Or you can order some alcoholic slushies or shakes (very good). Thick wooden benches & tables for seating. Clean dining. Food's good. Restrooms are trippy. Jet black toilets. So unless there's a reflection coming off the water it looks like you're staring into the abyss. Anyway, nice place. Looks like it used to be a gas station converted into a restaurant. Only challenge is parking. Very limited. But good eats. Check it.

Great fries!! Cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. Smash burgers with fun sauces.read more

Every time we visit my cousin in Social Circle, Georgia, one stop is practically guaranteed: Hot…read moreRod's Diner. We've eaten here enough times that it feels less like a restaurant visit and more like part of the tradition. Tonight I ordered the Blue Plate Special with hamburger steak smothered in grilled onions, collard greens, green beans, cornbread, and a big bowl of Brunswick stew. My unsweet tea stayed filled thanks to Rhonda, who was serving tables while also managing the restaurant. We learned that Hot Rod's started the evening with three servers scheduled. Business was slow, so one server was sent home. Naturally, that's when things picked up. Even so, Rhonda and the remaining server kept everything moving smoothly, and we never felt neglected during our visit. The Brunswick stew was excellent and gave us an unexpected opportunity for comparison. Earlier in the day we had Brunswick stew at Fresh Air Bar-B-Que. Hot Rod's version was chunkier, with larger pieces of meat, more noticeable vegetables, and a slight kick of spice. The Fresh Air version was smoother and more finely blended. Both were excellent, but they were definitely different styles. The hamburger steak was flavorful, the green beans and collard greens tasted like proper Southern vegetables, and when the Texas Pete hit the table there was only one thing to say: "My man, Texas Pete goes on the collards." Then came the surprise ending. We learned that peach cobbler was half price today. Unfortunately, they were out. Or so we thought. A fresh cobbler was still in the oven. For the next several minutes, the suspense reached maximum peach. Finally, the cobbler emerged from the kitchen and was served à la mode. The French gave it a classy name. The South perfected the application. Warm peaches, a buttery cobbler topping, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream that immediately melted with a purpose made for the perfect ending to the meal. It was absolutely worth the wait. Hot Rod's continues to be one of our favorite stops in Social Circle, and after another great meal, I have no doubt we'll be back again the next time we're in town. Hot Rod's Diner 294 N Cherokee Rd Social Circle, GA 30025

While visiting my sister in Georgia, I'm stumbled across this place ...I'm glad I finally did! I'm pleased to say it lived up to expectations. The burger was a nice size and flavorful, the fries were crisp and well-seasoned, and the shake was excellent. Even the chicken (which I ordered for my son), unexpectedly, were quite good. The service was pleasant, though on the slower side, which I actually took as a good sign that the food is made fresh to order. The place appeared clean and well-maintained, and the fact that it operates 24 hours a day is certainly a convenient perk. Overall, a great experience and I look forward to returning.

It can get a little loud at times, but that's because it's busy and kids are playing. Overall, a great location. Monroe, great location.

As always, the staff is cordial, but the drive-through is one of the worst Chick-fil-A drive-through I've ever suffered through. The lines, even though they have two are often very slow. I know they are often dealing with young people who aren't as experienced dealing with different situations, but it makes me wonder what the management is up to.

I especially like the added fish offerings during the Easter/Lenten season. However, I do not like it when the cashier cannot ring up the price correctly. The two for six offering should ring up as $6.00 and not as $3.45 and $3.50. Likewise, the same for a senior drink. My total bill came out to over $ 10.00. I complained. On the do over, it came out to $8.01. A partial victory, but still not correct. The cashier try to explain that the tax was included in the $3.45. Being hungry I decided not to point out that the tax on $3.00 would be 21 cents, not 45. Cashiers need better training.

I don't understand people complaining of waiting 10 or 15 minutes for food, that always comes out fresh and well presented!

I always have to come in because I'm in my work truck which is to big for drive thru, so i can't speak on drive-thru experience. I will always be happy to come to this location!

It took three of them to take one order for one person. Nobody knew what they were doing. I paid almost $14 for a jalapeño cheeseburger large sized meal. They gave me my order number to place on my table and a large cup for my drink. It took them almost 15 minutes to get me my food and I had to walk up front to ask about it. Bear in mind there was only one other person in there in front of me. When I got my food, my hamburger was cold and my fries were not far behind that. I should've gone back and asked for a new hamburger, but I was so disgusted by the ignorance and lack of training of the staff that I just wanted to eat something and leave the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very very clean and as I said before, obviously very new. I stopped at the bathroom before I left. But for a new building and a bathroom that looked clean, the whole bathroom smelled like urine. I also have to say they added pickles to a hamburger that wasn't supposed to have pickles and I had to take them off before I ate my cold hamburger. I have eaten that several other Whataburger in different towns and had a good experience. This Whataburger in Griffin, Georgia, clearly has bad training and bad management and it is just opened. I will never be back to this Whataburger again. I had to repeat four times what I did not want on my hamburger. And that's with three of them standing there helping each other. Avoid this location of Whataburger at all costs.
