Zagat Surveys: Americas Most Prestigious Dining and Shopping Guide 2002-2003 Survey "Like a comfortable shoe," this "family owned" bar and grill has served as a "friendly" meeting place for Va. Highlanders for more than four decades. "Wonderfully atmospheric," it cooks up one of the best burgers in town" - that's enough to make it a "neighborhood icon." 2004-2005 Survey Review Highlights: ""Where regulars go for real food and real people," this Virginia Highlands bar and grill has been a "favorite" of many since 1961 for its "righteous burgers" and other American eats, and "friendly" service; whether you "enjoy the crowd walking by" from a sidewalk table or camp out in the casual room that hasn't changed in 30 years," it's a "terrific little joint" delivering "great value". 2005-2006 Survey Review Highlights: "Where regulars go for real food and real people," this Virginia Highlands bar and grill has been a "favorite" of many since 1961 for its "righteous burgers" and other American eats, and "friendly" service; whether you "enjoy the crowd walking by" from a sidewalk table or camp out in the casual room that hasn't changed in 30 years," it's a "terrific little joint" delivering "great value". 2006-2007 Survey - Rated Excellent Review Highlights: "Definitely not for fashionistas", "local favorite" for more than four decades thanks to "fantastic burgers" and other "standard" American bar fare. A "good beer selection" and a "friendly staff" that "remembers you"; "families", "twenty- and thirtysomethings" and assorted "locals" vie for tables on the "tiny patio" to "people-watch" on the "bustling" corner. Guest Quarters: 1985 & 1987 Best of Atlanta Award is presented to George's: In recognition of your contribution to the distinctive lifestyle and dynamic environment that makes Atlanta Atlanta. Southern Living: June 1995 When the Olympic world comes questing for perfect Atlanta burgers next summer, where will we send them? One hungry Georgia night, a few of us set out with empty stomachs and open minds to find the beefy best of the bunch around the Olympic city. First stop: George's 1041 North Highland, in the Virginia Highlands area. A real Olympic weight lifting event. Eight ounces of 100% beef loaded to the max with munch. Is success hidden in George's secret seasoning (we couldn't wheedle the recipe); the persistent sports on TV, the deep booths, or the onion rings the size of Barbie doll Hula Hoops? We elected the bacon and Monterrey Jack burger ($6.50) as the gold medalist. September 2007 |
