“My husband and I stopped in here after a long day of traveling and the service and food were so good!! The two ladies Arianna and the name escapes me working the front register were so polite and friendly. They answered all the questions and made sure we had everything we ordered. This is how restaurant service is supposed to be and I'm so glad to see it still exists.
The food was amazing as well hot, fresh and full of flavor!! The restaurant was clean and stocked with a working drink machine and napkins and all that was needed. We will be back.“

“Our party of 4 were served promptly and the food was delicious. Not a pretentious restaurant, just a down home bar and grill that serves unique dishes like shrimp and grits and salads with grilled tuna. If I ever get back to Covington I’ll make it a point to go there.“

“The customer service here is excellent. I have a WNB that’s less than 5 minutes from me but I chose to go to this location which is 15 minutes away because of the customer service and the taste of the food. I tried the location in snellville I wasn’t pleased. I have been here 3 times in less than a week. So for now this will be my go to spot.“

“Great Food & Music on the Southeast Side of Town! This is my favorite spot on the southeast side of town. This family owned restaurant provides an excellent night of entertainment with good food! It's always a nice experience. By the way, the restaurant is OPEN, so I'm not sure why the post in 2024 stated that it was closing. Please go an support this an amazing small business!“

“Fabulous atmosphere and good! This is a wonderful place! Will be back!!“

“We had wings they were perfect ! Really enjoyed them. And the service was great !“

“The wings are good size and they have lots of wing flavors. They let you control the extra seasoning for your fries. The only thing that is bad is the freestyle Coke machine doesn't mix right so everything is too soda water tasting. However, they have bottled drinks and they are good! Overall, a good place to eat!“

“Everything was excellent!“

“Breakfast was on POINT!!!“

“Management and staff have great customer service skills! Very kind people. Thanks Audrey for the great directions.“

“Went to grab some food to go went in order server was very nice and helpful food was very hot and it was presented in nice clear packaging so you could see it before you walked out the door i was very pleased with the service and food will return when I'm hungry“

“The food is GREAT (for a take-out). I love the seafood boil options: it's pretty tasty for the money! I admit that I might like the flavor of some other restaurants crab boils a tiny bit better, I'm not missing anything an extra dash Old Bay won't fix when I'm spending $20 less than the pocket robber Juicy Crab down the way. Catfish and wings are good. Plus they have fried green tomatoes and plenty more options - including vegetables that you can't get at Juicy Crab. Whenever they serve lunch specials, the cook throws down. I haven't seen those in a while but I'll welcome them. I have dined in before and the owner, an elderly Asian lady was so very nice and hospitable, based on her service, who could dare complain? That said, while there are plenty of open tables, the dusty old decor significantly detracts from this diner's ability to host a romantic dinner or birthday. Just save time and let them do all the cooking, carry out, then eat at home or at Wheeler Park or find an outdoor table in nearby Olde Towne Conyers.“

“Went there the other day to watch a football game that I couldn't get at home. Was greeted by several friendly people, had a few cold Coronas while watching the game. Ordered a burger and some wings to take home. The burger was really good and the wings was some of the best I've had.
Will be going back for more.“

“This establishment was clean and the staff was very professional and courteous. Our server made some excellent suggestions regarding our meal which was very good. I forget our servers' name but she had an island accent. Kudos to her customer service.“

“I recommend you wear 5 jackets to this one 🤣🥶🥶“

“My husband and I have been dining at this location for many years now and have always had exceptional experiences with the food and service, however our most recent visit fell short on the service side! Fortunately for us the Manager Clint smoothed everything out and we still left happy! Thanks Clint for understanding how important customer service is!!“

“Stopped here with my kids for a quick lunch. This was our first time trying Freddy's. The service was good. The burgers were good but the fries were a bit cold. The atmosphere was the place was okay I just recommend cleaning the tables.“

“Third shift weekend is a chill shift very nice people sweet tea is good food is good no complaints honestly the whole shift should get a raise because 2 dollars an hour is not enough at all especially for all the work that they do thank you third shift weekend Waffle House great experience“

“Great food and even better service... they make the best wings round Newton county period.“

“Their food NEVER disappoints! The whole wings are well seasoned and fried to perfection. I very like the cheesesteak egg rolls. They are always friendly to their customers.

Parking: They stay busy but there is always parking available. And if it's not you can park at the Velero gas station and walk over.

Wheelchair accessibility: Low curb to the side of the store.“

“the burgers are overly salty and I’ve ordered five of them for our household and they were all so salty you could barely eat it. Two days later ordered a few different things not burgers and the hashbrowns were soggy and the toast was burnt and not buttered. please check your food if you have a to go order before you leave. In the last 2 to 3 months I’ve ordered I guess about six times and every time it’s not been right! the waffles- how could you go wrong well let me tell you they sprinkled three or four peanut butter chips on top of it but charge me full price for it I ordered a peanut butter waffle. And not only I ordered a double one and they charge me for two singles. Just check your receipt check your food before you leave and if you’re eating there check everything just went again on Christmas 12/25/25 three years later try to give another shot and they’re still terrible“
