“The employees were super friendly and caring. They got my order perfect and the food was worth it! I had their super gyro. The meat was delicious and the bread was perfect. To top it off, their friends were the perfect balance of crisp and soft with salt. Definitely will come back the next time I'm in GA.“

“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.“

“Aqua Terra never fails.... I used to go there a lot when I was working in Buford. Nice cocktails at the bar before you sit down for the sizzling steaks and garlick mash potatoes, or perfectly seared scallops and pasta, topped with cream brulee, good selection of wines and port. My wife reminds me of her favorite, the lobster bisque. Professional service and live piano music, as per the original owner, Laura's vision.This New Year dinner, I was told that it changed hands but kudos to the new owners, everything was as good... Happy New Year to all...“

“EXTREMELY happy with my visit here, I will absolutely be back. The bathrooms are very large, and if you need the handicapped stall, they are large enough for a seat transfer with their own sink.
The host, Luka, saw us coming and opened the doors for us, and was very pleasant. I could tell from his demeanor that we'd chosen a great restaurant. Our waitress, Sam, was also extremely friendly and very knowledgable about the menu, patient with our indeciveness (So many great options!), and fun to talk to. We ordered lamb, meatballs, rotissere chicken, and lobster bisque, and everything was just exquisite. Despite the size of the building, it's nice and quiet, and they have real candles at the tables. The lighting is a bit dim, but it's a surprisingly cozy atmosphere for how large the space is.“

“Great little spot and very fast service. Got the bacon double cheese burger and it was very, very good! Best part, it was cheaper than some crappy Ronald M burger! Been here twice and it was great both times. Gotta try their breakfast next!“

“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!“

“OMG! If you go ask for Omar. Nice clean cut young man. Been there about week. Excellent Excellent Excellent service. His service tonight for the 5 of us was off the charts. I really believe he read my mind many times, before I could ask for refill, biscuits etc there it was. Just a wonderful experience! Thank you Omar
The food was great as well! :)“

“Their burgers are heavenly. The staff is really nice and the atmosphere is very welcoming🥰“

“NONE OF THE COOKS MAKE THE FOOD LIKE BETH MAKES THE FOOD. SHOUT OUT TO BETH FOR REAL. I got a bowl made by her my last visit, and it was absolutely bangin. I got one today, and it was average. I don’t know how, but Beth got some magic cooking hands.“

“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!“

“They got me to try a plate with their free samples they were handing out. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh everything was! Fast service. You won’t be standing there for more than 5min if you’re in a rush. Unless you’re waiting for a certain item.“

“The best BBQ, brisket, and chicken I’ve had in as many years as I can think. Their slaw and Mac-n-cheese was spot-on as well. Very friendly folks with fast service. Prices are reasonable.“

“10/10 great experience, ask for Alec as a server! Good food, good prices, great service.“

“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 really have seen a change in them in past 3 better service and pretties of waitresses of all. And great relax atmosphere definitely will go there more!“

“I love 💕 37 Main the staff is so friendly and welcoming especially Rob at the door!! The bands are always amazing!! I highly recommend this place for good times and great music!!“

“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!“

“Todo espectacular la comida los cócteles, la atención.“

“We ate dinner tonight after a relaxing day at Spaland. We were waited on a very knowledgeable you man named Tony. My daughter and I sat at a high top in the bar area. He had many reconditions for everything from drinks to desserts. He knew it all. Had a great personality upbeat and fun. We enjoyed out time immensely. The wait staff can make or break someone's dining experience; Tony made it the best. The food was great also.“

“Had a fantastic ladies luncheon with excellent delivery service from Cracker Barrel. The food arrived on time! The order was correct! The food was hot and tasty and enjoyed by all!“

“great food fast,recommended“

“My wife and I really enjoyed Sidney's. It's the fine dining restaurant that accompanies the Legacy Lodge at Lake Lanier. The new head Chef came out and introduced himself after dinner and was very kind and passionate about his kitchen. The food was absolutely splendid. My filet was cooked to perfection all the way through. My wife got a seafood dish with Octopus and Shrimp and she didn't leave a bite. A++“

“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.“

“Yes I love our customers and my co-workers.“

“I can't say enough good things about this place! Everything we ordered was AHHHHHHMAZING! The staff was incredible and it immediately felt like home! We're here for 2 nights and plan to eat here again tomorrow! Yes, it's that good and the atmosphere is wonderful and homey! Plan to eat here if you're in the neighborhood! ❤🤤“

“5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable dining experience at Bullfrogs Bar & Grille, located inside the beautiful Legacy at Lanier Islands Resort. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and incredible service.
We were lucky to be served by Fabi and Steve, who were absolutely phenomenal throughout the evening. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Their service was the perfect combination of professionalism and warmth, they checked on us just the right amount, offered great recommendations, and made sure we were completely satisfied with everything.
We ordered the salmon, and it was truly outstanding perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. You could taste the quality in every bite. The presentation was beautiful, and the portion size was just right. Combined with the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant, it made for a perfect night out.
The setting at Legacy Lanier Islands added to the experience — a beautiful location, relaxing vibes, and the perfect place for a romantic dinner or special occasion.
A big thank you to Fabi and Steve for making our night so special. We left feeling happy, full, and truly cared for. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and we highly recommend Bullfrogs Bar & Grille at Legacy at Lanier Islands Resort to anyone visiting the area. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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?“

“The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. Food is hot and delicious. Love this place!“

“Tonight for Veteran’s Day, I got off work a little late and made it in before you guys closed. I dined at the bar. I don’t recall my servers name but she was the bartender and the guy there with her. These were two of the most pleasant servers I’ve ever experienced. Their conversation was amazing and much needed after a long day at work.
When I left, I thanked them both for taking me so late and wished them well. These two are gems. I appreciate this type of customer service. Thank you 🙏🏾“

“Great service, great food and extremely fair prices, not to mention the drinks are really good! We go thee 3-4 times a week. I highly recommend it!“

“I eat at this Waffle House 3 to 4 times a week. All of the staff is awesome: Candy, Preston, Jessica, Jackie always are attentive and check with me regularly. (I drink a lot of coffee) Food is great also“

“This was my first time at Tavern won’t be the last. Best Rasta Pasta I have ever had and couldn’t decide between the salmon or chicken so I got both. It was so flavorful, i had to get a to go order as well! Starr is an amazing chef and Babe gave me great customer service and awesome cocktails. Try the Port of Envy. 5 stars from me🔥“

“First time there. I had a location near me in Lawrenceville that closed a couple of years ago😔 The atmosphere and service here was terrific. The food was good...not quite as good as the one that use to be near me but definitely worth experiencing. I would recommend them to anyone in the area.“

“The food truck and the crew did absolutely fantastic. They were early. Everyone commented how good it was. The lines were short. The pager system worked great for our set up. the booking process was very professional.“

“Their food was great. the fact they delivered to the campsite was wonderful.
We had fish and fries and fish tacos both were perfect. we also got chicken fingers and they were good also. We had been to the restaurant just for a drink before today and the service and atmosphere were fabulous. Sitting outside looking at the water.“

“Very good food only thing I would say is their wings need to get bigger . Gave us more than enough fries, but their wings. You need to get a little bit bigger… super great people. very fast at getting the order out very nice and patient but their wings need to get bigger.“

“muy buen servicio, hay variedad de comida 😉“

“We prefer this location because of the service and food for weekends breakfast. The staff is quite friendly and the food is very good. Sometimes it can be loud but you can s There is a gentleman cleaning up tables on weekend mornings that’s amazing. This place would be at a loss if he leaves. Such a hard worker. till carry on a conversation.“

“Our waitress Ashley was absolutely 💯 fabulous. We had a large party with 3 birthdays and she got all orders out quickly birthday songs sang loudly and she made sure to address any dietary issues or allergies. Excellent customer service all around.“

“D. R. U. G. S. all the workers were on drugs....3 or 4 females including the manager were strung out on meth during my visit yesterday. (I'm guessing the substance obviously, but my guess seems logical) They threatened to call the police for asking the manager's name! This Buford Ga location has really gone downhill and it's a shame!“
