“We have been going to JDs for 25+ years, as frequently as once a week up until about a year or two ago. It was slowly declining in service, food (good but not great) and atmosphere and there are so many new places to enjoy in that regard. We stopped in on 4/13/2024 for lunch while in the area running errands. It was clear from the greeting, the cleanliness of the bar and the new wait staff and uniforms that something shifted! The place felt like it had been given new life. Everyone was polite and professional. The waitstaff checked the occupied tables regularly and ensured unoccupied tables were up to snuff. We had great service at the bar, the food was delicious like it had been in the past, and the atmosphere just felt better, cleaner and like someone cared! We're glad they did and we wanted to say we noticed! Thank you to all the staff that day and to Hunter, our bartender/waiter. Keep up the great work - we're looking forward to our next visit!“
“Very good and nicely presented food (Hamburger and Thai salad), but we look forward to exploring the offerings further before giving 5 stars. Enjoyed it enough that we will return. Lovely ambience and inspired decor; perfect mix of an upscale pub and diner. We did find it expensive for casual dining.“
“One of the bartenders, Alana was incredible! You don’t see service like that anymore. She went above and beyond and made incredible drinks. We went in for my mom’s birthday and had the most incredible experience which ended up being the highlight of the night. I will always come back to atlas when I’m in town now because of how we were treated. Thank you Alana for going above beyond!“
“I love Casi Cielo. The service is always great, and the food and drinks are amazing. Every time I have a friend or relative visit from out of town, I bring them here and then, the next time they visit, they always ask to go to Casi Cielo. The owners have something special going here and you can tell they have done an excellent job training their team. We had another amazing time!“
“Great experience! Shawn and China are the best! Shawn made sure our food was to our liking and he delivered service with a smile. China was so personable and engaging really made it a wonderful experience for us! Definitely returning! FYI WHEN YOU COME HERE, YOU GOTTA TRY THE CALAMARI, BEST IN THE CITY!“
“Nice Friday night chill spot. Popped in for drinks and a vibe. The calamari was good; the drinks were better. We had a table but my folks wanted to socialize. I’d recommend sitting at the bar for that. I wish they played some smooth sexy music to add to the vibe. I recommend this spot!“
“The entrance to the restaurant was a lovely introduction because the scenery was good. It had ample space and was in a shopping center.The food was amazing, I ordered the Won Ton soup, mango chicken (not spicy; can be ordered that way) and it came with rice. To finalize my meal, I had a mango slushie. As I smelled the bowl as it came, it was wonderful to the nose and as it was time to dig in, It was great. It was steaming and the food was complimentary to my sides and none of the flavors was battling each other. You will enjoy each spoonful of this soup, In addition, mango chicken had green peppers and mango which tasted sweet. Mango Slushie lacked flavor but it still was decent.Service was great, and she was consistent and checked in with us. She was very respectful and was always there.Atmosphere could use some work, but it was clean and vibrant. Only thing that was needed was some good music with some good food, and maybe thats me being extra but all in all, it was a great sight to see. Restrooms was clean and visible spot for people to see.Parking was plentiful, and underneath La Parilla as stated in the google search!“
“Okiboru is a wonderful gem in Atlanta located near Piedmont hospital. Not only is the service exceptional each time, the food tastes delicious! I have yet to try the tsukemen but have tried all the ramen broths. Each broth has a unique flavor catering towards different taste preferences! As for the sides, would highly recommend the shoyu brussels, ebi karage, and garlic nori fries. Okibiru has strategic floor plan that easily caters for larger parties, couples, and solo diners. Even on a weekend eating by myself I’ve never felt rushed or brushed aside. I love Okiboru and will be back with friends and family many times again in the future!“
“First time I’ve ever had Persian food and it was delicious! The atmosphere is lovely-upscale, very busy and tables close but the sound is never intrusive and you can talk without shouting. What a feat! Staff are wonderful and so helpful! Thank you for such a wonderful experience tonight! !“
“Way to go. A colleague recommended this place for my anniversary. We had an amazing, beautiful server Jahde, (I think that’s the spelling). Her recommendations and service were impeccable. Money well-spent. We shall return. Thank you, Zakia, great Lebanese food!“

“Wow! Best burger in Roswell!! What a find to try this new location on Holcomb Bridge Road!! Great food and incredible service and a really complete menu. Tuesday is also “Steak Night!” Look for Snooks in the Kroger shopping center! You won’t be disappointed!!! 5 Stars!!!“
“Service was exceptional, drinks were exceptional, and staff knowledge was next level. Decor of the restaurant was a 1920's speakeasy theme. Very nice leather couches, muted lighting, tasteful music Playlist.Our bartender, Lionel, made a wonderful brandy cobbler cocktail as well as an excellent gin fizz. Our "cigar girl", Maria, answered all of my annoying questions about cigars. She guided me to a wonderful choice. Thank you team at Red Phone Booth!“
“My favorite Thai restaurant in all of Atlanta. Staff is friendly. The curry is like butter, it is so delicious. Red Curry has a great kick, but still has built a wonderful flavor profile. The vegetables in the curry are fresh and crisp. The ginger dressing on the salad is also top notch. Very much a fan!“
“This is my favorite place to go for live music on a Sat night. The performers are fabulous and the vibe of the place is cool. The food is good as well as a nice selection of wines and coffee drinks. The owner, Sophie, makes you feel welcome. Ground and Pound is more than a coffee house it’s a cool lil club. LOVE IT!!“
“The tour was amazing! Henry was so knowledgeable and the welcome cocktail was absolutely delicious.The space is beautiful, and I love how each bottle features art inspired by the spirit. We enjoyed the tasting and I bought a bottle of the peach vodka to take home.I will definitely be back!“
“The food was spectacular and the service was exceptional. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Natasha, was super friendly and did a superb job!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. You won’t be disappointed!!“
“Beautiful restaurant! Went here for the first time today at lunch and Ally was AMAZING!! I have a food allergy and she went above and beyond to help me get exactly what I wanted without any negative interactions with my food allergies. Not a long wait time for food and very attentive service. I will absolutely return next time I am in crabapple and I recommend this place. The nachos were out of this world!!! Huge portions for lunch, too.Dietary restrictions: If you are allergic to nightshades, you can get the fried rice with black beans instead of the usual rice that comes on the side.“
“I booked with Y3S for a corporate event this past week. I have booked so many dinners, events, luncheons, etc. over the years here in Atlanta, and I have never had an experience better than this one. Sure the venue is undeniably fun, but it is the people that made the difference. We didn't want to leave because the staff was so amazing, caring, and went above and beyond for us! There was not an order tall enough that the waiters, servers, and management did not take on full-heartedly. We absolutely will be coming back.“
“This restaurant has it all, friendly and helpful staff, creative cocktails, delicious food and an upscale atmosphere. It is perfect for after work cocktails or dinner with friends. I had the Stacked Surf N Turf. Delicious! Highly recommend!“
“Matheus was THE best server. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The food was all delicious. Our group will all definitely be back to eat here again.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian app selection was amazing and the vegetable kebabs were delicious“
“The tower of power burger is an absolute banger! It is juicy and flavorful and I substituted caramelized onions with bacon instead and it was really amazing. A MUST TRY ?. The garlic Parmesan fries on the side were good but not great I would say. They have wide variety of dips and I really liked sriracha mayo with the burger and fries.The VIETNAMESE WINGS were just fireeee? loved the basil flavor and as the waiter mentioned it takes a lot of time for these wings so you better order them first if you’re ordering multiple things.The service was good but they’re only 2 for the whole restaurant so it took quite some time for asking anything else. But overall it is a MUST TRY ?? . I and my wife loved the food and the experience. Will be back sometime again to try the rest of the menu“
“Returned to Chelo on Easter & had our first look at their new brunch menu. We were very happy that all rice options were available to order since the wraps came with fries - & they were very good fries too. There are entrees as well that fill out the abbreviated menu & include a side of eggs. My salmon-potato patty was delicious. Chicken wrap & Salmon wrap looked good with the fish getting two thumbs up & friend's chicken wrap was made better by an addition of harissa that was requested as a side add on condiment that we had to ask for a number of times before it was delivered- no biggie, but when delicious desserts came well before our requested coffees, we wondered, what was up with that. We eventually determined that the coffee service is something that is handled by only certain employees so that is probably why there was a wait. Chelo has a nice little deck out back for al fresco dining & the inside ambience is as nice during the day as it is at night.“
“Here is an unoriginal take; Secreto is the perfect name of this place because it is the best kept secret in Brookhaven. I have literally never had a bad meal here and the "Community Hour" menu is such an incredible value that it is borderline criminal. The chef is super creative and the specials are always on point, the only "problem" is that the regular menu is ALSO always on point so it can be hard to decide what to get! Big shoutout to our favorite server there, Brittany. She always takes tremendous care of us.“
“Had a dinner party for 8 at YEBO to host the Black Employee Resource Group during our work retreat. I tried to RSVP 4 days in advance for 10 but I was deterred by the requirement to pre-pay $65 a head minimum. I ended up booking the day of for 6 and adding the other 2 people. The experience was outstanding and I would have no reservations pre-paying in the future. The food was delicious, the service was warm and friendly, and the ambiance was intimate but lively.“
“We love to bring friends here because our waiter Luie is just great and everyone else is so pleasant.You can visit with other diners here as is the European Tradition. We visit 1 or 2 times per month.Parking: Only one valet but he is very efficient and quite pleasant“
“We love Kaiser's. Always a great experience. We hadn't been in about a year, and was so happy to remember how fantastic the food is, and the menu choices are perfect. Our waiter was attentive, the cocktails were fantastic, and they have a good wine list. We will keep going back.“
“An amazing experience with decor that makes you immediately say 'ah'. The service was great, as were the food, drinks and atmosphere. We loved the beef curry crepes, Brussel sprouts and I personally ordered the most delicious Caesar salad with shrimp with crispy chickpeas. Please make this a destination when you are in the Avalon area, and I promise, you will be glad you came. BTW, we did make dinner reservations.Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu too“
“Great food-actually amazing! Lots of variety and everything we had was delicious. Chef Karl puts together a beautiful and delicious plate. Everything we had was fabulous-appetizers and main plate. Service was great, attentive and helpful . We will be back!“
“3/29/24 I had dinner on the outdoor patio and enjoyed a delicious hamburger with friends. My wallet fell out of my pocket onto the ground and I didn't notice it was missing till I got home. I drove back and one of the staff informed me my wallet was safe at the front register. Wow! Not even the cash was missing. The honest staff at Hopdaddy have renewed my faith in humanity. Thank You“
“First time here …lunch with 4 friends. We all had salads which were nice size and tasty. Loved the atmosphere and service was good. Loved they offered mimosas and you can pick your “flavors” which came in a separate craft so you can add the amount you want. We will be back!“
“For me, they really need better chairs or cushioned chairs. Those hard wooden chairs cause you to slide around when wearing slacks or dress clothing. Other than that, the experience was delightful. The food is always great but we rarely dine in due to the seats.“
“I visited for the first time today. The food and service was absolutely amazing! I had the french toast and my friend had the crab toast. The ceiling in the bar area is breathtaking! I highly recommend this restaurant and definitely will be returning.“
“Cozy intimate restaurant with a nice central bar and good decor. Noise level was okay even at full capacity.The food was okay, steak tartare and fried chicken salad the highlight. The short ribs were served cold and the greens were too salty.Our waiter was extremely inexperienced, he didn’t budge at my comment about the greens being too salty, interrupted us while still eating to ask about desserts and forgot to bring the fried tomatoes.“
“The espresso martini and old fashioned are OUT of this world! I love how when you shake the espresso martini over ice in a shaker it actually froths up. Ive bought these for a girls brunch and all my girlfriends thought I had actually made them from scratch! They were a big hit and the alcohol content doesnt play around either! My other favorites are the margarita, cosmo and south side! All natural ingredients and real lime juice plus, no artificial sugars or aspertame!“
“The Battery is the place to be when you want to walk around & enjoy a few drinks from Fat Tuesday’s! I ordered Mango the Stallion first, with an extra shot. It was good! I normally don’t like sweet drinks, but it was delicious! I ordered the F.T.K a few hours later. It was good as well. The vibe was on point! The music was hittin & the staff was lit! Everyone from the staff to the customers were dancing. That’s my type of vibe! I definitely recommend! I will be back!“
“Stopped by after work for happy hour with my friend, specifically for oysters during my Oysters Series @Queenfully_EatsThe raw oysters were only $1 & they were good. Their chargrilled oysters were a different story. Pimento& Jalapeños: definitely not my favorite, the spice overpowered the oyster. Bacon, butter & parmesan: no bacon for me, just parmesan and butter, not my fav!The cream cheese, spinach & panko was the ⭐️ of THIS show. I don’t know WHO thought of adding cream cheese to an oyster, but i like it!??Parking: You can find free parking in the back by the brewery“
“The Ashford: A Local Gem. Nestled in the heart of Brookhaven, The Ashford is a quintessential neighborhood haunt that beckons patrons back time and time again. The standout offering? James's cosmopolitan cocktail. They're simply unbeatable, crafted with precision and flair! The Ashford promises an unforgettable experience with every sip.“
“Alina, Stephenna, & Abigail, & Jenna are absolutley amazingggg!!! Service was great! Beautiful and friendly girls. I had such a great Sunday! Djs were great! Eggs Benedict was phenomenal. Bottomless mimosas were delicious. All around great experience!!Parking: Valet parking available!“
“People! This place is just so good!Chill music to enjoy a perfect brunch!Food… OMG… let me tell you… you have to try the sweet potatoes with fried chicken ??And the drinks?! Just asked! They have the perfect one for you!100% recommended.“
“Pretty good breakfast spot with some must-try specialty dishes, like Shrimp & Grits and Bravocado Toast. I usually go for a specialty pancake with bacon or sausage. The coffee is like jet fuel, so go easy on it if you're caffeine sensitive.“
“So my husband and I went out for the night in Alpharetta and stumbled across this place. The sign is not big and the entrance is down an alleyway so it felt like a cool secret. Up to the 5th floor we went and had a drink at the bar. What a cool experience. The bartenders quickly greeted us and actually introduced us to the whole bar staff. The drinks were amazing. The food looked really good but we had dinner plans elsewhere. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would totally come back. Apparently they're under new management and I can see it's going well as we had a fantastic experience. Can't wait to come back.“
“Visited for the first time this weekend - very cool place, the bathroom is hidden behind bookcase! The drinks were great and we loved trying the O4D flight! Our group of 4 got two flights and 4 cocktails to split - about 25-30$/head. Only minus 1 star because it opened a little over an hour late. A small line of people were standing outside around noon, we joined a couple of minutes after, and around 12:15 we all gave up and walked to Biggerstaff down the street. We came back around 1:30 or a couple before and they were just opening up then. Worth the wait but could be tough if it’s common and you’re trying to go right at opening.“
“Great breakfast spot, the food is tasty, I really enjoyed my eggs Benedict. Service is fast, you won't be rushed out of this place, take your time , enjoy your food, and tip the amazing staff. I want wait for the next time I am around this “
“Won’t lie I wasn’t a huge fan of Superica. I preferred Little Reys over them however, After yesterday they have won my business and I would definitely go back. Me and my partner split the Parrilla deluxe and split it. It brings 3 brochetas shrimp, with steak, cooked to your preference and chicken. I got my steak medium well but would probably go for well done next time because I don’t like the fatty part of steak. It was good and the food came out very hot. (my Picture doesn’t it justice but you can see the steam from the food.) it comes with guacamole, sour cream, charro beans, and cheese you can also pick corn or flour tortillas. We picked both tried both and very good. The flour tortillas are huge compared to the corn. Definitely a good amount of food for two people We also had 3 different cocktails. I personally recommend the Highwayman if you want something good but strong. I also had the Ginger Margarita and the Jalapeño Margarita. I would rather drink here than any other place in the battery. My only recommendation is we would a bigger sized portion of sides such as guac, sour cream, etc.“
“Great new place - that already feels like it's been there forever. Service wasn't perfect (forgot a couple of things that we had ordered), but it was a very busy Saturday night, and the waiter was very friendly and apologetic... And the food and beverages were excellent!“

“The flight of 5 was reasonably priced and all of the sampled spirits were quite nice. The lady behind the bar was friendly and the service fast.I had to order cheese and crackers both separately. So I ordered some cheese and some sea salt crackers. They both arrived still fully packaged and sealed, I then had to open them myself and arrange in some fashion onto a paddle. I'm talking a massive slice of cheese.1) Too much cheese for one person.2) Don't be lazy, open it up and present it nicely.3) I would have appreciated a mixed plate of more variety and less quantity.Great spirits on offer, the food side needs some work.I would visit again if they manage to expand the options on food, I'm not exactly sure what my tip was for... Slap a block of cheese, a box of crackers and a knife on a paddle... Yeah it left me wondering too.“
“Boga is a gem right there in Norcross. Plenty of parking, easily accessible. Let's star with the drinks, had a Pina Collada that was ?, they don't short you on the alcohol. Tried a couple of other ones too, all of them were great.Had a chicken breast which came with what I thought was the best mashed potatoe ever until I was told it was mashed Yuka. The menu is very diverse so I need to come back to try some of the other treats.Heard this place is lit lit on the weekends at night so that's another reason to come back soon. Met the owner Tito, great guy and the staff was on point with everything. If you have a chance to visit Boga Latin Cuisine, don't miss the opportunity.“
“I have been coming to Genki for years. The food is still incredible and the ambiance is getting better! A lot of renovations have happened and the place looks great! Very warm and welcoming just like the staff. They also have great lunch specials and awesome deals throughout the week for us people on a budgetVegetarian options: There are a couple options for vegetarian rolls, appetizers, bowls, soups, and saladsDietary restrictions: There are soy paper options for rolls also the miso can be used as a broth instead of the chicken and beef broth. They work around seafood allergies as wellParking: There is a parking garage behind with a lot of parking available.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals come with ice cream! And kids eat free on Sunday with the purchase of an entree! Plus there’s live fish in giant fish tanks! Kids can enjoy watching them being fed around 8pmWheelchair accessibility: There are handicap spots in the back where there is also a guest entry“
“The restaurant was clean. The atmosphere was bright and sunny. Lots of windows. We sat inside but, we were by the window and could still see the golf course. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.I had the Bobby Jones cocktail. It was refreshing, the lemon really set it off (I had three). The crab hush puppies were delicious.The seafood capellini had fantastic flavor. A little too heavy on the butter, but really good. I’d still order it again.The strawberry rhubarb was tart, I wouldn’t get it again.Overall, it was delightful experience and I will definitely go there again.“
“The is yet another hidden gem in the new chic foodie scene of Dunwoody. The sky views of the cities corporate offices makes you feel like you are in Manhattan at an upscale grown and sexy club. The drinks were really colorful and tasty and the staff was super pleasant and accommodating. It’s walking distance to anyone in the Perimeter area and we will definitely be back during the fall weather to enjoy some drinks on their balcony with an amazing view of America’s tallest suburban twin towers, the King and Queen buildings.“
