Truett's Grill \ Chick-fil-a

This past Saturday I experienced one of the best treats I have had in a long time. While in Atlanta, driving on I-75, a friend and I discovered Truett's Grill. For those of you less infatuated than I am, S. Truett Cathy is the founder of Chick-fil-a. After seeing the sign on the highway, we immediately went to the internet to find the story behind this restaurant. (See back-story here) Not everyone was excited about the possibility of eating at a glorified Chick-fil-a (I won't mention any names). But, to be perfectly honest, David and I weren't asking for any opinions on where to eat dinner. We had already decided.

We arrived, and to our surprise, it looked to be a diner style sit-down restaurant. It was decorated with many items S. Truett Cathy had owned and enjoyed (car, motorcycle, bike, train, etc). As we were seated, I looked the menu over carefully. In addition to the standard Chick-fil-a menu (I made sure everything was there), they also offered hamburgers, chicken fried steak with gravy, field peas, salads, and many other delicious southern-style meals.

I ordered the Hot Brown. This was chunks of chicken served in a thick white-sauce with melted cheese, bacon, and toast. All I can really say is WOW. It was really something. I also had a side of field peas that didn't disappoint.

While we were talking to the waitress about the place, we told her this was our first visit and how excited we were to learn about it. She quickly delivered deserts for everyone at the table, free of charge! All the way around, this was one of the most exciting dining experiences I've had. I am glad to have this opportunity. There are only 2 or 3 of these Truett's Grills, all in the Atlanta area. If ever there or driving through, you must stop and see for yourself.
