The rambling building is a series of dining rooms all connected. The hallways connecting have signed photos of Presidents, Politicians and music personalities. The wait staff are professional and courteous.... More

Every time I make a trip to Atlanta this is a "new" must stop place for me. The moment you walk in the door you feel like you have entered the world of the South. This was my second time eating at this place and it was as good, if not better, than the first! My favorite food is Fried... More

We needed a place close to G Tech to eat, and I did a quick search and found Mary Mac's Tea House. First of all let me talk about "the looks". Not impressive.
