“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!“

“Had a great breakfast 2 eggs fried bologna biscuits and gravy. Then had to try a cheese burger I read about Wow! Best cheese burger I've had in a long time.
Hand packed patty flat top pressed, american cheese, crinkle pickle slices, diced white onions with ketchup and mustard on lightly toasted bun that's it. No salad on this beauty for me. A+“

I particularly love the Polynesian chilli mango bowl, and my husband loves the Chipotle mango avocado bowl. The staff here is also very friendly.“

“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.“

Vegetarian options: There could be a full meal for vegetarians

Kid-friendliness: Very kind and good with kids and no bad words“

“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!“

“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 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!!“

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

“The food is always amazing“

“It was very busy so we sat at the community table.But was fun talking to others and the food was great! We will be going back! 😃“

“Shoutout to our server, Mandy B for crushing it this evening. She was swamped with tables outside with little help, but she still kept a smile on her face and stayed on top of things.

This was my first time dining there. The food was really good and food pricing was very reasonable, but the cocktail prices are insanely high (my one mixed drink was 17.50 and not worth it). However, I would dine there again—just without cocktails next time.“

“This is truly a hidden gem! I went around 8pm before the rush and the customer service was absolutely amazing! I was serviced by Taylor and was very attentive and had amazing energy! If you’re ever in the area check them out and ask for Taylor!“

“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!“

Nina gets it right every time! This location is great and their latest public health score is 100. Who could ask for more?“

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

“This place has delicious chicken tenders! I love this place and go here to celebrate things. The chicken tenders are big, juicy, and perfectly cooked with spicing. They have great chicken wraps, as we always get them when we come. I highly recommend going here if you want to celebrate something or if you are craving anything from chicken to steak! The waiters are fast and kind, it is never too packed with people, and the place is nice and clean. I love and will continue to go to this place!“

“the best thing about this restaurant is a waitress named bethany lol! its also immaculately clean and run by the best manager and district manager“

“Me and my son ate here prior to seeing a movie.
I had the royal ed robin burger it was really good and cooked perfectly like I requested. My son had the kids meal pepperoni pizza on the pizza a detail that we didn't know was they before cooking add a rosemary seasoning/sauce that gives it a flavor that he didn't like but the manager was awesome and offered to remake the pizza without the rosemary season sauce. Overall good experience and would eat there again if at the mall.“

“We had a very great and wonderful experience with Chef Brian
He made us a very special meal, wonderful dishes. He is so educated and kind.
The pasta is amazing even better than in Italy.
Great mood and atmosphere!
It’s been a long time since I had the same experience to have the very best Italian food nearby the lake in Georgia!“

“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.“

“service was very slow food was good“

“Amazing experience!!! Not only are you on Lake Lanier but you get to experience great food. The food is well seasoned and the menu has a lot to offer.

When you go here and want to sit at the bar, ASK FOR HUNTER. He’s friendly but he has tons of experience in the kitchen as well as the bar. Your drinks will be made with love and you won’t regret it, seriously.

Great place!!!“

“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“

“Celebrated my sons birthday here. Great experience and took my entire team of Concrete Professionals.“

“wonderful experience... gave the cook a $20 tip!!!“

“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.“

“Right off the dock, this restaurant has super friendly staff, good beer and great fish dishes. Tried the tacos and enjoyed a lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps available for those needing them. Restaurant on flat ground.“

“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.“

“First time at this location and it was okay.

Erica at the bar was sweet and she makes some bomb drinks. My buffalo shrimp was delicious and hot. I never received my fries but did look at my receipt until the next day and realized I paid for food I never got.

I had to ask a lady that was working at the bar prior to getting Erica to clean the nasty table/counter top (that was clearly dirty). BUT overall it was a good time.

I’m sure I’ll be back since it’s in walking distance to my friend.“

“Our small group has met here several times per month for years and we always have the best service! Food is consistently good, they have several specials that are a great value, and plenty of choices on the menu. Will definitely keep coming back!“

“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!“

“muy buen servicio, hay variedad de comida 😉“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Steak ’n Shake never disappoints! I ordered two Single with Cheese combos, and it was absolutely perfect. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and made fresh to order—just the right size to satisfy without being too heavy. The famous fries were golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned (honestly addictive), and the root beer was ice-cold and refreshing, the ideal finishing touch. Everything hit the spot. Great service, quick turnaround, and a nostalgic diner vibe that keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!“
