It's summertime! School is officially out, and everyone is in complete summer mode. One of the many fun things about summer is all the free time you get which is especially true for teenagers. However, with that free time comes more time to go places to eat with your friends and, the not so fun part, to spend money. If you're going to spend your money on food, you might as well be doing it in the best, most appropriate place.
1. The Big Ketch
The Big Ketch is located on Canton Street in Roswell. While it isn't in the "heart of Canton", it's still pretty close to all of the fun shops. The Big Ketch does have inside seating, but for a more "summery" feel, they also have patio and lawn seating. While you're waiting on your table to be ready they have corn hole and other lawn games set out and ready for you to play.
2. California Pizza Kitchen (CPK)
If you live in the Alpharetta/Johns Creek/Roswell area, you've probably already eaten at California Pizza Kitchen. However, if you haven't, you need to immediately! Along with The Big Ketch, CPK has indoor and outdoor seating. While the atmosphere may not be super "summery", they change their menu each season to help you achieve that "summery" feeling you want and need. (I highly recommend the Strawberry Shortcake--they only have it during the summer time!)
3. Kona Grill
Kona Grill is located at the Avalon in Alpharetta. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but their indoor seating isn't all the way "indoors". The whole restaurant is open, as you may be able to see in the photo above. When the weather is bad they may shut down the outside seating, but other than that, this is a perfect place to go for a summertime meal.
4. Taqueria Tsunami
Taqueria Tsunami provides the best of both worlds. Their menu is super light, but still flavorful (to help you keep that bikini bod), and they have outside seating that is absolutely to die for. I could sit out there for hours, without any food! It's a rooftop setting with lounge chairs, couches and also regular seating tables.
