    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!

    Rhea's Special - gorgeous

    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.
    John K.

    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.

    Wow, what an awesome burger and the best crinkle fries I have had in a very long time. Will definitely be back when i am in the area.

The interior has a great view that almost feels like you're overlooking the woods. Ordering is simple. You order, pay, grab a seat, and they bring the food out. We stick to what we know and always get The Moxie and The Bleu Ribbon, plus a side of sweet potato fries. As usual, everything was delicious, though the buns were a little less fresh than they normally are. The pimento on The Moxie is excellent, and the sweet potato fries are literally some of the best anywhere, especially with the chipotle mayo. Service is friendly and efficient. The lemonade is fine, nothing special, but that's not really why I come here. Moxie is consistent, reliable, and one of those places that rarely disappoints.

This time on a lettuce bed either some fries to share with the table. The location is very cute. There's a little more indoor seating than the Paper Mill location too. The inside has a nice line of windows too (it was cold outside when we went, so I didn't check out the patio). When we arrived, it was on the early side for dinner (5pm-ish). We had our pick of tables in the restaurant. When we left, it was hopping busy. Final take - on a nice day - I like the paper mill location. It' has a smaller footprint and plenty of parking. If I'm crazing their burgers on a blustery day - I'd probably come back to the Roswell one.

The owner was there, welcomed me and gave me stellar service! The menu was easy to read and even had a middle board that highlight favorite go tos I ordered the bacon cheeseburger basket which came with fries and a drink and the 3 birrira tacos for myself. Everything was cooked fresh to order. The ambience was pretty swell. I can see this place getting lively in the evenings and weekends. My only complaint was that I didn't find out about it sooner! Will come back if in the area.

I believe. Every time I've been I actually haven't been up to the bar area but you can see the steps so you know they're there. It's free parking because it's in Sandy springs so don't have to worry about trying to pay so that's good! I tried a couple of things but my most recent trip I went for the burger. You order at the counter and you can order anything there out of the all the restaurants they have. So you can order from any of five different spots and one register but I came specifically for Burger time. Birria burger - Now this burger was pretty good. It wasn't amazing but it was good. It needed an extra something. Typically. If you have this type of Taco you'll have something that you can dip the taco in, but the burger just came a little bit more dry and I feel like they could have had something extra to help it along. Queso fries - the fries were good. I feel like they kind of skimped a little bit on the queso, but other than that though they came out very crispy and the queso that was there was pretty flavorful. Onion rings - At this point I was just being a glutton LOL. Bunion rings were good and they had come back sauce and another sauce with them. I feel like they were kind of fried a little too hard though. But anybody could have an off day, not a big deal. You just don't want to cut your gums up like Captain crunch while you're trying to chew an onion ring LOL! Eventually I'll try the other couple of things. Like I haven't had the taco spot there yet, but it's on my list of things to do. It's a good duck off if you're in the area because there's a shopping area right across the street, so if you're in that Hood, I would definitely suggest giving it a checkout.
