Mary Mac's Tea Room has operated on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Midtown since 1945, and it's the last of the sixteen tea rooms that once operated across intown Atlanta in the 1940s. The restaurant carries the nickname "Atlanta's Dining Room," a nod to how long it's fed the city.
The menu runs through classic Southern specialties made from scratch: fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, black-eyed peas, whipped potatoes, Brunswick stew, and cinnamon rolls, with peach cobbler for dessert. First-time visitors are offered a complimentary cup of pot likker with cornbread, a house tradition tied to the restaurant's history.
The building holds six separate dining rooms, giving Mary Mac's room to host groups from 20 to 200 for breakfast, lunch, or dinner alongside its regular service. The restaurant also ships its dishes nationwide through a Goldbelly partnership for anyone who can't make it to Atlanta in person.
