Mary Mac's Tea Room
Best Southern Table in Atlanta · GA
Atlanta's dining room since 1945
Mary Mac's Tea Room opened in 1945 when Mary McKenzie turned her Southern cooking into a living in post-war Atlanta, and it's the last of the sixteen 'tea rooms' that once dotted the city. Diners still fill out their own order tickets for fried chicken, country-fried steak, tomato pie, and pot likker with cornbread.
Now billed as 'Atlanta's Dining Room,' Mary Mac's has fed presidents, celebrities, and generations of locals from scratch-made recipes, its warren of dining rooms and genuine hospitality unchanged by eighty years of a fast-changing city.
