“We had brunch there on Easter Sunday it was very busy. The waiter did not refresh our drinks my friend waited so long we were done by the time he noticed us flagging him down. The coffee was cold by this time. I would go back on a Holiday but I would revisit another day. I believe even though we made reservations and was called the day before to confirm its was just too many people and not enough staff to accommodate us efficiently.“

“They helped us pull off a birthday celebration from out of state. Rachel, their event manager was SO VERY HELPFUL and communicated often with me. She went above and beyond to make this a special, and beautiful occasion for our mom's 80th birthday party. I was able to ship decorations, and she had them ready for us. All of our guests raved about the private room and the delicious food. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Aqua Terra Bistro. 5 PLUS STARS“

My group of 5 had a variety of items but the Royal Rooster chicken sandwich, fried green tomatoes, corned beef, chicken Cuban and firecracker shrimp were amazing! I personally had the Royal Rooster which was seasoned well and had a nice level of spice with the habanero sauce. I will definitely be going back!“

“I don't usually write reviews, but I have to give The Dawg House a huge shout out.I've visited this establishment a fair amount of times since the beginning of 2023, and I can say every time I've visited I've gotten hot delicious food, served by the loveliest and kindest people, and have been surrounded by other customers who are having a great time. I tend to get carry out because the place can be a little loud and cramped, but that's a byproduct of running a good business with plenty of return customers.The dining room is kept clean, the veggies are always fresh, the portion sizes are generous and the prices are the definition of fair. They have a nice variety of sodas at the fountain, including Jarritos and Cheerwine, as well as great sweet tea.They have a pretty vast menu but from what I've tried over the year, you can't go wrong with any of it. If you're on the fence, the Double Bark Burger or ANYTHING with their fried shrimp are certified home runs.If you're on a lunch break I would consider calling in your order ahead, they cook everything fresh and their level of attention to detail deserves a few more minutes of patience. By no means are they slow, but they're not slinging food out of the kitchen like a fast food joint.Give this place a shot, you'll be back before you know it. Bring your appetite, and bring a friend. This local legend deserves all the support it can earn.“

From the moment we entered, we felt genuinely welcomed and valued as guests. It was particularly impressive to see Chuck take the time to personally greet us at our table, a gesture that truly set the tone for our dining experience.Mary's attentive and courteous service further enhanced our visit. She was prompt, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to accommodate our preferences. Throughout the meal, Mary ensured we had everything we needed, always with a warm and friendly demeanor.As for the food, we were thoroughly impressed. The lobster tail with sweet potato and seasoned rice was cooked to perfection—tender and flavorful. The full rack of baby back ribs was equally delicious, with the meat falling off the bone and the barbecue sauce complementing it beautifully.Overall, our evening at Longhorn Steakhouse,Mall of Georgia location was memorable not only for the excellent food but also for the exceptional hospitality provided by Mary and Chuck. Their genuine warmth and professionalism made us feel like valued guests, and we look forward to returning soon. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.Anyone who comes to eat here should please ask for Mary.“

My steak was cooked to perfection just like I ordered (medium rare) and it melted in my mouth and the brisket was tender and very tasty as well. The staff and the manager made us feel right at home.

“This is the closest one to me. Food and service are constantly good. I usually get lucky and miss the crowd. This morning, the grits and gravy were on point, the coffee wash fresh brewed and there was some Conway on the jukebox. I remember back when they didn’t have biscuit and gravy. But I don’t remember ever having a more “Waffle House” morning. 10/10 IYKYKParking: It’s an easy back on 985 north and south. Like I said before, I don’t u turn at the light. I come up from behind the gas station and Burger King.Kid-friendliness: I see kids every time I’m in there and I always have mine. When I was young getting to sit at the high bar and watch the cooks was something special.Wheelchair accessibility: If I was wheelchairing it, I would turn at the light and again right before the neighborhood. Come from behind the gas station and Burger King. Pull a little past and back in to your spot. Tap on the glass as you take the curb cut and the hostess will come help with the doors. The two low bar sections (2 top & 4 top) are where I would aim to sit. Don’t be afraid to ask, everyone is super sweet but they can’t read minds.“

“I love seeing live music here. I've seen many bands over the last 20 years in Buford. The last 3 bands I have seen there were amazing for the first half of the show. But during the second half the sound from the speakers became super distorted. I don't know if this is an issue with sound system or the sound man. I will say that it is super disappointing. At the Depeche Mode cover band, the guy behind me mentioned the distorted sound first, so I am not the only one who noticed. I am reluctant to return. I hope someone loooks into the issue.“

“Came in while grocery shopping ? ?. We have been talking about not being able to find a good milkshake spot for a while and finally decided to give them a try. The strawberry milkshake was really good. I had the cookies and cream and it was plain Jane. We both had the signature burger ? (I had the single and hubby had the double). The burger was OK. It was bland but the veggies were fresh, especially the onions, it took over the taste of anything else on the burger. The fries were not too salty so that was good but again not much flavor to speak of. It was good for a quick bite. It didn't fill us up too much that we couldn't finish shopping. Would come back for the shake and possibly try a different sandwich.“

“Ok, so I'm new to this city & I'm a bit nocturnal yet an introvert... ??‍♀️??‍♀️ ikr.I popped out late night (on a Tuesday morning; Thirsty Turtle was closed, although the map said open until 2 a.m. ) & this place was still a good vibe. Security wasn't very friendly ? @ 1rst impressions but:" I like the bar tender" (in my T-Pain's voice) ? her name is: " Dee" she gave us a warm welcome & made my favorite ? (yall already know) Tequila Sunrise.Security was so bland he threw me off. (he almost made you lose money)I was supposed to order a double shot, but she made it so good that I thought it was. The place is small but clean & sexy. I didn't get a chance to try the food but I will next time. I don't like crowds, so it was perfect for the purpose at the last minute.I'll be back. I hope Ms. Dee is there.If you want friendly service even though they've been working hard all day, go see Ms. Dee for that night cap! ❤️??I ❤️ Tequila!?“

“Great dinner with family and grandkids. Restaurant has a great view of the Gwinnett Striper's field, though they were not playing the day we were there. I suspect that had a game been being played, we would not have been seated immediately, ?My grandson, who plays baseball, was just ecstatic about the view and potential to see a game there. The service was very, very good. The food was hot and cooked to perfection to me. Had they not had a small mix up in the order, I would easily have given them a 5 star, but instead give the 4.75 rating. Considering we literally live less than 2 miles away, I can guarantee we will be back. Thank you for taking such good care of my family, they were all extremely pleased with the establishment.Kid-friendliness: If you have kids who love baseball, take them here. There are also large screen TVs everywhere, with viewing regardless of where you sit.“
