Dusk view along a brick-paved sidewalk lined with stacked black café chairs, tables and closed white patio umbrellas under a timber-framed awning; above it rises a two-storey red-brick building with a white Victorian-style upper gallery, glowing iron lamp posts and an American flag. Across the street a low row of brick storefronts is strung with holiday lights and red bows, a black sedan turns at the corner, and a street sign on the right reads "Webb St" / "Canton St" with a "Webb St Shops" arrow. Bare winter trees, pale pink sky.

This list covers the Historic District, not the whole city. Each restaurant has its own website and a Visit Roswell directory listing, read on 2026-10-18. Hours are copied as posted. Distances are straight lines from the visitor center at 1099 Alpharetta Street. We print no prices or ratings, because we could not source them for every place.
