First open in 1934, the original Palms Grill Cafe was located in Atlanta’s downtown area along Route 66. However, it closed in the late 1960 before it was recreated and reopened in Atlanta many years later. Today, it offers an old-fashioned, nostalgic feel that many travelers along the Mother Road enjoy.
