This Is The Best Regional Fast Food Chain In Georgia

There are staple fast-food joints that everyone knows, and then there are restaurants where Georgia does it best.

That’s why Mashed— which describes itself as “the ultimate destination for all things food” — highlighted the best regional fast food chains. The “foodie news” source explained that some are also dubbed quick-service restaurants (QSR), bringing together a “new-ish hybrid of fast food and casual-dining restaurants.”

Mashed reads, of the restaurants that have become local delicacies within state lines:

“…they're known for their specialties in their region. The regional fast food chains we explore here have personality, quirks, and often, delicious food you can't get anywhere else in the U.S. If you're planning a road trip or visiting family or friends, check out our list of the best regional fast food chains in every state.”

So, which one do you need to try in Georgia?

Waffle House.

Here’s what Mashed says about it:

“Atlanta-based Waffle House has so proliferated since the first one opened in 1955 that HuffPost put together a map showing the chain's density throughout the South and Southeast. 

“Its huge menu runs the gamut of stick-to-your-ribs cooking from all-day breakfast to later-in-the-day classic dinners, like pork chops, country ham, and T-bones. Waffle House may have its detractors, but consider the fact that the late, great Anthony Bourdain loved it as a safe place for "the hungry, the lost, the seriously hammered all across the South."
