    Good everything. Since 1947, you expect it to be good and this place is better than good.

    Double cheeseburger fries and chili dog.

    One of the best burgers in Gainesville Ga. This 50's style diner is impressive. Burgers, fries and shakes are crazy good and fresh. Clean and memorable experience that we will make one of our regular weekly stops.

    French Fries plenty to share

    Good food everything is a la carte from their menu. Burgers were very good, prices were reasonable for a double smashed burger. Nice set up order at the counter then the food is delivered to your table. Wait staff stay busy making sure the restaurant is clean and table are ready to go at all times. Definitely looks and feels like a burger joint by a college campus

    Good service. Waiting on my food. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Parking is kind of tricky.

    Two chili slaw dogs and half order of hand cut fries.
    Steve C.

    First visit to this classic spot that has been open since 1947. I arrived for lunch apx 11:30 am on a Tuesday and the place was already near capacity. I took one of two remaining seats at the counter instead of waiting for a table. Seems very popular with locals as well as the folks that are working downtown. Collegiate has a relaxed, 50s feel to it with its decor and music. I ordered two chili slaw dogs and a 1/2 order of fries, and both hit the spot! Part of the magic of the hotdogs I felt was that the buns were very fresh, buttered and slightly toasted! The toppings were wonderful. The fries are hand cut, which makes all the difference. One thing I didn't like was the barstools, even though they looked cushioned, were super hard. Time to reupholster these and get some cushion underneath them.

    Cheeseburger

    This diner has history. You walk in and you can feel it. Sitting on the covered deck, I was able to listen to the sounds of the city and the musical birds in the nearby trees, with an occasional light breeze. Very comfortable. I had a chocolate shake, hand-spun, perfectly blended. A cheese burger with grilled onions, which had just the right amount of grease, and chili cheese fries, which had a ton of cheese and chili. The waitress, Rachel, was cordial and full of southern hospitality, just a pleasure to be around, had great energy. I will definitely be returning anytime I have a hankering for a burger and shake.

    Mmmm tea

    These folks do a Great flat top burger. I really enjoy coming here to the friendly staff and fast service. My "go to" is a bacon cheeseburger with slaw onions and pickles.. And a side of fries...its making me hungry! They also make sinful shakes!

William was our server, and he did a great job taking care of us. The three of them ordered pulled pork sandwiches. I ordered the fried oyster plate with mac and cheese and collard greens. I'm picky about my mac & cheese, and asked William how theirs was. He said, "It's made with real cheese," not velveeta. It was just like homemade. The greens were also good, seasoned with some pork and bacon. And the oysters were nice too, with a light crispy coating and a sauce made in house. The pulled pork sandwiches were good too. Very clean, well-lit restaurant in the downtown area. I look forward to returning on future visits to see Dad!

Fortunately for us, a friend went by the Green Street location on 7/24 and let us know it was CLOSED! We were able to plan another party at nearby Recess, but are still are very disappointed with NGB management for not notifying us of the pending closure. If our friend hadn't alerted us, imagine the anger of 30 hungry party guests. Shame on you, North Georgia BBQ! What a shameful way to do business.
