“November 2, 2024.
Return visit. Waitress was Liz, she was awesome.Ordered another BLT from the lunch menu, was perfect,(had no onions on it and Liz said the BLT doesn't come with onions on it.)
October 4, 2024.
Ordered a BLT from their lunch menu. I asked the waitress if it was only bacon, lettuce & tomato, nothing extra added. She said yes that was all. When it arrived there were raw onions on it. I pointed it out to her and she said that is the way they make them (the onions were not listed on the menu). She said if I send it back there would be a long wait to get it since they were busy. I picked them off (I HATE RAW ONIONS), there was also no mayo on it. I asked for some mayo, never got it. I also paid cash, I was to get back $1 and change, she never gave me back my change so that was her tip. There were 7 of us and I wasn't the only one that she messed up on. One of the guys, she had to go back and find his credit card.“

“Bartender tonight was cool. Decent place to have a beer.“

“We have not been eating out as much as possible since the Coronavirus pandemic and tonight we decided to venture out with our masks on to pick up a quick family dinner after working all day. I was so impressed with the young mans customer service at the register (who was behind a plexiglass partition) and with the safety measures and social distancing they are enforcing. Only 2 people inside at a time and you wait outside for your order to be called over a speaker. Food was GREAT! Wings were super crispy and delicious! The price and the amount of food I received was a surprise! More than enough to feed our family of 5! Highly recommend! Great job guys 👏🏼! And they were packed with orders coming in and going out!“

“This location has to be one of my favorite places that I have visited. Brandy the Manager is absolutely amazing… always has a friendly smile and always greeted me like I was family. My favorite server was Jess… once she got to know me, I didn’t even have to tell her my order because she always remembered everything and the way I wanted it….. the food was absolutely delicious… always was hot and just the perfect amount. Brandy, Jess, Sherry,Christina & Holly became my extended family which was just an awesome bonus! These ladies are just absolutely amazing!!!“

“Culver’s is awesome! I made one phone call to the store to say I was bringing my walking club Kids and they were more than happy to provide us with ice cream! Love this place!“

“My first time at Medieval Times!! Was it cheesy and for kids with its paper crowns? Yes. Was it awesome, fun and exciting too? Also yes. Come with a light playful heart and it’s a great time! Definitely the show towards the end was exciting and I loved rooting for the knight we were assigned. Don’t worry, I give No spoilers about the drama and intrigue but the last half of the show was the most compelling.
I bought the VIP package which was front row seats and a few other small things. It was worth it to be closer to the action, to see the horses and other animals and the knights. I need subtitles because I definitely couldn’t clearly make out 70% of what was said. But the acting is good enough, You get the point. Service was great and attentive. Tip is not included in the price. The food?…just know you aren’t there for the food. It was ok, I’ll eat beforehand or at least bring some salt, utensils, napkins (and wipes.) Dessert was a weird curdled mini eclair. I was disappointed that the VIP package I purchased said it included cake which was not provided. The package I purchased also included a photo session which was a nice keepsake for me and my guest. At the end they do a meet and greet with the Knights where you get to take pictures. They were really great sports and fun to meet at the end. I will say I am impressed with their acting, athleticism and choreographed fighting.

Best for kids ages 5-9 and anyone older who wants to be a kid for a few hours.
My teenager wants to go with me so I will probably go again. I already know she will want me to stop somewhere afterward for food lol“

“Great Gwinnett 1818 Club is the best“

“Delicious food. Lovely staff.“

“We live in Monroe and love eating at our many delicious restaurants. However, Legends Grill is the one restaurant we'll drive in annoying traffic, 30+ minutes away because the food is so delicious. We love the burgers and french dip sandwhiches. It's a must visit.“

“Had good time playing dart tournament. It’s been years since played but I will be back“

“Great live music on the patio!! 😎🎶“

“One of the best restaurants in the area.“

“Ordered 10 jumbo wings and fries, wings were tiny and far from jumbo... about the size of my thumb. Paid $16.95 just for the "jumbo" micro wings.“

“We have been to Philanthropy Grill & Ale House many times, and it is always a great time. The food is always amazing, and the people are very friendly. Highly recommended.“

“Service is always excellent as is the food. I have never been disappointed.“

“If you’re looking for an amazing brunch spot look no further!! I took my sister here to start off her bachelorette and I’m so glad I did. As soon as we walked in everyone was so welcoming there was no wait we were immediately seated and greeted by our waitress. We started off with some drinks and they were to die for!! Then the food was next level, I wish I was exaggerating but it truly is just that good. It was a good vibe and great time, will be coming here for now on!“

“Outstanding Food and Overall Experience! - Reservation for 8 to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday (4:30 on a Friday). We almost changed our mind, because we learned my oldest daughter and her hubby had a bad experience at this restaurant in 2021. So glad we gave it another chance. Restaurant is under new management, and it shows! From the greeters at the door with smiles making a first impression, to a personable, attentive server (LeLe), excellent food and engagement by the manager being visible and interacting with guests - it was well worth our time. Total enjoyment! Our group had the snapper, salmon, shrimp & grits, catfish and one vegetarian who made a meal from the sides. Food was beautifully plated and presented and everything was hot & fresh, well seasoned and tasted great. Generous portions too. We also had the bourbon glazed brussels, skillet cornbread and the sticky ribs as appetizers. HIGHLY recommend the brussels and the ribs!! It was the first day testing the ribs, so you may have to ask for them, if they're not on the menu yet. Appreciated the free birthday dessert! If you had a previous bad experience over the last couple of years, you may want to try again. The new manager has the right attitude and a good vision for setting a new standard for The Parkside District. Keep it up! We will definitely visit again. We are glad to recommend the restaurant!“

“My family and I had the best time on Saturday night here! We’d never been but were invited to join by a friend who performs there sometimes- lead singer of “The Unknown”! The service was amazing, the jams were jamming!! We went thinking we’d stay an hour and we stayed 4 hours! The drinks were flowing, service was awesome (Go Stretch) and the band made it an entire vibe. We can’t wait to go back next time they perform!“

“I'll probably never go to IHOP again. Here's the deal: Sometimes my daughters just want pancakes or waffles, but I'm keto so this is a problem. Omelets are the obvious solution. Cracker Barrel is not conveniently located for us, and they don't have waffles. At IHOP they proudly boast that their omelets have a splash of pancake batter in the mix. (Why? Who thought this was a good idea?)

At pancake house, they make a fantastic omelet. I order it with bacon, sausage and cheddar. They don't just crumble up a slice of bacon. It's filled with and covered by bacon and sausage. Meaty goodness in every bite. I get a fruit cup on the side that has a keto sized portion of melon.

My daughter got the chicken and waffles. It looked amazing. The syrup was served hot. The chicken was golden-brown and thick and juicy.

The service is always great here. It was busy but not crowded. The meal arrived promptly and exactly as ordered.

Support a great local restaurant in the best little town in the South! Grab a bite on your way into downtown Lawrenceville.“

“OMG! This place has been newly renovated. I must say it looks AMAZING!!! Donna, the bartender, was IMPECCABLE! She was very energetic, attentive, and sweet! She kept her bar and tables clean while still tending to her customers. The food came out at a good time and she refilled our drinks without us asking. I will definitely be returning and sitting with Donna! 10/10 😊“

“Let me tell you . After a long waited opening date. They Are OPEN. BREAKFAST this am. Long Awaited. Stone Ground Grits OMG (on Billy thank you). Husband had Moon Pie (never heard of) Eggs, Bacon were perfectly cooked. Hashbrowns could use a little adjustment. But No Biggie Kid Cleaning the tables GREAT JOB. Wiped the Seats Also“

“Guy taking orders was very welcoming and wasnt pushy for us to order. Food was piping hot and fresh including lettuce. Very great place for a great decent priced burger. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Were here 10/10 again. Same welcoming as the previous 3 times. Same review as before. Great service piping hot food and prices phenomenal with a great choice of menu. BURGERZZZZZ🍔 🍔 🍔 🍔 🍔 🍔“

“Idk where my boy bruce went, but big bro passed the torch to the new owners. X-hot wing flavor still tastes the same. New menu with lots of stuff. Cook is the same. Peach juice still fire. Owners are nice ppl. They got apple juice in the lil apple shaped bottles. Need to check if they got fried okra. whered u go bruce 😔“

“Was craving wings or burgers and happen to drive through Publix and saw this place. Was an hour before closing so fiancé and I ordered to go. The chickens have so many flavors to pick from. We tried the honey mild, dry rub Jamaican jerk, and garlic Parmesan for now but we want to try more of the other flavors. And try out a burger.“

“This was the best brunch food I’ve had in a long time, by fair. I had the cheesecake French Toast, veggie omelette and creamy grits. Delicious!!!“

“This is a great local restaurant that My family and I go all the time! It always has amazing food and even better people! Definitely recommended going here!“

“Our experience at Local Republic was so good we went twice during our visit to Lawrenceville. On Saturday we went for an appetizer and drinks. We sat at the bar and our service was fantastic. Her timing was above par! We had the Korean Chicken Wings, boneless wings generously tossed in gochjang sauce. They were so good, I seriously considered ordering again on Sunday just to take home. We had espresso martinis, made with vodka. They were really good and for those of us who are lactose intolerant, they do not contain dairy. We went back on Sunday for their Sunday brunch. Highly recommend! When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the lady who was our bartender on Saturday. She immediately recognized us and welcomed us back. We were seated right away and the server also recognized us, even though he had not waited on us on Saturday. He also provided exceptional service. My husband had the brisket tostada served with a runny egg on top. He really enjoyed it and I had a bite. Definitely something we would order again. I had their shrimp and grits. I am normally not one to eat grits, but these were so good, I couldn’t stop myself. They were served with a tomato sauce the was spicy, andouille sausage and roasted red peppers. It was so good! I can hardly wait to have my leftovers for breakfast tomorrow. Unfortunately, my husband devoured his Brisket Tostada, so no leftovers there. Overall, I cannot recommend Local Republic enough for their exceptional food and service. Their prices are reasonable as well. Our tab on Sunday, which included one more espresso martini, was only $51.“

“What a treat. Great service. Best breakfast food I've had in a long time. and the biscuits! wow!“

“Used Eagles Landing to cater our daughter’s wedding and it was simply amazing. Judy is so easy to work, great communication and very accommodating. They offered more food for much less than any other caterer! The staff that worked the event were kind, helpful and personable. Heard so many compliments about the food and staff. Would definitely hire them again! Thank you Judy and the entire staff!“

“Great ambiance and casual sophistication in a quietly classy environment. Visually appealing in all areas and a chilled atmosphere that's comfortable and relaxing. Service was efficient, friendly and not oversold. Varied menu with wide appeal and extensive wine list. Very good food for price point. The acoustics of the live music was pitched just right and we could still have a conversation. If you're considering A Chateau Elan restaurant or Cotton Calf I highly recommend this as a superior alternative to check out. Theres no question we will return.“

“The Classic Tavern Burger was my favorite dish. I had not been there for a while. They used to serve it on a leaf of lettuce, but now serve it on chopped lettuce. The chopped lettuce altered the taste in a negative way. I hope they return to serving it the old way.“

“I had jury duty recently and got there early enough to eat breakfast at the café. The pancakes & bacon was delicious and made fresh at the time of the order.
It is great to have a café on site for jurors & I highly recommend eating at the courthouse Cafe.“

“I just stumbled upon these guys the other night as I was searching for food delivery on Google. I was a little skeptical to try them because I had never heard of them before but to make a long story short, I'm glad I did. I will definitely be ordering from Food Shuttle again in the future because they have Ted's Montana Grill on their menu and that's one of my favorite restaurants. I am giving them 4 stars just because I think they could use more restaurants on their site but overall, I would say they are a very solid service and I would recommend them.“

“Best authentic Mediterranean food in gwinnett county hands down. I highly reccomend the meat sample tray. Everything is made from scratch and it shows. The pita bread is so fresh its ridiculous. And don't missout on the pistachio baklava. Will be back next week. My wifes new favorite spot.“

“Jamie and Jordan are great and friendly servers, so helpful and fun. Will come back as these ladies are my all time favorites“

“Food is good but they are mostly out of burgers which is a disappointment, overall good and friendly service.Be aware menu on Grubhub is not correct. French Fries are mentioned on Grubhub, they don't serve French fries at all. Please call to place order.

“😃Shout out to Trish at Sonny's ... great service and good food.“

“I've been here twice in two weeks and WOW!!! These ladies have some of THE BEST sides outside my family gatherings. First time I had the country fried steak sandwich it was so big I couldn't eat but half of it and I'm a big dude! The black eyed peas & green beans were AMAZING! Today I got 4 sides definitely got the green beans again but decided Today to do Lima Beans, Collards and Mac & Cheese. Holy Cow!!! The Collards had the great snap to them and were perfect, the lima beans were just right and the M&C was silky smooth like velvet on your taste buds! Then the corn bread...🤯 my dog ate half too and was begging for more!!! I can't wait to go back in 2wks!“

“We ate lunch here after church today, 12/14/25. Service was great from the front door until we left. Our waiter, Michael B was friendly and patient with our 7 member party’s special requests. Awesome job Michael 🙌“

“Buena atención !!gracias 😊“

“Everything! The food, the atmosphere, they don’t make fun of my mustache, it’s so great there! Katie is the best bartender and Jazz is the best server!!! We love it there ❤️“

“Incredible Bacon Shrimp Pizza. Everything is made in-house. Great service, super clean, and quick. Definitely give them a try.“

“My family and I went around 8 and sat in a section rather empty but that was honestly preferred by me since my son is extremely extroverted. Jeffery was our Server and the food was good to all of us it usually is pretty good, it's the service that usually makes us hesitant but he was by far the best part of the visit...He was the best server we have had there. Whenever we go back that is who we will ask for because it has been a while anywhere not just there that we have received that great of service. I appreciate the laughs and how well he did with my son. We came in happy but left excited to come back! Excellent job! Give that man a raise bonus something!“

“Buffalo's Cafe does a great job! We have done meetings there many times, and they always have great food and service!“

“Yesssssss and yeeeeessss! I absolutely love this place!!!! I am typica breakfast person but I love a good brunch to start my day. The moment I saw red velvet waffle I was SOLD. Our server was super sweet and the cook really poured his heart into the food. That red velvet cupcake was EVERYTHING (no syrup). It was so light and fluffy. I also ordered bacon, scrambled eggs and hash (which gravy on top). The food was so good and felt like it was made straight from my grandmother's kitchen“

“Best wings and burgers around these parts of the metro Atlanta area.“

“I was in the neighborhood and stopped in for a steak! The renegade steak combo was ordered with seasoned rice and broccoli. Everything was tasty along side the Texas Margarita! And of course the bread was delicious!!! 😋 I enjoyed my visit!“
