"Dawsonville is recognized as the unofficial birthplace of NASCAR, and the Dawsonville Pool Room is “ground zero” for auto racing. It is a must-see for racing fans and history buffs. The casual, fun atmosphere is very comfortable, and the “Bully Burgers”, sweet tea, and hand-cut fries are legendary." - Customer Review
"While on vacation in the GA mountains, we took a side trip to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame (Excellent!) and then to the famous "Dawsonville Pool Room". We had the great pleasure to meet Mr. Gordon Pirkle, the colorful propritor. But the real highlight of the visit was the hamburger, The Bully Burger. Simple, balanced, an old fashioned work of art. Well worth the trip just for the burger. This is definately one of the best burgers I have ever had!! Don't miss the Pool Room for it's racing history and one great burger." - Chef Dave Del Rio
