Diner specializing in fluffy biscuits, burgers, and breakfast
"Old-School Burgers in Old-School Marietta You'll constantly find this small Marietta restaurant packed with customers for their biscuits and burgers. Local Food Network star Alton Brown named Red Eyed Mule's burgers on the show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." It's also a favorite of the members of the nearby Air Force base. This hometown favorite opened in 2010 and was instantly beloved. If you're there for breakfast, grab a biscuit before heading to work. It may be hard to find a seat for lunch, but order at the counter before sitting down. Their burgers are handmade fresh ground beef between pieces of Texas toast with your choice of toppings."
"After relocating to South Marietta Parkway in 2019, the Red Eyed Mule and its biscuits are back online. Order a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit or a sausage and gravy biscuit. Waits can be long on the weekends. Open 7 a.m. on weekdays." - Eater Staff

"The restaurant known for serving Alton Brown’s favorite burger — Jake’s Sloppy Slaw burger — and its biscuits is back open." - Beth McKibben
"Back in business at its new South Marietta Parkway location, I'm reporting that The Red Eyed Mule has reopened in a former Huddle House three miles from its original Church Street Extension site. Known for its biscuits and burgers—one of which is Food Network star Alton Brown’s favorite—the restaurant now seats over 60 people, doubling its previous capacity. The space received a good cleaning, a fresh coat of paint inside and out, and updates to the chairs and bar stools; decor from the former location fills the walls and a covered walkway outside should help with the weekend lines that typically form. Owners Sabra Wessel and Joseph Wood closed the nearly decade-old original after their landlord did not renew the lease and, after posting the relocation dilemma to Facebook, enlisted suggestions from regulars that led them to the former Huddle House. Hours are Monday–Friday 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; theredeyedmule.com." - Beth McKibben
