“Second visit, nice place, good old fashioneds, but something went wrong with my fish and chips. The best way to describe it would be..."Tasty fish filets wrapped in soggy pancake batter." Mentioned it to our server, no solution forthcoming. We were in a hurry so I let it slide that time but never again.“

“Good spot, just like a typical wings place in Georgia! The best part is the variety on the menu, I feel like they have more options to choose from than other regular places. The location is packed every time I go to get my pickup orders, but the customer service is always fast and efficient.“

“Highly recommend Amazing Wings in Stone Mountain! I've never felt so welcomed at a fast food restaurant. They are always genuinely happy we're here! Food is amazing and the wings are easily 500 times bigger than places like American Deli. 35 wings flavors and also have fish, Philly, shrimp, gyro, burgers...“

“Delicious as always. Waffle House is always a stable and steady place for breakfast. This was our first time at this one. We came on a Sunday morning. It was busy (but that’s expected). We waited about 10 minutes for a table.
The customer service was awesome! Our waitress was efficient and incredibly friendly. Food came out quick and hot!“

“We had a Great time at The Brandon Davis show last night!! 1st time there, cool venue! I read online before we came that people could order in food, bring in food, but Not drinks. I saw many many people bringing in drinks. I think the rules should be enforced that they do not allow drinks to be brought in !! that’s how the bartender makes his money. ( who was also great BTW) That was just tacky of people !!! It wasn’t just the ones that brought a drink from the restaurant, people literally had drinks in yetis. Great Venue, Great show!“

“Great service & amazing food“

“My boyfriend and I just ate here for the first time today. We live an hour away and wanted to try something new since we were in the area. The food was AMAZING! We had edamame for an appetizer, my boyfriend had a mushroom quesadilla and I had a delicious Buffalo shrimp salad. Only disappointment was the service from the bartender. We had to ask if we could order, we had to ask for refills, and she never did a check back on the food; so we had to ask for her attention about a question I had concerning my salad dressing. Other customers sitting down had to do the same for service. This was all because she was on her tablet reading. So anytime we interrupted her it was because she was reading from her tablet. This was a disappointment but will try again because of the food quality and nice atmosphere.“

“Listen I don’t live on this side of town but my son’s father recommended this place and man did they deliver. The tacos were amazing and that sauce OMG gotta get a squeeze bottle of that. Then my Philly and wings were a hit as well…10/10 definitely recommend“

“It’s like Cheers! Everyone knows your name! Friendly staff! Greet beer! Good food! They take care of ya! LMHS Class of 88 😎“

“All in all great place for an end of day go home and eat day. I enjoyed my food had enough for next day. Owner is hands on, appears to value her employees and they were friendly and willing to assist all customers. Dressed neat and clean very good showing. The location was very tidy and a great place to also eat in if desired.“

“Food was cooked fresh and hot restaurant was clean and the air was fresh to breathe and the bathroom was clean and fresh. You know we say the first impression is a lasting one and it was my first time there and definitely won’t be my last.???????????? ❣️❣️❣️“

“Amazing customer service- above and beyond! We were in town from out of state and Per her recommendation we met here for dinner. After a long day of site seeing with the family I wasn’t feeling 100%. The staff took great care of me! Packaged up my food, gave me supplies to make it back to our cabin 1.5 hours away and went above and beyond. Everyone else enjoyed the food and said it was excellent (mine was the next day). We will definitely be going back when in town again.“

“You pretty much can't get lobster tails cooked to perfection, and the seafood family A1“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Breakfast & Brunch Spot with Fresh, Creative Dishes!
​Holding a strong 4.3-star rating, this First Watch in Decatur is a fantastic go-to destination for anyone looking for a high-quality breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
​The menu does an incredible job of blending classic morning staples with unique, health-minded options. Reviewers consistently praise items like the Million Dollar Bacon, fresh avocado toast, heavy-hitting omelets, and seasonal juices. Everything is beautifully presented, full of flavor, and made with notably fresh ingredients.
​The restaurant itself offers a bright, clean, and modern atmosphere that is perfect for starting your day or meeting up with friends. Because it's a popular neighborhood spot, it can get quite busy on weekend mornings, but the service is routinely described as friendly, attentive, and efficient at managing the crowd. It's a reliable and delicious staple for a great daytime dining experience!“

“Where to start? What a delightful evening and meal. The waiter, to start with, was amazingly attentive and kept up with us the entire evening. Also the owner came over and filled us in on the recent history. Liquor license is in now but I don't drink so that was not important. Let me segue to the food. OMG, the mushroom and goat cheese fondue with tomato jam was to die for. It was served in a cast iron skillet with plenty of toast. The sauce was so rich and creamy. To keep this under an hour and a half reading let me say my bride's steak was perfect along with the brussel sprouts and kale. Let me tell you about the pork chop. I like my pork chops to be medium rare if possible and it was perfectly pink inside. I try my best to get that look and I always overcome them. The sweet potato puree asking with the brussel sprouts was outstanding. The portions were very generous and couldn't ask anything better for a Monday night meal. OK, then there was the bread pudding. Oh, Lord, when I tasted the whiskey I almost fell in the floor. So, let me say to the people who has a bad time at the restaurant that they are hitting on all cylinders. I can understand a Karen or two that have nothing better to do than be haters, especially after the opening of the restaurants after COVID. I get it. Why not try to come back and give it another chance. They deserve it and you could use a good meal to chill out.“

“Had to stay here for an extended period due to family member being in the hospital (hint, ask the desk for the hospital rate if that’s why you’re there, it may be a better rate than the one you can get online—not always though). Only one of us would come shower/nap while the other was at the hospital so didn’t spend a lot of time in the room but when there, the bed was comfortable and the lights were good. Has a fridge which is helpful. Since it’s too hot to run outside in Atlanta, the gym was nice to have as a back up. It had weights, cardio and a machine. The room was quiet. Parking is in an underground garage attached to the hotel. Be aware of the spaces, they are narrow and have pillars that make navigation challenging. Someone hit my rental car in the lot and didn’t leave their information. Parking is $10/d. Lots of food within walking distance. Only 2.5mi from Emory Hospital. Thankful to Quentin who was helpful as we had to keep extending our stay.“
