“Good eats! We would come again.“

“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. The stuff helped in a gorgeous style, the meals were very good and my guests were so cheerful. We shall surely return for more celebrations. Thank you very much.“

“1st time here and the atmosphere was kinda scary looking, wouldn’t want to be alone at night But the food didn’t disappoint, everything was delicious, nice size portions, No waiting, and the guy behind the counter was very welcoming .. I really appreciate Good food and good service these days. Thanks 😊“

“From out of town okay vibe“

“The restaurant was a nice vibe, great service and the food was excellent.“

“Great food, cocktails, & atmosphere“

“As always, the service and ambiance were exceptional. The steak frites was so so, but didn't seem freshly prepared. Perhaps like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while before coming out, as the gravy began to coagulate. Otherwise a perfect experience.“

“If I had to sum my experience up in one word, it would be Astonishing. From the Pre-Arrival to the departure, everything about The Southern Gentleman (TSG) was amazing. Deciding to take my sistie out for her birthday, TSG appeared in my Yelp search results. Exploring the images and the reviews that appeared I decided to checkout the website. After falling in love with the menu it was a green light. I clicked the link to make a reservation and was taken to Open Table. The process itself was simple, easy, and to the point. Once it was booked I was able to send the info to all those in my party as they could add it to their calendars. As we decided to go on a Saturday at 2:15 pm, I called TSG the day before to ensure that when they closed at 3:00 pm we wouldn’t have to leave. As I anticipated, since we would be inside already, we didn’t have to depart while they switched over from brunch to lunch/dinner. The young lady who answered the phone was super pleasant, very vibrant, and understood my question. She provided first call resolution and further enhanced my excitement to experience TSG. Can you tell it was my first time? LoL!!! Finally Saturday was upon us and it was time to go. As TSG sits in the area with all the shops, parking wasn’t the easiest on the street, however, there is a valet option. TSG sits on the upper level so needless to say I was lost for a few minutes. 😂😂😂😂😂 Walking up to the restaurant, the scenery is gorgeous and the ambiance is immediately set. Beautiful clean lines, white drapes, open patio, glass front, I’m talking all of that and more. The space is infectious and truly draws you in. I opened the door and was greeted by a hostess with a huge smile and pleasant demeanor. She welcomed me in and asked how many. Once I provided her my name she showed us to our seats and the TSG experience was in full go mode. Taking a moment to get settled in our booth and take in the great artwork, eye-catching bar, and beautiful hardwood floors. I told y’all, astonishing. Mykieya approached our table and I was instantly amazed. Her smile, her warm introduction, her service first approach to taking our drink order, whew! Mykieya understands the art of providing stellar service which led to my astonishing experience. Ok. Now! Hear me out. We have gone through the Pre-Arrival - Awesome. I just brought you on my journey of arriving - Awesome. By this time I am on a Happy Service High and I haven’t even ordered yet. Speaking of ordering… Babeeeeeeeeeee!!! Hear ye, Hear ye! As if the service wasn’t enough, the nerve of management to hire a chef that literally knocked EVERY SINGLE DISH OUT OF THE PARK!!!!! I’m talking flavor, texture, blends and soul pleasing moments of pure bliss. Whew! Let’s talk food: For Appetizers, Mac & Cheese - Cheesy, Flavorful, Perfectly Done, WELL above any restaurant made Mac I have ever had. A truly homestyle, grandmother made experience. 🤤 Chocolate Chip Banana Bread - This secret dish was spot on. Sweet with notes of Savory and all moments of soft baked, well crafted goodness. 🤤 Deviled Eggs - OhEmGeeeeee. The Deviled portion (LoL) of these eggs was thick, creamy, well blended, well seasoned, and then… as if I wasn’t already in love. The gall of the chef to top it with crumbles of perfectly crisp baconnnnnnnnn. 🤤 Mj Drink, Sweet Tea - Hunni, the brew was Brewin and this tea hit the spot. Sweet. Southern. Stirred. Very Delicious. Very Demoure. My Main Dish, Southern Fried Chicken - 🤦🏿‍♂️ Why did I order this???? This dish stole my entire heart. The pancake tasted like my mother was in back showing off with that cast iron skillet. Crispy edges, soft middle, thick, and huge. This pancake was a showstopper all by itself. However, hold on because in comes the Maple Syrup. Whoa! The syrup was thin and rich. The thinness of it allowed the pancake to soak it up even better. Forget the fact that the chicken was well seasoned, well battered, golden fried, southern seasoned, and best of all… The Bombbbbbbbbbbbbbb. Yes! Forget all that as the pancake had and still (4 days l“

“I really enjoyed saints and council. It’s a beautiful addition to colony square and the restaurant is very beautiful with a calming atmosphere. The food and drinks were amazing and our server King did a phenomenal job and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10!“

“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. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“The best meal I have ever had in Atlanta. Banshee, you blew me away. The food was incredibly unique and curated with such care. The dishes were so delicious and had so much flavor that I ate every single thing on the plates. The atmosphere is very nice and would be great for a date night or a group of friends/family. I will definitely be returning!!!!!“

“Enjoy Festive atmosphere during holiday season. Classy cocktails and good food.“

“Dominique was our waitress and was so knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and made great recommendations. Food was amazing, it had good flavor and steaks were very tender. The only thing that didn’t make sense is the dress code considering one hostess has visible tattoos (girl power) and another one had on a midriff-shirt.“

“My first time at Lazy Dog was a treat!! The staff was very friendly and Frank especially was so great to my party & I, making sure we were okay & had everything we needed! Truly was a great experience thanks to Frank and we appreciate the professionalism & kindness! Will be back!“

“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!“

“The bbq shrimp is amazing! There wasn’t anything left on anyone’s plate! Service is always stellar!“

“11/10 Would recommend. The staff was amazing and friendly! Great pricing, great food. I was here for work, and I didn’t even bother going anywhere else. I will definitely come back when in the Atlanta/Buckhead area!“

“fantastic food, great service and faster than "fast food"“

“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.“

“The Best all around! Food, atmosphere, service, all The Best!“

“Start your finish the Cherokee Rose impressed us - beautiful presentation, tasty food, atmosphere, jazz music and great staff“

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

“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!“

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

“The best experience, food, and service I’ve received in Atlanta. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and genuinely well thought out and fun menu. Finally something non-generic I don’t feel like I could make at home. Cam took great care of us.“

“We live about 30 minutes away so we don't make it in as frequently as we'd like, but every time we go, everything is fantastic! All the staff is super polite and friendly and the food is excellent. We love eating at the bar when lucky enough to grab seats there and Derek is great too. Great ambiance. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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 🫶🏾“

“I just had brunch here on Sunday & Sophia was our server. She knew the menu very well, and was extremely attentive! The sushi tots took a little longer than expected, so she assured us those would be taken care of. Not long after, the manager stopped at our table to also apologize for the delay. This kind of attention to detail is what we love about dinning here. The extra mile is what matters the most! Can't wait to come back & dine in the Sunroom again! : ) Thank you Sophia!“

“Big fan of Flower Child (both in Sandy Springs & Around Lenox)! Healthy, great tasting, quality food...awesome selection. Also, shout out to Felipe (Tuesday Mngr Sandy Springs) was SO kind and helpful - above & beyond - and also Tina - Thank you for your care & kindness!“

“Our favorite neighborhood restaurant continues to astounds us with their delicious food and attentive service. Daniel always stops by to see how we are doing, William treated us to a taste of one of our favorite dishes, mussels, which will be off the menu soon. Alex is the BEST waiter, biggest smile, always attentive. Loved the complimentary house lemoncello at the end of meal!“

“Wonderful experience highly recommend“

“@fia_atlanta is more than the restaurant located in Buckhead’s @theburgesshotel; it celebrates Mediterranean cuisine featuring wood-fire grilled specialties. Fia is open daily for breakfast and dinner and has a cozy, intimate atmosphere where you feel like you are among friends, due in part to the stellar customer service. The food is some of the best in Atlanta! My favorite dishes include the Butternut Squash Soup, Jumbo Asparagus, and Pork Belly. I found Mr. B's Burger good but not craveable given the price point.“

“Great customer service, love the wings and the desserts are delicious.“

“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.“

“Just a great place to get together and have an amazing time.“

“City Winery Atlanta is an exceptional venue for music lovers, especially for those who appreciate an intimate setting for live performances. The layout allows for close proximity to the stage, so you can truly connect with your favorite artist.“

“Hattie B’s is famous for its Nashville-style hot chicken, and after trying it for myself, I can see why it has such a loyal following. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, and while it packed more heat than I typically go for, I have to admit—it was incredibly juicy and full of flavor. The spice didn’t just burn; it had depth, which made each bite a mix of pain and pleasure (in the best way possible).

To balance things out, I also ordered a side of chicken, and this was where Hattie B’s really won me over. The crispy, golden-brown skin had the perfect crunch, and the seasoning was on point—flavorful without being overwhelming. If you’re someone who loves spice but doesn’t want to go overboard, I’d probably recommend going a step down from “spicy” on the heat scale.

Overall, Hattie B’s delivered on flavor, texture, and quality. If you can handle the heat, the spicy sandwich is worth a try, but the perfectly crisp chicken on the side might just steal the show. Would I go back? Absolutely—though next time, I might play it a little safer on the spice level!“

“I love this place. Great food, atmosphere and a great wine list. I am from Michigan and I keep coming back when I am in town.“

“We have been to Joey Ds many times . The food is consistently good. The service is usually excellent . Not this time Our server was just not engaged . Despite very clear guidance, he didn't get the order right. He didn't refill our water ask if we wanted another round of drinks . He didn't ask how our food was ,didn't clear our table when we were done or ask if we wanted desert. It put a negative feel on our experience.“
