We love a good restaurant in Georgia that has withstood the test of time. You can’t beat those time-honored restaurants like The Plaza Restaurant and Oyster Bar, considered to be the oldest continuously operated restaurant in the state. But if you’re looking for a historic spot that also happens to be the second oldest hot dog restaurant in the country, then head right on over to Macon, Georgia.

Who knew that in 1916 when James Mallis opened the very first Nu-Way Weiner stand in Macon, Georgia that the chain would still be in operation today?!

Back when Mallis purchased the original storefront on Cotton Avenue in 1914, he was using it as a fruit stand and sandwich shop.

But once Mallis realized that hot dogs were becoming a huge treat in Chicago and New York, he converted the storefront into a hot dog stand.

Since Nu-Way Weiner was established the very same year as the famed Nathan’s hot dog stand in NYC, it is considered the second oldest hot dog restaurant in the entire country.
