Stockyard Burgers and Bones
26 Mill St, Marietta, GA 30060

The “Dirty South Burger” is a standout. Perfectly seasoned beef topped with mac and cheese, smoky BBQ sauce, and all the right textures makes this one unforgettable. For something bold and savory, the “Yard Burger” with bacon jam, blue cheese, and arugula hits all the right notes. And if you’re gluten-free, Stockyard goes the extra mile with a dedicated menu and strict attention to dietary needs.
Buzzin Burgers – Cheesesteaks | Wings
440 Ernest W Barrett Pkwy NW #16, Kennesaw, GA 30144
Buzzin Burgers keeps things casual and fun, making it easy to swing by for a quick bite. Their menu is big, covering everything from Philly cheesesteaks and quesadillas to wings and tenders, but the burgers hold their own.
While the patties are smash-style and on the smaller side, doubling or tripling up makes it satisfying for bigger appetites. The toppings feel thoughtful, too, with banana peppers adding a punch of flavor and soft buns that balance everything out. If you’re in the mood to branch out, the hot honey tenders and Brussels sprouts are also worth ordering. This is a newer spot in Kennesaw, but it already feels like a solid go-to for anyone craving comfort food done right.
