Heard so many good things about this place so I decided to come check it out and I’m so happy I did! Tried the grinder sandwich, melon salad and house brewed coffee for lunch while I worked in the back patio. The generous sized sandwich was super flavorful with different cuts of meat and the melon salad was unique and very refreshing. The atmosphere of this place is so cute. Loved the open kitchen concept. The staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back for their dinner service!

Staplehouse is about to become a new staple restaurant in my eating out rotation! The Grinder sandwich literally blew my freaking mind. 10/10. High quality ingredients all perfectly balanced on the most DELICIOUS bread. Well worth $23 - such care and craftsmanship. Whoever made the recipe deserves an Oscar - or whatever the sandwich making equivalent is. Kale Caesar Salad was also a banger - I normally avoid Cesar salads like the plague at restaurants because they’re so limp and lifeless. This one had much gusto and flare, a very unique take with smooth, tangy dressing. Also you feel so dang healthy after eating it. Another 10. Only thing that didn’t blow my mind was the Alkaline Noodles - I wanted to like them so much but they’re a little lacking in taste - salty and spicy but weirdly flavorless. Noodle texture was great though and I think this could be another perfect dish if they made them a little more fragrant and saucy. But that’s just one little lady’s thoughts. Overall, marvelous. I will be a patron for as long as I live!

One of my favorite places to go for lunch in Atlanta. If you want the best sandwich/pizza you’ve ever tried, you need to come here. Top quality ingredients. Friendly service. Great vibes outside. You get to walk through the kitchen on your way to the outdoor area and see their spotless setup. Small menu and it changes often but it will hit no matter what it is. Kinda hard to find parking but I usually find street parking somewhere close and walk.

BEWARE! This is a place you need to know about!
We wanted to first pay respects to Jake, the head chef, watching him direct his kitchen and being waited upon by his staff was truly a wonderful experience in itself. Me and my wife sat down to eat this last Saturday at this establishment and we wanted to tell you our thoughts about the meal.
The surprise starter course we had was caviar in a tart that was an explosion of chilled fish with pops of freshness, the second was an oyster that was served with a basil on top, it was a little bit too salty maybe because of the bacon or ham in it, but all around it was a different take on fresh oysters that left me wanting good old fashioned oysters with Tabasco sauce, lemon and a cracker.
The 1st course was an amazing display of cucumber over a mix of puffed rice and yellow fin tuna marinated in fermented yuzus and habanada pepper. It was masterfully crafted, every bite left me wanting more, so fresh and so light. Perfectly tart, like just a kiss of lemon over expertly prepared fresh caught fish.
The 2nd course was definitely Japanese inspired. The Uni toast was everything my mouth was waiting for. The combination of herbs and flowers with Uni and a tomato parmesan sauce that enriched the toast made this savory seafood dish one of my favorites. They paired it with an amazing cup of egg based broth with peeled cherry tomatoes and other various herbs and flowers that made the experience feel like a sophisticated Michelin star level grilled cheese and tomato soup with that umami factor!
The 3rd course was a carrot vadouvan dish that spoke to me texturally, but not my taste so much. It was all vegetarian that had a great smell, great visual, great texture, and an interesting flavor experience from the slice carrots and vadouvan, with a deep fried sesame leaf over the braised carrots, vadouvan, and dill oil with a cashew sauce. I couldn’t taste much of the dill oil, but overall the dish left me feeling slightly underwhelmed by the heaviness of the dual-toned flavor experience, but overall appreciative of the finely crafted course.
The 4th course was my second favorite overall. Pairing the blueberries with the beef tenderloin was a divine choice, reminding me of a nice braised duck confit, and then being paired with a stuffed beat roll with crunchy beets on top, with a wonderfully fresh baked laminated roll to sop up all the juices, left me feeling extremely satisfied. I don’t smoke, but I felt like I needed a cigarette after that.
The 5th course was Dolce de Le Che Brûlée custard tart with fresh figs, milk ball fritters, and mint for more flavorful adornment. That, plus the fig ice cream was something that will live with my soul forever, whatever they did to it to give it that coconut aftertaste left me in blissful awe. I had to close my eyes and eat it so slowly to savor every last bite.
In conclusion, me and my family have found our Thursday market lunch spot, and anniversary dinner spot due to the HIGH CALIBER & MASTERFUL CRAFTING OF TEXTURES AND FLAVORS THAT WERE SO GENUINE AND NOSTALGIC TO THE SENSES!

Popped in for lunch for a salad and a glass of Prosecco. I can say, without hyperbole, the Caesar salad at Staplehouse is the best salad I have ever eaten.

Just took my girlfriend for a first time visit for her, to Staplehouse. We travel a lot & visit many restaurants all over the world. Stepping up for counter service, the girl serving was so so pleasant & really sold us on our order. She was 10/10. My first issue is this is counter service. You order at the register & then grab your own drink & carry it to a table of your choice. So why do these registers always present a default 20% tip option? This is counter service. I hear that this is getting out of hand at many establishments & this is a case in point. I took my time & tipped $5 on my $65 order. They didn’t do anything except input it. A place like this doesn’t have staff making minimum wage, so I think this is really uncalled for. Then the tiny peach salad my girlfriend ordered came out before the sandwich I ordered. It was tiny, but hey that’s not my issue really. My sandwich followed & it was tasty, but boy was it unmanageable to eat. It was so messy & fell apart with the very liquid white sauce dripping everywhere. So there’s my opinion. We both as young students & travelers worked in restaurants for many years 20 years ago. Now we travel & visit restaurants everywhere. She was very disappointed. I enjoyed mine, but I’m hesitant to return.

We came for the dinner tasting menu. What a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the way we were greeted and treated by staff to every morsel that hit our palate. The building itself is gorgeous. The way the staff even treated each other made it apparent that this was a love-filled space. That feeling came through in the food. The progression of the meal was fun. My favorite dish was the hamachi - new flavors like the acid and salinity coming from plums and plants all the while maintaining a perfect balance of flavors. We loved our servers and the general environment left us energized at the end of the meal. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Special place. Meatball sandwich and alkaline noodles both truly delicious. Coffee was on par with the best I’ve ever been served. Fantastic drink selection. Outstanding service. Excited to try their new dinner format and other items on the menu.
