New American Restaurants near Ellenwood, GA

“Food was amazing. My lady and I got wings. They made them exactly how we like them. WnB Factory is a few doors down and I am glad I gave this place a try instead. They even weren't stingy with making my wings extra wet. So much sauce 😋 We will be back.“

“Ordered potatoe salad, cabbage, got mac and cheese. Very disappointed. No more order by delivery..“

“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.“

“If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience in the Lee + White district, Boxcar is on a completely different level than anything else in the immediate area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food, the drinks, and the atmosphere are unmatched, but what truly elevated our night was the impeccable service.

✨️ A massive shoutout to our server, Adrian. The light that shines from her personality is so incredibly bright and warm! She was extraordinarily personable while remaining completely professional. She gave us fantastic recommendations, provided flawless service, and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of and truly enjoying our time. She was an absolute joy and a huge reason why our experience was so memorable.

🏆 The leadership here clearly sets the tone for that amazing service. Dwayne, the manager, is a fantastic leader who knows how to engage with customers and run a happy, cohesive team that creates a genuinely positive atmosphere.

🍲 As for the menu, the chef is an absolute genius. I had the seasonal Miso Crunch Grain Bowl, and it was everything you want a dish to be: healthy, filling, perfectly balanced, and packed with a serious depth of flavor.

🍸 And, the cocktails! Oscar, the savant mixologist who designs the drink menu, has truly outdone himself with unique, creative, and balanced flavors. Boxcar has an excellent craft beer menu, but you must try their cocktails as well because they are divine.

🍹Kristi, our bartender, crafted them to absolute perfection. Do yourself a favor and order the Toasted Coconut Margarita, it is literally a tropical island getaway in a glass.🤪

Boxcar is doing everything right. Exceptional food, brilliant drinks, and a phenomenal team. I loved every minute of it and will definitely be back!“

“Diners like this restaurant's flavorful, creative, and seasonal farm-to-table dishes, especially the fry bread with pepperoni butter, and highlight the excellent cocktails and wine selection. They also mention the friendly, attentive staff and the upbeat, inviting atmosphere.“

“Absolutely Fabulous. The layering of flavors made each bite a special adventure to savored.“

“I come here all the time but normally during night shift. Today was my first time coming in the daytime and I will never make that mistake again. Food is great I literally just wanted a side of greens but the cook during the daytime barely put any greens in the side sized box and I asked them if you could at least put a scoop more but I was told to pay again. Now what I’m used to is night shift they always fill it up to the brim for me. I will come back but never in the daytime again. I will note before I even paid I wanted to clarify if there was different sizes for greens because that all I came for I really love them plus they’re made with no meat, and I the lady with blonde locs said no and I said okay I just said can you make sure he fills it up at least she said sure. But when I saw the food I was disappointed and cause it wasn’t even filled up half way and I paid 7 dollars. I ate it because that’s what I came for but I’m highly dissatisfied this was the first time I ever been disappointed with them. But I still encourage you to go support the business they’re great people but I just will never come in the day time I again, because at least when I come at night I’m greeted when I come in.“

“Nice atmosphere!! Great neighborhood pub!“

“My fellow traveler and I stopped by on our way home to Virginia. It was a long day of travel, delayed flights, we just wanted to sit down and chill. We didn’t expect much out of an airport restaurant… But we were both blown away. Our server, Tarvis, was charming, professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional. The BLT with bacon jam, and the rice pudding with cinnamon and peaches was superb. (I could’ve eaten a whole jar of the bacon jam.) Tarvis, thank you for making two weary travelers leave your restaurant with pep in their step Keep on shining your light. And to any traveler who is leery of a place that serves a hamburger and a sushi roll… Fear not. This place is great.“

“We ordered takeout and got the half rack of ribs, and they were incredible. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. I especially loved the fresh-made tortillas that come with the ribs, along with the pickled peppers and pickles. Everything tasted fresh and well thought out.

The potato salad was phenomenal while still being a simple, classic potato salad with pickles, which I really appreciated. We also tried the mac and cheese, and it was simple but very tasty.

Overall, a great takeout experience and definitely something we’ll be coming back for.“

“Great neighborhood hangout with good food and drinks.“

“Beautiful food and friendly service.“

“Restaurant 356 offered an amazing experience. The atmosphere was mind blowing to be able to experience the full Porsche scene. To see the Porsche track with cars driving was so exciting. I will definitely visit and bring my family and friends for a once in a lifetime visit.“

“Went for the first time today and let me say it was a whole vibe, I’m just sad to say this place is right near my house and I just stumbled upon it today. The food was top notch, the music was great and the service was fantastic. I will definitely be back. Five stars ⭐️ loved it!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Social Capitol shortly after its opening, and I must say—it’s already operating like a well-loved local favorite.

The staff greeted me so kindly, helped me with menu suggestions, and checked up on me just enough; being attentive without ever being intrusive. It’s clear that hospitality is a top priority here.

The food? Exceptional. I had the breakfast sandwich with a side of potatoes and a parfait. Both dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for a light bite or something hearty, the menu offers a well-balanced variety of items.

What really tied the experience together was the ambiance. The space is wonderfully designed. It’s sophisticated and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time at either dining, chatting, or working on your own thing.

Social Capitol hit everything on the nail - from excellent service and top-tier food, to a relaxing vibe. I’ll definitely be back—and bringing friends.“

“While in the area we were looking for a local restaurant and not a big chain. Boy we hit the jackpot with Sonny's. The food was amazing. We all ordered something different and taste tested each. Everything was wonderful. The service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly. Would definitely recommend. If your ever in or near Jonesboro, GA.“

“I love love love their Mix’D Up burger!! The patty is grilled to perfection. It’s flavorful, juicy and reminiscent of a burger cooked by your favorite uncle at the family barbecue/cookout. And along with the fries that are thinly cut and salty. OMG!! So good! I definitely recommend.“

“Called& ordered my food. Guy was friendly& we cracked jokes over the phone about my name. When I got there. Food was almost ready & I was able to get the drinks & take them to the car. As soon as I went back in, for was done. Food was hot, cooked perfectly & love the option to add more seasoning. Will be back.“

“The food is always hot and fresh. Simple walk thru and select. Very friendly and fresh food.“

“I absolutely love Octopus Bar. The vibe is effortlessly cool—dim, cozy, and a little edgy in the best way, perfect for a late-night spot or a relaxed evening with friends.

The oysters are super fresh and definitely a highlight. Pairing them with their wine selection made the whole experience even better—they have a really thoughtful list that complements the food beautifully.

Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-executed, with that perfect balance of creative and comforting. You can really tell they care about both the ingredients and the experience.

Overall, such a great place for good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I'm always wanting them lemon pepper wings! Got me a combo with the Philly cheese“

“The food was good, but the service was not. Our waitress didn’t ask if we wanted refills on our drinks, she came by once to ask if we were ok, and didn’t return, until we were almost finished with our meals. Our food was served, but we didn’t have utensils to eat with. I won’t return to the restaurant, but I’ll probably door dash bec the food was good.“

“Enjoyed the Georgia Brown and a bacon cheese burger“

“The owners and their family are always helpful, super courteous. The food is always good and sizing depends on what you order. It may be pricey for some but just think you didn't have to cookbooks clean it, wish it were closer to my house. I stick to the crabs when ordering and have gotten them both clean and whole. There is no seating and be prepared to wait in your car. The ordering process can seem a bit sketch but it os not just follow instructions.“

“I always have a pleasant experience here. I have ordered for my family of 5 several times. I even had catered their wings for my baby shower, great taste, great price and great management. The owner ALWAYS treats me and my family with love and respect- we will continue to give J Buffalos our business.“

“I had to try them out after following on Social Media the food was so tempting that I had to make a detour through Riverdale on my way back from South Carolina to Alabama. Man they didn’t disappoint at all! The best Turkey I ever had in my life!!! I had the turkey knuckles and rice bowl. I will be coming back very soon. Food is 10 of 10!!!“

“First time eating JJs. I've heard so many good things about the restaurant so I had to pay them a visit. The restaurant was nice and clean. The food came out piping hot. It has a decent flavor. The hush puppies were my favorite. I wish my fish and chicken were fried a little harder but the overall taste was pretty good. I would definitely return.“

“I have ordered from her several times. We have tried several things, so here you go: Wings (honey hot are the bomb), beef hot dogs and fries are good. Turkey wings were good but could've been more tender. Cabbage and Mac and cheese (nah, not good) Philly Cheese Steak ( salty as hell) Do Not Try if you have Diabetes. Definitely a waste of money. Cornbread Dressing tasted more like cornbread (says my husband) Her customer service is GREAT!!! She's friendly and understanding. We will definitely order again. We'll just order what we know is good.“

“This is surprisingly the best fast food chicken I've ever tasted, not home cook but fast food. To me, it's better than all renowned chicken spot. I've only seen this brand at gas station but don't let that deter you from trying it. It's the real deal.“

“Food is so great! I had the shrimp and grits, soul rolls and the pancakes! Thank you so much to our beautiful waitress Brianna ! She was great, so sweet and on point with everything, very professional and food taste so good when it’s served with love . Thank you breakfast at Barney’s will be back next week lol“

“Overrated, cold, overcooked, and undercooked…just straight NASTY!!!!!!!“
