You said, “Other than mine (a really easy recipe) the best place in town for peach cobbler is Mary Mac’s hands down!! They also have the best fried shrimp. I hate to say it, but I just love cholestrol!”

OUR PICKS
1) Rexall Grill
Dining critic Meridith Ford Goldman says, “It will be hard to save room for dessert, but force yourself. You shouldn’t miss the exceptional peach cobbler with lots of biscuit soaking up syrupy sugar and juice.”

I think Buckners Restaurant in Jackson, GA is the best in GA, but for Atl it is Matthews in Tucker

I wish you would have posted this last week when I was in Tucker, GA. I could not find a good peach pie or cobbler anywhere and we asked everywhere we went. I tried the Pic-a-dilly in Tucker and The Varsity, downtown and neither offered the fresh peachy dessert I was looking forward to. I had hopes for the restaurant at the Forest Park Farmers Market, but they sold their last piece moments before our arrival. I did bring some fresh GA peaches home. The Pecan looks like the place to go. Next time!

Let’s stop extolling the virtues of Georgia peaches. I’ve never tasted a good one. Clearly, better peaches come from South Carolina, California and New Jersey.

You know, telling everyone that you or your neighbor make the best cobbler isn’t interesting or helpful (unless you include the address and invite everyone over for cobbler).

Mine is really good – it’s my Momma’s recipe, but since I can’t invite everybody over for it, I will say Matthew’s in Tucker. There is really good. And to the person who said he/she couldn’t eat a Georgia peach, well, that just leaves more for the rest of us. And, in the years my tree produces, they are the best I have ever had. Nothin’ like home grown

Just a little toot of my own horn! I am the owner of Pies by Sweet Sistah and I think my Peach “Dumplin” Cobbler is the best ever! It has a top and bottom crust, juicy with dumplins inside the pie! Anyone can order them fresh frozen or fresh baked: Call 404-219-5571 or email sweetsistah28@bellsouth.net.

I love these food blogs, I learn about places I haven’t been to like Sweet Sistah’s. But my favorite cobbler besides mine is like I said above is Buckeners, along with their fab fried chicken and stewed tomatoes and rolls. Matthews has great cobbler and so does His & Her Buffet in Acworth. I am a true foodie and will go almost any distance for the right taste!

And for the record, I’m not Sweet Sistah. Just a person who hates to see others knock somebody for trying to do their thing.

Buckners in Jackson is by far the best. If there is anyone that says anyone other than Buckners, then they haven’t had Buckners before.
Attention people of Atlanta – Please experience real Georgia food and tradition. You will not find it in Atlanta. You have to travel to find the best.

First off, Buckner’s undercooks their dough. True cobbler has a slight crunchiness too it. Secondly, Buckners uses canned peaches. I love Buckner’s food(specially the yardbird) but the peach cobbler is not that good.
Georgia Peaches are terrible compared to those from Northern California, Oregon, and believe it or not, Illinois. I am a georgia boy through and through but our peaches SUCK!!! This redclay is just not good for Peaches.
Best peach cobbler is from Gladys Knights Chicken and Waffles.

Try the Little Barn in Lawrenceville, their cobbler is the best!! They have the best BBQ and stew and the breakfast biscuits are the best (better than mom’s!) and that’s saying a lot!
Try the cobbler…bet you’ll ask for seconds.

“Let’s stop extolling the virtues of Georgia peaches. I’ve never tasted a good one. Clearly, better peaches come from South Carolina, California and New Jersey.”
It’s hard to find Georgia Elberta peaches in supermarkets because most are “contract” peaches, bought by large food companies several seasons before they are even grown. That’s how good they are. Most supermarkets only get culls, because they can’t compete with the contract buyers. Peaches at Publix aren’t the real things. Want to find the best examples of Georgia peaches–go to the state farmer’s market. Some manage to make it to market.

Let’s not forget the Varsity’s home-made apple and peach pies that have been a local favorite for 75+ years. At the North Avenue location, where they’re made each day they are even better if that’s possible…then add a hand scoop of any type of the many flavors of real ice cream they offer and you have a true Atlanta delight.

Not only should folks stop telling us about the best being in their kitchen or their mama’s kitchen; please stop naming restaurants outside of GA. If you want to recommend some restaurant in another state then do us all a favor and blog on that city/state’s local newspaper. We are looking “real” restaurants or bakeries in metro Atlanta specifically where “real” folks in metro Atlanta can go try the food of the moment. So for the best peach cobbler in the METRO ATL go to the Green Manor in Union City.

peach quality varies as do the grapes that are used in wine, so stop gripin’ about peaches. Second, the Varsity peach pies are not cobbler, and if they would actually fill them, they would taste better, and as I always post , please CHANGE THE STALE GREASE – YOUR FRIED FOOD IS AWFUL.
Finally, the Backyard Burger has excellent cobbler.
