“I love the burgers here, particularly the eponymous "brake pad" with fresh jalapeno, cheddar and bacon cooked to temperature (medium rare for me). Nice outdoor seating with a view of the traffic. Not the greatest parking -- parallel park on Rugby or back into Main St on your way out. But it's better for not being the type of place you'd find in a strip mall“
“Called for delivery a gyro with no tomatoes extra white sauce and a order of fries. When I took a bite of the gyro oh my god it's was good juicy and soft hot lamb. I called back and spoke to the manager Luis and turned out he made the gyro I had to order two more. Tasted better than New York gyros for sure.Thanks Luis for awesome customer service and awesome gyros definitely ordering again .“
“Food and drinks were super tasty! Loved the cocktails themed for the currently musical (Six) playing at the Fox Theater down the street, especially the Three, Two, One which the bartender said she recently invented (so neat)! Both bartenders were super friendly and accommodating :) loved and recommend!“
“Muy Delicious!!! Let the aromatic flavors of the perfectly seasoned and grilled chicken carry you away!!! Authentic Latin experience allows your senses to come alive! Add a side of slow cooked beans or fire roasted corn and you have the perfect culinary marriage! Pure happiness in your mouth!! Enjoy!!“
“We have been searching for great Thai food since moving to Atlanta from the DMV. TydeTate Kitchen met that need and more! Such great tasting food and each dish is distinctly different from the other in flavor profile. So very good and amazing customer service. We will be back very soon!“
“So delicious! Came on a Wednesday night and it was pretty full. The restaurant is small and has limited seating, but the atmosphere is cozy. They do have 1hr free parking in a garage, you pay first then use a code. Service was good, there was only one guy working at the front and he was struggling because it was so busy. I feel like there should’ve been at least two people working. The food was soo good. My faves were the lamb cumin noodles and egg and tomato noodles.“
“Another home run for us regarding our dining experience at a mano! This neighborhood gem is definitely our “Cheers”! We brought more friends who had never been to a mano before. Such a wonderful evening thanks to our server, Matt, who was on top of his game so to speak. However, I understand that Matt is always on top of his game! Thanks again to Sasha, Lucy, and Bethany for making us feel incredibly welcome and valued. Our friends said they would definitely be back!“
“No other ice cream shop in Atlanta can touch this one. The absolute best quality, BY A MILE!The people who work here are always nice and kind and that makes it even better. It's not the type of place that you go to check out once. It's the place where you will automatically become a regular.Huge shout-out to Michael Jackson. The world should know about him. Give him his flowers.“
“The food is generally excellent - lots of farm to table and seasonal options. Beer is made on site and top notch, with a few guest taps on rotation as well. Service is always friendly and quick -- nice patio / beer garden area for when the weather is nice. One of the best overall spots in Atlanta for food+drinks.“
“I hosted my Cancerversary and breast cancer survivor’s/ thrivers and support event at Just Add Honey Tea Co this past Saturday and it was amazing. The staff, our “ParTea” host were awesome and knows tea well. We were educated on a tea experience. My guest and I had a great time- laughed, fellowship and shared testimonies. I would recommend this establishment for sure. It’s now my go-to place for self care and zen.“
“From the moment I made my reservation, The Optimist in Atlanta promised a distinctive dining adventure, and oh boy, did they deliver! Steering clear of the usual praise for décor, this review highlights the exceptional aspects that truly make The Optimist a must-visit destination.First off, the service here isn't just good; it's clairvoyant. The staff anticipated needs I didn't know I had, from detailed explanations of dish ingredients to personalized recommendations tailored to my taste preferences. Their timing was impeccable, ensuring a seamless flow from course to course without ever feeling rushed.Now, let’s talk about the culinary journey. The menu, inspired by sea fare, offers a refreshing twist on classic seafood dishes. The smoked oysters are a revelation—served with a mignonette that features a hint of apple, which beautifully complements the smokiness. And the main event, the whole roasted fish, is a masterpiece of simplicity and flavor, showcasing the chef’s deft touch and respect for high-quality ingredients.Not to be outdone, the beverage selection at The Optimist is a treasure chest of delights. The cocktail list is inventive, featuring sea-inspired twists on classic drinks, like the "Saltwater Taffy Old Fashioned," which is as whimsical as it is delicious. The wine list is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the fish dishes to new heights.In summary, The Optimist isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a voyage that delights and surprises with its service, menu creativity, and attention to detail. It’s a place where every visit promises new discoveries, making it clear why this gem is often touted as one of the best seafood experiences in Atlanta.“
“Feel good atmosphere and loved the food and service! Thomas is awesome and so personable which makes you feel like you want to spend all day there. The plantain chips and queso is a delicious twist! My husband and I enjoyed the Cuban and guava cheesecake too! Cuban is one of, if not THE best, we’ve had. We have ventured all over the world and lived in different countries so we aren’t bluffing. We got the Grilled Red Snapper To-Go for my cousin and she said it was amazing! Seems like the type of place where anything you order will be tasty!“
“5/5 stars! I found this coffee shop looking for a place to work while enjoying a different scenery. Amazing friendly service. Great food and Great Coffee. I had a cinnamon roll muffin warmed and a Dirty South (Chai, Espresso, Vanilla with Oatmilk). Delicious! I found my new wfh but not really at home spot.“
“Very tasty tostada!!! Good roasted tomato salsa with thick crispy chips. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food!The setup is outdoors and family friendly with an area for connect 4 and space to play with a ball. It's also dog friendly!Canopies set up with tables and chairs or picnic tables. There are high chairs for little dinners.It's a place for everyone...Order, pay and take your number to your choice of table. The area is set down from the level of the street so kids can run around without getting into traffic too easily.“
“Tried 5 dishes and two desserts: all were good to great. Cocktails were bomb. Super super reasonably priced, which is a fresh air in a big city like ATL for this type of places on the hype side. However guys, blasting eurodance for dinner? One song maybe not a playlist, no one wants to eat listening to scatman.“
“This place is incredible. Came here for dinner when they first opened and it's still consistent with the output of the lunch food.Had the salad - best Caesar salad ever.Had the noodles - legit spicy.Go for lunch and you won't be disappointed.“
“Yes it's that good.I've been to many places around the world and tried a lot of options and that's one of the best ones I ever had !There is a reason why people are waiting in line !I went with very dark and with fluffernutter pie scoops.Both were excellent! The chocolate option was very dense rich and full of flavor. The other one was of a strong peanut butter taste but a very creamy and soft consistency.Recommend !“
“HYGF is amazing! I made sure to visit recently when I was in Atlanta and oh my, they did not disappoint. Expect to wait in line if you go on a weekend like I did. The line starts prior to them opening. They only let a couple people in at a time to ensure a great experience for everyone which I truly appreciate. Everything we tried was perfection. I’ve been GF for 10+ years and I’ll say their biscuit is the real deal- a perfect southern “buttermilk” style biscuit. If you’re on the fence about trying them, GO!“
“Visiting my daughter in midtown. She took me there for lunch. Let me just say the food was unbelievable! So good! The outside patio was just perfect!! The waitress could not have been any sweeter and helpful than she was. Already made plans to go back next time I visit my daughter.“
“Red's is a special place with a magical beer garden and bamboo grove. The owners and staff are always welcoming and kind. The service and the food is delightful. Especially Red's special hot dog with the pimento cheese and fig jam! RUN to Red's today!“
“We loved this place! They have many types of pizza but the gluten free pizza was our absolute favorite. Also love the vintage Pizza Hut decor. The place reminds me of pizzerias in Canada. They have lots of great options which also include things for vegan and gluten free folks.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten freeKid-friendliness: They even have a vintage arcade in the back.“
“Excellent coffee and expresso. We had a lunch with coffee. I had a smoked salmon on a bagel with fruit my colleague had a breakfast sandwich both were delicious and filling. The service was excellent the service was very quick. I will be back.Parking: Parking was easy.“
“Great space with tons of seating and cool area in the trench with lots of shade. Four stars because they don’t have any good non-alcoholic options. They should offer something like kombucha or non-alcoholic beer for individuals who don’t drink. Other than that, awesome spot, would recommend.“
“Great stay at this hotel! The ambience at this hotel fit perfectly for the trip. I would recommend this hotel before any other in downtown Atlanta.Food & drinks: The rooftop bar is amazing with beautiful views. The drinks are strong and decently priced! I found the best bartender, Connor, up here who helped with all my needs and gave me great recommendations for Atlanta and was a kind person to conversate with!“
“The hummus rivals any that I have had in Tel Aviv. In fact, it may be better. Combined with the crispy fresh pita and pickled vegetables, it’s a joy. The Southern Italian is sandwich perfection. The sweet pork with the collards, peppers, and sharp provolone makes for a masterful combination. And that sesame bread. Just go. Trust me.“
“I don’t think I have ever written a restaurant review before but I am compelled this time! The restaurant was nice, the staff was nice, the food and drinks were very good. HOWEVER… I get the bill (my daughter and I split the bill). I was a waitress through college, I always tip 20% or more. My bill had listed the 18% gratuity as $18.72, the 20% gratuity as $20.80 and the 22% gratuity as $22.88… my bill came to $58.37. I take offense to this because the restaurant hired the tips for each by $8, $9 and $10 above the correct tipping amount. This has left me with an eeek feeling about this restaurant and their business practices. So won’t be returning! There are many just as good or better Mexican restaurants out there!“
“First time here and everything was just AMAZING!! The food!!! So tasty!! Everything we got was delicious and arrived to our table super fast! The drinks were good and strong. The service was impeccable…our waitress Isa was so sweet and attentive. Definitely will be coming back…this may be my new fave midtown spot!“
“This was the BEST!! Oh my goodness, and our server Jalissa made our visit that much better. I had the noodle salad, but I did salmon instead of the steak. We also had the brussels, peppers, and the fries appetizers; to be honest, I just don't think anything here is bad. All of the drinks were also super customizable, and super refreshing. It was an amazing stop!“
“We were at City Winery for the MacMacAnally show last night (he was great!). Our waiter was named Andrew, and he did a fantastic job throughout the evening. He anticipated our needs, was very friendly and kind; you just don't see that thing very much these days. We really appreciated him and all of his efforts! Thank you Andrew!!“
“Downstairs service is super slow. They'll give you a few excuses why???. They were clearly more interested in serving the regulars and one of the bar tenders told me that I don't have to only order with her but I could order from anyone behind the bar. But then nobody behind the bar came to ask if I needed anything. Smh.But go upstairs and they'll serve you pretty quickly.“
“Been coming here for years! I love that there is always something new to try - rotating specials, drinks, etc - and sometimes on the weekends the have live music. It feels like you're tucked away in a European cafe, it's one of my favs :)“
“Huge brewery space at Lee & White for hosting events, or just stopping by for a local brew.The menu is solid, especially if you like sours/ipas, but there’s a little of everything!The area is open container, so you can grab a brew an hop right on the Beltline or explore Lee & White further!“
“Loved the pizza at this place! The cheesepizza was quite flavorful and delicious and their ranch is to die for. We also had their homegrown pizza & garlic white pizza which was also pretty flavorful. All slices came piping hot.The service is quick and nice and they have plenty of spots to sit outside and some inside! I highly recommend and I will be back!!Parking is a little hard to find, if you don’t find street parking there is a parking garage that charges $8.50 for two hours of parking.“
“Absolutely fantastic spot! Creative and delectable dishes at surprisingly affordable prices, and delicious craft cocktails served up in an intimate environment. If I have one complaint, it's their seating policy. They don't take reservations and they don't have a hostess, so when you show up, you're competing with others for the next available table. It's...suboptimal. Nonetheless, definitely worth checking this place out. I'll certainly be back, but probably on a week night to avoid fighting fellow patrons for a table.“
“Hey Atlanta! Let's go to Yay Beignet for light and fluffy beignets, Ethiopia’s Finest Gourmet Coffee, and breakfast right on the Beltline! I elevated my beignet experience with their signature strawberry dipping sauces. They also have chocolate. Yay Beignet has a full breakfast menu, lunch and dinner, all made fresh to order. What I tried: : Beignets with Signature strawberry dipping sauce Old School Hot Link Biscuit Breakfast Burrito Yay Beignet, ‘where Bourbon Street meets the Atlanta Beltline’ Yay Beignet : @yay_beignet 660 Irwin St NE, Atlanta, GA 30312 Have you had beignets before?“
“This place is great. It’s in Atlanta. Staple where you can put church choir ropes on when you go. On certain days they have drag and karaoke. When you go on the weekends it’s a great place to dance. They also have picnic tables outside. This is a great place to be casual but also have a great time.“
“Love this place! Bowls are delicious & healthy. You have the option to create your own. The decor is refreshing and airy. Lots of natural light. Great place to catch up with a friend. Staff were all quite friendly.Parking: There is a garage next door for paid parking. But they validate for up to two hours.“
“Come wine down with me at @postinowinecafe They have $6 glasses of wine & $5 pitchers of beer 'til 5PM everyday! Service was excellent! The ambiance and decor was calm and relaxing! GOOD EATS: Bruschetta Board Smoked Salmon & Ricotta Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & MascarponeSweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat CheeseBurrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato Select Two HALF PANINI + SOUP OF THE MOMENT Tuna Melt on Ciabatta w/ a bowl of chicken soup Desserts Hot Donut Dots: housemade donut holes with salted butter chocolate, caramel and vanilla glaze dipping sauces“
“A friend brought me for my first time and it was absolutely amazing. Our server Haileigh was so quick, attentive, and kind. She was also a hoot and a holler to converse with inbetween orders. Lamont came to check on us too and made sure we were comfy cozy and just every staff we interacted with brought a certain je ne sais quio to the environment. The brunch was so good (we got deviled eggs, oysters, and the salmon toast and avocado toast). I HAVE to come back with a big group immediately. Beetlecat brought the vibes yall!“
“I’ve been here once and it was cute. The seating areas are nice. The fried oyster tacos were great. I recommend the Cadillac drink lol I know I probably spelled it in English but you’ll know what I’m talking about when you go lol 10/10“
“Everything was amazing. Not just everything, but EVERYTHING! Server was extremely personable and attentive. We went for happy hour. We ordered all 5 offerings, and they were all delectable! My absolute favorite was the Spanish Grilled Cheese! I can’t wait to come back.Vegetarian options: The patatas bravas and Brussels sprouts were amazing“
“We had Grindhouse Killer Burgers food truck for a neighborhood event today and I highly recommend them!! The food was fantastic! They were easy to work with, super kind, clean and organized! Above and beyond customer service! Just outstanding!!“
“Great lineup of beers. Always fun to see what people are trying to dream up in the craft brew world that can be overstimulating with so many options. You can get your tried and true selections and some wild flavors at Three Taverns. Make sure you stop by!“
“PERC has my heart This location is perfect and has great access to parking both a few spaces for street parking in front and a parking lot behind the building. The space is great with available seating and sufficient plugs to charge. The food was great.. I got the Breakfast Burger and Chai Latte and my friend got the Crunchwrap with the Good Times Latte. We raved about our food!! We will be returning The service was very patient with us while we decided on what to order and quick service! Would 10/10 recommended for a cafe date or to spend some time away from the typical WFH life!“
“Was visiting ATL and our host took us by here. It’s a street side shop and glad we indulged in their delicious smoothies. They also had a soup of the day, that was delicious and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Would definitely recommend you give it a try if you’re ever in town.“
“Love this place. Been here maybe five times since coming to ATL in 2020. Would get here more, but I'm rarely downtown on a weekday, and this place isn't open on weekends. It's mainly to-go, couple tables outside with maybe 10 parking spots (recently paved). You used to order outside, but now you can order inside. They take cards, ApplePay, Wallet etc., but there's a $10 minimum for non-cash. Any combo will get you past that threshold. I've only ever gotten the lamb gyro with fries. Someday I'll try something else, but I like that gyro too much. Meaty, fresh vegetables and a sauce that's just right (not heavy or too runny). The Halal lamb is seared with almost a crust on the outside. Fresh and healthy and not greasy--I don't like those things, and I would not come here repeatedly if that was the case.“
“What a gem! So glad we stumbled onto this brewery. Large indoor outdoor space( can easily accommodate several large groups), dogs aloud in and out... plenty full parking... incredibly staff... board games. What more can you ask for? Food variety is limited to pizza and 2 salads. Amazing drinks! I loved the lavender lemonade! Overall: a fun experience.“
“Great food and drinks. Bourbon slushies and regional cuisine. All delicious. But seating is limited, with close to half of it being outdoors. Parking was a problem as well, as their small lot fills up long before the restaurant does. I had to walk for 5 minutes before and after the meal to where I found a parking spot. Not a big deal on a nice day but on a cold rainy day like the day I was there...it would have been nice to be able to park close by.Parking: Parking was very limited. But there are options in the immediate area. Some more convenient than others.“
“Great for a first time experience! I went with my girlfriend tonight. Jay had phenomenal customer service. He made sure our needs were met & still made room to joke around to ensure we were smiling. AB was very kind & shared similar traits, as well. Great personalities.Great atmosphere.“
“I stopped by this morning and I was greeted by a young man named Million. He was very polite and he provided me with fast service. The iced coffee I was served was one of the best ones I've ever had here. Thank you very much for making my morning!“
