I am traveling on business. Walked up to have what I believed would be an amazing experience, only to be told I could not be seated for 40 minutes. The restaurant had seating times in order to rotate tables. There was plenty of space for one. I drove an hour to be told this. The website says walk -ins welcome. No reservation needed, unless 7 or more and only a month in advance. Just flat confusing and unfortunate. Update your website for people to understand how seating will work, lest more people will feel the same. Doubt I will try to do this again next time I am in town. oh, as I drove by people had sat down in a space that what appeared was available when I arrived.

I just left here and am currently sitting in El Rey Del Taco while writing this review. My entire party left Gunshow feeling more than a little disappointed. The service was good, the servers and hostess were all very nice and checked on us often. The issue here is the food. When a dish consists of 2 small bites and costs upwards of $20, it's hard not to feel cheated. And absolutely everything tasted like cumin. We probably tried 90% of the dishes they offered us but we ALL left hungry. Be prepared to leave unsatisfied and underwhelmed.

Unique, Fun, and Delicious – A Must-Visit Dining Experience! Gunshow is a one-of-a-kind restaurant that brings bustling city energy and imaginative, forward-thinking dishes to the table. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is vibrant and electric, with a unique dining experience where food is presented tableside by the chefs themselves. The roving cocktail cart adds to the excitement, giving diners a fun, interactive show. Wherever you're seated, you have a great view of the open kitchen, where the chefs work in perfect harmony, preparing each dish with care and precision. Gunshow is an experimental dining experience, so be prepared for bold flavors and innovative, tapas-style dishes that will push you out of your comfort zone. The menu rotates seasonally, showcasing the best ingredients, so there’s always something new to try. A special shoutout to the Banana Pudding! I typically don’t go for this dessert, but the staff highly recommended it, telling me it’s the owner’s grandmother’s recipe. It was absolutely incredible—rich, comforting, and reminiscent of the homemade desserts my grandmother made. Definitely a highlight of the meal! Highly recommend Gunshow for anyone looking for a unique, fun, and delicious dining experience!

A fun place with what is essentially a tasting menu, but instead of just reading about it they'll show you the dish and you can pick it or not.
Super friendly service. Casual and fun environment. The food is pretty good. A bit pricey but worth trying once.

This was quite an experience eating several different small plates of creative food
I liked the concept of dimsum style, chef-specific food art. Family style seating is to each their own, especially sitting with strangers. I don't personally like that, especially with flu and covid and God knows what else is floating around. I like a more chill and relaxing atmosphere when I'm eating and this was not that. Food had good presentations, just didn't align with my taste buds. Immature technique and experience definitely came through. But it's definitely a good starting point for these young chefs.

I think this is the most fun dining concept I've seen, but the food is a bit all over the place. And while I don't mind paying for a good dinner experience, the prices are quite high. .
Went for a dinner there with my team. Great unusual food combinations, chef menu list was what we had, so 9 or 10 servings, was a bit too much :) Service was OK but rushed and it was also not clear we need to share from one plate for the non vegetarians. Obviously very pricey! Would recommend for a special occasion dinner!

Wowowow. You read reviews and people love it or don’t (most seem to love it. I’m just going to very confidently say anyone calling it a schtick or implying cheap ingredients not folks who want to be out of their comfort zone, or who have worked in a restaurant, or who seek out creatives who believe in fresh ingredients (or on the off chance, perhaps, they experienced an off night).
From the moment we stepped in we were met with some of the best service we’ve ever had. Everyone working was quietly hustling and checking on their guests constantly. There were 10 savory dishes, we had 7 due to capacity issues but we wish we’d been able to try it all. Best bite for both of us was the halibut dish with Maine scallop being a close second for her (wonderful sauces for both) and acorn dish for me that was so divine it’s beyond words. I wished we took pictures but we couldn’t, we were too busy diving in. Most creative dish was by far the caviar. Honorable mention to the beef tartar. We had several light and delightful cocktails.
We were chatted to and checked in on no less than 30 times throughout our 2-hour, 7 dish, 2 dessert, 4 cocktail, 2 beer and 2 sipper shot tour. A marvelous atmosphere, mind-blowing food and if it’s even possible an even better and warmer staff- who, despite seating’s at the second to last service slot of the night, engaged start to finish with every single person who was there.
Perhaps not every flavor profile is for every guest but to question the commitment, hustle and/or ingredients seems more of a reflection of a lack of understanding. Kudos to Alex who took special care of us and ensured our experience was top notch and gave recs for more wonderful places for next time. We’re very thankful and highly recommend. Can’t wait to see the Gunshow again.

This was one of the wildest dining experiences I have ever had! We took our son here for his 18th Birthday and man what a treat we were in for! If you don’t want a spoiler don’t keep reading, but you get to watch the chefs each cook up high end dim sum type portion dishes. They then come to your table and personally describe the dish to you and ask if you would like 1 or 2 portions if it. You then share the dish with your group. They also have an amazing rolling bar that a bartender brings by your table and makes drinks on the spot for you. I had this amazing Old Fashioned that he did some type of flame over the top of it (see pics)! And to top it off they have a dessert selection they bring by your table at the end and ask if you want to try one, a few or all of those. I have to admit we were not in love with every dish. Some we thought we would like and didn’t and some we thought we would hate and we loved. Examples of this being the Sea Urchin dish was a very weird taste, but they had this ice cream dish with Caviar that was to die for! The menu changes every few weeks so if you go you may have a completely different set of dishes to try, but you WILL have an extremely fun time and have something you are telling and showings pics of to other people and talking about with whoever you go with for a while after! If you fully immerse yourselves you can expect around $100 bucks a person. We feel like we could have reserved a few things and it would have been more around $80 bucks a person which to me is not bad. We definitely plan on returning for a flavor tasting rematch!! Thanks for the amazing night and experience Gunshow!!
Parking: There is a free 3 hour parking limit in the parking lot in the back. We luckily found one space open but I can imagine parking can get full and you would have to find paid parking nearby and walk

Food: Mediocre at best and overpriced by A LOT. Felt mass prepped and experimental instead of refined. Nothing was outstanding and most of the proteins were dry. Drinks were not good either.
Service: Informed waiter upon sitting that one person was gluten free. They said we would be told by the chefs if the items were gluten free. This method of handling dietary restrictions is poor when you only have one opportunity to order each dish and don't know if upcoming dishes are edible. Our gluten free diner left after having only a few bites as the dish she really wanted was not gluten free and came at the end. Furthermore, the menu was incorrect and we were told after being confused about what items we were seeing.
We informed the staff upon sitting down two people would not be sharing with the rest of the table (eating gluten free). We tracked the food separately. Upon receiving the check we provided the whole dish split out. The wait staff rudely informed me that they would not split whole dishes off for me and I was required to do the math myself and they would charge my card appropriately.
For $100+ per person the experience was not accomodating whatsoever. We will not be returning as the experience was more akin to a quick sitdown lower end restaurant with meal quality and service. Diners should not have to struggle identifying what to eat when they have dietary restrictions and paying as a separate check when requested up front should be possible when it was whole dish splitting and treating like a separate table.
The experience was memorable, and not in a good way. I normally can find a positive when dining, but we were surprised the experience did not come anywhere close to the positive reviews by others as this was by far the most disappointing elevated dining in Atlanta we have experienced in years.
