Whether you’re a local or just passing through, downtown Dublin is a treasure trove of flavors that promises something for every taste. Here’s where to eat when you visit:
Jack’s Hamburgers
Kick off your Dublin food journey with a local legend at Jack’s Hamburgers. In a historic lean-to building downtown, Jack’s is a Dublin institution. For over 70 years, they’ve perfected the art of the steamed burger and dog—soft, delicious sliders that beat any chain. Grab a sack of burgers or dogs, sit at the long counter, chat with the cooks, and soak in the nostalgia of this iconic spot.
Miller’s Soul Food
Craving comfort food? Look no further than Miller’s Soul Food. Since 1955, this cornerstone of Dublin has been serving up the best fried chicken, fresh fish, and oxtails that are “slap your mama” good. Each dish, from the oxtails soaked in savory gravy to the crispy, perfectly seasoned fried chicken, brings you the heart and soul of Southern cooking. Don’t skip the sides—collard greens, mac & cheese, black-eyed peas, and candied yams complete the meal.
Saltwater Fishery
For a taste of the coast in the heart of Georgia, Saltwater Fishery transforms fresh, local ingredients into spectacular seafood dishes. Located in a beautifully restored diner downtown, the ambiance is as refreshing as the menu. Grab a bite of their soft shell crab BLT, scored flounder, or standout crab cakes. For a perfect evening, head up to the Flybridge, their rooftop bar, where live music and classic cocktails complement the stellar views.
Society Kaffee
There’s more than just good eating in Downtown Dublin! Need a coffee break? Society Kaffee is your go-to. This cozy café not only serves excellent coffee and treats but also provides a space for studying, meeting, or relaxing. Choose a book, enjoy the free Wi-Fi, or engage in a friendly game of Battleship. With its menu of coffees, teas, and special creations like the Affogato with Rosie’s Handmade Ice Cream, Society Kaffee is a delightful spot to unwind.
Company Supply
Company Supply takes Southern cuisine to new heights. Situated in a century-old dry goods store, this spot features a live rotisserie and an open flame that brings out the rich flavors of dishes like Catfish Perdu and Chipotle Pimento Cheese. Enjoy their locally sourced dishes paired with Georgia-grown microbrews or a selection of fine wines and spirits. And don’t miss the live music on the weekends!
Deano’s Italian
You can’t finish your culinary tour in Dublin until you eat at Deano’s Italian. Known for their wood-fired pizzas and Italian-inspired classics, Deano’s has earned accolades from USA Today and Paula Deen. The ambiance, created by the wood oven imported from Italy and situated in a beautifully restored loft-style space, sets the tone for a perfect evening out.

This brewery is the heartbeat of the local beer scene, offering unique brews like the “Opening Day” IPA and the “Wheatchathinkin” American Wheat.
