    I've lived in Georgia since 1999 and went to Roswell High, so I've known Rhea's since the early days. The original Rhea's near downtown Roswell was the burger spot back in the day, then the second location opened near the high school, and now Rhea's II off Highway 9 is the one that's stood the test of time. The other two may be gone, but this one's still going strong -- and I'm so glad it is. My buddy @Motovlogic told me they've got the best BLT, and honestly, I wasn't expecting to be blown away by something so simple. But wow... this BLT is perfection. The brioche bread is perfectly toasted with butter, giving it just the right crisp without being hard. The bacon is flavorful and perfectly cooked, the lettuce set up is perfect and not watery, the tomatoes are just the right thickness, and the mayo ties it all together beautifully. It's simple, but the balance and flavor are unmatched. They also make excellent burgers, patty melts, and fries... exactly what you want from a classic local diner. Pair any of it with an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero and you've got yourself the perfect meal. The staff is always friendly and consistent, and that consistency is part of what's made them a Roswell staple all these years. If you're anywhere near Roswell or Alpharetta, do yourself a favor and stop by Rhea's II and help support our local businesses!! You won't regret it. #RoliEats #Goodeats #RheasII #RoswellGA #BLT #RoswellEats #FoodieReview #SupportLocal #CocaCola

    You can find this Rhea's location at 11490 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 600 Roswell, GA 30076 - this is a rather nondescript row of businesses that feature I think two restaurants, with Rhea's 2 towards the center. It's rather hard to see as the signage is basically nonexistent. There's parking out front, seems to be plenty with many people coming in and out, including lots of take out. This is one of those classic hole-in-the-wall burger joints - fairly no-nonsense with various burger and chicken combinations (double meat, texas toast or bun, etc) with fries or rings as options. You get a waft of cooked ground beef as you near the front door. The interior is sparse and utilitarian, but it fits in well with the burger joint theme. You're basically sitting in the same room as the small kitchen (mostly a griddle under an exhaust hood). If you're eating in, the same person greeting you will also take your order and later your payment - it's a simple business for a throwback to simpler times. On to the lunch - we each ordered the double meat option, mine on a bun and my friend's on Texas toast. I also optioned for the large fries while he got the small. The burger was closer to a smash burger but some crust but not the degree of, say MF Burger. Still very good and very satisfying. In all a pretty decent burger for a reasonable price, and close to the Mall to boot. I believe the original Rhea's was on Canton street - it's now a minute-mart type place directly across from Canton Street Stout Brothers. As it was then, service is still good but you need to be patient as there are only two people working in the restaurant.

    1. Jimmy Rheas Special Cheeseburger with fries and onion rings
    Richard N.

    My better half and I were in Roswell and wanted to grab a quick lunch on Saturday afternoon. We tried grabbing lunch at a deli where we had dined previously but it is closed on Saturday and Sunday. I checked Yelp and saw several positive reviews for Rhea's 2. We had trouble locating it because it is located in a non-descriptive strip shopping center with poor signage. It is located next to a Harley Davidson dealership and we finally pulled into the strip shopping center lot and parked in front of the restaurant. We entered and found a plain Jane, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The owner greeted us and asked if we had ever dined at Rhea's 2. We told her it was our first visit. She recommended their #1 which is Jimmy Rhea's Special Cheeseburger. We decided when in Rome and the owner recommends a menu item that we should give it a try. We ordered the double patty and bacon on our cheeseburger. It comes dressed with tomato and shredded lettuce and is served on Texas toast. We both loved the cheeseburger. We also ordered a small side of onion rings and fries. My better half loved her cheeseburger and thought the onion rings were awesome. It was late afternoon and the owner was busy cleaning table tops and it was evident she takes pride in maintaining a clean dining area. The owner is also the server and cashier. There appeared to be only one other employee, the cook who was standing out front when we entered the restaurant. Our burger was enjoyable and the prices are great for the burger and a side. Check them out if you work in the area or find yourself on Alpharetta Highway near the hospital.

    First time trying and will be back! Cheeseburgers cooked quickly to order and delicious!

    It's my favorite burger. Clean plate club everytime! They are super nice and always recognize regular customers!

    Great service and best burger in Atlanta. We need to do whatever we can to keep this place afloat. There used to be 4 locations and now there is just one.

    Single cheeseburger on Texas toast & onion rings.

    I was waiting at the nearby CarMax & needed lunch. The guy told me Rhea's was just a few blocks away so I walked down. It's in a small strip shop, pretty basic with tables & chairs & checkout stand & pickup counter. Service was friendly & fast. Like so often now, the default burger is a double. I got a single cheese w/ onion rings & unsweet tea. It came on nicely buttered & grilled Texas toast & was a good burger. I'll say getting the double probably improves the bread to beef ratio but the single was enough. Onion rings passable, but not extraordinary. Tea good with crushed ice so fine it's almost a slushy. My biggest concern after the fact is that I think I was charged for a double burger. Total was $14+ before tip. The double burger was supposed to be just $7.50 I think. I think side & drink were $3 each, so seems I was charged the double price for single but it didn't occur in time to ask.

    The Jimmy Special burger with crinkle fries was so good, I forgot to take a picture before I ate it. Great price, nice staff. Would definitely recommend!

    We came to Rhea's for lunch on a Friday afternoon around 1:30pm. It wasn't busy which was great because we sat down right away and were helped right away! For those that care about the kind of ice a restaurant has, they had crushed ice which honestly made my day. We all ordered some variation of a cheese burger at the restaurant. I got the Jimmy's Special and we ordered large fries to share for 3 people. The large fries weren't that big which is my only complaint so would definitely get one more but the cheeseburger was delicious! The food came super quick and the employees were amazing. The Texas toast on the burger was great. Prices weren't bad, but the menu on here was different than the one in the restaurant so it was more expensive than we anticipated but otherwise totally worth it!!

    ICE

    Rhea's is a north Atlanta staple but I still think it's underrated. Some would say it's the best burger in Atlanta. To that, I say: it's up there! Rhea's has a "homestyle" burger, meaning they use Texas toast instead of the traditional bun. The bread is thick cut and soaks up all the butter on the grill-top, so this means leak flavor. I got Jimmy Rhea's Special, the classic choice. It was a solid 9/10. It comes with ketchup, mustard, Mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion, with 2 patties. It was so moist. Not too messy. And so delicious. I did miss the pickles which I think would've kicked this up a notch but...I see what they're doing here. It's a really good burger all in all. The fries? 7/10. Average. Edible. Hot and ready. Good enough! The chili dog was a 6/10. I just got it on a whim. Basic, but the chili was not the best. Not a lot of a flavor in this one. Honestly, I could've done without it. PRO TIP: If you like ice...like Chick-fil-A style? This might be your new place. They have really great ice here! Lol. I took a picture for reference. I can say this is one of my favorite places to grab a burger in the Atlanta. You should definitely stop by if you're looking to try a top 5 burger in the city.

We were told that they wouldn't seat us until 7pm and that it may be 5 or 10 minutes after that. A little irritating, but not a deal breaker. 7pm comes, 7:05. 7:10. We ask how much longer. We are told they are waiting on tables. Um, ok? 7:15, 7:20, 7:25....finally a table. Why even make a reservation if we aren't seated until 25 minutes after? They take us to our table, a party of 2 mind you, and sit us at a cafeteria style table for 6. There were PLENTY of 2 tops around. People who came in after us were seated at them with no problem. Again, weird, not a deal breaker but getting more irritating. Our waitress came over quickly and was amazing the entire night. Attentive and prompt. She took our drink and app orders. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. It is marketed as upscale. Why did she bring us drinks in plastic cups and say they were out of glasses? Excuse me? I am paying over $200 for my meal to drink out of plastic cups? We get our appetizer and it is delicious. Cajun Crab dip. There is a lot of dip and only a small bread loaf, so we ordered an additional loaf after we ate that one. Our waitress put the order in promptly, but the kitchen never sent it out and she had to go find it. By that time, our app was cold. We still ate it, just another disappointment. Our entrees came out promptly, both of us having ordered the Delmonico ribeye, medium. I added a lobster tail. We both had mac and cheese. I had greens, my husband Brussel sprouts. Neither of our steaks were cooked medium. Both were medium well and tough. $52 steaks, fyi. We had already been there an hour and with all of the other incidents, I was just ready to go. Sides were good, lobster tail was cooked perfectly. To sum it up, long wait even with a reservation, weird seating, plastic cups, forgetful kitchen and over cooked steak. Not quite the upscale dining we are used to with a $225 bill. Great server, great apps, good sides. Overall a disappointing anniversary dinner and would not go back.

The space itself is a great size with plenty of seating both inside and out. The covered patio is key - you get the outdoor energy without the sun beaming down on you the entire meal. I went with the lamb chops served over garlic mashed potatoes, paired with the crispy sweet chili brussel sprouts and creamy mac and cheese. Every single thing hit. The lamb was tender, well-seasoned, and sat on top of some of the smoothest, most flavorful mashed potatoes I've had in a minute. The brussel sprouts actually stayed crispy, and the mac and cheese was rich and creamy. On top of that, the portions are serious - you're definitely getting your money's worth. For dessert, I tried the red velvet cheesecake. It turned out to be an actual slice of cheesecake sandwiched directly between two slices of red velvet cake. A little wild, but ridiculous in the best way possible. Great vibes, top-tier food, and generous portions. Just make sure you don't have major plans afterward, because a food coma is guaranteed.

There were so many good options on the menu including a steak skillet, but had typos as they used ChatGPT to make it...lol. Can't trust AI y'all! They also do not allow modifications. I ended up getting the Chef's Southern Catch, which was the fish sandwich. The food came out in about 15 minutes. The Creole remoulade was amazing and I actually never asked what kind of fish it was, but it was light and flaky, maybe a cod. The brioche roll was soft and the fries were amazing as well. I do not typically like slaw, but it came on the sandwich and wasn't bad. We got refills on our drinks, to-go cups, and were on our way.
