“my wife and I went this evening to celebrate our anniversary. we had a reservation for 6:15. arrived around 5:50 and were seated immediately. on our table we found a card signed by the entire staff wishing us a happy anniversary. shortly after we were seated the general manager brought us glasses of champagne. for appetizers I had the she crab soup and my wife had the salad. the owner came by and introduced himself to us between our starters and main course. I was very surprised and appreciative that not only he took the time to speak to us but to wish us a happy anniversary. we both had the fried chicken and Mac n cheese for our main course for desert I had the bread pudding my wife had the chocolate mousse brownie. they also brought out a banana pudding for us everything was amazing the food, service, the drinks and the atmosphere were all perfect. 5 stars all day“

“We are from out of town, visiting the nearby amphitheator. And when we saw the name of this place, we simply couldn't resist. And boy, are we glad we didn't. The atmosphere of the place, from the jump, is awesome. The staff, beyond perfect. Our waiter was perfect. Our entire experience was perfect. The grits - to cry for. The biscuits - perfect. The pancakes - delisious. Literally everything about this place was right on the money. We suggest it to anyone swinging through Alpharetta area. It will not let you down!“

“My dad and I love to grab lunch. We meet halfway between our homes and often try out new restaurants, especially when it’s our birthdays. I love a good farm-to-table restaurant and The Mill Kitchen and Bar delivers! On ALL levels. The food was great (I am a shrimp and grits connoisseur…these were on point!); Olivia was so funny and friendly to greet us when we arrived. David, our server was great. Knowledgeable about the food, kept our glasses filled and treated you like family or like a good neighbor. The patio was delightful (I usually run to the shade in this Atlanta heat) and the location is near Historic Roswell and the Mill district. Come try the Mill Kitchen and Grill for your next destination restaurant. You won’t be disappointed!“

“amazing Chicken Salad,, my favorites are OLIVIA'S OLD SOUTH and JALAPEÑO HOLLY!“

“I’ve been going to Chicken Salad Chick for a while now and have never had any complaints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistent, and the place is clean and welcoming every single time.

But what truly sets this location apart is Fernando. Whether he’s at the cashier or working in the back, he’s always there with a smile and an incredibly polite attitude. He genuinely goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. Need something? Fernando’s already on it. It’s rare to come across someone who consistently brings that kind of energy and care to their job, and it really makes a difference.

Massive props to him and the whole team. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area!“

“Wonderful Mother’s Day Brunch and lunch! First Mother’s Day for us and Chief Robert and team had an amazing spread!“

“The food definitely lives up to everything great that I’d read & seen on Facebook! The fried chicken was AMAZING, and so much food. LOVE that gravy! My husband seriously loved his shrimp and grits. It was my birthday, and the waiter brought me crème brûlée that we shared….YUM!! Best friendly waiter, and great atmosphere.“

“Always Fresh Food and Excellent Service“

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“A great restaurant that is aptly named because it really does have SOUL and is a good citizen of Alpharetta !“
