Yellow Jacket Restaurant

Famous with the locals as a place for Sunday Brunch. Well known for it's fried chicken & chicken livers. I'm not a big buffet fan & was disapointed with this one. Some of the items were dry & overcooked, all of them were bland. I've eaten there a few times now & I think I've discovered the secret to the Yellow Jacket - go with friends you haven't seen in a while, on a day when you're not in a hurry. Skip the buffet & order the fried chicken off the menu. It'll take 20-30 minutes at least. Spend that time visiting w/ your friends & then enjoy their excellent fried chicken hot & cooked to order.

We rented a cabin not too far from this place and needed to order some take-out.  We found a menu for The Yellow Jacket in a drawer and called to order several different things on the menu.  Everything was pretty average to decent, but the Fried Chicken was out of this world, and I might even venture to call it legendary.  If there was a place in Atlanta that had chicken this good, I'd probably be sneaking over there at least once a day to eat it...and I'd probably be 300 pounds in no time flat.  The locals eat at the buffet here for the fried chicken on Saturday nights (a tip for you to act on, should you be in the area).  Oh, and save yourself the trouble and skip the hamburger steak.  It's just a hamburger without a bun and no toppings, served like a steak.  As you can imagine, it left a lot to the imagination and needed a bun, toppings and condiments to turn it into anything worth eating.  My 4-star review is just for the chicken.  Everything else would probably be a 3-star.
