The Georgia Diner

I first learned about The Georgia Diner way back in 1999, when my beloved friend June (RIP) took me there. I had just moved to Atlanta and this was one of the first places I visited.

If I had a nickle for every late night cheeseburger that I have had there, I would be rich!! Below, is a picture of a chicken pot pie that I had one night, there. This restaurant has a very thick menu with everything from a hamburger to a steak, a giru to a southern meal, an omelette to a piece of cheese cake. It is a wonderful place and is a local landmark in the Duluth area.

And one slice of one of their cakes, will fill the whole plate!!

Over the years, I used this as a meeting place. I would meet my Spanish tutor there. I met a man there one time to tell me about a business opportunity. I met my friend Juli and her family there when they were passing through. I met my cousin Grant and his family there when they were on their way to Florida. I met my friend Marty there, TWICE when he was in town. I even went there one night, late in the midnight hours, to sit uninterrupted and to do my taxes!!

I continued to go there even after I retired. I had sent many of my guests there and often, they would bring me something back, like this Cheesecake that someone brought me.

And so, last night, I ordered a delicious cheeseburger and fries from there through Door Dash and while it was expensive, it hit the spot. I was away from home and hungry and so I thought of them. I've been told that we are having delicious meatloaf tonight so Door Dash will just have to do without me.

If you are a guest in my hotel, just pull out of the parking lot to the right. At the light, turn right onto Pleasant Hill Road and go through one light. The restaurant will be immediately on the right, between Whataburger and Popeye's Chicken. You can't miss it.

If you are not a guest in my hotel but you would like to experience this Duluth landmark, just put the following address into your GPS and you should arrive shortly:

1655 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth, Ga
