Taco Mac Takes Home First Place in Atlanta Burger Wars

Taco Mac, which has three locations in Cobb County, racked up several major awards throughout May, proving the company isn’t just winging it when it comes to quality food and drinks, hospitality and business practices.

Recent recognition includes Grand Prize Winner at the Atlanta Burger Wars, Best of Duluth Award, Best of Roswell Award and Best Creative Wing at the Brookhaven Slingin’ Wings Festival.

“Taco Mac is known for our award-winning wings and craft beer selection, but listening to our guests is always our best ingredient for success,” said Emily Beesley, senior director of Marketing. “Our restaurant teams have been working hard to keep our guests happy with the food they crave and the sports-watching atmosphere they love, and those efforts have paid off in a big way through these recent accolades from our Atlanta community.”

On May 6, the Atlanta Burger Wars took place at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton. Some of the greatest burger masters were pitted against one another for a chance to compete in the World Food Championships while benefiting McDonough Arts and Speedway Children’s charities. Taco Mac’s BBQ Blues Burger Stax won the Judge’s Choice award, resulting in a trip to the World Food Championships in Orange Beach, Alabama, this November. Taco Mac fans can view all the Burger Wars action when Food Network airs the event on national television in September and can try this burger at all locations beginning in August.

On May 20, Taco Mac took home two awards at the first-ever Slingin’ Wings Festival in Brookhaven. The restaurant’s lemon pepper dry rub won Best Creative Wing, while the medium sauce was runner up for Best Buffalo Sauce.

To top it all off, Taco Mac received the 2017 Best of Duluth and Best of Roswell awards in the local business category. Winning companies were honored for enhancing the positive image of small business through service to their guests and the Duluth and Roswell communities, making the areas a great place to live, work and play.

Cobb County locations are 2650 Dallas Highway in Marietta; 3101 Cobb Parkway SE in the Cumberland area; and 600 Chastain Road in Kennesaw.
