Inscription.
This building at 461 North Central Avenue is the original home of Chick-fil-A®. Opened in 1946 by S. Truett Cathy, The Dwarf Grill started a legacy of serving the community with great care and delicious food. By 1957, the restaurant was renamed, The Dwarf House, and a porch and chimney were added. In 1967, a new building was constructed to serve more guests. Today, in its original location, The Dwarf House carries on the vision of Truett Cathy to love our neighbors and provide quality ingredients and service to our customers. To many, this location has become a second home and at our house, all are welcome.
