“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! 😘”

“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*”
“Food was fantastic, crab rangoon was very good. The firecracker appetizer is one i would highly recommend. pricing is very reasonable and honestly fantastic when compared to the quality of food. 10/10 highly recommend dining here.”
“Came here on a Friday night and wasn't expecting much but boy was I pleasantly surprised. The server was very polite and quick, as soon as we pick up the menu to order more, she was already at the table. The meats were savory but the vegetables were very fresh, we order the spinach 3 times cuz tasted so good. I have to mention the chili blue crab and it was so delicious and has a nice spicy kick. Only thing we didn't like was the mashed shrimpball paste, was too much starch added and tasted like jelly. There so many items on menu it's impossible to eat all in one settings. We will definitely be coming back for more.”

“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.”
“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 place is next level delicious. Do not walk, but run to this place for the best food. I had the BBQ sandwich on a gluten free bun and it was incredible. I do not know if they make their own bun or where they get it, but I fell like I was eating a regular bun. No adverse effects. I had the gluten free mac and cheese and could not stop eating it till it was gone. Highly recommend!!!”
“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!!”

“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!”

“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!”
“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.....”

““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!””
“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!”
“A hole in the wall restaurant nestled at the back of an unassuming gas station, Taquito Potosino is a must try. Don’t let the location fool you - the food is fresh, cheap, generously portioned, and delicious. My favorite item is the steak burrito - it’s massive, the meat is tender, and somehow it’s only $9. Don’t come here expecting a decadent meal - the food is simple, a bit greasy, and the atmosphere is well… gas station, but I still find myself coming back for more.”
“Out of towners. Met with family at Buford location. The customer service is unmatched.”
“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.”

“EXCELLENT BBQ! I Stopped by for a quick lunch. Being a huge bbq connoisseur, I enjoy going to every bbq place i can find around North GA. Tom was smoking the brisket at this location and it absolutely is the best brisket ive had! Tender and juicy, with great seasoned flavor. Most places that claim to have good bbq just have dry brisket.
I also got some pulled pork, smoked turkey, and smoked sausage.
The pork was good, and the seasoning added a nice flavor. The turkey was great! I expected it to be dry and it was also tender and moist. The smoked sausage i expected to be spicy, as is most, and its not very spicy, but also not overly juicy like most.
Lastly i got the banana pudding which comes topped with a caramel glaze and some cinnamon whipped cream. Excellent dessert!
10/10 recommend City BBQ in Buford!”
“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!”

“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.”
“I’ve been going to Pizza Di Folco for 25 years, and they’ve never let me down. This is a true New York–Italian, family-run spot — the kind you don’t come across often anymore.
I was first hooked on their Strombolis and Calzones — they’re huge, loaded with fresh ingredients, and still my go-to for lunch or dinner. The New York–style pizzas are magnificent, and they also bake killer stuffed pies, pastas, subs, and even fresh cannolis. Honestly, they offer the menu of a full-service Italian restaurant, just without the “fancy restaurant” prices.
It’s a humble, cozy space, but don’t let that fool you — the food is the real deal. If you’re craving authentic Italian pizza or the best calzones and strombolis around, this is the place. After 25 years of loyalty, I can gladly say: you won’t be disappointed.”
“Awesome 5course tapas and tequila dinner with good friends- we’ll be back!”
“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.”
Cheap Eats
“Usually when I get an apple fritter, it is as dry as a hockey puck. At The Queen's, it was one of the best fritters I have had in a long time. The second time I went in, I tried the sunflower. That was just a good. Hot or cold americano was smooth and not bitter. Great little coffee and donut place.”
“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.”
“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!”
“The Food and Serve was great and the atmosphere is on point. Coming from a Ohioan.. Love that southernvibe.😉”
“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.”
“PROVINO'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT
BUFORD
The food id delicious. They start you off with a nice mixed salad and garlic rolls.
We enjoy the chicken parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, baked ziti, seafood trio and penne hot.
Our servers are always very polite and professional. They check on you often to refill beverages.
The atmosphere is definitely old school / old world italian. Its somewhat dimly lit with lots of private dining areas. The music is appropriate, the house wine is good and the noise is moderate, as this restaurant is usually pretty busy.
Bringing young children is ok, as long as they remain seated. this is not a place for kids to run around.
This restaurant is handicapped accessible.
Large groups are welcomed. I recommend you make a reservation no matter the size of your party.
Our family highly recommends this restaurant.”

“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.”

“The staff were great. Patient while we tasted a couple of items and explaining the ingredients. The ice cream that I got was delicious and a uniques flavor. Several of the flavors were ones I’d never seen anywhere else. We had a great experience and will definitely stop in again.”

“I tried bb.q Chicken recently and was seriously impressed. We ordered the Galbi Boneless and dumplings, and everything tasted incredibly fresh—you can really tell the food is made with care and not just pulled from the freezer like a lot of places these days.
The flavor on the chicken was amazing: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the galbi sauce was perfect without being too heavy. The dumplings were super good too—crispy, hot, and full of flavor.
On top of that, the hospitality and patience from the staff made the whole experience even better. It actually felt worth paying for the food, which is rare when so many spots serve overpriced, low-quality stuff.
Definitely planning to come back!”
“The boba hotpot was so fun. We had the smaller size and it was enough for 4 ppl. The tea was tasty, and there were plenty of fresh toppings. I recommend the egg pudding topping, boba, mochi, and the oreo. We had fried milk and chicken too, and the chicken was pretty good.”
“We love treating our team with delicious and healthy juices and smoothies from Vitality Bowls in Buford! 🤩👍 They taste so fresh and potent. My favorite is the Intensifier ❤️ The owner Angel is so kind and thoughtful. I would highly recommend trying this lovely gem in our neighborhood. 😀”
“I lived on the West Coast when I was younger and ate at places that aren't represented out here that much, including Whataburger. The new stores are awesome, and so is the food!!! I don't remember the Whataburger of my childhood even tasting this good. For a fast food burger, you ain't getting much better than this. Their boneless wing sauce on the tenders packs some good heat, and their spicy chicken sandwich blows Wendy's out of the water. Go ahead, indulge. The food is good and the service was great..I also got a milkshake cuz I'm an adult, and I do what I want”
“After living in Buford for 24 years we finally have a truly authentic “taste of home” that serves excellent food!
It was our first visit today and we most certainly will be back (probably much more than we should :-)!)
Fish n chips
Bangers n mash
Scotch eggs
We’re all truly excellent and being an expat I should know ;-)
Hope Jim, Megs and their team are here for many years to come…. They absolutely should be based on our visit today!!”
