Of course, Atlanta is home to thousands of delicious restaurants, with yummy cuisine from cultures all over the world. But one of our staples is, without a doubt, southern soul food. So it’s no surprise that Southern Living just named one of Atlanta’s iconic staples as one of the top travel designations for southern food!
Mary Mac’s Tea Room has been named on Southern Living’s list ‘15 Southern Restaurants At The Top Of Our Readers’ Bucket Lists’
Here’s what Southern Living says about Mary Mac’s
Commonly referred to as “Atlanta’s Dining Room,” Mary Mac’s is the last of 16 original tea rooms that were strewn across the city in the 1940s. The Southern comfort cuisine you’ll find here covers all the bases, from chicken and dumplings to cube steak with brown onion gravy. The fried green tomatoes are famous, and the desserts are decadent (try the banana pudding or cobbler made with locally grown Georgia peaches). Though the city has changed considerably over the past 80 years, Mary Mac’s hasn’t—and hopefully never will.
Mary Mac’s temporarily closed earlier last year, due to a roof collapse. They are now back open, and just as good as before!
