The Waterfront Cafe in Edgewater | Waterfront Cafe
Travel north for a wide variety of eating options, from diners to dives to fine dining.
Edgewater contains multitudes: Edgewater Beach, Edgewater Glen, Magnolia Glen, even, some claim, Andersonville. It also contains a multitude of eating options: old school diners, newfangled Thai and sushi restaurants, regional Mexican spots, a fast food joint that serves Korean chicken wings, dark dive bars, bright and cozy coffee shops, and an outdoor cafe with a spectacular view of the lake. But what almost all these restaurants have in common is that they’re family owned and staffed by people who want to share they food they love.
