Their new freshly built out stand alone location in Decatur looks impressive with the second floor bar and deck over looking Chick-fila and the high school... The view may sound like a joke but they will prolly kill it here. Their Piedmont location started out pretty good but the quality kinda went down over time and the tiny Sweet Auburn Market location is such a pain in the ass to get to and parking is a nightmare... Maybe opening a third intown location will invigorate their energy and passion for this all American staple again. I like this location a lot, not just because it's new and shiny but also in a great walkable area in Decatur. They need to do a bike night here, they have the space and would totally kill it... Victory sure is raking in the biz on their Twos-day bike nights. We all know how the food tastes here but we will confirm it again just for shits and giggles... Plus, the pouch is hungry.
Euro-Style Double Burger. The shrooms and swiss cheez are great on a burger but never let them put on the mayo and mustard because no matter how little you tell them to put on, they usually just drown the fucking burger in it and make it all soggy. The burger is good, a single is usually more than enough but I haven't had a double in awhile and needed my monthly intake of fat and grease. There's no temp request on the burger but they're usually pretty good about not over cooking it to death.
Fried Green Tomatoes. I never had the FGT here before, so, might as well try it. They're not bad except that it was slathered in chipotle ranch. Anything that has sauce here, you should get it on the side. The sauce made the otherwise crispy batter crust mushy and really, who needs that much sauce on this.
Fried Pickles. Served with the same chipotle ranch sauce, at least this was on the side. Without the sauce on the fried pickles made it so much more appealing and tasted much better with a crispy crunchy crust and a briny finish. A little dip into the sauce is really all you need. These were pretty good overall. I would get them again.
There's no doubt in my mind this place will kick ass here in Decatur, it's about time they opened one in a high foot traffic area. I think it's funny that they opened right next door to a Chick-fila... Those cow billboards should be coming up soon.
