Yonah Burger — Restaurant in Georgia

I've been going to yonah Burger from quite some time... anytime I'm out riding through the mountains on my motorcycle and I'm nearby, it's a go to spot. Today was my first visit since they reopened and I was very excited ... And very hungry. I ordered my usual... Bacon double cheeseburger with fries and my girlfriend ordered a single with fries. I was surprised to see the food come out in about 3 or 4 minutes, which immediately raised a red flag. Sure enough, the fries were cold and old (can't really hide an old fry) and the burger patties were barely warmed through and pretty dry. These were obviously sandbagged patties from the lunch rush that were reheated and served to the 3:00 crowd.... and trust me, I've been in the restaurant business.... it's a thing. Burger patties don't cook in under 3 minutes. Anyone remember the grit testimony in My Cousin Vinny? These aren't magical patties. Come on Yonah Burger.... you guys can do better than that. Anyway, I'll be back, but I'm going to make it clear that if I don't have a hot freshly cooked patty with the juice running down my arm and if the fries don't burn my mouth when I try to eat them, I'm going to take it back to the counter and I'm going to ask for my $26 back. I don't mind paying for a good burger, but don't rip me off...

This restaurant was operated for 17 years by one lady! From 2006-2020. She had a great relationship with the owner and agreed on her building out the building at her express. In return the rent would not increase to compensate for the monies spent on said building. This is we’re GREED comes into play. Once the brewery opened up and the strip next door starting budding with better businesses in this great enconomy (thanks to Trump!) the building owner, at that time decided it was time to forget our agreement and inform me that my rent was to increase by 40%!!!! When I tried to explain to him that wasn’t our agreement he claimed he doesn’t remember! Convenient to say the least!! (I have text to back it up!) I told him I wasn’t paying rent on a building I built!! That didn’t seem to matter to him! I suppose when you exchange your integrity for greed everybody looses!! I was sent a final notice in March of 2020 after 17 years of never being a day late or a dollar short that if I didn’t pay their demanded increase in rent that they would lock me out of the building! Keeping in mind Covid had just shut down the dining areas of most restaurants and was doing about a third of my normal business!! What could anyone have done other than succumb the their demand...

Parking: I'm not even sure if there's an actual parking lot or an unmarked area that happens to be in front of their building. Ordering: two giant monitors with a very basic selection which is fine but of the sides listed, there is a hand written sign taped to the register stating half of them are no longer served. Food: The turkey burger tasted like a frozen grocery store patty that was microwaved because the center still had frozen crystals and it was rubbery. My burger was just ok: too much bun and no tomato (I love a cold tomato on a hot burger...I asked for "all the way" minus onion) so I thought well maybe they were out but the guy at a table next to us had a tomato. Only two kinds of cheese to pick from: American and Swiss so I skipped that totally. I asked for unsweet tea got sweet tea...not a big deal but good thing I'm not diabetic.

Side note, the other table next to us didn't even get their order (I think they were on a lunch break) and they were sitting/waiting before we got there. Our order and the guy that got a tomato both came out first because the cashier girl didn't put their slip in to the kitchen.

Skip this place unless you've got lots of time and can find a place to put your car or just skip it all together because the food is...
