DID YOU KNOW?

Truett’s Grill isn’t simply another Chick-fil-A. The concept was created to celebrate the life and legacy of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, with a 1950s-style diner atmosphere inspired by the early days of his restaurant career.

Cathy opened his first restaurant, the Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville, Georgia, in 1946, years before the first Chick-fil-A opened. Truett’s Grill carries pieces of that history forward through its décor, memorabilia, and nostalgic atmosphere.

Give yourself a few extra minutes to look around instead of treating this as a typical fast-food stop. The vintage cars, photographs, memorabilia, and retro details are part of the experience, making Truett’s Grill an especially fun stop for road-trippers interested in Georgia food history.
