  • "Little’s Food Store is a fabulous neighborhood market, and grill, where you can grab quick bites to eat, and a few grocery items you may need to take home! They have the one of the best burgers in the city, and their pimento cheese spread is to die for! They also have a diverse selection of beer and wine… The staff is always friendly, and they’ve recently added a really nice outdoor seating area, with several picnic style benches, and beautiful stone work, so you can enjoy some fresh air, while eating your food and enjoy a beverage, and chatting with neighbors and Carroll Street regulars, before you scoot back home!"

The burgers here are awesome. Not to mention the BLT. If you're around, breakfast is good as well, but it doesn't measure up to the high bar that they set themselves for lunch. Great selection of local beers as well. I have to say this as well. I was making chili recently, and ran out of chili powder. Since they are so close, I called to ask if they had it in stock in the grocery section. The answer was no, BUT, since they used it in their kitchen, they provided me a small bowl (enough for what I needed) from their cooking stash, gratis. Seriously, that blew me away. Where else does this happen? Awesome.

It's been 25 years since that fateful day when Undertaker threw Mankind off of Hell in a Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table, and I still think about that day a lot. A moment so impactful and life changing that people are still talking about it over two decades later. I'd like to share a similar moment about my first experience dining at Littles but my kids don't ever call me. Burgers, hotdogs, fries, beer, they have it all, it's enough for me to come back time and time again and I'd love to share this moment with my kids if only they'd return my calls, I miss them.

  • Jorge Garcia

Little's is just that- little. But it's one of the best places to get a great meal. Not many people go often, so it's never very crowded. They only have about 5 bar seats, so most people get food to go. Everything is amazing! Burgers, hotdogs, slaw, fries, onion rings, fried pickles, everything is homemade right there and is awesome. They grind their own meat, cut their own fries and rings, and they are a deli too. Their breakfast is awesome as well. When there's a line at every brunch place in Atlanta, you can go here and get an anything you want in minutes.

I use google all the time, but I don't think I have ever written a review. My wife and her friends booked an extensive Asia trip through Ray and Anthony. I am joining her later and I became clients when some of our flights needed coordination. I just came back from picking up 2 Visa's which they fully completed for us! I think I am a seasoned traveler, but these guys know their stuff. They know where the best prices are, where the seats are, where the hotels are and the extra tips they provide are lasting! They treat you like you are their biggest client!

  • Bryan Rogers

These guys deserve a shoutout. They are a beloved, well tenured, hole in the wall (they keep the hole clean) burger dive with the perfect selection of burgers and booze (and etc.) to satisfy both the simple and complex palates. The owners are excellent people ; they’re Cabbagetown staples and deserve an excellent thumbsup and nod.. and 5 additional stars for the excellence. Front door could use a dampening spring or something tho maybe ;) ( I always feel like I’m damaging their door whenever I come in and forget to close it XD)

  • Timothy Kelly

I discovered this place a couple years ago on my lunch break and was a fan from minute one. Good honest food at a reasonable price in a nice setting - you couldn't ask for more. I recently moved house and ended up moving into the apartments across the road. Halfway through the apartment-hunting process I remembered that Littles was right across the road from one of my potential picks, which made it even easier to decide on which area of the city I was moving to. That's how good this place is.

  • Alex Studd

It's a shame there are so few places left in the United States like Little's! It's such a special place to chat with others in the neighborhood, pick up your grocery essentials (including a pack of beer), and get a hot meal all at the same place. If I lived in Cabbagetown, I would be coming to Little's practically daily! I absolutely would recommend this place, and I was equally impressed with the fried chicken sandwich that I ordered!

  • Madeline Long

Little's is a reminder that there truly is good in the world. They have beer, wine, cheese, canned food, and some fresh produce. Just this by itself is enough to make me happy, but then there's also a kitchen with hot food. The burgers are incredible. The chili is the best I've had. The fries are perfect. The chili cheese dog is pure goodness. And the staff is always kind and friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

  • Don

My go-to spot for burgers. This is the coolest retro old fashioned corner store vibe I have seen in Atlanta. It is part grocery store part cafe. They have a menu that changes everyday, but is usually some variation of sandwiches and burgers. It is a staple in cabbagetown and I love supporting the small business. The food is very good and actually moderately priced. I pray they survive the pandemic!

  • Sam Clark

Show up before 9 for some dank eats. Burgers here are super good and the special is elusive. Order it now or you might miss out. The fries here are super great. Good beer selection, staff are all cool. Everyone nearby is very friendly and down to earth. I feel right at home. Even if the nearby appearance is a little grungy you have nothing to worry about, it's perfect and so are the people around.

  • Don Deal

Love this place. A throwback perfectly in character for Cabbagetown. The Cabbagetown Classic burger also harkens back to simpler time, but despite its basic ingredients, it's everything a burger should be - fast, juicy, hot, and delicious. Besides the small counter and grill, you'll find a small assortment of groceries (including beer and wine) and other sundries.

  • Staci Skiwski

The blacks do like their food season however we know there is a difference in taste between Sea salt and Regular salt. Any experienced chef knows a little sea salt goes a long way! The chef OD…Nevertheless my fries were disgusting and shredded lettuce on a burger is always a no for me! The girl who took our order and the atmosphere was super cool!

  • Ace Wall

A little creepy. I remembered the oid owners Leon little and his sister they was fun and friendly. But now you look like it belong to somebody who worshiped the Dead. And I was scared of the food because I was scared of who I would be eating. It might have just been the decorations and the look of the place but it is a little bit on the creepy side.

  • Larry Blanks

first went there with friends Ralph Wofford and Johnny Carson. Leon Little was showing some old photos from Tallapoosa and all of a sudden I pointed to a kid and said "That's My Dad !" It was a 1916 photo and sure enough, there he sat. Leon loaned me the photo and I had enlargements made to show my mom who confirmed it was was indeed my dad.

  • C W Jeffrey

Little's is an awesome corner store that does some of the best burgers and breakfast sandwiches you're going to get in the area. With an aesthetic that hovers between a back country Waffle House and any scene from Clerks, drop in to check out their awesome food, great beer selection, and anything else they prop up. They're cool people!

  • Jason Bronson

This store is so convenient. I love that I can get my coffee and breakfast in the morning and come back at night to pick up groceries or have them cook me up a burger. The burgers are awesome, BTW. Staff is friendly. You won't find the cheapest prices here but you will find the most character. Support local economy not corporate greed.

  • Willie Marlow

The energy and the staff Was amazing. Walking distance from the coolest hang out spots and they stay open late. I recommend the burger basket with fries. The burgers are juicy and seasoned to perfection. They have everything from Cheese to King of Pops Popsicles. Please support your local business and eat at Littles.

  • Helen Harrand

This is, hands down, my favorite burger in the whole world. Get the big little burger and ask for your French fries well-done. They hand make these burgers and they're absolutely the best on the face of the Earth. I probably shouldn't give it such a great review or I'll never be able to get into the place again

  • Craig

I used to come here when I was little as a child. I really wanted to show my child where I grew up and experience the best hamburger every. However the new owner was rude and rushed me out of her store when I was just trying to reminisce old times. Just not the same environment!!!!!

  • Lindy L

First time in Atlanta, and my Airbnb Host recommended Little's Food Store for one of the best burgers in town. Their hospitality was 100%, I felt so welcomed. I ordered their Cabbagetown Classic Cheeseburger with fries, the potato rolls they use for their burgers were yummy.

  • Jocelin H

I wanted to try this restaurant for a long time because of the online reviews. Got my burger and fries and ate at the restaurant; pretty good, or so I thought. Later that day, I got food poisoning so bad I knew I would never be back....sad, but my experience...

  • Alli Brunner

Love the ambiance! Such a cute little shop in an odd little town. The staff was very friendly as well. One of the only places in Atlanta we found to get true Georgia peaches- which were delicious by the way! Definitely make a stop here if you get the chance.

  • Bobbie Rafs

In a very cool, artsy part of town. Our first stop upon arriving in Atlanta. Had a delicious burger and a root beer. Definitely hit the spot. Basically a "bodega" with friendly service, food made to order and a good selection of craft beers in their cooler.

  • Eric Rettberg

The burgers at Little's are great. Not as meticulously planned as some other ATL burgers, but somehow it works. Heavier on the mustard by default than some other burgers. The little ones are think enough to actually be filling. Fries also very good.

  • Joe Kibler

This place was suggested to me by Reddit as I was inquiring about Atlanta's best burgers, and they were pretty damn close. I love finding these little, local holes in the wall places. If you're looking for a neat spot with good food, check it out!

  • Lindsey Gastley

Love Little’s and miss living so close by. Not only is it the perfect little corner store, providing the the community with a mix of kitchen staples and some eccentric and interesting things to try. Beer, wine, CBD drinks… and delicious and

  • Mistie Cogbill

I'm so glad we gave it a try! It ended up being our favorite place to eat the whole trip. Burgers were spot on - it's to go, so we had a little picnic before going to see the Christmas lights. *We ended up going twice.* Guys at the counter

  • Sandra Woodall

Little's Food Store, my mother shopped there for groceries. This tiny store and restaurant in the heart of Cabbage Town will transport you back in time. It's the same today as it was in the 1960's and I'm sure back to the day it opened.

  • Bethany Brevard

The food was good, but not as great as the reviews lead us to believe. The woman at the counter was rude and there are lots of pentagrams and upside-down crosses in the place. So not somewhere we will return. Got a real creepy vibe!!

  • jeremy reeme

Awesome burger, real fries. Cool staff. Drivin by a million times...ashamed I havnt eaten here much earlier in my time here in Arlanta. Think Ibwill go today again. If your lookin for a small quirky, artsy, spot, ya gotta go here.

  • Andrea Marban

Little's serves our favorite burgers in all of Atlanta! On top of that it's locally owned, provides great customer service, has an awesome throwback general store feel, and is in a great spot on Carroll Street. Love this place.

  • Per Sveen

Fantastic burger and great people! The inside is closed to seating but there’s a big lot next door with picnic tables. It’s the perfect little neighborhood shop and it makes me wish I lived within walking distance!

  • James Nguyen

Never had a chance to meet my grandma and she lived in Vietnam, but I imagine if she were american she would look like Betty white and would make me a Sammy like they do: with a lot of TLC. Oh yea also great chili

  • Rachael

This place is reason enough to visit Atlanta. The burger was one of the best I've ever had: expertly seasoned, cooked to perfection, and dripping with cheese. Excellent service in a cozy, unpretentious location.

  • Tony Narcisse

Every neighborhood would benefit from a market like Little's Food Store. Sundries, veggies, good beer choices and a counter for a bite to eat. Add the warm and friendly service and you know everyone is welcome.

  • Diana P

I love that this locally owned business is a part of our community. The food is absolutely delicious and hits the spot. I've even found hopslam in here after it was sold out everywhere else. Thanks Little's!

  • Cory Jacobs

One of the best cheeseburgers in Atlanta! Super cute outdoor picnic area and they always get the order right when you call ahead. I’ve eaten here over 20 times and will continue to be a long term customer.

  • dylnchvn

Love their burgers!! But I wish they had a better note to why as they’re closed on a Monday when their online hours say they’re open today :/ Was really looking forward to coming back here again.

  • Senicka Clarke

Mold and hair on my Croissant. Hash brown was hard. Cook should use glove on RTE food regardless of how many times they wash their hands… especially with everything that’s going on right now

  • Vincent Holt

Great little spot for a hamburger. This place also has some grocery and convenience items. Fried mushrooms are great. Carroll Street is a great little spot in Cabbagetown for a lunch visit.

  • Natalie Villacorta

We ordered burgers and fries on Stomp and Chomp and had to wait a bit, but it was ABSOLUTELY worth the wait. Burgers are well seasoned and fries are juicy and crispy. Great price as well.

  • Adelaide Taylor

Amazing selection of beer, wine, and even kombucha. Friendly staff who know the Cabbagetown and Grant Park locals. There is so much character packed inside and outside that Little store.

  • Lisa A

Nothing better than a burger or breakfast sandwich from littles. Also, there chili is great. Nice spot to grab a few things like beer or a snack while they grill you up a great sandwich.

  • Jess Von Brandt

For the last minute things you need in the neighborhood. Great wine selection and fabulous tiny burgers. The way Krystal's should be. Get the little's cheeseburger the way they come.

  • Emilie Vita

A quirky, neighborhood classic! These people love their community and serve it well! Delicious burgers (vegetarian and meat options) with a nice assortment of pantry essentials.

  • Andrea Maki

I haven’t lived in Atlanta for over 5 years and whenever I come back this is the place I ALWAYS make time for. They make my hands down favorite burger of all time. Just do it.

  • Kevin Schilling

Hidden gem of Reynoldstown. Grind house was packed so we tried Littles and couldn't be more pleased with the burgers! Only regret was that we didn't get the double patty!

  • Steven Prager

I mean... they have the best burgers inside the perimeter. No question. Their onion rings are also incredible. Little's is a staple of Atlanta and I love coming here.

  • Jeff So

Pimento cheese burger basket was great. $11 with a soda and fries. Fresh cut fries and think Shake Shack type of burger. Limited seating if you plan to eat there.

  • Johnny Miranda

Please don’t go here for a nice service! The food is good but the lady serving just be prepared for the worst experience! Kind of sad after going for some years!

Just a fun little neighborhood store that happens to have a great beer and wine selection and a solid burger (ground fresh daily) and fries (handcut).

Worth a visit. Fresh hand made burgers, nothing fancy on them. Good hand cut fries. Also, a small grocery store with produce, wine, and beer.
