July Restaurant Highlights: Day 10 at Hopdoddy Burger Bar
This month, I’m exploring some of the best eateries in Atlanta, and today’s feature is Hopdoddy Burger Bar. It was my first visit, and I have to say, their burgers are a must-try. The patties were juicy and flavorful, paired with a mountain of crispy fries that definitely hit the spot.
A heads-up: everything is à la carte, so you’ll need to order sides separately. The interior is inviting and spotless, with great customer service to match.
If you haven’t been to Hopdoddy yet, I highly recommend stopping by. It’s the perfect place to grab a burger, sit at the bar, and catch the game.
Recently, I had the chance to visit the Center for Puppetry Arts with my family, and it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Watching Big Bird and Fraggle Rock as a kid, I felt those same childhood joys resurfacing.
The museum was a delightful experience, filled with fascinating history. We even did a scavenger hunt to keep things lively, and it was a blast! I’m glad we could tick off another amazing spot in Atlanta.
