Atlanta Travel Deals

This local legend is billed as the world's largest drive-in and has been a staple on the Atlanta dining scene since 1928. Countless burgers, fries, shakes and more than two miles of hot dogs are served here every day, along with more Coca-Cola than anywhere else in the world. Dine in your car, seat yourself in one of the many cafeteria-style rooms, or simply order your greasy lunch at the 150-foot (46-meter) long stainless-steel counter and go. The white-tiled diner theme is a welcome throwback to days when drive-ins ruled the fast food scene.

The largest drive-in, and if I'm not mistaken, maybe the first ever. This place has been frequented by Presidents on their visit to Atlanta and they even...

“Atlanta classic in Alpharetta”

 by  thesmarttraveler  on  2009-01-02

You go here for classic Varsity food--chili dogs, burgers, shakes, etc. It's nice to visit if you can't make it to the one in midtown. more
