I've been here plenty of times and it's always been good but never felt compelled to write a review until last night. My friend and I did a tour at Oakland last night and decided to grab a bite to eat afterwards. We chose Tin Lizzy's due to its proximity. We got there around 6:10 and it was pretty busy but we were seated immediately. There were plenty of staff around but after 12 minutes with no one coming to get our drink order, we got up to leave. A tall, handsome man (a manager perhaps?) came after us and apologized profusely for our wait and said he would take care of us at his cost. I was so surprised by his genuine concern for our dining experience. The food was great as always and he was so kind and attentive, as was our server Aalayna. We got off to a rough start but they more than made up for it. Will definitely be back here again. Thanks y'all!

Poor service, waitress was nice but didn't do anything more than the basics. The manager pushed back against our attempt to put two tables together for our party of eight. Why would you be willing to lose 8 customers over that? A glass smashed on the floor and wasn't picked up for a while, other waiters and waitresses seemed to think it wasn't their problem.The tacos were very good. That was the highlight.Parking lot is very small and not many spots.Too many restaurants in Atlanta to go to a so-so place again.

Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. My favorite was the steak taco with the blue cheese, which was recommended by our waitress. I also had shrimp tacos, which were delicious. I'd definitely go back. Maybe try the other location in Buckhead as well.

Beautiful decor on the inside. Had to try the Lobster tacos ?. A lot of Lobster meat. The Buffalo shrimp are tasty and you get a lot. Great service. Ask for Lilly. Yes, great prices and military discount!! I recommend this place for service and quality of food.Parking: Kind of tight, but manageable

The food was good but the service sucked. They sat out large party by the restroom which was too close for comfort. Our waitress did not want to be at work that day. She barely told us her name then took our drink orders and disappeared. 15 or so minutes later, she reappeared with the drinks, took food orders and disappeared again. I was disappointed because I’d been there for Taco Tuesday it was lit. Mid day on a Saturday, it was dry. The vibe, the service, etc. Based on that day I won’t be back anytime me soon but thankfully the manager was apologetic and helpful. So, maybe I’ll just order to go versus dining in. Tight parking in a tiny lot but there are paid options near by as well as paid options.

The fried jalapenos, Greek tacos, Korean shrimp tacos and grilled chicken tacos are a must try. The Monday $4 margaritas were delicious. Bartenders Whitney and Bree were great ask for them if you sit at the bar. I came on yesterday and back again today. I love Tin Lizzy.

I had never had a problem at the restaurant until today. Needless to say the parking lot is very small. I have a F-150 so you can imagine what the problem was (ADA included). Jason, the head manager handled the matter with integrity. The waitress was trying to keep up with the crowd. Bless her...

We enjoyed ourselves. Late night dinner after an escape room. Our server Steph was attentive with letting us enjoy our meal. Nice atmosphere of R&B playing, not too many ppl for a Friday night. My husband is a recent vegetarian, he loved the quesadilla but was not a fan of the impossible taco ?

There was once a vibrancy at this location that seems lost. Shiny new menus, matching tees with new branding and escalated menu items can't cover up the mediocre service & presentation at this location. There is no attention to detail anymore. Sitting on a rooftop at a restaurant can always be a gamble. Availability of seating, and the server's willingness to be positive/attentive going up and down the stairs. On this particular day our server eventually arrived, earbud in tow. Margaritas arrived with no salt or garnish and no additional plates were served when we ordered queso & chips. The second round of margaritas arrived, again no garnish, no salt & it appeared they had been sitting on the bar for a bit , as the ice was melted. I turned to my friend and said "the next time I suggest we go to Tin Lizzy's, remind me the answer is no". The empty rooftop on a beautiful Saturday should have been my first red flag. As I walked downstairs to find our server to pay the tab.....
HORRIBLE!!! I used to frequent this location, but after today, NEVER AGAIN! So, a party of 12 enters into a nearly empty restaurant and are sat in the back in the sauna-hot, humid, and old smelling. Yuck! Had we not been celebrating I would've left. I had to ask our waitress, who never told us her name, was the air on. She said "I need to ask my manager because we rarely use this space." Huh? You can't feel this heat? It came on eventually and cooled down, but smelled like sewage. Anybody should know that you don't turn off a unit because it's lack of running will be more costly than what you're trying to save by not. Anywho, I digressed! We proceed to order appetizers. Knowing this, a GOOD waitress would've have brought our plates and utensils (flimsy plastic) AHEAD OF TIME. We had to ask AND wait for her to bring four plates back to a party of 12. We were reluctant to send her back because it would be a while before she would return. My trio comes out and the cheese is lumpy. Clearly it wasn't hot, but we were hungry. The buffalo chicken nachos were super salty and while I can't eat shrimp, someone stated they were salty. This must have been the bartender and waitresses first day because multiple sent their drinks back, others complained they just tasted like juice and one ordered a pomegranate martini that came out looking like a pineapple margarita. When the waitress was asked what it was she said "that's the regular." Regular what? Pomegranate and pineapple juice are NOT the same color. Our food FINALLY comes, as our waitress could not multitask, in these dingy and rusty tins. We were seated by the restroom which was an accident waiting to happen. The floor was as slick as grease, the soap dispenser broken, and it smelled of sewage. Not to mention when it was last cleaned. My one fish taco I had was good and my beans and rice; however, the service was ridiculously slow. We went several times looking for our server. The fellowship is what made our night because it wasn't the service or food. This location needs a MAJOR overhaul and/or upgrade. I honestly don't see how they have high reviews after our experience today. Do better! All of us were bosses and are always recruiting new talent, but experienced nothing today that compelled us in that direction. For some it was their first time and they said it will be their last. I know it was mine.

We were seated and waited 5 minutes before a server came over. We ordered drinks and food and then waited over 15 minutes for 2 waters and 2 teas. Food came out before the appetizer. Some food hot, some cold. Otherwise the food tasted fine. No drink refills. We had to flag down our server for the check and to find our dessert.One bathroom was put of order and the womens was a mess. Toilet paper holder open and paper on floor. Paper towel holder broken and paper towels on floor. Rest of bathroom dirty.And we got to enjoy drama with a server yelling at a customer as she left and police showing up.

Hilariously terrible food presentation and extremely meh food as in taste . Like it is so mediocre a 10 year old could make it. So the impossible meat tacos? Someone literally took an impossible patty broke it in half , not crumble, not beak a part into small pieces, cut it in half despite the fact that impossible sells crumbles ..could also explain why the two locations were I’ve been to ,very empty . Do better run Liszt . The minimum of efforts.

Welp, what do I say? We've been to this place numerous times, but this is our first time post- pandemic. It was ummm...different. First thing that stood out was how dark it was inside. The ambiance was off. It used to have a happy hour vibe with music, bright lights, and a lot of people. There were only a couple tables with people and it was after 7pm on a Friday...yikes! The server took quite a while to come take our order but she was very nice. Our food was good...really good. The prices are up significantly but we kind of expected that. Overall it was cool and we'd probably go back but not as often as we used to.

25 minute greet time. Bathrooms had no soap wet tissue and no paper towels. I had to ask the host for our check. My kid never got her kid meal dessert. And the server had a trainee. So there were two of them. Will not
