Brake Pad

"This tried-and-true College Park tavern shines with its heaping burgers and fries, wings, patty melts, and blackened tilapia. It also fosters a funky, devil-may-care attitude in its community of regular locals, which includes Woodward Academy teachers, millennials, Gen-Z wanderers, and longtime residents." - Beth McKibben, Eater Staff

"Massive retractable walls and plenty of huge windows make the Brake Pad Bar & Grill in East Point feel like is one giant patio. So even when we’re sitting inside (which isn’t very often), it feels like we’re getting fresh air. The staff is bringing “thank you for being a friend” level niceness, which makes us feel like we’re in no rush at all to eat our crispy wings, well-done burger, and other gastropub snacks out on the patio. Brake Pad’s easy breezy attitude has made it a favorite neighborhood hangout for years. " - jacinta howard

"Located in a former auto garage, Brake Pad has a long list of burgers, and the house special is dressed with cheddar, bacon, and jalapenos." - Eater Staff
