In Short – For years George’s was known as this rough-around-the-edges joint, a sort of hidden low-key pub lodged among trend-happy eateries off North Highland. But over the years, the restaurant has stepped up their aesthetic game without losing that endearing vibe. Cozy wooden booths illuminated by classic poker table lamps make it feel like a VaHi burger spot should be. And the burgers are sneakily some of the best in Atlanta. Given an option for a 5oz or 8oz burger and served simply on a soft wheat bun, George’s unleashes a plethora of creative options without looking like they are…

The burger was good, but...

.....I would say the place needs a bit of an overhaul. Felt kind of gross. But for what the place is, it was fine.
- Pros: Cheap, Fast.
- Cons: Low Quality, Dingy

George's great burgers and two other great places
by dipwad at Citysearch
George's, the Vortex, and Ann's Hamburger stand are my three favorites in Atlanta for burgers.
All make a good homestyle burger, like those cooked in the old days by mom. BIg, juicy, good sized bun and just about anything you want on them. I like to pick my own stuff, but roasted red bell pepper adds a lot to mine, along with red onion.
- Pros: Easy to find and on the main drag in Virginia Highlands
- Cons: Parking can be hard to find
