I've been coming to Rhea's 2 for as long as I can remember, and honestly, the only thing that seems to have changed is the prices! The food is still great, the atmosphere is still the same, and it's one of those places that has been a Roswell staple for as long as I can remember. If you know, you know. Always worth a visit! read more

Good food. The lady that took our order was super rude and that ruined the whole experience.

Rheas is probably the best burger around. I grew up going there in high school and continue now and it's always been SO RIDICULOUSLY TASTY. Not fancy, just delicious. The fries are great too. Definite diamond in the rough, hole-in-the-wall greatness. My mouth waters just thinking about it. read more

It was between this and NFA. I love NFA so thought I'd give Rhea's a try... Regretfully, the burger was just ok and $18 price point w/ fries (very small portion of both), definitely not worth it. When second guessing goes wrong.. lesson learned. read more

Rhea's 2 - Bacon cheese burger & fries. - Burgers Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

See all

I've lived in Georgia since 1999 and went to Roswell High, so I've known Rhea's since the early days. The original Rhea's near downtown Roswell was the burger spot back in the day, then the second location opened near the high school, and now Rhea's II off Highway 9 is the one that's stood the test of time. The other two may be gone, but this one's still going strong -- and I'm so glad it is. My buddy @Motovlogic told me they've got the best BLT, and honestly, I wasn't expecting to be blown away by something so simple. But wow... this BLT is perfection. The brioche bread is perfectly toasted with butter, giving it just the right crisp without being hard. The bacon is flavorful and perfectly cooked, the lettuce set up is perfect and not watery, the tomatoes are just the right thickness, and the mayo ties it all together beautifully. It's simple, but the balance and flavor are unmatched. They also make excellent burgers, patty melts, and fries... exactly what you want from a classic local diner. Pair any of it with an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero and you've got yourself the perfect meal. The staff is always friendly and consistent, and that consistency is part of what's made them a Roswell staple all these years. If you're anywhere near Roswell or Alpharetta, do yourself a favor and stop by Rhea's II and help support our local businesses!! You won't regret it. #RoliEats #Goodeats #RheasII #RoswellGA #BLT #RoswellEats #FoodieReview #SupportLocal #CocaCola read more

You can find this Rhea's location at 11490 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 600 Roswell, GA 30076 - this is a rather nondescript row of businesses that feature I think two restaurants, with Rhea's 2 towards the center. It's rather hard to see as the signage is basically nonexistent. There's parking out front, seems to be plenty with many people coming in and out, including lots of take out. This is one of those classic hole-in-the-wall burger joints - fairly no-nonsense with various burger and chicken combinations (double meat, texas toast or bun, etc) with fries or rings as options. You get a waft of cooked ground beef as you near the front door. The interior is sparse and utilitarian, but it fits in well with the burger joint theme. You're basically sitting in the same room as the small kitchen (mostly a griddle under an exhaust hood). If you're eating in, the same person greeting you will also take your order and later your payment - it's a simple business for a throwback to simpler times. On to the lunch - we each ordered the double meat option, mine on a bun and my friend's on Texas toast. I also optioned for the large fries while he got the small. The burger was closer to a smash burger but some crust but not the degree of, say MF Burger. Still very good and very satisfying. In all a pretty decent burger for a reasonable price, and close to the Mall to boot. I believe the original Rhea's was on Canton street - it's now a minute-mart type place directly across from Canton Street Stout Brothers. As it was then, service is still good but you need to be patient as there are only two people working in the restaurant. read more

My better half and I were in Roswell and wanted to grab a quick lunch on Saturday afternoon. We tried grabbing lunch at a deli where we had dined previously but it is closed on Saturday and Sunday. I checked Yelp and saw several positive reviews for Rhea's 2. We had trouble locating it because it is located in a non-descriptive strip shopping center with poor signage. It is located next to a Harley Davidson dealership and we finally pulled into the strip shopping center lot and parked in front of the restaurant. We entered and found a plain Jane, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The owner greeted us and asked if we had ever dined at Rhea's 2. We told her it was our first visit. She recommended their #1 which is Jimmy Rhea's Special Cheeseburger. We decided when in Rome and the owner recommends a menu item that we should give it a try. We ordered the double patty and bacon on our cheeseburger. It comes dressed with tomato and shredded lettuce and is served on Texas toast. We both loved the cheeseburger. We also ordered a small side of onion rings and fries. My better half loved her cheeseburger and thought the onion rings were awesome. It was late afternoon and the owner was busy cleaning table tops and it was evident she takes pride in maintaining a clean dining area. The owner is also the server and cashier. There appeared to be only one other employee, the cook who was standing out front when we entered the restaurant. Our burger was enjoyable and the prices are great for the burger and a side. Check them out if you work in the area or find yourself on Alpharetta Highway near the hospital. read more

I think their Jimmy rhea's special is a bit bigger now but so is the price. 2 jimmy rhea's specials with double meat plus bacon plus 1 order of large fries and a bill for just over $35 (not including the tip). Seems high to me considering that this is a paper plate place. Yes, delicious and greasy and messy. read more

Rhea's 2 - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

I have been in search of the best patty melt in Atlanta. My first pick was Millers Ale House, but the discontinued their version. Rhea's has done a very respectable version on Texas Toast. This will be my new local favorite! Burger is incredibly juicy, the burger to cheese to bread ratio is ON POINT. Let me know what you guys think! read more

If you're hunting for the best burger in Roswell, Rhea's 2 just might be it. They claim the top spot--and honestly, they're not far off. I went with the Rhea's Special on Texas toast, and it was everything you want in a burger: juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. This place is the definition of a classic dive joint--no frills, no fluff, just damn good food. Prices are super reasonable, and the vibe is exactly what you'd expect from a place that puts all its energy into the grill, not the decor. Don't come looking for avocado aioli or artisan buns--come here when you want a real-deal burger that delivers. We have baseball all the time at nearby Hembree Park, this is just too easy. read more

It's my favorite burger. Clean plate club everytime! They are super nice and always recognize regular customers! read more

Rhea's 2 - Rhea's Special - gorgeous - Burgers Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

I was waiting at the nearby CarMax & needed lunch. The guy told me Rhea's was just a few blocks away so I walked down. It's in a small strip shop, pretty basic with tables & chairs & checkout stand & pickup counter. Service was friendly & fast. Like so often now, the default burger is a double. I got a single cheese w/ onion rings & unsweet tea. It came on nicely buttered & grilled Texas toast & was a good burger. I'll say getting the double probably improves the bread to beef ratio but the single was enough. Onion rings passable, but not extraordinary. Tea good with crushed ice so fine it's almost a slushy. My biggest concern after the fact is that I think I was charged for a double burger. Total was $14+ before tip. The double burger was supposed to be just $7.50 I think. I think side & drink were $3 each, so seems I was charged the double price for single but it didn't occur in time to ask. read more

We came to Rhea's for lunch on a Friday afternoon around 1:30pm. It wasn't busy which was great because we sat down right away and were helped right away! For those that care about the kind of ice a restaurant has, they had crushed ice which honestly made my day. We all ordered some variation of a cheese burger at the restaurant. I got the Jimmy's Special and we ordered large fries to share for 3 people. The large fries weren't that big which is my only complaint so would definitely get one more but the cheeseburger was delicious! The food came super quick and the employees were amazing. The Texas toast on the burger was great. Prices weren't bad, but the menu on here was different than the one in the restaurant so it was more expensive than we anticipated but otherwise totally worth it!! read more

Super fast and mighty tasty! The Rheas burger on Texas toast hit the spot! Fixings were fresh and the onion rings hot

Looks amazing, "hole in the wall" kind of place. Can get crowded but has plenty of seats and take-out. Got to try it out! (Psst.. GET A Specialty BURGER IF NOTHING ELSE!) read more

Rhea's is a north Atlanta staple but I still think it's underrated. Some would say it's the best burger in Atlanta. To that, I say: it's up there! Rhea's has a "homestyle" burger, meaning they use Texas toast instead of the traditional bun. The bread is thick cut and soaks up all the butter on the grill-top, so this means leak flavor. I got Jimmy Rhea's Special, the classic choice. It was a solid 9/10. It comes with ketchup, mustard, Mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion, with 2 patties. It was so moist. Not too messy. And so delicious. I did miss the pickles which I think would've kicked this up a notch but...I see what they're doing here. It's a really good burger all in all. The fries? 7/10. Average. Edible. Hot and ready. Good enough! The chili dog was a 6/10. I just got it on a whim. Basic, but the chili was not the best. Not a lot of a flavor in this one. Honestly, I could've done without it. PRO TIP: If you like ice...like Chick-fil-A style? This might be your new place. They have really great ice here! Lol. I took a picture for reference. I can say this is one of my favorite places to grab a burger in the Atlanta. You should definitely stop by if you're looking to try a top 5 burger in the city. read more

Literally found Rhea's after hungrily scouring the area for food when servicing my car in the area. Rhea's 2 is located in an inauspicious plaza and is definitely not a fancy shop. However, it's very simple and down to earth and I wish there were more places like this in Atlanta (and maybe there are, I just need some educating)! I ordered Jimmy Rhea's Special Cheeseburger, which is served on French bread versus a typical hamburger bun. Honestly, I preferred this, since the bread soaked up the meat juices so deliciously. Also, did I mention the price? $3.99 for the burger, $1.89 for fries. Honestly, the best steal I've found in a long time. I wish I lived closer - I would come here way more often! Because that burger meal is too good of a value to resist for long. read more

Don't wear gloves, service is mediocre. I took a few bites and noticed cook wasn't wearing gloves got up and left. Gross and unsanitary

I've been working in the area for 2 years and never knew about this gem. If your looking for a good burger at a clean hole in the wall stop by. I had the single cheeseburger and fries. Great lunch will be back! read more

Great burger! Nice people and fantastic food. The burger on Texas toast was awesome and the people friendly. Highly recommend!

Not sure why people have bad reviews cause this place was gas!! Get you in and out fast! Feels old school. I would highly suggest it. Juicy burger with a lot of flavor. read more

I called in for the "Philly Cheesesteak" and let's just say it was not what I was expecting. The sandwich was smaller than the size of my hand with barely any beef on it to which I also paid $15 for the thing while the menu said it was $7 and some change. It tasted good but overall would not recommend. read more

This is an incredible "hole in the wall" food joint! I can't recommend the Jimmy Rhea's special cheeseburger enough - by far one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. The staff is kind and the service is quick. Try it once and I promise you'll be a repeat customer! read more

My childhood memories include Rhea's. Had Rheas for the first time when I was in grade school. Fast tasty and made to order burgers and friends. It has that hole in the wall feel when you step inside one of the Rhea locations but that adds to the charm of a good burger joint. Quick turnaround and good pricepoint. There are reasons why hidden gems like this have been around for over 25 years. read more

The burgers are delicious and the staff is friendly and attentive. The Coleslaw was also delicious.

EXCELLENT Food! Was very happy with how delicious the Jimmy burger was. Highly recommend.

Great value, friendly service and staff! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quick bite in a family owned establishment.

Great Burger, patty melt, and fries. Very Good service, cook works non-stop. Not a fancy place by all means, but just the way Jimmy wanted it, and that's ok with me. Food is hot when served, and stays that way till i get back to office. Thanks Jimmy and Rhea!!! read more

I came here on a weeknight, sat at the bar, and was the only one for a little while. Literally the only one. There were no employees there either and the guy that did everything came about 5 minutes after I arrived from outside. He took my order, made it, and collected payment. the guy was also really nice. About 15 minutes later, another customer arrived, also a solo diner. Now onto the food. I got a Cheeseburger on french bread and fries. It tasted and looked a bit like a thick patty melt. The meat was good, but had that oily taste that you would expect from the flat grill that it was made on. I was able to observe the whole thing. The crinkle fries were just okay as well and I was not impressed. read more

Just an all around great griddle burger. My recommendation is to get it fully loaded with double meat. There is nothing artisan about it so I wouldn't go in with high expectations of chipotle sauce and regional peppers. If you like crinkle fries, you're in luck! Also they have more than burgers... but not much more. I think a Philly or hot dog are your other choices. read more

Humble but dynamite. I ordered the cheeseburger on French bread. The bread is grilled, like the burger. It comes with lettuce, tomoto, mayo, mustard and ketchup. The closest facsimile to the Rhea's burger is the burger on white bread served by Rotier's in Nashville...which is also a mind-bender, BTW. This is the type of burger I grew up on. Grilled patty...not a char-grilled demi-steak. So juicy, chewing is optional. (I'm not serious. That's exaggeration... in case anyone chokes and tries to sue me.) The ONLY reason I'm not issuing a 5-star review is that I ordered without fries, but got fries and was charged for them. They were very good..I ate them thinking they were comped. (And no, I don't believe in Leprechauns either.) read more
