To all readers of these reviews about Bea's, have you noticed a "common denominator" in all?
The "overwhelming majority" rate Bea's as FIVE STARS, and most patrons have been going there since childhood. I am in that Company.
Haven't been for a few years, beacuse I now reside in Marietta, GA, but when I was a kid, we went there after Church on sundays, and we ALWAYS had to stand in a line outside, that stretched around the building.
There's an old saying: If Locals are standing in line outside: IT'S GOOD!
Sure, if you go alone or with a party less than 6-8, you'll be sitting and eating with people you don't know and it's a bit awkward; The food is worth the slight feeling of awkwardness - That's just the way it's served.
Bea's is there - AND WILL BE THERE - because of Families, that keep returning - GENERATION AFTER GENERATION!
