Delicious food from Talmo Market Grill ~ Talmo, GA

A little over a year ago, my sister, mom and I met for lunch.  They asked me to meet them at Talmo Market Grill.  I had no idea where Talmo was, but I agreed!

Turns out that Talmo is not that far from my neck of the woods in NE Gwinnett county.  It's a sleepy little place that feels like the middle of nowhere, yet it only takes me about 20 minutes to get there.

Located across the street from the railroad tracks, you can either park in the small parking area, or over by the tracks.  Get there early - this is a small place and you might have to wait on a table otherwise!

The food here is simple and delicious - burgers rule the menu, (hand formed and made with grass-fed TALMO RANCH beef) but they also offer other items like chicken salad, pimento cheese, BLTs, Frito pie, or salads.  Sides include fries, potato salad, pasta salad or chili.

For dessert, there are daily specials, plus shakes, floats and rice krispie treats.



There are a few tables at the front of the restaurant, where you will place your order.  There are more in the back room, down the hall.   The building is older, and the decor is vintage to match.  It's such a comfy, cozy place to eat!

I've had a burger there, which was delicious.  The chicken salad has become my favorite thing, though!  The fries are freshly cut, hot and so good!  My sister has had salads and a burger there and they were both great.  My mom loves the burgers, too.

We shared a dessert on one visit, I think it was a cherry turnover ala mode.  It was perfect!!

Burger with pimento cheese - yum!! 








my sister's salad - she topped it with a burger patty



They also offer breakfast and it's as good as you'd imagine!! Biscuits are huge and filled with eggs, bacon or sausage - the perfect start to your day.  We got there when they opened and that was a great time to be there - it was filling up by the time we left!

Wrapped Up Teething Blanket Giveaway! #wrappedupatl



Do you like to shop for babies?   Your own, or friends & relatives with wee ones? Or you have a baby shower coming up that you need the perfect gift for? My little baby days may be over, but I have friends with little ones and I absolutely love shopping for baby gifts! Wrapped Up is Atlanta’s first babywearing and natural parenting retreat.  They just launched their online store, and the brick and mortar store will open later this Fall.   Wrapped Up is gonna be a wonderful addition to our local shopping choices!

WrappedUpAtl.com offers high quality products that appeal to the growing eco-conscious parenting niche. The online boutique has carefully chosen stock from wooden toys and teethers made by hand, stainless, silicone and glass food storage and various types of carriers for babywearing. The women behind Wrapped Up arrived at the brands and products through personal trial and error, discovering a need for such a boutique along their own journey into “Mamahood” as the site’s blog would describe it. The owners have made a point to procure several local brands, also developed and run by parents, in the Atlanta area.

Sharon Letsinger and Jessica Wall had a chance encounter at a babywearing meeting in Atlanta, quickly discovering that their sons, born two days apart, share the name Paxton. Soon after, they also realized they shared many of the same philosophies and struggles with natural parenting. The main issue was finding readily available, “ideal” parenting products. Their friendship and mutual desire to spread the babywearing and natural parenting love, brought them to start Wrapped Up - Atlanta’s first babywearing and natural parenting retreat.

Check out a few of their gorgeous offerings:  (all pics are from the Wrapped Up website)
