Editorial Review for George's Restaurant & Bar – by Tina Sozen
The Scene
It's a slice of Americana filling two essential niches, a bar-lover's bar and a burger-lover's heaven. Established in 1961, George's hasn't changed much since then, and therein lies the charm. During the warmer months, patrons prefer to kick back with a beer and a burger at one of the outside tables. Venture inside and find 1960s-era booths, video games, TVs, sports memorabilia, and a musty bar in the back.
The Draw
Over the years, it's become a bit rough around the edges, but the no-pretense atmosphere, prime Highland locale and affordable comfort food give this burger joint enough appeal to make it a popular hangout. Burgers--big or small, plain or smothered in Swiss cheese and mushrooms--have gained a wide following. Although there's a hit-or-miss quality to them, a $5 basket of comfort grub will make just about anyone happy.

Insider Tips
ParkingVirginia Highlands is notorious for difficult parking; at night, you can park in the hardware store's lot next door for only $3. Or drive around the corner to the back of the bar where there's a $3 pay box.
Save MoneyStop by any night of the week and quench your thirst with $5 pitchers of beer.

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.

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.
