We all know that southern food is the number one comfort food, but where do us Atlantans take our out-of-town friends for some real comfort? Mary Mac's Tea Room, that's where. 

Established in 1945, Mary Mac's is a dining room that has stayed true to southern cuisine through decades of culinary changes. For anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to have real southern food from the kitchen of someone's grandma off a dirt road in south Georgia, there is still hope. Mary Mac's serves up all of the best and most coveted southern dishes. From fried chicken to Pot Likker, the menu doesn't leave the diner wanting.

The menu echos the flavors of the deep south, from Georgia to Louisiana and everywhere in between. For first time visitors, mention to your server that it's your first time and you will receive the Pot Likker, on the house.

For those who don't know about Pot Likker, it is the juice from the greens and is served with "craklin bread." The broth is rich in flavor and perfect for dipping the bread in. It's the true southern take on a bread loaf and olive oil.

This establishment has brought in celebrities for years, including former First Lady Hillary Clinton and plenty of Georgia icons. So, be sure to bring your out-of-town guests to Mary Mac's, they may never get a chance like that again.
