    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.

    1. Jimmy Rheas Special Cheeseburger with fries and onion rings
    Richard N.

    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.

    First time trying and will be back! Cheeseburgers cooked quickly to order and delicious!

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

    Rhea's Special - gorgeous

    Great service and best burger in Atlanta. We need to do whatever we can to keep this place afloat. There used to be 4 locations and now there is just one.

    Single cheeseburger on Texas toast & onion rings.
    John K.

    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.

    The Jimmy Special burger with crinkle fries was so good, I forgot to take a picture before I ate it. Great price, nice staff. Would definitely recommend!

    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!!

    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.

It was freezing outside, so walking into a warm, cozy, and welcoming space was the perfect start to the evening. The bar area felt intimate and relaxed, ideal for a date night. The bartender was knowledgeable and thorough. He wasn't always right there, but it never felt like an issue -- everything flowed smoothly, and the food came out quickly. Overall, the food was very good. The steak was fairly average, but the red fish was absolutely outstanding. It had a subtle Louisiana touch that made the flavors explode in the best way.

The bang bang chicken should be drenched in the sauce to give it the kick it needed. Drizzled was lackluster. Lychee martini was good, had a big lychee fruit in it. Pear dream was almost tea-like but good. Wouldn't get again but did enjoy in the moment. Scofflaw cider was ehh. My fiancé didn't care for it, so it was a chug it and go kind of drink. Steak frites had a fine cook on the steak but more concerned with the flavor, which was lackluster. The fries were really crispy, but because of their size, they didn't have much substance. Not something he'd get again. Chilean sea bass blackened didn't have the kick of flavor I hoped for. The sauce was good if you like Asian-inspired dishes. The potatoes were fine. Needed more seasoning. Mac and cheese was cheesy but needed more of a flavor profile to wow me. Overall the sea bass was meaty and cooked well, but the sides were just okay. Didn't hate the meal but didn't stand out so won't be going back again. Food did come out quickly so the service was good. And the music was overall was good for the Valentine's Day weekend.

The level of service from him was impeccable, especially when I was pretty clear from the beginning that I was looking at quite a few different places. We ultimately chose somewhere else due to budget and we wanted a more "light and airy" vibe. I just wanted to drop a line here and say that this spot is really perfect for a smaller shower and for a pretty competitive price!

I am not sure if its a southern food thing ( I am from the other side of the U.S) but, seasoned rice has been salty to me all over GA. I would definitely recommend this place to someone though. They had my favorite beer on tap "left hand milk stout Nitro" good food and amazing service.

I'd come in for a drink after earlier day shifts, and grab a small bite on occasion. Back then, it wasn't ever busy but it has taken a positive turn for its reputation in the Avalon area. My husband and I ate here recently for brunch, I had no idea what to expect as I'd never had brunch here before. Sat immediately, and served promptly by the nice gentleman. We got to chatting and found he had just started, working mostly just for the holidays. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and they were incredible--even without the sausage! Not a big pork eater, here. The flavors were authentic Cajun, and do recommend it if you're ever here for Brunch. My other half ordered the breakfast burger--warning this thing is HUGE but according to him an incredible foodie adventure to conquer. Atmosphere is a bit dark and drab, but not a deterrence from coming back to try again. One last note to wrap it up, service needs to be sure to recognize Happy Holidays versus immediately resorting to Merry Christmas--very adamant from our server when I said Happy Holidays upon leaving. It's just a courtesy to those like myself who do not celebrate the mainstream holiday. So folks, if you're shopping at Avalon and want to get out of the cluster of the mall, drive across the main road and find plenty of parking to try out Firebirds!

If this is all you will enjoy here - this is a 5-star establishment. Location in Avalon is another strong point of this establishment. Super convenient, although small. Food - is just not good. If you are drunk - then it is all right, otherwise it just doesn't cut it. I had hot dog - and I must say $1.50 Costco hot dog is way better. Wings - below average. Chicken tenders - the same. Fries are probably the best thing here. Service - just terrible. Outside of bartenders who are pretty happy and funny, the rest of service is hit or miss. First time I visited was awful. Second time around I had to walk up to server to place an order and ended up getting wrong beer multiple times on refills (how is getting the same refill a problem?).
