The Chick-fil-A Dwarf House

Em and Mr. Cathy

One more stop in Atlanta before we head to our next destination: the Chick-fil-A Dwarf House. If you are a Chick-fil-A lover, this is a must-do! It’s the original restaurant in a small diner-style building with a brick facade and a little red roof. You might overlook it at first. In the brick front, go through the little red door…or the regular door right next to it… As you enter, take a minute to learn about Chick-fil-A’s history, how S. Truett Cathy opened his restaurant on May 23, 1946, and there developed the recipe for his original chicken sandwich that we all know and love today.

The building has two parts. One side looks like a diner; the other looks like a regular Chick-fil-A. We sat at the high top bar on the diner side.

And here’s where the Dwarf House differs from any other Chick-fil-A: the menu has a much wider variety of food to order. Besides the traditional chicken sandwich, nuggets, and fries, you can order a steak, cheeseburger, BLT or the famous Hot Brown. (That’s a toasted chicken sandwich smothered in gravy and cheese.) For sides, choose from mac and cheese, collard greens, green beans, Cole slaw, cornbread, fried okra, and many other delicious menu items.

To top it all off, indulge in a tasty dessert, like a chocolate, lemon or coconut ice box cake, a fried apple, peach or sweet potato pie, a milkshake or, my personal favorite, a frosted lemonade. Next time you visit any Chick-fil-A, I suggest you try one!

If you are in the Atlanta area, take time to stop by the Dwarf House. It’s a great home-style version of Chick-fil-A with amazing comfort food. The people there are so friendly that you would think you’ve known them your whole life. For a really good experience and even better food, head down to the Chick-fil-A Dwarf House. You won’t regret it!
