"This isn’t a red carpet dining experience. But when we’re looking for a good burger and brew and a place to stretch our legs after being crammed in a row of tiny seats for a few hours, we hit this laid-back brewery. Most pub food is simply an understudy for the beer, but Torched Hop’s food deserves its own place on the marquee. For the opening act, their spicy lemon pepper wet wings provide serious peppery heat that puts a fun twist on Atlanta's perennial fave wing flavor. After a quick intermission to squeeze in a game of bocce, get the juicy double smash burger that has american and white cheddar cheese, pickles, and mayo. Wash it all down with a citrus-y Hops de Leon IPA as the sounds of giant Jenga tumbling to the ground greets your ears." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
