The Dwarf House 

Located in Hapeville, Georgia, Cathy opened The Dwarf House in 1946 under the name "Dwarf Grill." This location is where Cathy invented the infamous chicken sandwich for which the brand has become known.  

"While the building has been renovated and rebuilt over the years, the original Dwarf House is still located at the same address and continues to offer sit-down, counter and drive-thru service six days a week," Eat This, Not That! reported. "The restaurant serves the classic Chick-fil-A menu plus some unique options like burgers, fried okra, cole slaw, and homemade pies." 

After opening the first freestanding Chick-fil-A in 1986, founder Truett Cathy launched restaurants that replicated the original Dwarf Grill to give customers "a historical perspective on Chick-fil-A."
