New American Restaurants near Smyrna, GA

“I found Zeke's while in town on business. Amazing food and staff! Highly recommend!“

“Everything was very good. The sweet Thai chili sauce with the deviled eggs worked more than you think it would. And the salad mixture cut through the fried flavor nicely. The pre made topping burgers seemed like a safe bet. And both my husband and I were impressed that even with all the unique things that built the burgers, you never got the “too much gene” issue that other restaurants can struggle with. Which was nice! What we ordered: The Fried Devilled Eggs The Bistro Burger The Heat-something burger (basically the spice heads one) Amber BD beer. Everything was great and our waitress was super nice and social without being invasive.“

“Always consistently great food! The funky chicken sandwich is hands down the BEST chicken sandwich in ATL! I also love their side fresh greens salad with champagne vinaigrette. Everything we ever order here is fantastic! Keep up the great work!!“

“Enjoy Festive atmosphere during holiday season. Classy cocktails and good food.“

“Great ace to find Geogia Grown local products, and Grocery. Best“

“I had an amazing brunch experience! Our waiter Chris was amazing. He made the best recommendations! I will definitely be back for dinner!“

“Dominique was our waitress and was so knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and made great recommendations. Food was amazing, it had good flavor and steaks were very tender. The only thing that didn’t make sense is the dress code considering one hostess has visible tattoos (girl power) and another one had on a midriff-shirt.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Spring. The service and food were top tier. We can’t wait to see the restaurant after the renovations and eventually try the new location when it opens.“

“I had a amazing time at 5Church Atlanta. Went for friends birthday. A lot of other Restaurants in Atlanta had horrible 2 hour wait times but this restaurant did not . Great Service. Great Food. Great location. Best restaurant experience I had in years . It’s so nice. Very upscale, classy , urban vibe . We got there early before reservation like 15/20 mins was able to be seated immediately. Waitress got drink orders and menu orders fast . Food came out quickly 15/20 mins . It was delicious and warm. All the food was delicious. Will go again and recommend it . Great restaurant, probably one of best in Atlanta. Prices were affordable $40/60/100 depending on number of people in group and good portions for food , so you can order a few things and split: try a few things on menu . It’s worth money and experience. Me and friend had lamb burger , fries . Other Friend got waffle and chicken .“

“I cannot speak highly enough of Avize. Everything about this dining experience was special. The atmosphere, the decor, the music. Every single detail is so perfectly curated to enhance the diners enjoyment of their meal.

I can truly say this is the best meal I’ve had in a long time.

For people who have been accused of pretensions around food (me), this will be the kind of experience you spend the year chasing. For people who just enjoy a good meal in a cool space, the menu has more than enough to offer.

Off the heels of the Michelin recommendations, I heard a lot of people say that Atlanta has no restaurants worthy of two stars. To them I’d ask, have you visited Avize?

Anyways I did start crying when I ate the final
Chocolate because it was the literal perfect bite at the end of a stunning meal but that’s me.

Get anything. Get everything. Just go.“

“We visited for the first time Friday before a show at the Strand. We have a reservation for inside, but it was a beautiful evening and we truly appreciated being seated outside. Inside is very nice, but noisy, so outside was perfect. Debbie was extremely friendly and professional and made us feel right at home. Even though we could tell she was busy, she served us efficiently with a big smile. The scallops were cooked to perfection, as was the seared tuna. And I'd also recommend the eggplant small plate. A wonderful dining experience all the way around!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Lazy Betty last night and I can not begin to tell you how wonderful the meal was. The attention to detail in the preparation and service was above the norm. Servers were friendly, personable yet not intrusive which is a difficult mix that they have mastered. I highly recommend this establishment if you want a culinary “experience” that will make your tastebuds explode with delight.“

“Great food, cocktails and service!“

“I have been eating here for years. It is our favorite restaurant ever, as well as my favorite restaurant to refer my clients when they come from out of town. I have never had a meal that wasn't cooked to perfection, as well as the kindest employees, and excellent service always. hands down the best“

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Shiann at Twin Peaks, and I can't say enough about the incredible experience! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Her extensive knowledge of the drink menu helped us pick out some fantastic cocktails, each one perfectly crafted and delicious. What really stood out was Shiann's attention to detail and her genuine interest in making sure we had a great time. She checked in on us regularly, ensuring our drinks were topped off and that we were enjoying our meal. It was clear that she has a passion for her job and really takes pride in providing excellent service. Not to mention she’s very easy on the eyes 🫶🏾“

“Loved the food, and the service was great. Our server, Seven, took great care of us and made sure our meal was perfect. The Manager sat us, found out we were first-timers, and made sure we got our complimentary homemade kettle chips. Those chips were unexpected but awesome. My wife's filet was tender and cooked to perfection and my burger was a fresh patty (not pre-made or frozen)!“

“If I had to sum my experience up in one word, it would be Astonishing. From the Pre-Arrival to the departure, everything about The Southern Gentleman (TSG) was amazing. Deciding to take my sistie out for her birthday, TSG appeared in my Yelp search results. Exploring the images and the reviews that appeared I decided to checkout the website. After falling in love with the menu it was a green light. I clicked the link to make a reservation and was taken to Open Table. The process itself was simple, easy, and to the point. Once it was booked I was able to send the info to all those in my party as they could add it to their calendars. As we decided to go on a Saturday at 2:15 pm, I called TSG the day before to ensure that when they closed at 3:00 pm we wouldn’t have to leave. As I anticipated, since we would be inside already, we didn’t have to depart while they switched over from brunch to lunch/dinner. The young lady who answered the phone was super pleasant, very vibrant, and understood my question. She provided first call resolution and further enhanced my excitement to experience TSG. Can you tell it was my first time? LoL!!! Finally Saturday was upon us and it was time to go. As TSG sits in the area with all the shops, parking wasn’t the easiest on the street, however, there is a valet option. TSG sits on the upper level so needless to say I was lost for a few minutes. 😂😂😂😂😂 Walking up to the restaurant, the scenery is gorgeous and the ambiance is immediately set. Beautiful clean lines, white drapes, open patio, glass front, I’m talking all of that and more. The space is infectious and truly draws you in. I opened the door and was greeted by a hostess with a huge smile and pleasant demeanor. She welcomed me in and asked how many. Once I provided her my name she showed us to our seats and the TSG experience was in full go mode. Taking a moment to get settled in our booth and take in the great artwork, eye-catching bar, and beautiful hardwood floors. I told y’all, astonishing. Mykieya approached our table and I was instantly amazed. Her smile, her warm introduction, her service first approach to taking our drink order, whew! Mykieya understands the art of providing stellar service which led to my astonishing experience. Ok. Now! Hear me out. We have gone through the Pre-Arrival - Awesome. I just brought you on my journey of arriving - Awesome. By this time I am on a Happy Service High and I haven’t even ordered yet. Speaking of ordering… Babeeeeeeeeeee!!! Hear ye, Hear ye! As if the service wasn’t enough, the nerve of management to hire a chef that literally knocked EVERY SINGLE DISH OUT OF THE PARK!!!!! I’m talking flavor, texture, blends and soul pleasing moments of pure bliss. Whew! Let’s talk food: For Appetizers, Mac & Cheese - Cheesy, Flavorful, Perfectly Done, WELL above any restaurant made Mac I have ever had. A truly homestyle, grandmother made experience. 🤤 Chocolate Chip Banana Bread - This secret dish was spot on. Sweet with notes of Savory and all moments of soft baked, well crafted goodness. 🤤 Deviled Eggs - OhEmGeeeeee. The Deviled portion (LoL) of these eggs was thick, creamy, well blended, well seasoned, and then… as if I wasn’t already in love. The gall of the chef to top it with crumbles of perfectly crisp baconnnnnnnnn. 🤤 Mj Drink, Sweet Tea - Hunni, the brew was Brewin and this tea hit the spot. Sweet. Southern. Stirred. Very Delicious. Very Demoure. My Main Dish, Southern Fried Chicken - 🤦🏿‍♂️ Why did I order this???? This dish stole my entire heart. The pancake tasted like my mother was in back showing off with that cast iron skillet. Crispy edges, soft middle, thick, and huge. This pancake was a showstopper all by itself. However, hold on because in comes the Maple Syrup. Whoa! The syrup was thin and rich. The thinness of it allowed the pancake to soak it up even better. Forget the fact that the chicken was well seasoned, well battered, golden fried, southern seasoned, and best of all… The Bombbbbbbbbbbbbbb. Yes! Forget all that as the pancake had and still (4 days l“

“OMG! My husband and I walked in and instantly felt the friendly vibe. I believe the manager greeted us as we studied the menu trying to figure out that'll be the best thing to try with this being our first time. The manager was super nice and helped us with suggestions on what to try and how to order. He left right after speaking to us as I'm guessing that his shift was over at that point but I was impressed with how helpful he was as he's walking out of the door. Then Caleb took over with suggestions and good pairings for the different bases and proteins and sauces. What he suggested was SO GOOD! The sweet potato noodles were SO GOOD and I'm not a noodle person like that! This is just a start and we will go back many times as they've been added to the "what do you wanna eat tonight" debate and this is one place that we ALL can agree on liking as a family and it's healthy! The friendliness alone will have us coming back. Way to go to the management team for setting that tone and standing behind it!“

“We had an exceptional dining experience, thanks to the outstanding service from Faith, our waiter, and the expertly crafted drinks by Nick. Faith was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making sure our meal was perfect from start to finish. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made our 8th wedding anniversary celebration truly special. Nick's drink creations were impressive and added an extra touch of elegance to our evening. Beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing his skill and creativity. We are grateful for the wonderful service from both Faith and Nick and look forward to visiting again soon.“

“Highest recommendations to our server Paola. She handled our large pre-wedding party like a pro. Great service, lots of fun. The best.“

“I am a naturalized citizen who has gone through multiple long wait, high uncertainty scenarios during my life with visas, immigration etc. Normally these places are full of unfriendly annoyed people who give more stress than comfort. I needed a passport renewal urgently for a flight I had in 2 days and so i scheduled an early appointment and headed there. The people at this agency including the person up front, the security as well as people in the agency were very helpful and the process was very efficient and organized. I still had to come back after 6 hours to pick up but overall this is a good agency and one of my better experiences. If you are stuck with a emergency need make sure you set an appt and head early.“

“I really enjoyed saints and council. It’s a beautiful addition to colony square and the restaurant is very beautiful with a calming atmosphere. The food and drinks were amazing and our server King did a phenomenal job and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10!“

“One of the best meals we’ve had in the Atlanta Metro. Great service, reasonable pricing and right on Marietta Square. Already planning our return visit.“

“Great food, good drinks, ACF $15, lots of fun! Definitely try it!“

“the best! we ordered the chicken salad sandwich and the standard breakfast. all very amazing.. and the mimosas are excellent.“

“I have been there 4 or 5 times since my last review and the good was on point. Food was so good Friday, I went back YESTERDAY and it was a hot mess. Told cashier well she had extra crispy on ticket. Crust fell right off and was not done inside. Do not like mushy5 fish.I usually have the food finish by the time I drive back to Atanta, could not eat the food.“

“Been to the Yard house several times, food is always tasty, and the service has been very good. They have a huge selection of beer, and good selection of booze. Even though I'm not a beer guy, the beer flights they had looked pretty good. Fun atmosphere to watch a broadcast game, post, pre, or during a Braves game, or just when you're looking for some good food and drinks.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ classic • elegant • unique • delicious Atlanta, The Garden Room is the place to be on any night, but weekends are amazing because you get the chance to catch their in house DJ after 9pm. Make a reservation because they are sure to be fully committed. The brilliant and talented individuals that support the service at this upscale lounge are top notch. Jennifer, one of the managers has built an amazing relationship with my spouse and I. Her attention to detail is second to none. She remembers everything that we enjoy, the flavors we love and the food compositions that excite our palate, and she delivers one of a kind specialties. A few items that should land on your bucket list to try include: •I Love Lychee Martini: the best in ATL •Not So French •Love Potion •Fresh Baked focaccia bread served with balsamic vinegar and oils •SQUASH CAPPELLETTI ♥️ Everything on the menu was delicious including the custom Lychee Bon Bon’s that the pastry chef prepared for us in advance because I love Lychee so much. Jennifer scored us a show stopping VIP booth to the DJ. Her knowledge of the lounge and the Michelin Star restaurant “Atlas” next door was impeccable. Please don’t sleep on this lounge and get there as soon as you can.“

“# My First Time
What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! 👏 🤩

I visited on Taco 🌮 Tuesday, and let me tell you, the food was absolutely delicious! 😋😋😋

The atmosphere is perfect for families, especially with their kids' buffet featuring chicken 🐔 fingers, fries 🍟, and a variety of other tasty options. It's a great spot for friends and small groups too, with plenty of flat screens to catch all the games 📺📺📺.

Despite its size, the restaurant has an intimate vibe that makes it perfect for a romantic date night under the stars 🌙.

I truly enjoyed every moment there! At the end of our meal, Austin, the manager, personally checked in with us. His kindness and genuine happiness about our experience really stood out.

As a fun surprise, we received a golden ticket 🎟✨️😀 that we can open when we return in 2025!

I can't recommend this place enough—I'm definitely telling everyone about it!“

“Loved the fondue dip and it was my Birthday surprise🎂🎂🎂“

“100% Love this place. Fresh food all the time.“

“TOL Midtown was a nice experience for a Saturday Brunch. With a party of 12; TOL had our table ready for us within 30 minutes of arrival. With it being a busy day I understand the logistics of having just enough seats for everyone. So because two of our party were not reserved they could not garner two additional chairs. We were provided options and continued with our dining. The waitress was knowledgeable and non hesitant on any questions or concerns we had. The food came out reasonably quick with awesome presentation. Drinks were dead on with one negative. The did not have any screwball so I substituted with regular Jamie son's which took away from the experience but it still had ample alcohol. I order the beef skillet with scrambled cheese eggs and a side of cheese grits. Overall good experience. They took away the stigma of the negative ATL dining experience and for that I'll be back to try more items at TOL. 📌Security 📌Outdoor Patio 📌Decent Parking 📌Awesome Staff“

“Longleaf is convenient and good. We went to the Orchid area first and then had lunch after. Make sure you make a reservation! The food was really good—great cheeseburgers and crab cakes!Then after we finished the gardens by walking around the canopy area. We had a great day!“

“absolutely phenomenal wonderful food wonderful decor and wonderful service“

“Tabby was in town and in usual Tabby flow she was exploring the atlasobscura website and came across The Consulate. As such, we decided to go. We had reservations for 06:15 on a Friday. Arriving about 20 minutes early as traffic happened to be light, we were able to be seated early without any issues. Upon entering the restaurant the hallway decor captures your attention as you focus on the selected hues of blue and artwork placement. Upon being seated we were immediately greeted by Cindy. Cindy arrived all smiles coupled with a huge personality and warm welcome. As this was our first time she took a moment to explain to us the menu selections, geographical inspiration, as well as answer the few questions we had about select items. Cindy’s education of the menu and experience with the foods added to the food deciding experience. Major shout out to Cindy. The ambiance of the restaurant is high energy, captivating and explorative. As you look around the restaurant it puts you in the mindset of being inside one of the classic true to theme castles in an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider movie. LoL! At any moment Laura Croft could walk in and grab one of the items on display and head out for her next mission. LoL! I decided on the String Beans with a side of Mexican Rice and I was more than satisfied with the flavor profile of my meal. The string beans were flavor stacked with the slight sweet from the sauce and the spice from the peppers. The texture was spot on for a true sautéed experience as well as the portion was perfect… The Mexican rice paired well with the string beans as it provided a texture variation as well as it was seasoned well but not overpowering in comparison to the string beans. This was truly a 10/10 experience. The service, the environment, and the food were all superb. Whether for a personal 2 person dinner or after work friend vibe, The Consulate is truly a must try for any occasion.“

“Early evening stop for Pac-Man and a snack. Sat at the bar with bartender Amber and she was amazing!!! Told us about all the events they have on a daily basis. We will definitely be coming back! And more often! Oh, and the sweet potato fries are 🔥“

“First time here and WILL be back ! Food was inventive and fresh, service was great (and fast !), prices surprisingly reasonable.“

“We came to Mac’s for my husband’s birthday and loved it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was classy, and the service was great. We will be back!“

“11/10 Would recommend. The staff was amazing and friendly! Great pricing, great food. I was here for work, and I didn’t even bother going anywhere else. I will definitely come back when in the Atlanta/Buckhead area!“

“This night was spectacular! The music, ambiance and food were amazing ! However, the real “WOW” was our servers, Murphey & Connor. They kept up with the “preacher, the politician and the former agent”. We laughed all night, while we enjoyed the most exceptional service around! Thank you !!!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“We really enjoyed dinner tonight for our date night! See you all again soon“

“The enchiladas were great!! Would recommend!“

“Great fun, food and drinks!!“
