This Epic 3-Day Restaurant Road Trip In Georgia Will Make Your Mouth Explode

There's nothing quite like a road trip in Georgia...open road cruising, wind whipping through your hair, with not a care in the world. You would think there's nothing better in life than a road trip until of course, we create a road trip that revolves around some of the greatest restaurants in Georgia. From the team that brought you The Ultimate Georgia Waterfalls Road Trip Is Here—And Anyone Can Do It, we invite you to take a gander at this epic three-day restaurant road trip throughout our favorite state. The whole trip takes around 12.5 hours without stopping, and clocks in at 678 miles. This is why we think breaking it up into three days would be a better way to enjoy the adventure, not to mention have time to digest all the delicious eats. Let's get this restaurant road trip in Georgia started! You can access the map in its entirety here.

Our culinary exploration begins in Atlanta, but really, you can hop in at any point on the map and start your trip with the restaurant closest to you.

1. The Varsity, Atlanta

Of course, we're starting off at one of the most popular restaurants in the state. The Varsity has been serving up fresh, throw-back fast food for decades now, and it's a must-visit. Make sure you save room for their mouth-watering peach pies, which are baked fresh daily from their old family recipe. For more information on the Varsity and to see their other locations, visit the website. Address: 61 N Ave NW Atlanta, GA 30308

2. Big Pie In the Sky Pizzeria, Kennesaw

It isn't an epic restaurant road trip without a stop to eat the LARGEST pizza around. Clocking in at 30 inches wide, the XL from Big Pie in the Sky is a humongous effort with supreme taste. If you order up this honker, make sure you save some room for what's still to come! For more information on the Big Pie in the Sky, visit the website. Address: 2090 Baker Road, Kennesaw, GA 30144

3. Guy's Biscuit Barn, Cumming

9. Vortex Bar & Grill, Atlanta

Ahh, alas our restaurant road trip in Georgia has come to an end. Of course, we had to go out with a bang, so we made Vortex Bar & Grill our final destination. This is THE spot in Georgia for burgers.

Weird....but delicious. For more information on The Vortex, visit the website. Address: 438 Moreland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307
