This alternative take on burger toppings with pastrami , Russian dressing , gruyere cheese , pickles , and caramelized onions , makes this one or Atlanta's must try burgers .

Get the Avenue D. With salty lox , cream cheese , salmon roe , cucumber , and chives on the bagel of choice, it's hard to find a better example of this New York classic in the South. Read more

The burger is one of the best in town , but other star dishes include the poutine fries , cheesecake , and piled-high sandwiches . Read more

Instead of making your own sandwiches for a picnic in the park , order favorites such as a vegetarian Reuben or classic pastrami sandwiches stacked high with house cured and smoked pastrami . Read more

Get the Fish & Potatoes for Brunch if you're looking for a satisfying meal. Not too heavy, not too light, just right. Busy for Brunch , get there before 12-1p if you want a bagel , sometimes sells out.

Great for breakfast ! They have a full service coffee station and their bagels and pastries are spectacular!

This adventurous cafe is open for the early birds and those late night cravings. The General Muir is the perfect balance between a classic diner and a deli so stop in anytime for just about anything! Read more

Love the atmosphere & food, plus the servers are always kind. Get the everything bagel w/ scallion caper cream cheese . It's pretty salty, but worth it. Also, the pastrami poutine is out of this world.

Emory area, nice patio . All the authentic deli classics, but the atmosphere is a notch above. Outstanding bloody marys & smoked salmon ; matzoh ball soup worth taking home. Great lazy brunch spot .

The cheesecake is firm where others are too soft, & tangy to offset its inherent richness. It's rare to call a classic a game-changer, but this dish has earned its spot as one of the 100 best in ATL. Read more

Chef Todd Ginsberg 's take on the Reuben is a fatty, salty, comforting sandwich that's not only worthy of the nation's best delicatessens , but also CL's list of 100 best dishes to eat before you die. Read more

The Hot Brown starts with a sturdy slice of challah and piles on house-roasted turkey breast and sliced tomato until it’s the size of a youth football , then it's blanketed with Mornay sauce. Read more

The Rueben : Chef Todd Ginsberg understands better than anyone the art of the impossibly rich two-fisted sandwich . It squishes, it crunches — meat, tang, cheese , glory. Read more

I highly recommend their Everything Bagel with Veggie Schmear, Black Car Cookies (or anything in their bakery ), and their Pastrami Burger ! Even their Veggie Reuben is fantastic!

At night, the Muir morphs into a brasserie where you can get a pastrami sandwich , a raw kale salad tossed with green goddess dressing , or a deftly crafted pasta dish. Read more

Ok, obviously everything they have is absolutely delish. But of all the items, surprisingly my 2 favs are the everything bagel (sea salt & a crunchy perfection) w/ schmear & the veggie Reuben !! ????

great restaurant but don't forget to check out the attached deli where it's easy to grab a box of bagels & a few schmears or even a quick sandwich & matzah ball soup

Whether it’s a latte , the matzoh ball soup or an open-faced bagel with lox (most likely the Avenue A), there’s something for everyone at your table to Instagram without having the same photo. Read more

I loved it very much! Had to wait quite a bit tho, I wish they took reservations for brunch . Overall a very good experience and will be back for sure <3

The roast beef sandwich was killer. The fries ? Out-of-this-world. Hello sea salt ! And the cheesecake ? Yum. Don't even get me started on the incredible staff .

Poutine with pastrami at the General Muir puts French Canadian cuisine and self-indulgence with a side of gravy on CL’s 100 Dishes to eat before you die. Read more

One of the best fried chicken in town . Only available on Friday. It can be hit or miss (one time it was over cooked) but more hit than miss.

Beet and faro appetizer is insanely good. Includes oranges and small chiles. I had it with Hemmingway Daiquiri (rum , agave nectar , grapefruit ) and it was a great match.

Great atmosphere and awesome food. I had the Hot Brown and a Bloody Mary . I am going to try the Poutine next time as it also looked very good!

The fried chicken is very good, cooked with a very light and crisp breading , served with a honey-Tabasco dipping sauce and pickled veggies . A little pricey but worth a try.

Poutine is the Best. Rubin Sandwich is second favorite. Fresh Food , nice atmosphere for a family or group of friends. Highly Recommend.

Eater "21 Essential Hamburgers of America" '15: serves 2 versions of burger . At lunch - "tamer version." At dinner , "frizzled pastrami , Gruyere , & caramelized onions appear" w/delightful results

Excellent service , incredible space & delicious food! The restaurant is open, clean & bright . Parking is easy as well .

Brunch is amazing here! Always splurge and get the assorted pastry basket and share with the table. You won’t be disappointed!

What an amazing place. The pastry basket ! The poached eggs over grits ! Great atmosphere and upbeat music playing in the background.

The bread basket is amazing! Highly recommended to get at brunch . My meal was on the saltier side, but I guess that is expected of a Jewish NY shop?

Always something great here. Be on the lookout for their frequent pop-ups and special one-night-only offerings.

Try the chocolate almond macaroon !! It is huge, sweet, creamy and crunchy all at the same time! One bite= heaven

Great place for Sunday brunch . Classic NY deli style restaurant with details down to the subway tiles. Try one of the house cocktails .

Breakfast offers delicate dishes like poached eggs served over grits alongside roasted mushrooms and toast sticks. Read more

Don't forget the deli closes at 5:30 PM everyday on the dot! But feel free to sit & enjoy your coffee & baked goodies until restaurant closing time.

Lunch and brunch attract large crowds and the eatery 's no-reservation policy during these times can translate into long waits . Read more

This is an all-day destination any time of day--from the fantastic cinnamon rolls in the morning to the weekly brisket or fried chicken specials at night. Read more

Chopped liver is great. Trout toast not so much, though good. Pastrami and paté sandwich is good, but a bit short of pastrami . Service can get spotty.

The pastry basket is to die for! I went for brunch on a Saturday and it was probably the best burger I've had in my life.

One of the best burgers I've had. Awesome service - Justin is the man. Life-changing ice cream sandwich that isn't necessarily on the menu!

The @thegeneralmuir's pastrami , pickle , russian dressing and gruyere double cheeseburger is awesome. #burgers

Check out General Muir as it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for the Jewish deli putting out a fish specialty alongside killer pastrami hash Read more

First, the food is wonderful, there is always an exciting vibe, but each time I have visited I have sat at the bar and ordered food & drinks. The service is completely inattentive, actually terrible!

Cheesecake is a must. Very firm and rich. It goes along with reg coffee very well ♥

The Rueben is spot on. Definitely split hash for the table...you won't regret it

The food here is delicious! I had the Lower East Side platter which is enough for two. The trout salad was especially good.
