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.“

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

“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!“

“I was in town to celebrate my mothers 98 birthday this week! They were so wonderful making her feel special! The card, sign on the table , the celebratory dessert - so nice- a special touch! Food was delicious as usual! Daniel from the bar area was our waiter and even though he was busy- he was super attentive! Thank you! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area!“

“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“

“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.“

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

The Crab hush puppies and burgers are definitely a hit the salmon dip need seasoning but the drinks were perfect !“

“The Argosy has consistently great food and a fantastic tap list. It's a huge part of East Atlanta Village and a gourmand's dream.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“It’s a great change from your typical chain restaurants.“

“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.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 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 .“

“We evacuated FL due to the hurricane this past week and found Marlow's yesterday. Today was the second time in two days we were here. The food is wonderful, everyone is super nice. So far everything has been delicious. Our first waiter yesterday was great, and then tonight was just fantastic. Our waiter was Dan. He was super personable and attentive. My entire family loved him. Great job. We will definitely be back.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta! Just hosted an engagement party in their private room through the Spirited Event Group. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience great. And of course the food and drinks were amazing.“

“I love to eat at Longleaf when we visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Great atmosphere and very nice menu. A bit pricey, but the quality of ingredients is excellent. Today we started with the salmon spread with baked crackers which was very tasty. I had the Blue Crab Pear Salad which actually had peaches instead of pears but that wasn't a problem. I often order this same dish. Also enjoyed a glass of chardonnay. My husband ordered the cheeseburger without cheese and it came out with cheese. It did take a while to bring the correct burger out, but my husband said it was very good. I can attest to the fries-very good.“

“100% Love this place. Fresh food all the time.“

“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!“

“Food is fantastic, service is great. My favorites the grilled artichoke, Smoked Salmon, Lamb chops, Steaks and every salad is delicious. I must try the burgers I hear they are highly recommended. What huge selection of wines too.“

“@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.“

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

“2nd Visit: Aug 2024 AMAZING. Food, Service, and Staff. It rained, but that did not stop or prevent the stellar experience! Very glad to have returned.“

“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! 😋😋“

“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!“
