Tourists and locals alike flock to Mary Mac’s Tea Room. Take a seat in the cheerful, homey dining room and mark your menu choices on the slips of paper left on your table, then hand them to your server. The fried chicken is one of the most popular dishes, and the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese are two sides you should be sure to try, though to get the full Mary Mac’s experience, you should also try the pot likker – greens cooked up in ham broth. And because this is Georgia, be sure to ask for some peach cobbler for dessert (if peaches aren’t your thing, though, locals swear by the banana pudding). The white-tableclothed dining room is beginning to show its age a bit, and the cooking can be a little hit-and-miss, but Mary Mac’s Tea Room is an Atlanta institution that’s definitely worth a visit.

Great comfort food

Reviewed by retirees on April 30, 2006

retirees' rating:

"If you’re visiting the South, you have to have some Southern food. At Mary Mac’s, you’ll find an order sheet and some pencils on your table; you check off what you want, and your server disappears with your order. For the most part, we gave up on trying to follow our heart-healthy guidelines for the day. I ordered the fried chicken and Dale had country fried steak, which he said was almost as good as what his mother made when he was a kid. We did at least get some steamed veggies as a side (although the macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy probably negated any benefits we got from the veggies). Since we were in the peach state, we split a piece of peach cobbler for dessert, then we tried to walk off a little of our lunch on a two mile trek to the Jimmy Carter Library."
