Decatur is a cool spot, their specialty is sour beers but they also do some wild flavored high gravity imperial stouts that are often quite good.  They are partnered with a Meat Pie vendor but will occasionally have other food and snacks for sale.  Also offer limited bottlings and growlers/crowlers.

Meltons in Decatur is a good little pub/bar, Irish nachos are the shit.  

Leon's Full Service in Decatur is an awesome restaurant with a good cocktail menu.

Pea Ridge restaurant in Decatur is another small local spot with good food that changes often.

Dacula:  

Edee's Place BBQ  2300 Liam Ave, Dacula, GA 30019

Short of going to Texas, you won't find better brisket

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Brunch Apothecary 2595 Fence Rd, Dacula 30019

Only open Thurs - Sun 9a - 2p.  Wait times to be seated can get long, but the food is that good.  They will charge you for everything though, as I found out when I ordered country fried steak that didn't come with gravy.

Lawrenceville:

Universal Joint 181 W Pike St, Lawrenceville, GA 30046

Burger and beer joint, Good food and not over priced

Bethlehem:

True Vine Southern Kitchen 916 Loganville Highway, Bethlehem, GA 30620

Chicken centric fare, but well done and usually quick service.

Duluth:

Frankie's the Steakhouse 6500 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, GA 30097

Reservations are required, business casual dress code.  Great date night dinner place, frankly in my opinion is head and shoulders above Ray's.  Plan on spending 150-200 before tip.

I know this a longshot but I have to ask.  In the early eighties a friend I worked with took me to a little place in downtown Atlanta.  It didn't look like anything special, small brick building, and it was small, maybe about 20 customers, mostly businessmen.  They served barbeque and the reason I'm asking, Brunswick Stew. It was the first time I'd had that and get it any time it's on the menu. I know I'm giving little detail, but like I said it was over 40 years ago.  I recall my friend making this place out to be an institution that everyone knew of but it was my first time there.  The stew made a lasting impression and I would love to take my wife there next month when we go house hunting. From the rest of the suggestions we're going to for sure go to Bigguns.  It's going to be our 38th anniversary as well so I'm going to take her to one of the favorites in Blue Ridge or Dahlonega, won't know which until we get on the ground. We're big foodies and it seems Blue Ridge has a lot to offer so we're probably gonna concentrate in that area, homes as well as food. I waited some great places back in the day but all within the 285 perimeter. Really looking forward to see how the North Georgia Mountains have grown. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and any help in identifying my mystery restaurant.

Harold’s bbq.  Great place, but it’s been outta business for a while.  It would fill up quickly at lunch.  I’ve eaten there dozens and dozens of times.

Damn, that's a shame.  But thanks so much for at least curing that itch I've had for a long time.

I just searched Harold's BBQ and this link came up.  That's the place! Damn, damn, damn.  Funny the article even calls it an institution.
