“We loved walking in and being greeted as though we were valued even though we had no reservation. We will be back!”
“We had such a wonderful experience at Passador Steakhouse for our date night. The food was absolutely delicious, every cut of meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The salad bar was fresh and full of great options, and the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it a great spot for both date nights and special occasions. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back!”
“This is our go-to date night. Never had a bad meal. The specials is where it's at! Rollatini anything is amazing. Expect a wait even if you have a reservation, but just grab a drink at the bar while you wait. It's a small restaurant but very cozy and you feel the love that the family has but into running this establishment. They gave us a nice homemade pickles for a surprise xmas gift - so sweet! Just love this place. Get there early or try to make a reservation before 6pm to avoid the crowd.”
“Okay, another Google bloop, I have rated this place 3 times already since it opened.
Phantom reviews. So here I go again, love this place for Korean food. Ive eaten Korean food in Korea. I was married to a Korean for many, many years. I know what Korean food is and what it's supposed to be. These guys have it down with love.
You name the dish it's game on, we come back here every time we have a craving.
So glad there's something Korean on this side of town so I don't have to drive over to buford.
Plenty of parking. Go to the parking deck and on Saturday do the farmer's market thing. Then, make this your brunch stop. Great place.”
“Hands down, the best sushi I've ever had. They incorporate truffle oil in some of their rolls and if you like truffle, you cannot go wrong. Very savory. I'd recommend the avocado balls, crunchy spicy tuna roll and the snow crab in miso soup. The truffle aioli salmon appetizer is another hit. The cocktails - Wow! Thai Me Up is a their version of a spicy margarita but they use some sort of oil and it is delicious! I'll be craving that drink for a long time. It's not cheap but if you're looking for a treat or have a special occasion, it's a full recommend from me! Thank you goes out to Kelly, our server, who steered us towards the fantastic dish selections.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“I had an incredible time, our server Ann was phenomenal. She made our experience one of a kind and was super friendly. Definitely returning again”
“Went for birthday dinners for two couples. Sat outside which was wonderfully quiet. Service was excellent and accommodating to specific requests. Sweet potato shrimp fritters were awesome. Deviled eggs were good. Caesar and spinach salads very fresh. Two of us had the pork chop, which was excellent. Meatloaf was sliced and grilled by request. Signature old fashioned cocktail made not too sweet by request. Complementary desserts for both birthday boys provided. ”
“We recently enjoyed a Celebration of Life and a fabulous lunch at Dyar Persian Grill. Very cozy and intimate, very nice ambience and a full bar. They were very accommodating in every way, and the food was fabulous. After 40 years of marriage to a Persian (who is an amazing cook, along with his sisters), I’ve tasted a LOT of Persian food, and Dyar is authentic and delicious. Thank you, Alex, for a lovely day. Your timing, presentation, and portions were perfect and everything was elegant. And thank your friend, Peyman (our nephew, another chef) for helping to make the day perfect for our family to remember our brother, father, uncle, and friend, whom we love and miss.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed a romantic date night with my husband here. The flower cover entrance is absolutely beautiful. Perfect lighting throughout. Even the bathrooms are stunning. Drinks were on point, our server, David was awesome. And the food portions were big enough to share and take home. We loved it!”

“The food definitely lives up to everything great that I’d read & seen on Facebook! The fried chicken was AMAZING, and so much food. LOVE that gravy! My husband seriously loved his shrimp and grits. It was my birthday, and the waiter brought me crème brûlée that we shared….YUM!! Best friendly waiter, and great atmosphere.”
“We stopped in here on a whim... spontaneous night out. The place has japanese vibes inside and was quite comfortable. They appeared busy and our food still came out fast. Food..... was GREAT. Best fried rice we have ever had. We did the large sashimi platter, and some Nigiri blue fin Toro and wagyu A5. I see a bad review or two in the reviews.... not sure if they caught them on a bad night or something but, for us.... this was great. Added to our list we would consider becoming regulars.”
“I don’t write reviews often, but I wanted to give recognition to my awesome bartender Heather! She took such awesome care of me and made me feel at home. And the drinks were so delicious!! Thank you so much for your awesome dedication. I definitely will be back, Love this place and Heather!”

“The pizzas here are excellent, especially the lunch special for one. They have all the traditional combinations and also a few Middle Eastern themed pies that are very good.”
“The food is as delicious and unique as it is beautifully plated. Amazing experience!”

“The quality of the food is top notch. The facility has a cool vibe to it with the high ceilings, open kitchen, and large bar. Iirc, the wine racks are a throwback to the original FSE. Our waitress Nei (sp?) really knew the menu and made great recommendations on pairings of food. The seating area is rather open and can be noisy. The portions are appropriate for your meal, and there were no leftovers at our table. Prices are on par with other restaurants of this caliber. Plenty of free parking right behind the restaurant. We will be back. 💯”
“I came to enjoy a nice meal and drink but was provided with a lifelong memory of one the best dining experiences in my life. And I’m a foodie. I love to eat out. The food here changed my life. I will never forget the Arroz Socarrat and the Hamachi ceviche. First, the hamachi was bursting with flavor. Subtle yet slightly spicy with a little crunch. Then came the rice socarrat. Unreal and full of flavor. No photo because they serve it and then mix it up for you. Plus, by the looks of it, I had no clue it was going to over stimulate my taste buds like it did. Therefore it wasn’t on my mind to take a photo.
I also enjoyed two margaritas. My favorite was the Rosa Caliente but the Avocado Margarita was fire as well.
The best thing about my experience was my server. Ashley, was more than 5 star! She guided my food choices and I could not have been more pleased. Truly a remarkable dinner and memorable one as well.”
“I can’t say enough about my experience at Cattle Shed! From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch. Every server was attentive and knowledgeable, but the real standout was Manager Alexis. She came by my table multiple times and I noticed her doing the same throughout the restaurant—checking on guests, running food, greeting people, recommending menu items, and making sure everyone’s expectations were exceeded. The steak was absolutely amazing—cooked perfectly—and the entire restaurant, including the restrooms, was spotless. The staff really know the menu inside and out. They offered thoughtful suggestions for wine, appetizers, drinks, and dessert pairings, which made the whole dining experience feel elevated. I’ll definitely be back! I even joked with Alexis that I could eat two steaks if I wasn’t on diet medication (and sadly had to pass on dessert). She’ll probably remember me for that! Overall, an incredible meal and phenomenal service. Highly recommend Cattle Shed and especially Manager Alexis for making it such a memorable experience.”

“Our first time at a Waffle House and it was great! (we’re from MN) Bruce was very helpful going over the menu with us newbies and Phil on the grill made some great chow. We enjoyed chatting with both of them. The place was clean, efficient and friendly. We will return for sure.”
“My son, grandson and I had Christmas morning breakfast at Waffle House in Alpharetta and it was great. The staff all had smiles and pleasant attitudes and the service was excellent, especially considering how busy they were! I didn't get her name, but our waitress had hair the prettiest shade of purple, and a beautiful spirit. Just goes to show you that happiness is a choice - and the employees at this location all choose to be happy and kind!”
“Best food, best service, best boozy egg nog I’ve ever had! Hands-down my favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Soraya (the owner and Chef) has created the most delicious menu and welcoming atmosphere. Staff is kind, attentive and they work their tails off. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!”
“Came from out of town and wanted some tasty desi food. This is it!! Absolutely delicious goat karahi in Atlanta! Highly recommend with very courteous service and very clean/ modern restaurant!”

“We’ve waited a long time to go to Andy’s because the lines are always really long. Finally got into the drive-thru tonight when the line was a little shorter. Unfortunately I was given the wrong order which I didn’t know until I got home, and wasn’t going back. My concrete was really good - just not what I ordered. The one I got was full of nuts which would be really dangerous for someone with allergies (I don’t have any, but son does). Lesson is to check your order before you leave. Again, really good and we’ll be back.”
“Our inaugural visit was last week (September 26). Upon entering, we were immediately and warmly greeted by Yusra. We explained it was our first visit, and she took time to explain the menu to us. The choices were plentiful, and it took a few minutes to decide. We all chose the Chicken Shawarma Plate with various sides. Each bite was more delicious than the previous. Once we ordered, our food was prepared fresh by Sam and delivered to our table. Our meals were delicious, plentiful and very good tasting. Yusra checked on us during our meal as she interacted with other guests. The prices were very reasonable, and we left with a promise that next time we are in Alpharetta, we will be back. Keep up the great work and wishing you All the best.”
“Came in after New Years Day to have a little luck. Julie recommended the ham steak, collards, beans and cornbread. Everything came out quickly and fresh. I use to come weekly with people from a local church, and their chicken tenders and fries were all I wanted to eat while I was pregnant. I’m happy to have a place like MWMH in Cumming, because I feel like I’m with family when I’m there.”
“The Creek Café + Gelato, A True Gem in Our Community Every visit here feels special. This family-owned café, run by a kind father and son, always welcomes us with genuine warmth and attention, and their hospitality makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in. For my family, it has become a favorite spot. My kids can’t wait to come for their delicious handcrafted gelato, especially the coffee and chocolate flavors, which are some of the very best I’ve ever had. The espresso gelato is simply unbeatable, and let’s not forget their excellent coffee, which makes every stop here even better. My wife often chooses this café to meet with her friends, and it’s easy to see why. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and perfect for creating memories. As a family business ourselves, we truly value service excellence, and The Creek Café + Gelato delivers it every single time. 👉 Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality gelato, great coffee, and a place where you’re treated like family”
“Im addicted to this spot i love it. The food is always good, fresh cooked in house, very healthy. The meats are seasoned well. They got free chips and some bomb salsa. And they actually know how to roll a burrito. No more disappointment when they massacre your lunch like chipotle does. But this specific location is goated. The owner Maynor is always cool and makes you feel at home, and is always there to help during the lunch times. The rest of the staff is great too, very friendly and good at what they do. Special shoutout to Charlie too man, be making my day when i come in late night. 10/10 recommend this Willys if you in the windward area off exit 11.”
“Had the most amazing coffee experience with Ben and Lucy! Great coffee will only be great coffee when your are with great people! Ben and Lucy went above and beyond to honor my presence and I’ll definitely become a regular client! I love this place already!”
“Really enjoyed our time at Up on the Roof. Food and service were excellent. Have been twice now and each time was a great experience”

“We had such a wonderful experience at Passador Steakhouse for our date night. The food was absolutely delicious, every cut of meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The salad bar was fresh and full of great options, and the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it a great spot for both date nights and special occasions. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back!”
“I just visited Oceans And Acre at Halcyon, Alpharetta, GA today, for brunch and was amazed by the service and quality of food. The manager on duty was phenomenal! I wanted a quick bite before a business meeting, and he offered several options that really hit the spot, and was tailored to my personal taste palette. Following his lead the bar tender then crafted a well deserved concoction that perfectly complimented my meal. Exceptionally friendly service, attention to detail, chill environment reasonable prices, Oceans & Acres at Halcyon Alpharetta, Ga is a hit!”
“Everything is top notch from the impeccable service, the quality of ingredients, the composition of the dishes, and the perfectly created cocktails. Special shoutout to our server, Kasandra who went above and beyond to make our experience feel more than special.”
“Went for husbands birthday. All the food was absolutely delicious. Best calamari I've ever had. Our waitress, Abby was kind and very attentive. Overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend!!”
Fine Dining
“Luci's Ristorante Italiano continues to impress me every time I visit. All the food is beautifully prepared and everything I've tried here is delicious. From the steaks to the seafood dishes, each meal tastes fresh and is thoughtfully put together. The elegant and inviting interior makes this restaurant stand out more. The overal ding experience is polished from the beginning to end. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant, Luci's is definitely worth a visit. I always look forward to coming back.”
“Dinner at Vice was amazing—from start to finish! We especially liked the complimentary valet service, which was a huge plus since parking can be a challenge on Saturday night in that area. We were welcomed at the door and seated quickly, even without a reservation (though I’d recommend making one – they were definitely busy). Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, making great suggestions and creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. We started with the Tuna which was fresh and beautifully prepared. I would have loved it even more with a bit of spice to elevate the flavor, but it was still a great way to start our meal. For our main courses, we had the burger and the Wagyu fillet both were absolutely delicious! Every bite was memorable. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Salt Factory in downtown Woodstock has been one of those places I've kept coming back to over the years. It's a solid restaurant and bar, and I've known quite a few bartenders and servers there during the last five or so years. What really keeps it on my list, though, is Leigha behind the bar. Leigha makes a great Old Fashioned, but it's more than just the drinks. Leigha has a way of making the bar feel comfortable and familiar, like catching up with a neighbor rather than just ordering another round. The conversation is always easy, never forced, and it's one of the main reasons my friends and I choose Salt when we're deciding where to go downtown. We usually check to see if she's working before making plans. That says a lot. Downtown Woodstock has plenty of good spots, but Leigha is a big reason Salt continues to stand out for us.”
“I had my daughters graduation cookies made here and they were amazing! The icing was exactly like we discussed and done phenomenally well! The taste? They were some of the best sugar cookies I’ve had! My guests were raving about them. I will be using It’s a Sweet Life for future events!”

“The food and service was excellent! The chicken 555, Naan, chicken biryani and butter chicken were all just perfect. The chairs are super comfortable and it was clean and pretty for date night.”

“Bro here i sit for the second day in a row cause this the best food let alone jamaican food I've ever had if youre reading this thinking about it just do it. The mac and cheese has ruined all other macs for me and the jerk chicken wrap and oxtails are beyond words.”
“My last two visits to The Human Bean have been pretty terrible experiences and I’ve reached out twice trying to speak with someone about it and haven’t heard back, other than from someone that said my message forwarded to the right people. The last visit was so bad I had to throw my drink away. Other than those two visits and the lack of customer support, other experiences have been perfect. We’ll be taking a small break for now from The Human Bean though and won’t be giving a specific location a third chance.”
“I absolutely love and adore this hot dog factory spot. If you’re craving fried Oreos or want to try different state-themed hot dogs that are popular across the country, this is the place you’re looking for!
The inside doesn’t have its own dedicated atmosphere, as it’s part of a shared food court with other restaurants—but those options are great too. Still, when you’re in the mood for a creative, loaded hot dog made in all kinds of ways, this is definitely the place to go.
There’s usually little to no wait time, and it’s very easy to get in, order, and be on your way!! 🌭🔥😁”
“Wow , this was my family and I 1st visit to this Pappadeaux, it’s was a beautiful experience, the waitress was a sweetheart 💕, made sure we had everything we needed, for years we have visited the one in Merrietta, I do recommend this one”
“Amazing Food and Service. I can see why this is a local favorite.
All pastas and sauces are made in house along with the fresh baked bread and mozzarella cheese.
Prices are very reasonable.”
“Brilliant Chef. Fish is off the charts. Toro and Chutoro are the real deal!!!! Simply the best Sushi around!”
“Some of the best tasting sushi I’ve had. From seaside in Los Cabo’s to here in Georgia. This place is a hidden gem and is quality. The staff is super friendly and quick. 10/10 check them out”
“I recently placed a catering order of desserts for my son’s birthday party and couldn’t be more happy. Everyone enjoyed the passion fruit mousse, tres leches and churros. Service and attention are always wonderful! Thank you l!”
“This place is AMAZING! I was blown away by the interior and we were able to sit at the top of the honeycomb seating. Our waiter was very friendly. Food was served quickly and was terrific. The pricing is pretty typical for ramen, but the taste is outstanding. We will definitely be coming back!”

“Hoy atendímos al restaurante mi esposa, mi hija y yo, y la comida como siempre deliciosa........ pero no quiero hablar de la comida, La chica que nos atendió, Monica, se fajó en la atencion, que muchacha tan acomedida y atenta...... ya se en que lado del restaurante sentarme la proxima vez.”
“Everything is top notch from the impeccable service, the quality of ingredients, the composition of the dishes, and the perfectly created cocktails. Special shoutout to our server, Kasandra who went above and beyond to make our experience feel more than special.”
“My favorite Avalon restaurant - the food is so good, and good for you too! The Korean noodle bowl is my favorite. DJ was our server tonight and he amazing! So friendly, so helpful…a great night out!”
““Cheers” with southern accents and great food. Attentive server.”
“A great restaurant that is aptly named because it really does have SOUL and is a good citizen of Alpharetta !”
“Went for brunch with a group to celebrate a birthday. Food was excellent but portion smaller than expected. 1st time there and will definitely return. the strawberry cake they brought out for the birthday was amazing.”
“We love Sid’s! Great service, delicious pizza and a great space for kids. :)”
“Tried this yesterday with a girlfriend for lunch! The food was fantastic! The atmosphere was excellent. Would recommend and will definitely go back with the family.”
“I thought I had stepped back into a kitchen in Southern India…food was fantastic and loved the Madras coffee. Highly recommend.”
“Great service Thomas is the best server and has outstanding manners!”
“Phenomenal food with excellent service from entry to departure. You could taste the array of spices found in each dish. Truly one of the best dining experiences in quite some time. The ambiance, music and cleanliness were impressive. If you need a banquet room for your gathering with plenty of parking and your caterer on site, look no further. Plenty of food options for vegetarians too. Take a moment and enjoy an unforgettable dining experience at Moon Indian Cuisine.”
“We had a big birthday party there last night (downtown Alpharetta location). Great beer selection, the food was very good, and the staff was amazing. The manager and servers took care of us. Loved the atmosphere!”
“We had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Ray's on the River today with friends, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! Our server, Liz, was exceptionally friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable about the menu. She provided excellent recommendations, including a variety of delicious cocktail options. The service was impeccable—our water glasses were always full, and the teamwork among the staff was truly impressive. Everyone pitched in to keep tables pre-bussed and maintained a cheerful, inviting atmosphere. The manager, Shannon, stopped by our table to ensure our experience was nothing short of phenomenal. It’s refreshing to see management actively engaging with guests, ensuring everything not only looked and smelled fantastic but also met the highest standards of hospitality. As a former server myself, I can confidently say this team is hitting every service benchmark and going above and beyond expectations. Hats off to Liz, Shannon, and the entire team for a memorable dining experience. Ball Ground, GA, applauds your excellence!”
“Great experience! My wife and I were early for our reservation and the host team did an amazing job getting us seated early. Food was great (chili dog), large portion of fries, and my drink was amazing- cotton candy bar drink. Thanks for a great night!”
“Had a someone spill my drink on me by on walked away, was annoyed but whatever. My bartender Lauren or Laura saw and paid for it herself, a security guy and a manager (Pablo and sheay?) came and brought me towels and I was blown away. Never have left a review or been impressed with a bars service. Can’t make this stuff up, never in my 46 years has a bar ever cared about me. Next time I’m in town I’ll be back, something special there, thanks guys! Oh and Diego was also an attentive server and a great worker!”

“An excellent Vietnamese restaurant. I tried the Bun Bo (beef noodle soup) and Com Chien (fried rice); the flavors were delicious and well-suited to local tastes. It is very clean and reasonably priced for the area. Highly recommended.”
“Christian was my server he was amazing. Hi recommendations were perfect.”
“Excellent service wonderful food...but had a Long Island Ice Tea that had 0 alcohol in it....some times you just want a good drink...”
“I’m a true Atl native and the food was so good ! TY for making it like home .”
“Real Japanese - Peruvian fusion cuisine that can easily become a favorite spot.”
“I saw Logan M carry at least 50 boxes across the whole restaurant with ease, with a smile on his face. Then he proceeded to get me my pizza in under 5 minutes during peak rush hour! Kids gonna be the real deal soon! 10/10 would come again.”
“Great place for a burger and a beer. Came in town for a quick visit and it was great spot to unwind and relax”
“Both food and service were on the mark. Calamari was simply amazing!”
“Sushi was fresh and excellent quality. However, it was all accompanied with the same simple soy sauce. The Hibatchi Shrimp was over cooked and lacked flavor. Appetizers were ok. We spent $300 for three people. An ok experience but nothing exceptional.”
“Evwryrhing was great. Only downside was we were told the wait time would be 10-15 mins but was closer to 25. Being able to order a drink at the bar while we waited made it more fun. Great food and drinks. Very fun find.”
“The sushi was so good, fresh, many tasty choices. Rolls were generous portion and reasonably priced. Very friendly service. I highly recommend!”
“Close to one of the locations where I work. Great food, very delicious 😋 and quick. Their meals are always affordable and beautifully prepared. Although I don’t drink during the day, they have an excellent and extensive drinks 🍹 menu. The Staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, plus are always willing to adjust menu options for particular tastes and allergies. If you’re looking for something special in Mexican cuisine during your lunch break…or as I call mine, “lunch-supper,” I highly recommend the Cactus 🌵 Cantina in Alpharetta! A+++++++”
“Megan and Ben are fabulous as hosts and bartender respectively and always make sure our order is correct and delicious and warm.”
“Exceptional Dining & Fantastic Service from Bella! We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Cooper's Hawk in Alpharetta! The food and wine were fantastic, but what truly made our day special was our waitress, Bella. She was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Her wine and menu recommendations were spot-on and elevated our entire meal. It is rare to find such genuine, high-quality service. We will definitely be back. We look forward to seeing Bella when we return for a visit!”
“Tonight was our first visit to VAS. It certainly won’t be our last… our server, Vita, was engaging, polite, and an absolute joy to be around. She was courteous, prompt, and kept our table sparkling clean and our drinks filled at all times. Sydney, the manager was friendly and made us feel like family. We will definitely be back and will recommend VAS and staff to all our friends. We can’t thank them enough for the most wonderful evening!”
“Dinner at Vice was amazing—from start to finish! We especially liked the complimentary valet service, which was a huge plus since parking can be a challenge on Saturday night in that area. We were welcomed at the door and seated quickly, even without a reservation (though I’d recommend making one – they were definitely busy). Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, making great suggestions and creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. We started with the Tuna which was fresh and beautifully prepared. I would have loved it even more with a bit of spice to elevate the flavor, but it was still a great way to start our meal. For our main courses, we had the burger and the Wagyu fillet both were absolutely delicious! Every bite was memorable. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Drinks were good, food was better, and our server, Karen, was an absolute treat. She gave awesome recommendations and was extremely personable. Made me feel very well taken care of for my celebratory birthday meal. Will be coming back again”
“Food was good. Server was great. Don’t know when it became acceptable for some guy to hang out at the hostess stand chatting up the hostess, but I guess it’s a very different world from when I did restaurant work.”
“Absolutely amazing! Margaritas were delicious, food was incredibly tasty and fresh and service was remarkable. We had Fernando and he was awesome. Will definitely be back!”
“The food was amazing.Chessa and Kim the bartender are amazing .it’s my new place to go.The staff is very friendly”
“Charminar India — Authentic Hyderabad Flavors That Hit Home
Took the family to Charminar India and honestly, every dish we tried was on point for taste.
What we loved:
- Chicken 65: This was legit Hyderabad-style — perfect spice, tender, that signature kick. If I’m nitpicking, they could go a shade lighter on the color, but the flavor? Spot on.
- Veg Manchurian & Lasuni Soya Chaap : Both were solid picks. The Manchurian had great texture and sauce balance, and the lasuni soya chaap packed serious garlic punch without being greasy.
- Biryani: The highlight, hands down. One of the best in town, no question. Fragrant, perfectly cooked rice, tender meat, and not drowning in oil. The mirchi ka salan that came with it deserves its own shoutout — tangy, nutty, exactly how it should be.
Only miss for us : The Shahi Tukda wasn’t my favorite. They went with a non-traditional take, and I was craving the classic Hyderabad version. Not bad, just not what I expected.
Vibe & Service : Warm staff, quick service, and the place smells like you walked into a kitchen in Hyderabad.
If you want real-deal South Indian/Hyderabadi food where the biryani actually lives up to the hype, Charminar India is it. We’re already planning our next visit for the biryani + mirchi ka salan combo alone.
Highly recommend — just maybe skip the shahi tukda if you’re a traditionalist like me.”
“Absolutely one of the best Chinese buffets I've ever eaten at. Several different options on the bar, making it one of the few times I've ever been overwhelmed when it came to what I want to eat. The servers were awesome and kept my drink full. They were also very friendly. The prices are a bit steep, but it's to be expected with shellfish on the bar. I came to town for a concert and this place is only a couple of miles from my show. I'll definitely be coming back.”
“Outstanding food. Everything was perfectly cooked. First class service. First rate experience.”
“Excellent. Beautiful location. Looks like an old Italian house. Our server Sean was accommodating and pleasant. We will return for sure. 🇨🇮”
“The food is very delicious and service is exceptional!
I went to my friend's birthday party on a Sunday afternoon. They gave her a dozen roses and a complimentary meal! I don't know any restaurants that do that!
I got the Shrimp Diablo Taco dish and the sauce was amazing! You must give this place a try!”
“It’s taken us a while to try TBB122. I’m not sure why. Maybe the name threw us? Finally we tried it with friends during restaurant week and have been back twice since. (Wine tasting dinner and regular dinner) The decor is casual but very elegant and understated. The space works for both brunch and dinner very well. Reminds me of lot of Bistro VG. Whites, creams and lots of windows The service was excellent on all 3 visits. The crafted cocktails were spot on. The FOOD was carefully curated and delicious. At a glance it may seem pricey but there is something for everyone’s budget and tastes. The pasta dishes and mushroom toast are excellent. Do not skip this beautiful restaurant in Alpharetta. Michelle Sedgwick has out done herself - again.”
“Atlanta’da gidilebilecek en kaliteli yerlerden birisidir. Ayrıca güler yüzlü ve saygın bir ortamda müşterilerine yaklaşımları çok güzeldi.”
“Venue is lovely. Food is excellent. Breakfast of eggs Benedict was perfectly cooked and sauced. Coffee was wonderful. Breakfast service only had one wait staff and service was very leisurely. Surprised management doesn’t staff better for this type of facility, especially for business guest on a schedule. I look forward to coming here again.”

“This is our go-to date night. Never had a bad meal. The specials is where it's at! Rollatini anything is amazing. Expect a wait even if you have a reservation, but just grab a drink at the bar while you wait. It's a small restaurant but very cozy and you feel the love that the family has but into running this establishment. They gave us a nice homemade pickles for a surprise xmas gift - so sweet! Just love this place. Get there early or try to make a reservation before 6pm to avoid the crowd.”
“AWESOME EXPERIENCE! This was our first time at Coalition Wood Fired Steak & Seafood, and I wanted to create a memorable experience for my Lady's birthday celebration. Coalition did not disappoint! Their assistance in supporting my idea for this event was critical to its success. I have to shoutout the manager, and her staff for making me feel so comfortable with asking for their help. They were friendly and very encouraging. The service we received from our server was magical and he provided the most impeccable service for the entire evening. He was thorough, friendly, and answered all our questions as first-timers. Great food. Pleasant atmosphere. Wonderful service. This is what you look for in an evening out with a great dinner. Coalition is our new favorite spot and we are looking forward to a return visit.”
“I just visited Oceans And Acre at Halcyon, Alpharetta, GA today, for brunch and was amazed by the service and quality of food. The manager on duty was phenomenal! I wanted a quick bite before a business meeting, and he offered several options that really hit the spot, and was tailored to my personal taste palette. Following his lead the bar tender then crafted a well deserved concoction that perfectly complimented my meal. Exceptionally friendly service, attention to detail, chill environment reasonable prices, Oceans & Acres at Halcyon Alpharetta, Ga is a hit!”
“We recently enjoyed a Celebration of Life and a fabulous lunch at Dyar Persian Grill. Very cozy and intimate, very nice ambience and a full bar. They were very accommodating in every way, and the food was fabulous. After 40 years of marriage to a Persian (who is an amazing cook, along with his sisters), I’ve tasted a LOT of Persian food, and Dyar is authentic and delicious. Thank you, Alex, for a lovely day. Your timing, presentation, and portions were perfect and everything was elegant. And thank your friend, Peyman (our nephew, another chef) for helping to make the day perfect for our family to remember our brother, father, uncle, and friend, whom we love and miss.”
“Our inaugural visit was last week (September 26). Upon entering, we were immediately and warmly greeted by Yusra. We explained it was our first visit, and she took time to explain the menu to us. The choices were plentiful, and it took a few minutes to decide. We all chose the Chicken Shawarma Plate with various sides. Each bite was more delicious than the previous. Once we ordered, our food was prepared fresh by Sam and delivered to our table. Our meals were delicious, plentiful and very good tasting. Yusra checked on us during our meal as she interacted with other guests. The prices were very reasonable, and we left with a promise that next time we are in Alpharetta, we will be back. Keep up the great work and wishing you All the best.”
“We stopped in here on a whim... spontaneous night out. The place has japanese vibes inside and was quite comfortable. They appeared busy and our food still came out fast. Food..... was GREAT. Best fried rice we have ever had. We did the large sashimi platter, and some Nigiri blue fin Toro and wagyu A5. I see a bad review or two in the reviews.... not sure if they caught them on a bad night or something but, for us.... this was great. Added to our list we would consider becoming regulars.”

“Best food, best service, best boozy egg nog I’ve ever had! Hands-down my favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Soraya (the owner and Chef) has created the most delicious menu and welcoming atmosphere. Staff is kind, attentive and they work their tails off. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!”
“I’d been hearing a lot about this new coffee and brunch spot near downtown Alpharetta—and it truly lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great selection of coffee, teas, and an all-day lunch menu that had something for everyone. We tried the chicken and waffles—delicious! What made the experience even better was meeting the owner and her son, a kind and humble local family pouring their hearts into the business. Great place!!! Our 2 little girls loved the chicken and waffles 🧇 !”
“Wow! I’m glad I discovered this little Gem. This small coffee shop has a variety of coffees, sandwiches, and wonderful desserts. Everything is so good! I don’t say that lightly. I’ve been multiple times and everything I have ordered has been wonderful. The owners are extremely nice and the atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. If you like coffee and pastries, as well as sandwiches; you must give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.”
“🎮 Looking for a group activity that’s anything but ordinary? Showdown Social might be one of Metro Atlanta’s most unique nights out.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being a really fun twist on game night. Instead of everyone trying to remember the rules or arguing over whose turn it is, your Game Host handles everything so your group can just relax, compete, and have fun.
The RFID-powered gaming tables make classics like Spades, Hearts, Uno, and Mafia feel surprisingly interactive, and the personalized video highlights afterward were a nice touch.
We also loved that food and drinks are served right to your table, so there’s no need to pause the games. If your group wants even more to do, they also have pool, darts, and FIFA World Cup watch parties through July 19.
❤ Like if your friend group gets competitive!
A few highlights:
* 🃏 Interactive RFID-powered gaming tables
* 🎲 Dedicated Game Host who runs every game
* 🍔 Food and drinks delivered to your table
* 🎯 Pool and darts
* 🎥 Personalized game highlight videos
* 👥 Open Play for singles, couples, and small groups
* 🎉 Great for birthdays, date nights, bachelor and bachelorette parties, team outings, and celebrations
* ⚽ FIFA World Cup watch parties through July 19
💾 Save this for your next Metro Atlanta night out. If you’re looking for a date night, birthday idea, team outing, or just something different to do with friends, this is definitely worth checking out.”
“Really happy NFA opened and we can get a good burger. Small, straightforward menu. The double with tots and a shake are a perfect trio. The burgers are smashed and well seasoned. Water is self serve by the bar. Staff is always friendly and easy going, will change one of the many big screens for whatever you want. Will be the go-to for 1PM World Cup games. Even when it’s busy, line moves fast and food comes quickly.”
“This is my second time eating this pizza. The first time I was put off by the price and the value for dollar. The pizza was good the first time but it was too darn expensive. This time I opted to get a larger pizza that I can share with my family and I got the hot honey pepperoni. It’s my first time trying hot honey with the ricotta cheese and thank the gods I got the hot honey on the side. Maybe it’s just my taste but I believe the hot honey all over the pizza would have ruined it. This is a margarita style pizza with a crispy crust and a floppy center. The crust is very delightful and the sauce is absolutely delicious. Oh this was an excellent pizza but even still at the larger size I don’t think it’s worth the money. This is a 10 inch pie for $20. All of my local pizzerias will sell me a 16 inch pie for $17. I admit that the quality of the ingredients is higher and it is a very tasty pizza but still overpriced.”

“I come to Playa Bowls all the time and it has never disappointed! The staff is always kind, greeting you when you first walk in. They are so welcoming and when making the orders quick. They are quick with the orders and they always come out so yummy! Everything comes out fresh and consistently yummy! It is definitely my top #10 favorite spots and I can’t recommend it enough!!”
“We love Nonnina’s!!! Hands down best pizza in the neighborhood! The crust is always perfect and the ingredients always taste fresh. The staff has never been anything but super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is very laid back and family friendly. 10/10 recommend”
“Tried the Achari Wings, Angry Thai Wings, and pizza — everything was really good. The Achari Wings had a great desi spiced flavor, and the Angry Thai Wings were perfectly balanced with heat and sweetness. The pizza was fresh, flavorful, and complemented the wings really well. Definitely worth trying!”
“For the price ($15–$18), it’s an excellent place that serves good food. The protein options are great, and the hummus is tasty. If you’re ordering a hummus bowl, be mindful that they give a very generous portion of hummus. There is plenty of seating, but most tables accommodate up to four people, so it may not be a good dine-in option for a large group. Atmosphere is pretty casual!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed a romantic date night with my husband here. The flower cover entrance is absolutely beautiful. Perfect lighting throughout. Even the bathrooms are stunning. Drinks were on point, our server, David was awesome. And the food portions were big enough to share and take home. We loved it!”
