Where To Go When You Don’t Want To Make A Big Deal About Your Birthday, But You Actually Kinda Do
14 places for when you tell everyone you don’t want to make your birthday “a whole thing,” but you’re lying.
Maybe your family doesn’t live nearby, or maybe they do, but you’re still trying to avoid them. Either way, when you want a comforting birthday meal that feels home-cooked without actually having to speak to people you’re related to, head to Revival. Start with a few cocktails or a sweet tea on the roomy front porch of this historic former house in Decatur. Then move to a table inside and pass around plates of fried chicken, meatloaf wrapped in bacon, and sides like mac and cheese and sweet potato souffle.
