Junior's Grill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Junior's Grill is a restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States. It is located on the Georgia Tech campus in the Bradley Building near Tech Tower.[1]
[edit] History
Founded in 1948 as Pilgrim's and changing its name to Junior's in 1958, the restaurant was originally located on North Avenue at Techwood Drive just south of campus, across from Smith Dormitory but relocated because of construction for the 1996 Summer Olympics.[2][3][4] It is a family business owned by Tommy Klemis.[3] The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, and is famous among students for their battered chicken fingers.[1]
The Georgia Tech student newspaper, The Technique, proclaims that one of the 99 things every Tech student should do before they graduate is, "Eat at Junior's (and wonder why Tommy isn't in charge of all campus dining)." The most popular items are the chicken fingers and burgers in "baskets," which means they come with a choice of side (usually french fries) and a soft drink.[1] In addition, there is a traditional hot line that serves breakfast and lunch items. Junior's is open from 7:30am to 7:30pm Monday through Thursday, 7:30am to 2:30pm on Friday, and is closed on Saturday and Sunday.[2]
