“Awesome location, and an amazing selection of beer, no matter what type you prefer, they have it, and if you're not sure, the friendly staff won't steer you wrong. Gets busy on the weekends, as they have a variety of pop up food stands there ? Plenty of outside seating as well. Love this place!“
“I thought that once the cousins took over the business, it would not be the same as when the brothers managed it. Well, I was wrong!!! Cousins have managed to keep up the same quality food and service. Their barbeque has award winning taste, and their vegetables are cooked fresh, not from a can. I will continue to support them as well bring friends who want excellent grilled meats and flavourful sauces!!!“
“From the moment I made my reservation, The Optimist in Atlanta promised a distinctive dining adventure, and oh boy, did they deliver! Steering clear of the usual praise for décor, this review highlights the exceptional aspects that truly make The Optimist a must-visit destination.First off, the service here isn't just good; it's clairvoyant. The staff anticipated needs I didn't know I had, from detailed explanations of dish ingredients to personalized recommendations tailored to my taste preferences. Their timing was impeccable, ensuring a seamless flow from course to course without ever feeling rushed.Now, let’s talk about the culinary journey. The menu, inspired by sea fare, offers a refreshing twist on classic seafood dishes. The smoked oysters are a revelation—served with a mignonette that features a hint of apple, which beautifully complements the smokiness. And the main event, the whole roasted fish, is a masterpiece of simplicity and flavor, showcasing the chef’s deft touch and respect for high-quality ingredients.Not to be outdone, the beverage selection at The Optimist is a treasure chest of delights. The cocktail list is inventive, featuring sea-inspired twists on classic drinks, like the "Saltwater Taffy Old Fashioned," which is as whimsical as it is delicious. The wine list is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the fish dishes to new heights.In summary, The Optimist isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a voyage that delights and surprises with its service, menu creativity, and attention to detail. It’s a place where every visit promises new discoveries, making it clear why this gem is often touted as one of the best seafood experiences in Atlanta.“
“If you haven’t dropped by the DOPEST brewery in ATL you are missing out! Love the aesthetic and all of the art work. They always have a good dj or a cool event happening and it’s super spacious. Food and pizza is 10 out of 10. Beers are great as well, you may even catch a few of the members of Nappy Roots in the brewhouse when you pop by, they are awesome guys! One of the 1st and only black owned breweries in Atlanta and they really do a great job representing for the culture. Stop by after game day for a brew, it’s just a few blocks from the Mercedes Benz!“
“The tower of power burger is an absolute banger! It is juicy and flavorful and I substituted caramelized onions with bacon instead and it was really amazing. A MUST TRY ?. The garlic Parmesan fries on the side were good but not great I would say. They have wide variety of dips and I really liked sriracha mayo with the burger and fries.The VIETNAMESE WINGS were just fireeee? loved the basil flavor and as the waiter mentioned it takes a lot of time for these wings so you better order them first if you’re ordering multiple things.The service was good but they’re only 2 for the whole restaurant so it took quite some time for asking anything else. But overall it is a MUST TRY ?? . I and my wife loved the food and the experience. Will be back sometime again to try the rest of the menu“
“I would like to share my thoughts on this place and the people who served me.. first I want to say my server, I believe her name was Shelbie was absolutely amazing. Very upbeat, welcoming, smiling, and so polite. She checked in to make sure I was okay and if I needed anything. You don’t get too many people like that you come across. Now and days people are lazy and rude. Total opposite with this young lady. Thank you so much. Can’t forget the cook, Leo!! The food was giving rich and expensive. But far from expensive. The prices are definitely reasonable, and he’s gonna make sure your food is hot and Fresh every time. Presentation is everything to me and he gets an A+.. Thank you frozen goose for your outstanding service. ASK FOR SHELBIE! She’s gonna take care of you. Definitely going back!!!“
“Great for a night out with the husband, boyfriend, or friends! Literally on the square! Great place to try new beers and have great conversations! I suggest asking for Sam as your server!Vegetarian options: Has meat of course but does have some clearly labeled vegetarian options! Not the most I’ve seen but has a few!“
“Horned Owl Brewing is an essential destination for beer enthusiasts, residents, and visitors to Kennesaw. Their beer selection is a wide-ranging set of styles and the quality of the brews is memorably positive. The space is great for grown ups and families alike, with plenty of indoor and outdoor area as well as a full compliment of TVs for enjoying your favorite teams play. Horned Owl also offers a food menu with items perfect for pairing with their nice variety of brews. A highly recommended local brewery worthy of attention in the Atlanta area!“
“A fantastic bar to wind down or start your day off with. I frequent here before and after my classes due to their decent prices, excellent food, and student discount.It tends to be fairly quiet most times, but they play music and have TVs in case you want a low-key vibe but don't want complete silence.“
“Cool bar to try a number of beer and cocktails without needing to lock into a full drink is fantastic. Very cool environment and a good place to hang out. Something to still be worked on with the tabs on the 2nd/3rd floor being heavy foam. The staff was great and quick to help get the foam issues corrected and had great recommendations.“
“Me and three friends went to grab some food. We ended up splitting 3 appetizers between the 4 of us. The food was absolutely incredible, and the portions were generous. It surpassed expectations. Our server was great too. I would highly recommend!!“
“Kourtland was beyond amazing!! He’s such an asset and probably the best server I’ve ever had. He was attentive, knowledgeable, hilarious, kind, passionate and so much more. He deserves a raise and we will definitely be coming back just to see Kourtland.“
“Great late night spot for drinks and fun. You can go downstairs for games or stay upstairs for bar and food. Games include, pool, darts,boardgames,a hook game, Shuffle board & more. We didnt eat here but played games. It was definitely packed on a Friday night, and there was even a cute photo booth downstairs for $3.00.“
“The lemon pepper wings are delicious…and the fried rice reminds me of the Chinese fried rice from St. Louis…it’s excellent! But, the Philly cheesesteak is exquisite! I’ve had Philly cheesesteaks in at least five different states, including Pennsylvania, and the cheesesteak sandwiches at Cafe Hot Wing are miles above the rest!“
“So the restaurant is open on a limited basis from Thursday to Saturday as of this date. But room service is available for guests at the malfunction prone Embassy Suites on 17th street. I called for room service during dinner rush. About 20 minutes later there’s a knock on the door - it’s the restaurant manager : “I tried to call you, “ he said. (the phone wasn’t working it appears?). He wanted me to know they had run out of what I’d ordered but he’d be happy to bring me something else for the same price. And then 15-minutes later he returned with my order which was freshly made and tasty. Give this guy a medal for good food and superlative service!“
“I would definitely recommend this restaurant! We stopped on our way to Alabama and I'm so glad we did. The food was so fresh and good. We ordered the Bronx burger, chicken tenders and fries, and we also ordered the j*** chicken egg rolls. We had an amazing meal and even had entertainment . Thank you again for the dinner it is very appreciated! Don't pass this place it's a hidden gem.“
“Great selection for anyone who enjoys an adult beverage! There are 40 taps of craft beer, cocktails, wine and sake, plus a selection of fine whiskeys, rums, tequilas and other spirits. The beers on tap are only available at breweries or sold in small batches and the taps will change daily. To my delight, there was even an Other Half IPA on tap when I visited once, and to my knowledge, you can't find that beer anywhere in the state of Georgia. The bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive, so I always stop in when I'm in the area.“
“So much fun. We came in around 10pm for karaoke on thursday. Our server was very sweet, attentive and kind. I wish I got her name but she had wavy hair and glasses. This place was cute, string lights hanging around, very casual with an outdoor patio, pool table and more. Karaoke song choices had basically no limits. We had an amazing time.“
“Super great place, friendly staff, excellent customer service. I randomly stopped by one afternoon while alone on a business trip & felt so safe and comfortable while dining in. Also idk if I met the owner or manager but whoever he was hes great guy. Whole staff ??“
“Had a great time stopping here before a show at the Fox. It was super easy to get there from the North Ave MARTA station & a short walk to the Fox from there. The food, service, and drinks were amazing! Ahmeer the host was so nice and worked to accommodate us despite being tardy for our reservation.“
“Loved this place! The food and drinks were fantastic, service was excellent and the ambiance was lively. We had the fried pickles, I had shrimp and grits with the smoked old fashioned. My son had a blt burger and we brought home the bayou shrimp scampi and beignets to my daughter. The price point was great for all that we got and the quality. We'll be back!“
“We drive from Chattanooga TN to the Bay Breeze in Marietta once per month. The food is THAT good. We would go every week if it was not 100 miles away.Please build a Bay or Sea Breeze in Chattanooga. There is NO seafood here or that is great.“
“Have been a "regular" for a long time, but since nearly 100% WFH home, this has become my "second office" for lunch! Wether you have Nicole, Payton or Sidney as your bartender/server - conversation and service are top notch along with the food. Personally I go for the "black and bleu" burger when it's on special, but you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu!Kid-friendliness: Always kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Both spaces and restroom“
“Visited as it was within walking distance from the Cobb Convention center. About a 15-20 minute walk (mostly waiting to cross streets) Met a business partner out on the patio to enjoy the weather. I had the Thunder bowl salad. I was very happy with it. Great taste. Well dressed. Waitress did an excellent job of taking care of us. I would happily go back“
“I can't believe I slept on this place for so long! I've known about Muss and Turner's forever, but didn't really think of their pizza place as a spot to try. I finally wised up and gave it a go. Blown away! Best pizza in Atlanta. Better than Glide, Antico, or many other very good options we have around town, so that's definitely saying something. Like a Terminator, I'll be back.“
