Will be passing through tomorrow and don't want to take too much of a detour (10 to 15 minutes off the interstate is fine)

Thanks

I ate there from this boards recommendation and it was awful. We were the only ones there (very bad sign). Greasy burger joint. 4/10.

Folk Art near I85. Shrimp and Grits was so good I called the cook out of the kitchen and tipped him!

Mary Macs is iconic and the food is very forgettable.

I've never had a bad meal there. Maybe it's just you?

Wherever you go, don’t listen to this guy. Where exactly are you heading after passing through? Northeast up towards the Carolinas?

If so and if you want legit Mexican food, go to Taqueria La Carreta off the North Druid Hills exit.

Surprised you had a bad experience. Sometimes the service can be a little “cold” but I’ve never had issues with the burgers. They’re fantastic IMO. Also it’s usually very lively when I’ve been there—of course that’s usually on the weekend.

Sorry I didn't get to try any of these suggestions. My GPS bypassed all of them because of a slow down and I are at a Chinese place in what looked to be an Asian area of a neighboring town.
