“My husband and I came here for the first time on New Year’s Eve. Parking was easy and from the moment we walked in we were greeted. We were seated immediately at a nice table and were given time to soak in the atmosphere and look over the menu. I ordered the Rockefeller oysters and a Long Island, both were delicious and did not disappoint! My husband had a jack and coke. For our entree I had the salmon sliders( which were recommended by our waitress) they were filling and oh sooo good! My husband had wings and truffle fries which were nice and crispy. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves 10/10 I recommend.“

The food is equally amazing: fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. You can really tell they put love into every dish. If you’re looking for a place that combines great hospitality with delicious, authentic soul food, RC’s is it. I highly recommend it — you won’t be disappointed!“

“I ordered Flying Biscuit catering for an event I had for my interns and when I tell you blown away! The communication and timeliness of the staff. The lady (I'm mad I didn't get her name) she was so sweet. I told her I could set up and she said nope she's got it. They came prepared with everything! I ordered stuff and I didn't even need it because the came with plates, utensils, water, etc they were truly amazing! Will continue to use Flying Biscuit!“

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

“I visited this restaurant on a Thursday evening and the restaurant had a brisk clientele. The waitress came to our table immediately and asked for our drink orders and brought them back very quickly. I ordered the above items and in less than 15minutes i had my order and it was hot and seasoned to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a quick wholesome meal, with all taste you remember from growing up.“

“Recently spent a few days in Atlanta. (Go Braves!) This was the BEST meal we had the entire time. Scott, you and your staff have my vote --- 5 star, A+ all the way. Marcelo, your service during our meal --- perfect. This will be a "must do" the next time we are in Atlanta. In the meanwhile, when YOU go, get the fried chicken and any of the sides. You will thank me.“

“when i am in town one of my favorite places to eat, tonight was on point great food and service.“

“Where to start? What a delightful evening and meal. The waiter, to start with, was amazingly attentive and kept up with us the entire evening. Also the owner came over and filled us in on the recent history. Liquor license is in now but I don't drink so that was not important. Let me segue to the food. OMG, the mushroom and goat cheese fondue with tomato jam was to die for. It was served in a cast iron skillet with plenty of toast. The sauce was so rich and creamy. To keep this under an hour and a half reading let me say my bride's steak was perfect along with the brussel sprouts and kale. Let me tell you about the pork chop. I like my pork chops to be medium rare if possible and it was perfectly pink inside. I try my best to get that look and I always overcome them. The sweet potato puree asking with the brussel sprouts was outstanding. The portions were very generous and couldn't ask anything better for a Monday night meal. OK, then there was the bread pudding. Oh, Lord, when I tasted the whiskey I almost fell in the floor. So, let me say to the people who has a bad time at the restaurant that they are hitting on all cylinders. I can understand a Karen or two that have nothing better to do than be haters, especially after the opening of the restaurants after COVID. I get it. Why not try to come back and give it another chance. They deserve it and you could use a good meal to chill out.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“we had Roxy that helped us out. so nice and very helpful. I believe it was a manager that came by to check on us also. that was cool. the food was Delicious 😋“

“The food reminded me of Sunday lunches at my grandmother's home. And the banana pudding - none of that jello stuff - made from a dessert roux. Delicious!“

“The Fickle Pickle has a really cozy, hometown feel and the atmosphere is welcoming from the moment you walk in. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich with sweet potato fries, and both tasted like they were homemade. The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients, and the sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly. You can tell they put care into their food instead of serving something mass-produced. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great lunch spot in Roswell.“

“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!“

“The food is delicious. The seats are so close together my boyfriend had to sit in the aisle until the people at the table behind him finished up and left. I understand they want as many people in as possible but that made the first half of our meal a bit awkward.

This time it was smoother and they have mimosas now even though I did not try one..“

“The food, drinks, and service are consistently good.“

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

“One of the best bbq places for many years! This one better not go away!“

“It was a little noisy outside but my room was extremely clean. There’s a nice bar and a restaurant, where I had breakfast. Most importantly, it was quiet at night and the showers worked well. Extremely accessible to the highway and a better value than some similar hotels.“

“Timothy was kind enough to make sure we had extra corn muffins to go with my husband’s left over ribs- I had no left overs from the hand held. We have been here 3 times and it is soo yummy!“

“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!“

“The customer service was very warm, courteous & friendly, the owner gave me a sample of the kale & it was sooooo good!! It was my 1st time there, I can truly say it won't be my last!!! They are Top Tier in my opinion...Luv it!!! ☺ 💛 🙏“
