Let me start by saying I'm not a smash burger lover, but Smiley's is another story! During my first…read morevisit, I'd already gotten something else for dinner and wanted to grab fries. So, I decided to stop by here since it was nearby. I ended up getting the smiley faces, and they were seasoned SO well! I had to come back for more another time and couldn't resist trying a double burger. Wow! I chose to get the sauce on the side so I could taste mainly the patties first, and no surprise... they were seasoned beautifully too. The potato bun is soft and airy and pairs perfectly. I've been back quite a few times since then, and I'm never disappointed. I went to a late spring/early summer Braves game with plans to order from one of the main stalls. But when I spotted the Smiley's logo during their residency at the Giving Kitchen stall, I immediately changed my mind about ordering anything else! The food is consistent across the board, and I know it will remain a go-to choice. No pictures to share... I always get to the food before I can snap one.

Absolutely delicious. We also got a pimento cheese sandwich for like $5 and their fries and smiley fries. I thought their plain fries were fine but the smileys were great! I didn't expect them to be crispy but they were! I didn't love their fry sauce but overall the food was amazing! They don't have a ton of parking so you have to park in the neighborhood but overall I really enjoyed this place!

It can get packed later at night so I recommend coming earlier in the evening. The inside was pretty cozy but there are seats outside as well. Soon after we sat down, there was a live performer that played guitar and sang songs, she was so good! For the food, the ribs were delicious. The ribs fell right off the bone. 1/2 slab of ribs were more than enough for a meal. The rum baked beans and the collard greens were my personal favorite sides. This is a great neighborhood bbq place and I would def come back again!

Any early closures or shutdowns or any information that you need, they will post on Instagram before you make your way there. I cannot stress this enough check IG 1st! But once you make it there, you will be addicted! The service has always been amazing for me. The food is always fresh and hot. I've been a dine in customer. I've been a takeout customer, DoorDash and Uber Eats customer. I haven't been to the newest establishment. They moved a little bit further away from me, but not too much further, but I can guarantee you the quality is the same. And from what I've seen, there is a lot more space for customers to dine in and have a great experience. Now back to the food these are some of the best burgers I've ever had in my entire life. The meat is so tender, and the patties are so juicy. The flavor is just out of this world. One of my favorite entrées was the salmon pita, but sometimes I would get chicken. It really didn't matter the protein for me it was the toppings. The fresh veggies along with the feta cheese and the green herb sauce really takes this dish over the top. I'll always had to get an extra side of the sauce because it's that good.

We drove 40+ min because this is constantly rated the best burger. We were confused how to order,…read morethe lady behind the counter sort of ignored us, a guy from the kitchen came out, i asked if we order in the counter, he said just grab a table, we'll get to you... 10 minutes nothing, a few min later someone is at the bar i asked her if we can order, she said to be patient there is only 2 servers, they will stop by our table... people start to gather by the register (may be 10 guests) the first lady behind the counter said there is 40 min wait... about 30 min in, someone who was waiting by the register (no table) was able to put in their order in, we make another attempt to order. The young server said there is only 2 of them and they cant get to us. They seat more people and get their order but we continue being ignored... At 40 min we decide to leave, others left too... too bad we didnt even get to try it.

May 3rd, 2014 - Atlanta Burger Tour #3…read more We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to explore the city. It was a Saturday, traffic was light, the skies were bright & the temperature was gorgeous. If that weren't enough, EVERYWHERE we went today we were greeted warmly. What's a Burger Tour you ask? It's when a group of really cool yelpers get together to share a burger at different establishments around town. Depending on the size, we will split burgers in two's and sometimes three's. By sharing the burgers, we have room to try different places all in the same day. This time we stayed inside the city limits for some classic neighborhood eats. ------------ - - - - - - A N N ' S S N A C K B A R Our Tour began @ Ann's Snack Bar. It's small, only accommodating about 8 people at a time inside. However, our group of 13 had plenty of space on the patio. Although we arrived 1/2 hour before opening, to our surprise Miss Ann and her staff came out to greet us, take our orders, and offer drinks while we waited for our Ghetto Burgers. My regular Burger Crew of Bill, Jose, Tanya, Lindy & Jamarcus were there as well as a few newbies like Panida, Willie, Annie, Bear, Tahnita, Jackie and Yulanda. Miss Ann was on point to day. Faster than normal service and WOW was she engaging. She sat with us for about a half hour towards the end of our meal & told us stories of her long 40 year career as a business owner. Great stories about the famous people that have entered her doors (her favorite being P-Diddy). Miss Ann is unfiltered, so it was a lively conversation. As for the burger, if you don't know, you betta ask somebody! It's the shizzle fo'rizzle my nizzle. A R G O S Y The lovely Helena joined us for this leg of the tour. I am an artist. Not by profession, but I've had the art gene racing through my blood since elementary school where I designed sets for plays and our graduation program. I dabble in interior and exterior design, so Argosy was extremely appealing to my visual sensory glands. Everything about Argosy was a feast for my eyes. I probably annoyed the group as I couldn't stop saying how much I loved the look, from the reclaimed wood on the walls, to the old fashion light bulbs & stools made out of tree stumps. The burger was also a feast for the eyes. Probably the most beautiful burger presentation I've ever seen, and its taste did not disappoint. Of all the burgers we sampled today, I could taste the quality of beef the best in the Plancha Burger here. L I T T L E ' S F O O D S T O R E & G R I L L Nestled in the heart of Cabbagetown is a neighborhood gem that has been in existence since 1929. Run by the Little Family for more than half a century, this charming little grocery store has changed ownership a few times over the years. Economic hardship caused the doors to briefly close in 2005 only to find itself in jeopardy again in 2013. But thanks to a rally cry from the local community, Little's was saved to fight another day.... and we are very grateful. The couple that now owns the store are warm & welcoming. The whole experience made me wish I was lucky enough to be a resident within walking distance, because I could see myself coming here EVERY day to eat & have conversation. I truly enjoyed my visit. We were starting to feel the weight of our task today, so we all chose to get the slider-sized regular burger they are know for. It was outstanding! C Y P R E S S S T R E E T P I N T & P L A T E Our final stop brought us to this vibrant little neighborhood joint where the air is filled with music playing on the garden patio. Kristin B popped in to take a break from her final exam studies. At this point we were stuffed, but just had to have one of the most unique burgers of the Tour. The Sublime Burger, which is sandwiched between two glazed donuts acting as the bun! SHUT UP!!! In a way it was the perfect ending to our day as this burger almost became dessert. Couple it with the sweet potatoes fries and you are in for a real treat. THE VERDICT Who won as the best burger of the Tour you ask? Well, let me just say every burger was a winner, each in it's own right is worthy of multiple visits. The clear winner for most of the group was the Ghetto Burger @ Ann's. It's a beast of a burger for only $10 (that also includes fries and a drink). But I am a fan of "the new" as Anton Ego put it in the movie Ratatouille. I'm very familiar with Ann's, but Argosy, Little's & Cypress Pint were all new experiences for me. Each will hold a special place as each had it's own personality in both décor and taste. I honestly don't have a favorite this time when it comes to the food. However, if I were going by feelings only, Little's is simply a special place that captured my heart. It's the kind of neighborhood joint that hearkens back to the days where at most you only walked a few blocks to do your shopping and where the shop owner might also be your neighbor... and friend.

God I love burgers. Prior to the Burger Tour, I would have said that I could eat one a day and be…read morehappy. After the Burger Tour, I didn't want to see another burger for a long time. We stopped at three different establishments on a lovely Sunday morning/afternoon to determine whose burger reigns supreme. Holeman and Finch Our first stop on the tour was at Holeman and Finch. We strategically planned this outing on a Sunday so that we would be able to grab one of these suckers. I am not one to sit in a bar for hours on end waiting until 10 pm to be able to grab a coveted burger. Fortunately, they offer their burger on the Sunday brunch menu. The restaurant opens promptly at 11:30 am. I arrived at 11 am and there was already about 15 or so people in line. Fortunately, some people in our group are early birds and were the second ones in line. The line had stretched around the side of the building by the time the doors officially opened. There was a mad dash for the entryway instead of an orderly filing inside the building. Good luck not getting run over. We were seated at one of the larger communal tables. Everyone talks about how great this burger is. One would expect to be let down when trying it out for the first time. I was not let down. This burger was a thing of beauty. Two beef patties smothered in American cheese with onions and pickles. I'm not a pickle on burgers fan so I picked mine off and Brent H. happily consumed them for me. I normally add mayo to my burgers, but this burger does not need anything added to it. Pure greasy perfection. Totally worth the wait on a Sunday morning. I'm still not willing to come during the week, though. One Eared Stag Brent H. mentioned that One Eared Stag now had a burger that we just had to try. I called the restaurant to find out if they happened to offer said burger for Sunday brunch. They told me that I would need to call the day of to find out. I was also warned that they ran out of burgers on the day I called so we should come earlier in the day to be on the safe side. We debated what our second destination would be while we were sitting and Holeman and Finch. We ended up coming here second so that we would be able to grab some before they ran out. They call their burger The Meat Stick here. Our server assured us that this burger would beat Holeman and Finch's burger hands down. That's a ballsy statement. Their burger is also a double patty with American cheese. They add pickles, onions, and what our server called pickled onions that tasted like banana peppers to me (and looked sort of like banana peppers). The burger is served with a steak knife. Perfect for our group as we were splitting all of the burgers. This burger is not as greasy as H&F's. It was really, really good. Just not H&F good. OES did have the best fries of the group. I almost got sidetracked while sitting here waiting on our burgers and watching all of the delicious brunch items pass us by. I love eating brunch here. I did get a Pimm's Cup to enjoy with my meal. It was the best Pimm's Cup I've had in town. Another reason to head back soon. Seven Lamps We headed over to Seven Lamps for our final burger of the tour. This place offers a 50/50 burger that's not on their menu. Just ask for it and they will happily prepare it for you. This burger was one big patty with some sort of melted cheese, bacon, onion, pickles, and a sauce reminiscent of the kind served on Big Macs. Sadly, this burger was a distant third when compared to the other two. The bun had an obscene amount of sesame seeds on it. I felt like I tasted the sesame seeds more than the actual burger. Very distracting. The fries here were also disappointing. A lackluster ending to our afternoon. I will say that I returned here recently and someone in our group ordered this burger and it looked a lot better than the one we were served on the day of the Burger Tour. The fries were also amazing. So much better than previously. Maybe they have a third string cook for Sunday brunches? It's a shame because I definitely would have liked the burger I saw served to my friend. Overall, it was an amazing afternoon. I'm looking forward to the next round!

I get tired of the lemon pepper dry rub or the dry rub with butter/oil. They made an actual sauce. Love it. The burger was delicious. It was more cookout style- not like Wendys or McDonald's. Cons The cheese on top of my mac and cheese was not melted. I'm sure this was a choice by the restaurant, but I prefer melted cheese on top of the mac. Would I Recommend: Yes!

They were out of several things on the menu including Tater Tots but they did have fries... which wasn't even on the menu? They just substituted without telling me, which wasn't a problem but an example of the communication style. More importantly they were out of biscuits which to me is just unacceptable at a chicken place. It also took forever to get my food and you just have to stand around awkwardly in the middle of the walkway while waiting to hopefully hear your order because they certainly aren't trying extremely hard to make sure you hear or that they get the order to you, if you don't hear they'll just sit it down until you come ask - which happened to a few people I was standing with. They also don't have ketchup which is weird I think, my kids just wanted some ketchup with their chicken and fries.

Loved Since '61... But Missing the Spark…read more Remember when George's was where you went for the burger you craved, the beer you didn't have to think twice about, and the vibe that felt like "your spot"? For decades, it's been the heartbeat of Virginia-Highland -- a Midtown and local favorite since 1961. Lately though, the spark feels dim. The food's just okay, the patio's lost its buzz, and the timeless charm feels more tired than classic. These neighborhoods thrive on local spots with character, consistency, and community -- and George's has the history to be exactly that again. Here's hoping they rally the team, sharpen the menu, and bring back the flavor and energy that made us all regulars in the first place.
