Mother's Day isn't far away, and if your family wants to go out to celebrate in Georgia, Yelp has a guide for your next trip. The company has released this year's list of the Top 100 Family-Friendly Restaurants which included two in Georgia. Who made the cut? How did they do so? Which are the best of the best? Atlanta Breakfast Club and Mary Mac's Tea Room in Atlanta are the only two Georgia eateries to make the list. They ranked Nos. 44 and 75, respectively. The former is a modern diner with a retro vibe while the latter is a classic Southern restaurant with roots dating back to 1945. Here's what reviewers are saying about them: "Atlanta Breakfast Club will be a must-stop for me whenever I visit Atlanta! The atmosphere was relaxed, the servers were friendly, and the service was fast....I had the peach cobbler French toast and side of bacon. The French toast was amazing! The cobbler topping was crumbly and a little salty, which balanced out the sweetness of the peaches well." "Mary Mac's Tea Room was a pleasant surprise on a recent trip to Atlanta. The first thing you'll notice is the welcoming staff. They are really great at what they made my experience feel warm and memorable. The food was outstanding as well -- true Southern food. From fried green tomatoes and chicken fried chicken to peach cobbler, this is the spot!" Yelp said they identified businesses in the restaurants and food categories with a large concentration of reviews mentioning "family friendly," then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning "family friendly." When available, all businesses on this list have a passing health score as of Feb. 14. in Houston in Gilbert, AZ in Denver in Pigeon Forge, TN in Gulf Breeze, FL Miguel Legoas is a Deep South Connect Team Reporter for Gannett/USA Today.

Mary Mac's fully reopens almost a year after partial roof collapse
An iconic Atlanta restaurant has fully reopened nearly one year after its roof partially collapsed. Mary Mac's Tea Room on Ponce de Leon Ave reopened the Skyline Room and Ms. Ellen's Room this week. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Part of the restaurant's roof collapsed on March 6, 2024 during a period of heavy rain that moved through midtown Atlanta. Channel 2 Action News showed bricks, wood, insulation and glass scattered along the sidewalk outside the restaurant in the aftermath. Mary Mac's reopened two months later, but with limited space. Now, it's back to full capacity. 'The Skyline Room and Ms. Ellen's Room are essential parts of Mary Mac's, as much as our delicious menu of authentic meatloaf, fried chicken, seafood, and other Southern favorites,' says Chad Reynolds, Mary Mac's director of operations. 'Just about every day, someone asks us when we will be open and shares memories of special occasions spent here, whether it's wedding anniversaries, graduation dinners, or one of their favorite spots with out-of-town guests.' The restaurant will celebrate the reopening by giving diners a free piece of peach cobbler from Feb. 17 to Feb. 23. Mary Mac's Tea Room opened in 1945 and remains the quintessential eatery for Southern comfort food.
