“Fantastic dinner, excellent cocktails, and the service is amazing. Our server Natalia was fantastic, great personality and on point with everything! Loved it so much we are going back this weekend to try brunch! Everyone should have this restaurant on their speed dial.”
“The food was great! Jazmine was our server and she was super sweet and attentive! I really think her being our friend that night, helped us have a great experience! Thanks Jazmine!”
“Friendly Staff Esmeralda Was Super Friendly And She Was A Awesome Waitress”
“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘”

“We came in for the first time and Journey immediately helped us figure out where to go. She got us some samples and helped us with our order, and was forthcoming about potential allergens. The vibes are classic BBQ vibes, and the food is good. The chicken and turkey were moist and delicious. Even though the ribs didn't fall off the bone, the flavor was still good. The collards were a little spicy but they weren't bad. There was line of something leaking from the ceiling near the bathrooms, so maybe don't sit there.”
“Original menus that change daily, or there about. Every time I visit Georgia I get Rico’s for dinner. Food is always delicious and the flavors are original. Truly the chef’s restaurant! It’s usually a yearly birthday thing also. I appreciate his use of fresh local ingredients and his support of local growers. We can all pay it forward when we start with the best ingredients and intentions. It’s a good thing…..”
“My daughter and I have been eagerly counting down the days until Okiboru opened. What a treat it was to enjoy lunch there today! We arrived about five minutes before the store was supposed to open and were prepared to wait outside. Nope! The door opened for us and we were happily ushered inside to the beautiful new eatery. We were pleased with many choices on the menu—truly something for everybody—and enjoyed all of the dishes we tried today. We ordered spicy ramen, Tsukemen, and two different smell plates to ensure we got to taste a variety of menu offerings. Everything was delicious and brought us back to sampling ramen on a trip to Japan several years ago. Customer service was also excellent. The restaurant may be new but the staff already have everything down perfectly. A shoutout to our waitress Cassie who made sure we knew all about tsukemen, guided us when we asked for some pronunciation help, and made sure we were taken care of well for the duration of our visit. We will be back time and time again. Okiboru is a welcome addition to the food available at the mall!”
“Absolutely amazing! From the food to the service and the atmosphere has a cool vibe. The live performer was incredible and she made the dinning experience wonderful and relaxed. Smothered pork chops, oxtails, greens, cabbage, banana pudding run don’t walk!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for great meal!!”

“We went to try the 1/2 price wings.. Kayla the bartender was amazing.. the wings.. were Fantastic! Tried 2 Feb special flavors, 2 menu flavors.. loved them all.. atmosphere was great.. I was a little taken back by the cost of my Jameson on the rocks.. (single pour) $16 I did inquire thinking well drinks would be less, $15. Little bit pricey for liquor but definitely recommend.”
“"It's like a consensual sexual assault on the senses." "I feel like I got hit with tear gas. Flavorful, delicious, spicy tear gas." I was first introduced to pho when I was 22 and working at a Korean law firm. For the past 11 years, pho has been my go-to meal for everything: hangover, common cold, emotional comfort. I'd not be exaggerating to estimate I've been going to different pho restaurants at least once a week for 11 years. This is the very first one where a waiter or staff member has suggested something and said "that's the way we eat it in Vietnam." Our waiter suggested a sauce mixture (the base of which is his homemade recipe) that had my husband saying the two quotes at the beginning of this review. And he added "it's like a Vietnamese holy water, purging the demons from my sinuses" before we left. I'd highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back - hopefully we'll get more "back in Vietnam" recommendations too! It adds so much to the experience when someone shares their passion and homeland experiences with you - it is obvious food here is cooked with love. I took the picture when we were almost done because it was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture at the beginning.”
“Nice, friendly, and very clean shop close to my area. Greate place to meet and eat with friend in the weekend, a lot of option from beginning to hot pot, the broth is good enough also.”
“Wow, just wow. I love this place. We got the Viking and the tempura cheesecake. Absolutely delicious. Staff is super friendly. Everyone has to go.”

“This Waffle House is top notch and the staff are always friendly, attentive and quick! We stop in on very busy Saturday mornings and are always impressed by how well the team performs. Nina gets it right every time! This location is great and their latest public health score is 100. Who could ask for more?”
“They need to close this MF. I always ask for Bar-b-que sauce and never get it. I drink unsweet yea, I get sweet tea. People always on their phone at the window ... Every single day they have new people working there. They don't know how to take orders, There are very slow. Where do y'all find these people. They are dumb, stupid and retarded all in one ...”
“Love it my daughter invited me for the first time and it was a nice quiet place to enjoy all the meats you want”
“I traveled from North Carolina to celebrate the 4th of July holiday and discovered this fabulous restaurant near the Mall of Georgia. It was a pleasant surprise. The hostesses were bland and dry. They need more training on how to greet but my waitress Ana welcomed me with a great attitude. She made me feel so comfortable as if I was in her home personally. She exemplified excellent customer service skills. The Latin fusion was phenomenal and the DJ was on point. I didn’t want to leave. The vibe was fiyah!! I will return to get some of the best hot honey garlic wings, chips and salsa and more menu choices!”

“Great service, good to great food and a busy-under-control atmosphere. Always good to have a reservation. Let me tell 'ya brothers 'n sisters, there SHOULD BE ONE OF THESE IN OUR CLOSE LOCALITY. We hit some high places and others on our Sunday Brunch research, this is one of the better places we visit. We have been to a couple locations with great to greater results every time. This location is near the Mall of Georgia, pretty close in real terms. The DO have reservations, so it makes it a pleasure to go, to be seated quickly and have good service, a full bar and a competent kitchen staff.. This time our waitress was Kashmir and she was the best. We also had a Chance to talk to the AG (Assistant Goddess) Pam, she remembered us from our past visit-months ago, and was both cordial and helpful. We DO NOT forget good staff. The food was all on point, my Avocado Eggs Benedict was terrific with a good amount of Cheesy Hollandaise sauce and perfect poached eggs. Deanne's omelette was terrific, so was her pancake --she said. Bill's Crab-Cake Eggs Benedict was just right. The coffee's were great, and the brunch cocktails were some of the best we encounter on our weekly brunch-hunt.. Kudos to you and your staff, Snooze.....”
“I 100% recommend Paris Baguette. The atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing and has great vibes. The pastries and drinks are always fresh and delicious. The employees are very welcoming and greet you as you walk in. One employee in particular, Lam, is always super helpful and has the prettiest smile. Again, I would recommend visiting this place.”
“The Flying Biscuit in Buford was pretty busy for Labor Day weekend; still, our waitress Sarah stayed attentive and professional. She checked in on my friend and I as chatted, kept drinks filled, and managed a large section with care. The food was good; the atmosphere unique and artsy. Even under pressure, the team delivered a smooth experience. I'll be back!”
“I’ve been to a lot of Mexican spots around all around Georgia, but this place stands out as having hands-down the best food at the most affordable prices. The flavors are authentic and spot-on every single time—whether it’s the tacos, burritos, or fajitas, everything tastes fresh and made with care. No skimping on portions either!
What really seals the deal is the quick service. I can pop in for lunch or dinner and be in and out fast without ever feeling rushed, which is perfect for busy days. The food consistency is impressive too—I’ve ordered the same dishes multiple times and they’re always delicious, never a letdown.
If you’re looking for great Mexican food that won’t break the bank and comes with friendly, speedy service, this is your spot. Highly recommend—it’s become my go-to!”
“Treasure was a great bartender and server. We came for ladies night and they had $7 martinis, and they were so so good! We got appetizers (crab cakes and buffalo shrimp) We had a great time I would definitely come back.”
“Came here for my 16th birthday, our waiter Chris was awesome and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.”

“We absolutely love Off The Rails!! The decor is so unique. The staff are always welcoming and attentive. I have eaten here with my husband, and again with my girl friends, and another time with coworkers. The attentiveness of the staff never changes. We always feel that we are the only ones there. Enough about the amazing atmosphere and staff. The food is to die for. The quality is above par, fresh and flavorful no matter what you order or the time of day. The amount of food and quality far exceeds the price. I would never hesitate to bring anyone here for an affordable and memorable meal. Beautiful and unique establishment at an affordable, friendly price!”
“My very first visit to Mama Pho won me over from the very start. I was greeted by a very pretty waitress by the name ViVi. She was so nice and sweet. The food was served in a timely manner. It was so fresh and very delicious. I'm from SC and just happened to be in the area today. But I'll be sure to stop in the next time I'm over this way. I'm gonna request ViVi because she was so patient and so kind. She even helped me out with the menu! 😀 I got 5 star service and I highly recommend this spot to anyone! 5*”

“We were in town visiting friends and got a gluten free pizza from here and would 100% recommend! My son has celiac disease and when I called ahead of time to ask how the pizza was prepared the woman on the phone was very helpful. They cannot guarantee no cross contamination but explained they would make it in the back separate from where other pizzas are prepared using ingredients that are separate from the ones they use on their main line. It’s cooked in a separate metal pan, glove change/washed hands, etc. She verified the toppings we wanted were all gluten free. I felt comfortable with these precautions and the pizza was delicious. Bbq Chicken Pizza w/o onions and cilantro. 💕”
“Cold Pressed Gwinnett's 3-Day Cleanse came right on time! I've been considering a cleanse to give my body a boost, and I'm happy I chose CPG's cleanse. The juices are delicious, and the wellness shot is a great jumpstart to the day. The detox instructions were detailed and answered all of my questions. I'll purchase again!”
“My family loves this place. We come here on a fairly regular basis. The atmosphere is fun and great. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Susanna waits on us a lot. She is always smiling and checks on us regularly. Their drinks are amazing also...Very authentic Mexican food with good size portions.”
““El Taco Jalisco Hands down the best taco spot around! I’m a huge fan of their burritos (seriously, they’re amazing), and it’s a go-to place for a family outing that doesn’t break the bank. The staff always treats us wonderfully, and even though it’s usually packed, it’s worth every minute. Highly recommend dropping by if you’re in the area!””
“Fresh sushi, good quality AYCE — service could be friendlier
We came here for AYCE sushi and the food was honestly really good — fresh fish and the rice portion was not overly heavy (which I really appreciate compared to some other sushi places). Everything tasted clean and well-balanced.
That said, the service wasn’t very welcoming. There wasn’t much greeting or friendliness, and when we asked a simple question about holiday pricing, the response felt a bit cold and rushed. The food also came out automatically, so there wasn’t much table service besides clearing plates.
Overall, great sushi quality and a solid AYCE option, but I wish the customer service was warmer. I’d still come back for the food, just with lower expectations on service.”
“Our food was great and the service was exceptional! Definitely coming back when we’re in the area. Ask for Connor (waiter). And the bartender (McKayla’s) daiquiri was delicious!”
Cheap Eats
“I ordered takeout and got the pork intestine in dry pot, along with some hot and sour soup. The food was delicious! The dry pot was very flavorful, hearty and aromatic, perfect for a rainy day. I believe they use Szechuan peppercorn with this, as I had that nice mouth-numbing sensation. It could have been a little spicier for my liking, but that is my only remark (and I understand why they might take it easy on the spice to be safe).
The hot and sour soup was also yummy. It is one of my favorite dishes to order at a Chinese restaurant. I am pleased to say this is one of the better ones I've had! We'll definitely have to come dine in at some point in the future.”
“This was our first time to the Lake Lanier waterpark and we had a blast. We ate here at the Paradise Beach Cantina and enjoyed everything well enough. We got their enchiladas and some nachos. The covered patio is a great spot to eat with a view of the park. The service was fast and friendly so I'm sure we will return here again on our next visit. With their proximity it's probably the best choice, especially if you're there with family.”
“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.”
“The Father's Day Celebration started yesterday with dinner at Bubba33! There was something on the menu for everyone in our party of 6! Everyone enjoyed their choices and had leftovers for later. The host was warm and gracious. Jayden, our server was attentive and kind! The atmosphere was great! All the stars for Bubba33 in Buford, GA!”
“We had this location (Mall of Ga) cater a baby shower for 30 people. From my first call until when the “server” left our home, I receive A++ service. They were the only Longhorns of 3 that I called who would deliver and set up. Jonny helped with placing the order and followed up with any of my question promptly. He also was able to find someone to serve our guests at the party.”
“We just experience the best dining out celebration for my daughter's 18th Birthday. Our server was amazing from the initial greet and didn't change until we left the restaurant. Based on the service and the delicious dinner the conversation was how wonderful our experience was due to the entire team especially Laren and the Manager on duty Margret. Margret was superb by her customer service skills as well as leading her team in so many directions with superior customer service. Laren was very kind, polite and motivated while being two steps ahead of us as well as taking care of our needs with 100% satisfaction. Being stationed all over the world and experiencing so many restaurants but this experience stands out from all the other restaurants thanks to Loren and Margret.

“Went today with my daughter- the manager Mitch was so friendly and was helpful to his staff, he was a breath of fresh air and he did everything possible to make sure our visit was top notch! Our waitress Ashley was attentive, professional and very nice as well as an outstanding waitress. We really appreciate all their hard work even though they didn’t have much staff. These two deserve a raise for everything they have to do every day!”
“Our visit was for a family birthday with a large party. The atmosphere and service made our evening very memorable. The special attention payed to the young people was much appreciated. The leftover dinner lastnight was every bit as delicious as it was in the restaurant. We will definitely drive from Snellville to visit again!”
“Absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality at Big Cheese Cafe, a Mediterranean family restaurant. The flavors were a delightful journey, each dish telling a story of tradition and care. A hidden gem for those craving an authentic taste of Turkey in a welcoming setting. We are returning each week knowing that they will not disappoint.”

“This poor location is always understaffed but the people who do come in are always so kind and they always get my food right. They keep such high energy despite being so

The prickly pear drink is fire btw, highly recommend. It sucks it’s so expensive and you get barely a sip of it.”

“We had heard about this place and just never had a chance to stop in - until tonight. Boy, are we glad we did. My wife has a gluten allergy, and finding a completely gluten free restaurant of this quality is very rare. The quality of the BBQ is top notch and the family running the place is extremely friendly. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. All the sides we tried were excellent as well. We found a new favorite BBQ spot.”
“Absolutely amazing! From the food to the service and the atmosphere has a cool vibe. The live performer was incredible and she made the dinning experience wonderful and relaxed. Smothered pork chops, oxtails, greens, cabbage, banana pudding run don’t walk!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for great meal!!”
“Wings were on point. Crispy, spicy and tangy. The Gyro had plenty of meat and enough of veggies and sauce. The fries were nice and crispy but soft inside. Everything was hot & fresh and full of flavor. I have ate at this food court many times but was always curious to try this place out, and let me tell you it didn't dissapoint! I very much enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back.”
“This place has the best jasmine tea and gardenia flower tea, robust flavors and unique teas❤️❤️❤️ I have fortunately had good customer service at this place so far. They are expensive compared to all other places. It’s worth once in a while if you crave some authentic teas. Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“I had a great experience!!! I met the owner and had a great conversation with him, he is kind and I can tell he cares about his customers. The first thing I was greeted with is “oh I love when people walk in smiling” such a humble man. The food is DELICIOUS, I got the pesto bowl and contrary to all the other reviews I’m not GREEDY for meat. This is a salad and smoothie bowl place, eat chipotle if you want tons of chicken!! I will be back, and I will be posting for my 15k followers to see!!!”
“We were incredibly pleased with the food and will absolutely return again - so much so that I’m actually writing a review which I haven’t done in years just because of how great that meal was. The Chicken Pad Thai was perfectly seasoned and a great blend of sweet and spicy and the Red Curry was creamy and rich, also highly recommend the pork gyoza which was actually crispy on the bottom (hard to find in my experience) and juicy! We also got the Shrimp Tempura roll which was delicious! We also thought the portion sizes were very generous and both had enough for leftovers. Anyone looking for a fresh new Asian food spot has got to come try Akami!”
“This place has good food. The chicken plate is top tier and I enjoyed it a lot. Also another thing to get is the collard greens with the turkey. The service is very good she was very helpful and welcoming and I will definitely be coming back. Also I enjoyed the size portions and so if you are in the mood for good comfort food, that’s well seasoned this is the place. Touch of flavor”
