Classic haunt known for soft-serve ice cream, serving up fast-food favorites in a laid-back space.
"A classic is always a surefire. This Atlanta staple is known for its soft-serve ice creams and loaded sundaes, along with hamburgers and hot dogs. The all-beef foot-long dog is served with chili, mustard, onions, and slaw. Also try the bacon cheese dog that comes loaded with chili and onions. There are three locations in Forest Park, East Atlanta, and Tyrone." - Eater Staff
"An Atlanta institution, the East Atlanta location of Zesto includes a drive-thru for when that nut brown crown craving hits. For those unaware, that’s vanilla soft serve ice cream dipped in chocolate and nuts. The restaurant also serves American fast food fare like milkshakes, burgers, hot dogs, wings, tacos, and tater tots and fries. The Forest Park location features a drive-thru window, too." - Eater Staff
"What: Fast food and soft serve joint. Why: Friendly, old school, ATL classic. Get: A Brown Nut Crown or any of the ice cream sundaes, milkshakes or malts." - Rogers Eckersley Design
"Zesto’s Drive-In has been an Atlanta institution since the first location opened in 1949 on Peachtree Street across from Brookwood Station. With only three remaining outposts in East Atlanta, Forrest Park, and Tyrone, people can still partake in one of the restaurant’s most popular items: soft serve ice cream. Dip that chocolate or vanilla soft serve cake or waffle cone in nuts, chocolate, or butterscotch topping." - Beth McKibben
"A drive-in restaurant in Atlanta featured in Donald Glover’s series Atlanta. Known for its burgers and ice cream floats."
