This place is Jewish as the Pope. They probably should have closed during COVID. Everything getting super cheap and not authentically Jewish deli anything.

The TGM has the most amazing food and the best service. Highly recommend!
I came here for lunch with my boyfriend today. They had plenty of tables open, but that sat us at a seat that had a tiny warning in small, cursive print about air conditioning condensation that could leak onto the table. The sign said sit here at your own risk… I was shocked! No one warned us of this when we were seated. I figured it out when air conditioning leaked all over my dress and into my food and iced coffee. I drank and ate some of my food before noticing this. Air conditioning condensation isn’t safe to consume— it can have bacteria and pathogens. Can you please verbally warn people before you sit them here, instead of relying on a tiny sign that’s hard to read and not clearly labeled as a warning sign? I will never come back here.

Enjoyed a yummy Reuben sandwich with cucumber salad on the patio. I tried to buy bagels to take home, but had issues with the payment card for the bagels. Nyiah and Justin were so patient trying to figure out the issue and ended up comping my bagels. It made my day! Great lunch and bonus bagels!

I can die now. The NY cheesecake was that good! No gritty sugar texture whatsoever. It was incredible. This is, essentially, a breakfast joint...how is the cheesecake that damn good?!?!

Such a cute place! Andrew was amazing so personable and very helpful with the menu. He recommended the burger and honestly I can’t recommend it enough. My partner got it and it was so amazing. The cardamom brioche bun was a very good dessert too

Upscale Jewish deli. We came for dinner. The burger was elite. The rest of the food was superior as well. Our server, David, was attentive and polite. Great pickle- 9.3 rating. 5 star restaurant experience.

It was good! I was not familiar with the food scene in Atlanta, but the lyft driver recommended this place so I decided to stop in. It was not anything special in my opinion, very typical brunch food with a nice bakery attached. I had the avenue A bagel, a standard lox, cream cheese, caper, etc experience, and a cocktail. Both good! I'd go back and try some other items.

Only good things. A proper deli and restaurant in Atlanta. Great sandwiches and Jewish staples but the half sour pickles are the sleeper here

We were so excited to visit this place and have it be one of our go to brunch spots but were sadly disappointed. We waited for 15 min after being seated to get water and 20 min just to put in a drink or food order. Our waitress seemed overworked and over it. She didn't check on us at all during the meal.. only to drop off the check. The manager came over and apologized as well as took 50% off our check, and then told me that she loved my last name and that I was lucky to have it. Kind of weird. The entire experience felt like a cold, impersonal, breakfast factory and we left feeling weird and sad.

As a solo diner, I was obviously not as important as the other tables. I waited 20 minutes for a glass of water and 30 minutes to be greeted by my server. The only aspect of hospitality worth mentioning was the hostess who was wonderful in the midst of a busy Sunday brunch. This is terribly unfortunate because a staple in Jewish culture is exceptional hospitality, which was not evident here today. My plate today was traditional - lox and a bagel - but also lacked love and attention and was nothing to write home about. I grew up in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles and know what lox and a bagel could be even in its most simple form. I have been to The General Muir before for dinner and dinner events and everything was exceptional, but this was almost 2 years ago so I'm hoping that my experience today was not the norm.

This was my second time coming here and I had the cheeseburger again. It is a very good cheeseburger and cooked right, but they only have a horseradish type mustard, which is good on many things but my last choice of mustard on a burger. But I did clean my plate because like I said, it is a great burger! No "zero" drinks only diet, but the unsweet tea is very good. And I'm not sure the A/C was working very well, but it was tolerable for a short time. Nonetheless, I will be back to try other things!

Came yesterday during lunch. I had the burger, it was kind of crumbly and falling apart and also lacked flavor. The bread also was crumbly and falling apart. The majority of my fries were crumbs, about an inch long. The service was just okay, nothing to write home about. I have had a burger there before and I don’t remember it being that bad, but overall this was a truly subpar experience. It was one of those times you think it’s not worth the money spent.
