“Been going here for years now! Even though the owner hve change but the food is the same and I mean great!! No complaints at all here. For less than $10.00 you will be full and be able to take some home. Try this spot, they hve some great food there, I wouldn't lie to you.“

“Friendly staff, great food. Neighborhood kind of place. Someone posted a complaint that the place was too loud, with music and TV sports happening simultaneously, which was a little startling to read. I order take out from there occasionally, but its a bar, for Christ's sake! People drinking, eating and unwinding after a hard day. If that displeases you, go to McDonald's. Some folks have nothing nice to say, but unfortunately, they say it anyway.“

“I celebrated my PhD earlier this evening in this excellent restaurant. happy to tell that we enjoyed a magnificent evening and the venue was definitely one of the reasons for that fruitful gathering.

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away.

“Dining at Atlas in Atlanta was, without a doubt, the most extraordinary culinary experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but nothing has compared to this. What made this evening so unforgettable wasn’t just the masterfully crafted dishes (which were phenomenal), but the people who brought the experience to life. Chef Money and his incredible team, including Maxwell, Julian, and many others, showed a level of hospitality and genuine kindness that I have never encountered in fine dining. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel not just welcome, but truly cared for. And the food. Every single bite was absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a perfect blend of artistry, flavor, and emotion. You could feel the heart behind every plate. From the first amuse to the final bite of dessert, I found myself completely immersed in the flavors. Every course built upon the last, creating a seamless, delicious journey I didn’t want to end. This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a beautifully orchestrated experience filled with warmth, creativity, and connection. Chef Money and his team have created something truly special at Atlas. I left feeling full, grateful, and honestly in awe of what I had just experienced. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. I cannot wait to return.“

“This place does not disappoint! Large portions, delicious food and great prices. I hope they stay in business for a long time! It's a great alternative if you need a great meal and don't want typical fast food.“

“Outstanding food! Must do the chef’s tasting experience at least once. The food and service are equally outstanding! This restaurant is one of the BEST in Atlanta! 😋😋“

“Came here to kick off my best friends bachelorette and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing, Frannie was our server and she was excellent even took the time to memorize all of our names. We all ordered different plates so that we could share and try everything and every single thing we ordered was delicious. The duck deserves an honorable mention, it was cooked to literal perfection. The cocktails were delicious as well. Atmosphere was very neat. We will definitely be back!“

“July 05, 2025 Greetings, This evening, I had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion, my partner and I chose to dine at a fine dining establishment in downtown Atlanta. Regrettably, after we visited your downtown Atlanta location, it became clear that my hope for an outstanding dining experience was unlikely to be met. Upon our arrival, we had to wait despite having made a reservation several hours earlier. Eventually, we were seated at a table no larger than a nightstand. I immediately observed that, unlike the other tables, the candle on ours was unlit. This should have served as an indication of the service to follow. Once seated, we were presented with the menu and asked for two sweet teas. Soon after, we placed our orders. After waiting twenty minutes, we realized that our drinks had been forgotten. We subsequently reminded our waitress that we had ordered two sweet iced teas. After an additional ten minutes, our drinks arrived. Fifteen minutes later, our food finally arrived. Upon its arrival, I noticed a sticky substance around the $75 steak I had ordered. After considerable effort to cut into it, I tasted the meat and found it to be overcooked—its flavor reminiscent of a meal unintentionally left on the grill by an intoxicated cook. It was unsatisfactory, and I requested a remake. At this point, we had spent over an hour at your restaurant, and the staff began cleaning up. Finally, around 12:05 a.m., the re-cooked steak was brought out. Although it was an improvement over the first, it still did not merit the price of $75. Given that my potatoes were cold and the minimal ice in my refilled iced tea had melted, I opted to forgo the steak altogether. My partner, who is more willing to accept mediocre service, encouraged me to take the steak back to the hotel, which led us to request a to-go box. Ten minutes later, we received a small cardboard box, barely big enough for my food. Further, we were not offered anything to carry the sauce in, utensils, or even a bag. Shortly after, we received our bill, which totaled approximately $195.00, excluding gratuity. At that moment, I was overwhelmed with emotion and informed my partner that I needed a few minutes outside to collect my thoughts. I found it challenging to rationalize $200 for a meal arguably valued at $20 and customer service worth $10. Despite my objections, my partner insisted on refraining from discussing this matter with a manager. He wanted to avoid any conflict on my birthday. While I appreciate his noble intentions, I possess a strong aversion to inequality in any form. The treatment we received in an establishment that professes luxury and exemplary customer service was inadequate and perhaps a sign of your treatment towards Minority LGBT customers. We deserved a better experience. Although my birthday weekend was great, this experience was horrible. I am genuinely disappointed with my visit to your Atlanta location. I would have had a more satisfying experience at a more casual establishment, such as Texas Roadhouse, for a fraction of the costû. Sincerely, Gregory A. Reid Jr. Brandon F. Williams“

“Very easy order ...and pick up ... yummy yummy food !! Thank you !!!“

“We really enjoyed dinner tonight for our date night! See you all again soon“

“This place is out of this world fantastic. The pastrami is near perfect. We dined for brunch and tried piled high pastrami, the general breakfast with schmaltz potatoes, deviled eggs, and pastrami and grits. We also had coffee and egg cream. We finished off brunch with a round of desert: cheesecake, coffee cake, and chocolate cake. Everything was so good from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food and I can’t wait to go back here.“

“I would highly recommend BoccaLupo. We thoroughly enjoyed everything from the drinks, appetizers, entrees, veggies, and desserts. Very different drink and food menu adds to this top notch restaurant. All servers are very knowledgeable in the menu and daily taste specials. Also, they make excellent recommendations if u ask. I was impressed when they changed silverware after each course. Classy! Top it off with homemade pasta and your tastebuds will thank you. We will be back!!!“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“Wonderful lunch date. The cocktails were lovely and the food great. We also really enjoyed the cheese board and dessert. Will definitely return!“

“5Church was a beautiful location and the food was great. Service overall had room for improvement. Our waiter was very slow in servicing us, and I believe his shift ended, or his break started, in the middle of our dining. We had to wait a long time for someone else to wrap us up.

We also had a strange experience with valet. We pulled into valet around 2:45-2:50. Before we ordered our food, the valet came in said his shift was ending, and gave us our keys. He seemed to expect a tip and I gave him a small one, but I was miffed by that. To top it off, our car was unlocked the entire time.

Overall, I would go back again while in the area, but I hope for better service all around.“

“This was an excellent dining experience. The service, food, and ambiance was spectacular. So delicious 😋 I“

“My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening and meal! Great food! Great Atmosphere! Will definitely be back!!!“

“This was our family's first time dining at Joey D's and we loved every moment. We made reservations and arrived a little early and were sat at a table immediately. Our server Steven was amazing! He provided great food and drink recommendations and checked on us frequently to make sure we were ok. The food was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Everything from the appetizers, salads, entrees, and dessert was excellent. The portions were plentiful and it looked like we hadn't even put a dent in our meal. For the portions and quality the prices are well worth it. We've already decided that Joey Das will be a monthly visit from here on out. Thanks for making our family dinner great.“

“Great atmosphere and even better musicians!!!! My Monday nights will now consist of Ten ATL!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Shiann at Twin Peaks, and I can't say enough about the incredible experience! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Her extensive knowledge of the drink menu helped us pick out some fantastic cocktails, each one perfectly crafted and delicious. What really stood out was Shiann's attention to detail and her genuine interest in making sure we had a great time. She checked in on us regularly, ensuring our drinks were topped off and that we were enjoying our meal. It was clear that she has a passion for her job and really takes pride in providing excellent service. Not to mention she’s very easy on the eyes 🫶🏾“

“Okay, I'm a huge Flower Child Fan! If you care about what you eat, look no further. Flower Child offers healthy options that taste delicious! Love their wraps (GF available) as well as their Protein + Pick 2 sides... Highly recommend. Thank you to the awesome managers & team at both Sandy Springs & Around Lenox. *Felipe, you and Tina were so kind and caring when my order took a long time last week. I'll be back thanks to your caring customer service.“

“Rashaad gave our large group of twenty people excellent service, food was great & drinks delicious!“

“Arrival: Woke up craving beignets & mimosas on 3/12/23 so a quick google search & I stopped here for brunch on my way out of Atlanta. Dead end drinks on a dead end street ? Lol love it. The atmosphere was welcoming and warm. I sat at the bar first but then decided that I wanted to write so I asked to move to somewhere with a bit more space and they were happy to accommodate me. I sat upstairs and the view was just what I needed. (Very comfortable chairs as well!) The Food: Mimosa .. 10/10 Side hash with peppers & onions .. 10/10 Seasoned well and the veggies taste fresh and were cooked perfectly. I will get extra onions & peppers next time though. Side of Turkey bacon .. 10/10 Beignets .. 8/10 Though I wasn’t expecting an authentic taste, it did have more of a donut flavor. Wasn’t bad though! Overall experience: Wonderful! Affordable menu. Nice staff. Cool atmosphere. Can’t wait to return when I visit the city again. I’ll definitely be stopping back by to sit upstairs in my now favorite writing spot & for a cocktail or two. Perfect way of ending my trip ✨“

“The service was superb and the food came out quickly. The food was delicious. We enjoyed three dips, meatballs, the chicken entree, the hamburger, and the salmon. All fantastic with lots of flavor. Will return.“
