Quintessential Virginia Highlands bar/restaurant. I go there to sit outside (when I can get a seat) and enjoy a little sunshine, people watching and a pretty good lunch. Pros:...

I ate there on a Saturday afternoon with two friends. The burgers were really good. Six thumbs up! The service was not very good, though. I also noticed that the chain lamps...

Best good old fashioned restaurant and beer place 8/23/2008

I love George's. The family atmosphere is the best in town. I always see people I know. The service is great but it's not the Ritz. What you get at George's is normal food and certainly a malted beverage. I like to get the Char Grilled Chicken sandwich with swiss and coleslaw on the side. And a beer in a bottle. How normal is that? I love it. It's fun to get organic buffalo mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes and purple basil, etc. (Floataway Cafe.) but I can't do that every day. When I need to see friends, unwind, walk around and see the shops, go to Paolo's for gelato and take the kids. That's where I love George's. Don't miss this very traditional Atlanta restaurant. When you finally go, you'll say - What was I waiting for? This is great! Pros: Great people. Fine food. Cons: Too far to walk from my house. more

Best Place in Virginia Highlands 6/19/2008

I've been going to George's for years, live in the area. It is always great service and food. The burgers are the best in Atlanta. Family friendly. Also, runners gather here after their run on Wed. nights. Nice outdoor seating for summer, spring and fall. more

Best Burgers!! 10/2/2007

Fantastic burgers- they come in two sizes so you don't have to have a huge burger if you don't need it. Ice cold beer. Best service anywhere in the Highlands. Great sides. more

Great burgers, where they know your name 9/29/2006

This is a great, low-key neighborhood bar where the locals go for cold beer and great bugers and bar food. The weekly trivia is fun, and I've gone a few times with the weekly running group on Wednesdays. It's the only place I've ever gone where the staff recognized me and learned my name. It still captures the laidback feel of the Va-Highlands. Pros: Great burgers, friendly staff, great value Cons: Not fancy, just a neighborhood bar more

Filthy dirty combined with Iffy Service but Great Burgers 9/3/2006

I ate there on a Saturday afternoon with two friends. The burgers were really good. Six thumbs up! The service was not very good, though. I also noticed that the chain lamps hanging over each booth were filthy. Good thing I didn't notice that till after we ate, or I would have left. Pros: location Cons: location (parking problem) plus the very obvious dust & grease buildup on light fixtures more

Burgers, Beer and Rings oh my 7/13/2006

This is a wonderful hidden gem tucked away in the highlands. Take my advise order the 8oz Blue Cheese Burger with a nice cold beer and you are set.The onion rings are amazing and for just for a mere 50 cents extra...what a steal. This place is a great cozy spot where you can actually hear the person across from you and still have your voice in the morning. I highly recommend this neighborhood spot. Pros: The burgers, service more

Great Burgers. Dark Oasis. 7/11/2006

I love places like George's: Inside is a cool dark faux-wood paneling atmosphere, booths that have been there since before the Reagan adminstration, and cold Newcastle on tap. There is no pretense about this place. It is a dark and cool oasis from the dreadful summer heat of the city. more

There is no pretense about this place. It is a dark and cool oasis from the dreadful summer heat of the city. The burger with Blue Cheese is amazing. Don't waste your time ordering the 5 oz, go ahead and get the 8 oz, you won't regret it. And get the Onion Rings for an extra fifty cents..well worth it. If I was talented enough to write a novel this is the place I would do it. It could easily be the Sloppy Joe's for some future Hemingway. Good Prices, Friendly Wait Staff, and excellent burgers make this place destination location when visiting the Virginia Highlands. more
