    Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit  Hash, three eggs, biscuit and gravy
    Art H.

    Some of the best hash and biscuits you can get. It's been a while since I've had their burgers, but the last time I had them they were amazing. The place is cozy in the colder months and spreads outside when the weather is better. Order at the register and then find yourself a seat and your food will be out soon. Highly recommend.

    I heard that the Red Eyed Mule had amazing Biscuits and Gravy and everyone who said that didn't do them justice!! Absolutely mouth watering delicious and amazing! The biscuits were so fluffy and held their own against the gravy which was out of this world on its own. My mom got an omelette and loved every bite. My husband got the corn beef hash and apparently it was the best he had ever had, and that's really saying something! It's a tiny place but it is so charming and inviting. The staff is so polite and everything came out quickly. I honestly wish we lived closer because we would make this one of our go to places!

    Stopped by for breakfast. Waited in a short line. And sat at the bar until it was ready. Others ordered at and found a booth to sit. It wasn't the largest place so id go fairly early in order to find somewhere to sit. Biscuits were big. I'm not a fan of the egg. I prefer an actual scrambled egg. But this was a round egg. Fit the biscuit perfectly. I would be back and try something different

    This is a hidden gem for breakfast and brunch. If you like biscuits you gotta come here. I can't saw enough at the biscuits!! Every time I come I'm like I need one to go! They are so nice and fluffy and buttery.. and huge! In the flip side I'm a grits girl and based on everything I read about this places grits I had to give them a try. So I tried them twice and each time I was like no. These are not 3 cheese grits and they are missing something. Overall I would not recommend the grits but that's me. Everything else I've had has been on point. The service is good. You come in and order at the counter and they bring the food to you. This place gets packed but every time u have come I have been able to find sitting and parking. Overall a good place to check out!!

    Generous portions and delicious food. One of the best breakfast biscuits I've had. It gets really busy and has a cult following apparently. It's your typical diner layout and just feels like you are gonna get good food. Will definitely be back.

    Two egg, bacon, grits, and a biscuit.

    The breakfast is pretty consistent. The line can get long during breakfast. The restaurant is very cozy and quaint. You can call ahead and place your order to save time.

    We'd been here 2 years ago after the Cobb Co. gem & mineral show to mixed results - I recall a long wait for food & we had to sit outside on a chili day. Today (also after the gem show) was much better. Seated inside (it looks like an old Waffle House or Huddle House-type place but that suits its style), we got burgers, which seem larger than expected & come on Texas toast. They're reasonably priced but the sides are $4 for fries (large enough to share), $6 for onion rings (good). Plus, the server said the o-rings first brought out weren't enough, so they went back & cooked more & brought more out hot. Nice touch. Good tea & Coke fountain products. Other than bringing food out, there's not much service needed but they do clear the table for you.

    This place was a little different in that you have to order your food, then sit down and they bring it to you. I ordered the corned beef hash and my wife had the Mule Basket. I have to say, corned beef was handmade and the biscuits were amazing! It's definitely one of the best breakfast I've had in a while. My wife loved her meal as well, the sausage and gravy along with the Mule chips were great together. The grits were pretty good too. The size of the plates served are pretty good, definitely enough to fill you up with a little left over. The only thing I didn't like here is the coffee, it definitely needs some work. I'll be back for more of those biscuits!

    I have had this place on my "want to try" lists for some time. Mostly for it's burgers. I finally got the chance to go and wasn't disappointed. The location seems to be a retrofitted diner with some counter space and seats similar to Waffle House. In fact, I would bet it was an old Waffle House. They have several outside seatings as well, but I decided not to sit outside due to the heavy. My order consisted of Jakes Sloppy Slaw Burger which has what I guess is a Sloppy Joe type chili and coleslaw topping. I didn't pay attention, but i would have asked for cheese on this, which would have probably held onto the slaw or sloppy jimmy more. This sandwich was what Food Network rated as a top pic for Atlanta. With it, I got an order of Onion rings as well. The burger itself was nicely done at a Medium temp. It was juicy and had just the right amount of seasoning to it. It didn't have any smokey taste but the Sloppy Jimmy and Coleslaw added a bit of a sweetness to the bites. The burger is more close to a melt than anything as it's placed between two buttered texas toast slices. This actually made it easier to pick up, but the sloppy Jimmy and Cole Slaw still wanted to escape a little. Please eat in the safety of your home or table. :D The onion rings were very tasty as well, but maybe a little too salty. The salt was in the batter from what I could tell as I didn't see any salt thrown over it and it was more saturating into the rings than anything. I was never offered any sauce, but had they had a fry sauce of some kind, I think it could have further enhanced the flavor or experience overall of the onion rings. I think I would still prefer these over the fries though. Decorations in the location are all Western Farm like. With the name Red Eyed Mule, I imagine I'm eating at a diner in the middle of Texas maybe, or Oklahoma. Somewhere desolate and boring, but this place brings joy, because you got a good burger in your hands. I would recommend eating here at least once, It's not my favorite, but it's a decent burger overall.

    One of the best biscuits I've had in years! I ordered the fried chicken plate (chicken, eggs, cheese grits, and a biscuit. I took one bite of the chicken before I had it into a chicken biscuit. It was amazing! Sides were good, but that biscuit was the main event.

    This restaurant is owned by Ted turner.This food is good for breakfast and lunch.So if you like really good food go to Red eye mule.

    Garden omelette, biscuit & grits
    Najah H.

    It's a greasy spoon type of joint but never misses. The Food Network recognition is worth it. The burgers and cheese grits alone is worth the trip. It's a diner with the open kitchen, a counter, indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of nostalgic artifacts all around is how I'd explain the aesthetic. For our Sunday breakfast we ventured here because I've been meaning to take my bf. I'd gone before and was amazed by the corned beef hash and biscuits! This wasn't out the can but fresh corned beef. Highly recommend! Today we ordered the hamburger breakfast plate and the garden omelette. Drinks are self-serve for sodas, coffee and water. Seat yourself as well after you pay at the counter. The food comes up fast and served hot. The burger was seasoned just right and the grits are amazing. Egg meals have a surcharge due to the recent spike in the cost but worth it. The garden omelet was topped with avocado and packed with onions, bell peppers, spinach and mushrooms - just how I like it. Coffee was hot and tastes great. There's more on the menu I want to try so we'll be back!

    I was really craving a really good hamburger and decided to come to the red eyed mule. FYI, the Resturant is going to be packed! So be patient. They're a lot of locals and regulars that come here. we were able to get a seat fairly quickly! we both ordered hamburgers with lettuce, tomato cheese, onions, fries, and a drink. The hamburgers are really good. The only thing I wish is that we had a choice between Texas toast and a regular sesame seed bun. That is my only grip. I prefer buns over Texas toast. Other than that, this is a really great burger joint. The the vibe of the restaurant is like a diner. There's not a lot of seating, but I feel like you'll get a seat very quickly.

When they came out, it was a huge portion and enough for both my wife and I. The only drawback is that they didn't have any sour cream that we could add to the nachos... It may seem trivial, but I've never needed anyplace that didn't have sour cream for the nachos. Because of that, I will give this a 4.75 stars. We will definitely be back!

As a dog owner myself that is something I'd like to know but I understand the hesitation when you're sitting and eating next to a dog. However, doesn't take away from the cleanliness or the service of the restaurant. We ordered the Mezze trio as an appetizer. Everyone loved the hummus however my favorite was the red beet root. I also loved that they can refill the pita bread which went by quickly. Most of the table ordered the lamb skewers which I thought was a good. I'd give it an 8/10. I thought the flavors paired nicely and it was a different taste than the skewers I've ordered before. My brother ordered the salmon and he really enjoyed that. The service was nice however it did take at least 45 minutes for us to get our food which was a bummer. Definitely could see this being a nice, chill lunch or dinner spot.

The sides wete quite good, the best part of our meals. The salad was okay though the dressing was on the more bland side and fresh ground pepper helped its flavor profile quite a bit. For a restaurant calling itself a "chophouse" and supposedly upscale, you would think they would know how to cook a steak or use a better quality steak. Our filets were cooked to proper temperature but lacked any taste of salt or seasoning and lacked any searing on the outside. The meat was chewy rather than tender and made us wonder "what's so special about this place" where parking availability is also a challenge!? So you would think dessert would be hard to mess up, but our cheesecake was nothing special at all. We've had better tasting Sara Lee cheesecake from the supermarket; definitely below expectation. We'll consider giving it another try, but at their prices there are so many other tried and true steakhouse we much prefer.
