Patios and outdoor dining in Sandy Springs

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Five of the seven places on this list are on Roswell Road, from Big B’s near Windsor Parkway to Kid Cashew and Mellow Mushroom near City Springs. Pontoon Brewing’s patio is in the north, on Dunwoody Place, and Bruster’s has outdoor seating on Johnson Ferry Road.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Sandy Springs’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, plus the restaurants on our other food lists, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 6, 2026. A place is on this list only if its own site says it has a patio or outdoor seating; many more Sandy Springs restaurants have outdoor tables but do not say so on their sites, and several sites blocked our check. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Have a patio and a page that says so? Write to us and we will check it and add you.
