Mary Mac's Tea Room was opened in 1945 by Mary MacKenzie near Peachtree Street on Ponce de Leon Avenue. In the period right after the end of World War II, enterprising women in search of a living, some of them mothers widowed by the war, were establishing restaurants all over Atlanta; at the time, a woman couldn't just open up a restaurant, so many female proprietors used the more refined Southern name of "Tea Room." Mary Mac's Tea Room was one of 16 tearooms in Atlanta and seated 75 guests. Today, Mary Mac's is described as the last of the sixteen tea rooms that once dotted intown Atlanta in the 1940s and the only original tearoom that remains. The restaurant originally opened with one dining room; today it has 6 bustling dining rooms and a full service bar, has expanded to 13,000 square feet, occupies several storefronts, and is described as one of the city's five-largest restaurants. The restaurant states that it still does things the way Mary MacKenzie and her successor, renowned owner Margaret Lupo (1962-1994), did things, and that it has a few people still serving and cooking there who have been employed for over forty-five years.
