Now this is a hometown favorite. We have been here a few times but I've never given them a review. So, here we go. We decided to stop in on our way out of Calhoun, Ga. My wife got herself some chili cheese fries. She said the fries were great, could have used some extra cheese but the trade off that made it worthwhile was that the chili had real ground beef in it. So overall, she was very pleased with those fries. The service was excellent. The ladies made us laugh before taking our order which is nice. My opinion is, when you can make your customers feel at ease, it makes for a pleasant experience. This is definitely the place to stop for burgers and fries. Btw, no I never ordered anything that day because I wasn't hungry. But past ordering experiences, I'd most definitely come back. It's much like the 50's style burger joints. All they need now are car hops.

I stopped here for lunch on the way to Chattanooga. I always like mom n pop places and Yellow Jacket did not disappoint! The servers are kind, attentive, and friendly, and knew all of the locals who came in by name! The restaurant was clean. I ordered a double cheeseburger with fries and a sweet tea, and it was by far one of the best burgers I have ever had. It was a good sized meal, too — not like a fast food burger — I was truly stuffed! Wish I’d had room for dessert! I am planning to come back soon and will try one of their hot dogs next time. It is well worth the drive from West Cobb!!

Yellow Jacket Drive-In Restaurant is absolutely fantastic! My go-to dish is the Philly Cheese Steak with onion rings, but honestly, everything on the menu is good. They offer an exceptional breakfast too - bacon, grits, and eggs - all at very reasonable prices. Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly! This place is a must-visit!

Just like an old time hamburger joint. Burgers are AMAZING! I got the double bacon cheeseburger and it was almost more than I could take a bite of! Huge portions and the fries were perfectly crisp. Sweet tea tastes like home.
