“First experience here ever very eye opening experience here tonight. I went in slightly tipsy and was literally given the worst service I've ever received in my entire almost 37 yrs of life. walked up to a familiar face and realized he was cut off. not sure of whatever happened prior to me walking in- started trying to joke with the bartender about awe why? just being in a playful mood because I just had a drink at home because I had a terrible day and my brother wanted to be nice and try to cheer me up by bringing me out for a drink. The bartender immediately shut down me down and gave me and immediate attitude I continued to try to get him to lighten up but his mood just kept getting worse. He however brought me my vodka and cranberry I ordered- I asked him why he was having a bad day and why he hated his job so much? just trying to get him to chill out- still extremely rude. A few more words were exchanged none of which were friendly he ripped said drink from my hand and asked me to leave however at one point because of said terrible day and him just being a dick and maybe a touch of the alcohol I did start to tear up and he just stood there with a cocky look on his face-laughing- whatever cool. However before I left I found out it was the owner. Steve Durkee- little miserable looking fella. Not sure why someone so miserable would be in such a personable career role.. you own a bar but have never dealt with someone drunk having a bad day? Bartenders are usually friendly and aim to make people feel better not like complete trash. Possible career change sooner than later, hopefully?“

“After several calls to Rock City Garden (no direct number to cafe), I wanted to check on this location for an anniversary lunch. I was given restaurant hours which included Monday’s. I was reluctantly transferred to cafe for other questions. Interestingly, the chef answered my call responding cafe was closed on Monday’s. Only light hor-d’oeuvre’s served on Monday’s which Rock City Gardens (how convenient when selling $50+ park passes) failed to disclose. The chef was strange up with help (5*’s); not so much with RCG’s. So Beware what’s lurking behind a phone call! Wish there was a way to Cafe 7 without going through a garden, particularly Rock City Garden.“

“New restaurant here in town..waited a cpl months for the crowds to thin, and picked an afternoon to avoid major meal periods..server's still got some new to the game jitters, but food was great, all was still shiny and new and staff was friendly.

“Great experience in fort Oglethorpe Georgia!!“

“I was doordashing, stopped in to pick up the order, never been to this location before. The manager was at the door and politely opened the door for me and automatically greeted me and was so sweet! He could read me quick and showed me where to pick up the order and really impressed me. If I had not already gotten a new job I would have asked for his name and let him know I would apply. I would work for him in a Heart beat! When complimenting to another worker she seemed very proud of her manager and was very happy to hear my review. That told me this man knows how to run a business, how to treat his employees and still be amazing! Keep up the awesome work!!“

“Let me just start by saying Catherine took care of me and she DEFINITELY deserves a raise!!! From the moment I walked in the door, she was so kind and friendly.
I drove all the way across town during rush hour and was so worried that I wouldn’t make it before closing time. I explained to her that it was my birthday (and that I’m also 6 months pregnant), and I’ve been thinking about getting me some donuts alllll day long. She was so nice and took care of me with a smile on her face! Again, give Catherine a raise!!!! She is so deserving!“

The service was also a bit slow but my food was hot and delicious. I’ll take the slower service for good food.“
