It seems like every day, new restaurants open up in Georgia. Don’t get us wrong – that’s a great thing! We love experiencing new eateries, and it’s great to be the first in your friend group to get to brag about how good a new spot is. But there’s something so comforting about eating at an iconic restaurant that’s been around for ages. After all, there’s typically a reason that these places have stood the test of time! We have plenty of long-standing historic restaurants in Georgia, and one of our favorites is Strickland’s Restaurant that’s right between Athens and Bogart. It opened up way back in 1960
