New American Restaurants near Clarkston, GA

“From out of town okay vibe“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was on a business/personal trip and just stumbled upon it as a quiet classy restaurant. I was very pleased with the flavorful salad offering. Then I was amazed by the best pork chop dinner I've ever tasted. The lemon flavoring was just perfect! I can hardly wait to get back there and introduce my wife and friends to such a fantastic restaurant. To sum it up in one word I would say it was simply magnificent!“

“The restaurant was very inviting and the staff is awesome..Food is very delicious 👍🏿👏🏿❤️❤️“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“Truly an amazing dining experience. Everything from the staff to the cocktails to dinner and dessert were exceptional. Our romantic dinner for two was one we won't soon forget. I highly recommend treating yourself to this wonderful hidden gem.“

“The atmosphere, the delicious breakfast and the excellent service. Faith was our server. So friendly and nice. The background music was good and not too loud 👍 Great experience“

“Sprig is one of my favorite places to wine and dine (and whiskey!) The food is always exceptional and the costumer service is fantastic!“

“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! 😋😋“

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

“Had such an enjoyable time with Bianca. She was incredibly hospitable and made me feel right at home—like I was sitting at my own kitchen table.“

“From the moment we walked in, the energy of the place set the tone for a fantastic evening. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and comfortable, with great music that adds to the experience without overpowering conversation. Every detail, from the lighting to the overall vibe, makes you want to stay awhile.

The food was outstanding—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The drinks were just as impressive, crafted perfectly and thoughtfully paired with the menu. What truly elevated the night, though, was the attentive and friendly service. The staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of from start to finish. Altogether, it’s a spot that delivers not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience.“

“First time for us and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The drinks were amazing and Reginald gave great recommendations and he was attentive. Definitely going back.“

“We had a staff dinner and experienced VV’s cooking class. Rina Moreno was our chef providing guidance on the meal’s preparation and techniques to use in the kitchen. A gun experience, wonderful meal and Ms Moreno was a delightful host and guide. Recommend and we will return.“

“We had an overall good experience at this restaurant. The food was okay. We ordered the whole snapper, salmon, and squid ink pasta. Everything was ok.

After dinner, we informed the server that it was a birthday and asked for a dessert. Unfortunately, the dessert came without any candles or a birthday message, which was disappointing and took away from the moment.

Aside from that, the service and atmosphere were fine, and everything else went well.“

“Food was amazing 😍 Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful — and the service made it even better. Already planning my next visit 🤩🥐☕“

“City Winery is a fantastic venue for a great show and an exciting night out in Atlanta. The wine selection is impressive and pairs perfectly with the live performances, though the pricing is definitely on the higher side. It’s a wonderful spot for a special occasion if you don’t mind a more expensive bill!“

“Food was amazing!!!! Service was great!“

“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“

“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!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ classic • elegant • unique • delicious Atlanta, The Garden Room is the place to be on any night, but weekends are amazing because you get the chance to catch their in house DJ after 9pm. Make a reservation because they are sure to be fully committed. The brilliant and talented individuals that support the service at this upscale lounge are top notch. Jennifer, one of the managers has built an amazing relationship with my spouse and I. Her attention to detail is second to none. She remembers everything that we enjoy, the flavors we love and the food compositions that excite our palate, and she delivers one of a kind specialties. A few items that should land on your bucket list to try include: •I Love Lychee Martini: the best in ATL •Not So French •Love Potion •Fresh Baked focaccia bread served with balsamic vinegar and oils •SQUASH CAPPELLETTI ♥️ Everything on the menu was delicious including the custom Lychee Bon Bon’s that the pastry chef prepared for us in advance because I love Lychee so much. Jennifer scored us a show stopping VIP booth to the DJ. Her knowledge of the lounge and the Michelin Star restaurant “Atlas” next door was impeccable. Please don’t sleep on this lounge and get there as soon as you can.“

“I had a amazing time at 5Church Atlanta. Went for friends birthday. A lot of other Restaurants in Atlanta had horrible 2 hour wait times but this restaurant did not . Great Service. Great Food. Great location. Best restaurant experience I had in years . It’s so nice. Very upscale, classy , urban vibe . We got there early before reservation like 15/20 mins was able to be seated immediately. Waitress got drink orders and menu orders fast . Food came out quickly 15/20 mins . It was delicious and warm. All the food was delicious. Will go again and recommend it . Great restaurant, probably one of best in Atlanta. Prices were affordable $40/60/100 depending on number of people in group and good portions for food , so you can order a few things and split: try a few things on menu . It’s worth money and experience. Me and friend had lamb burger , fries . Other Friend got waffle and chicken .“

“Wow, the food here is delicious, among the best in Atlanta. Definitely in the top 3. I had the pork schnitzel, one of the best dishes I have ever had, the sweet potato puree was a smooth surprise.
Their selection of home brewed beers is also outstanding.
Please come and treat yourself.“

“We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday and even though the food didn't come back quite like some wanted it, we definitely appreciated the server Jamani for assisting our server who seemed a little overwhelmed and the Manager Taylor was awesome! He was great with fixing the issues and making the situation better considering it was a birthday brunch celebration! He & Jamani even sang Happy Birthday with us to her! It ended up being a good time! Thank you guys so much!“

“We were deep in it, man, buried under papers and numbers and the hum of a future house, my wife glowing at seventeen weeks pregnant and me wired tight, scared to look away for a second in case the whole thing slipped through my fingers. Two days into due diligence and my mind was racing miles ahead of my body. Still, we said yes to Banshee. Said yes to friends we hadn’t seen in too long. Said yes to the night.

We walked in, and the place was already moving, already alive, music breathing through the walls, people leaning into each other, and then boom, there’s another close friend we didn’t expect, just standing there like the universe pulled a fast one and winked at us. That’s when I knew we were in the right spot. The kind of right you feel in your chest before you can explain it.

Our friends arrived, and we fell straight into it, stories tumbling out, laughter loud and loose, a little trash talk, a little love, all of it sweating the worry right out of our skin. Hours slipped by unnoticed, four of them gone like smoke, and it felt like time cracked open and let us rest inside it for a while.

The food kept coming, and each bite felt like a small revelation. Frybread slick with pepperoni butter, rich and reckless. Focaccia snapping just right. Duck seared hard and honest. I was full of warmth and noise and light and that deep-down feeling that this was it, that I was right where I was supposed to be, about to be a father, holding my wife’s hand, surrounded by friends, alive in the middle of it all.

Outside, the night grew louder. Bass from nearby bars thumped through the street. Cars flew down Glenwood like they were chasing something. I knew it couldn’t last forever. Nothing does. But before it ended, one of the owners came over smiling and dropped desserts on the table, no charge, just because. That kind of thing sticks with you.

When Banshee leaned fully into the night, and the room turned electric, something in me loosened. The pressure eased. The future didn’t feel so heavy. I felt like maybe, just maybe, I could run this life clean and true.

Thanks, Banshee, for the spark, for the fire, for the reminder to keep going.“

“We dined there last night right before we strolled through the Christmas lights in the gardens. Everything was EXCELLENT especially our server Maya! The food was amazing. Soooo many flavors. Our sons loved their meals ! Our 17yo tried the Duck Confit and ate every bit of it! Maya knew the menu intimately and helped us decide. If you can request Maya, you MUST. She’s a STAR ! We sat outside and it was fine because they have the clear vinyl walls up so it wasn’t too cold. Our reservations were at 5:15 and we walked out dinner off strolling thru the gardens afterwards. Oh! The pumpkin cheesecake was AMAZING!! MAya, thank you for taking such great care of us!“
