“As always, La Grotta remains one of the best Italian restaurants around. The atmosphere is classy, so please dress accordingly, as people go for both the atmosphere as well as the food/vino. The super tuscan vino is great if you are looking for a new wine to try, you can order a glass or the bottle (I recommend bottle if there are 3+ in your party it ends up being cheaper than individual glasses). The sacchetti as well as the pappardelle are both wonderful dishes. The gnocchi is cooked perfectly if you are a gnocchi fan.“
“Sunday Brunch was really good. Chicken was seasoned well and waffles were light and fluffy! Owner had an awesome spirit about her. Music and atmosphere was on point. Our waitress was a swertheart,, I forgot her name but she had a boot on her foot! My son loved his rasta pasta... and he hates everything!!!!“
“I visited Bar Vegan last weekend with my family from out of town and we really enjoyed it! Our server Alex provided us with the greatest customer service and made sure we were satisfied with the food and drink selections. She was very friendly, down to earth, and professional. I highly recommend this place and Alex as your server!“
“Loved the atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and prompt.I love that they let you sample the sweet tea before you order it. They bring out a glass of your beverage so that you can pour your own refill instead of waiting for a waiter to get you a refill on sprite :-)We had a reservation for 9PM. The staff tried to call us to move us up but we were at a symphony and couldn't use our phones. Instead of waiting to hear from us, they automatically moved us to 8:45PM. There is a 15 minute grace period so we got there in the nick of time. That was the only draw back.We were told the kitchen closes at 9:30 so don't make a reservation too close to that time, although there are later times. Maybe that is for the bar.It is cashless and it is on the website and they tell you once you get there as well.Parking is first come first serve but they have reasonable valet. it was only $8My boyfriend had the seafood Piccadilly and mac and cheese and it was so good. I had the chicken and waffles. Be mindful of the chili butter that is on there cause it is hot. It added flavor, just not one I liked. Nothing towards the chef, I just didn't care for it, but my boyfriend smashed it lol. The chicken was seasoned really well.This is definitely a good date night or girls brunch date. Again the staff is so friendly and atmosphere is so cool!“
“Not busy and wait time for food was ridiculous! Manager not even nice about it. Fries not even hot when entrees arrived. A dragged out not very good dinner. Then my parking ticket that hostess helped validate wasn’t actually validated. Had to pay $22 to get out of deck. Too many other great restaurants in Atlanta! Don’t waste your time here!!!“
“The food was amazing and delicious and fresh and creative , and I say tasty.The service is spot on and attentive and personable and caring.The atmosphere was vibrant with a lot of energy, and I'm getting old, so forgive me for this, but just a tad loud.It is fun and get your reservation soon.“
“CYPRESS HEALTH HAS THE BEST PHYSICAL THERAPY AND OCCUPATIONAL TEAM THERE IS!! THEIR STAFF : JACKIE & MICHELLE, HAVE BOTH INSPIRED ME MORE THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN SINCE I’VE BEEN TRYING TO REHABILITATE! I JUST WANT TO PUT A BIG SHOUT OUT, A GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE FABULOUS TWO AWESOME AND HARDWORKING LADIES AT CYPRESS HEALTH REHABILITATION CENTER!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!“
“Came back for the 2nd time, and this restaurant never fails to impress me. Legit thai food, cozy vibes, and staff are amazing!!!Located right next to Lindbergh Marta Station so it is very convenient to commute for those who dont have personal vehicle“
“Red's is a special place with a magical beer garden and bamboo grove. The owners and staff are always welcoming and kind. The service and the food is delightful. Especially Red's special hot dog with the pimento cheese and fig jam! RUN to Red's today!“
“Staff was excellent, good was fantastic, music was loud enough to be heard but not so loud as to drown out conversation, lots of fantastic decorations. We went there for dinner last night and returned for lunch today. Food absolutely worth the price!!!“
“So glad to have this fantastic addition to Hapeville! Lots of specialty coffees and drinks. The pastries are so delicious and the quiche is the absolute best! All made by Chef Mario and his staff! You have to try it! More options coming soon!“
“Perfect happy hour place! Food is so good, our server was attentive and ambiance is very cool. We sat on the patio because it was so beautiful outside. The burrata only came with 2 small pieces of bread so I ordered another side of bread. I didn't realize it was a $5 up charge otherwise I wouldn't have asked for it. That was as much as the happy hour dish itself. Otherwise, everything was really good and will be returning !“
“We had Grindhouse Killer Burgers food truck for a neighborhood event today and I highly recommend them!! The food was fantastic! They were easy to work with, super kind, clean and organized! Above and beyond customer service! Just outstanding!!“

“This place is great. It’s in Atlanta. Staple where you can put church choir ropes on when you go. On certain days they have drag and karaoke. When you go on the weekends it’s a great place to dance. They also have picnic tables outside. This is a great place to be casual but also have a great time.“
“Absolutely fantastic spot! Creative and delectable dishes at surprisingly affordable prices, and delicious craft cocktails served up in an intimate environment. If I have one complaint, it's their seating policy. They don't take reservations and they don't have a hostess, so when you show up, you're competing with others for the next available table. It's...suboptimal. Nonetheless, definitely worth checking this place out. I'll certainly be back, but probably on a week night to avoid fighting fellow patrons for a table.“

“Hello fellow #foodiesofatl we want to share our Foodie Friday visit at @fontainesatl in the N. Highlands Area of Atlanta.Let's start off with the vibes. It was low key, the staff was friendly, and the food service was very quick. Speaking of the food we had some positives and some neutrals. Here is what we had:Cajun Rice Balls ❤️❤️❤️These were simply "okay". We wouldn't order them again because there was nothing special about them. We have had tons of great rice balls in Atlanta and this is at the bottom of the list. They were just dull.John's Famous Cold Crab dip with pita points❤️❤️❤️Same as the rice balls, not bad just dull. Would not order again. The pita points were a nice touch though and were warm and soft.NOLA oysters ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Okay, finally something we loved. These were amazing. We will be back for these again and will order no appetizers. We should have ordered this twice lolCatfish Seafood Basket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Cooked perfectly, not too much breading, hot and crunchy on the outside and soft and yummy on the inside. Came with really good fries with cajun seasoning.Crawfish Tails Basket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Cooked perfectly, not too much breading, hot and Crispy. This was really awesome!!The oysters and fried seafood were great. The appetizers left much too be desired. We decided if we back we will go straight in for oysters and fried seafood. We will be back for sure for the seafood!!#fontainesoysterhouse#virginiahighlands #t_vfooduniverse2024 #T_vfooduniverse #foodielover #foodbloggersofatlanta #seafoodlovers #seafoodatl #atlbites #atlantaeats #oysters #goodeats404 #atlantablogger #foodiesforlife #atlantarestaurantscene #bestofatlantaeats #foodietakeover #friedseafood #yummyeats #atlantanights #foodscene #bestfriends #atlantaga #atlantalife #atlantablogger #foodhype #foodfinders #foodreels #foodcoma #atlantafridays“
“Always DELICIOUS and Always FRESH! It was monthly date night for Hubby and I. We headed out to an early dinner. We headed in one direction but the GPS brought us back around to the AGAVE, it was Hubbies first time and he enjoyed his fried Lobster, and that AMAZING CHIPS and SALSA!! I had to grab bag and a bowl to go..it's always so FRESH!! See ya Soon ?“
“I come to Peacock a lot. I love the vibe & deals offered on sundays But my favorite part is the customer service from server Nay. She make sure you feel unforgotten. It gets busy in Peacock but Nay makes the experience even better there. If you're looking for a vibe this is the place. & make sure you ask for Nay.“
“We just had the most amazing brunch at our r of my long-time favorite spots in the city! Steak and eggs were great and my dining g party all commented on how good the food was. Also our server, David, could not have been more pleasant and attentive.Parking: Large free parking lot across Highland Ave!“
“My husband and I ate here last Wednesday. It was our 1st visitWe each had the bacon Bleu cheeseburger. His medium, mine medium rare. Both cooked perfectly. We live an hour away so we won't be here often.Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We wish you were closer.“
“Solid sandwich spot on Marietta st. I had the Apollo 13 and french onion soup and the sandwich soup combo was solid. I would definitely recommend trying this spot at least once if you're in the area. This location is walkable if you're on the Ga Tech campus.“
“What An Experience!This was the first time my friends and I came here and I am SO GLAD we did! We enjoyed awesome food, great karaoke and the vibes were on point.I misplaced my phone and the general manger made sure he found me and handed it to me. I live for the moments of genuine humanity. Thank You!!“
“Went for brunch and arrived a little after 11am. We were seated immediately & greeted by a wonderful & attententive waitress. She made great food recommendations & even informed us of which items contained coconut due to food allergy. The mimosas were delicious as well as the food we ordered. Dj arrived around 12:30 & played a great selection of music. We plan to visit again with more friends.“
“Me and a colleague visited for lunch on a Thursday. The service and atmosphere was amazing! The food was good but not as good as I was expecting. The sweat potato fries were really good but shrimp tacos were just okay. It was missing something. My colleague did enjoy her grouper and coleslaw. I would recommend this restaurant!“
“One of the best restaurants I've been to! Visited Atlanta for a few days and tried their brisket sandwhich, collard greens, banana pudding, and salted honey pie. Everything was outstanding! Collard greens had a strong beef flavor, and were spicy and savory. Never had anything like it!“
“This was a spontaneous stop for us for lunch and we were so pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. To start, the margaritas were excellent! Very bright and refreshing. The service was friendly, the ambience was fun, and the seafood was INCREDIBLE. We ordered the beef empanada, tostadas de mariscos, tostadas salvaje del mar, and calamari. Very generous portions with all of the seafood toppings and the whole experience was chef's kiss. Definitely worth the stop and can't wait to be back.“
“2nd time @ 26 Thai Kitchen. Both times… excellent service & delicious food. Very tasty, healthy, flavor & served hot. Our server was Trey & he was wonderful! Will go back again. Also prices are not bad & they take reservations.“
“My wife and I have come here multiple times and it never disappoints. Great food that is full of flavor, great draft beer options, and great portions. Highly recommend the Pho bowls, but you can also just go for classic barbecue sandwich or the new chicken tender sandwich that is truly the best chicken tenders we’ve had in ATL.“
“Noisy! Great food! Bring your friends and your money to this one. The only thing missing here is music. There might’ve been some in the background, but it is so noisy that you can’t hear it. The food is absolutely exquisite. Brunch was perfectly cooked. The coffee is to die “
“I love the gender neutral bathroom and the ambiance. I do hate the wait times are so long but overrall it was a nice adult only space. the band was good too but the music should definitely be more inclusive I love rock and live bands but definitely add some funk, hip hop etc“
“This is my first time and my boyfriend took me for my birthday. There is a parking garage connected to it so you’re not having to fight for it. But we went on a Monday so it could be different on the weekends. The space is big and there’s two levels to it. James the manager really made our experience very special and took care of us. Will definitely come back. Thank you JAMES!“
“Been going to the local for a long time and it's an Atlanta staple. Always a great experience every time. And the bartenders and staff are friendly and kind, and hilarious? I dunno you guys put a smile on my face when I leave the bar. Y'all should do stand-up or improv.“
“Loved this spot. Came with a pretty big group and managed to eventually find seating. Bartender was hilarious and liked him a lot. Saw a review call it a tikki bar and agree. The entrance is a coffin. Loved the vibes I ordered the Zombie cocktail and it was great! Only found this zombie drink a few places and I was glad that they lived up to their name. Had a great time and definitely will be back!“
“When I say you can eat anything here and be amazed, you would think I am a lier. Why? Because no one is perfect right? Wrong! Ninos could be the best Italian restaurant in the country. Consistent, traditional and precise to the old country.“
“Didn’t get to experience the roof due to the rain. The place was phenomenal chic decorations. Excellent service and the food was off the chain. I had the fried catfish it was seasoned and fried to perfection. Our table tried several of the dinner options everyone was very pleased with their meal. Drinks were fabulous!!!!? A nice change off the beating path“
“Initially we were disappointed at the reduced menu options compared to our last visit and there may be people who wouldn't find choices that they liked. I had two small plates rather than a larger dish. My mussels were really very good and the scallops were even better. The service was excellent. Prices are a bit steep, but I was very happy with my food and with the service.“
“My cousins invited me here for brunch while I was in town and it was spot on. The food was savory. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs. She was detail-oriented and recommended some great items for us to try. I frequent the area a lot so we will definitely be back.“
“Spacious facility, good beer-drinks and food! I had the spicy pizza, hazy Jane IPA and samples of the Elvis IPA,and this sour which began with a “F”-forgot the name..all the beer is good My waiter Damian was great!! Definitely recommend this spot across from Krog Street Market“
“I had an incredible dining experience at Elsewhere Brewing! The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Double Smash Burger, and it was hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. The two perfectly smashed patties were juicy and flavorful, topped with melted American cheese, diced onions, pickles, and Frank's secret sauce, all nestled in a soft Martin's Sesame Seed Bun. I decided to add a fried egg and bacon, which took the burger to the next level. The side Caesar salad was a nice touch, providing a fresh and crisp contrast to the rich burger. My friend opted for the House Chicken Sandwich with a customized twist. They added seasonal vegetables to their order, which came alongside the sandwich and fries. The grilled chicken breast was topped with fresh lettuce, red onion, and ranch dressing, served on a bun. The colorful medley of seasonal vegetables added a healthy and tasty dimension to the meal. My friend thoroughly enjoyed their personalized dish and was impressed with the quality of the ingredients. To complement my meal, I ordered an old fashioned, and it was simply perfect. The cocktail was well-balanced, with a large ice sphere and a citrus garnish, showcasing the bartender's skill and attention to detail. The food presentation was excellent, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. The prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Elsewhere Brewing to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere. The staff's willingness to accommodate customizations was a big plus. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu offerings and to enjoy another one of their expertly crafted cocktails.“

“My 8 year old twin boys say it’s the best in the world! Amazing amazing service and value! We are from Florida on vacation and went 2 nights in a row!Parking: It’s in the frontKid-friendliness: The kids ramen meal is beyond spectacular!“
“First time coming here was a great experience. From the time I walked through the door I was greeted by every staff member which made me feel very welcomed. Walking in and looking around reminded me of the show “cheers”. I also enjoyed the great and rotation selection of local beers and the honest feedback from the bartenders. It seems to be a great neighborhood bar where people from the area frequent. The only recommendation is I wished the had a variety of oyster options and be careful with the horseradish, a little goes a long way but overall great experience and I will be returning.“
“Not sure how I haven’t posted a review of this place yet.But this is hands down my favorite place for cocktails in Atlanta. The service is great, the atmosphere is beautiful, there are great outdoor and indoor options, and it is dog friendly! Plenty of natural light inside and the chairs/decor are very cute.Highly recommend for anyone getting drinks on the beltline!“
“The vibes of a pub mixed with some innovative food options.Came here with the family on a Sunday night and it was warm enough that the outdoor seeing was open.The beer menu is decent with quite a few local options on draft. Make sure to check though as a few were tapped out for us.I had the Smoked Wings and loved the flavor. Just the right amount of spice to give them a kick but not so much you can't enjoy them.They have an entire kids menu as well with quite a nice selection. My kids got the cheeseburger and fish and chips, with the latter being so good I'll be ordering the adult size when I come back.Parking: There's a lot next to the place with quite a few spots, with plenty of street parking nearby.Kid-friendliness: There's an entire kids menu with many options.Wheelchair accessibility: Looks to be easy to enter and enjoy in a wheelchair with a good amount of space inside.“
“No complaints here. The food was decent and it’s your typical bar scene. I only had a chicken ceasar salad and it was very good and flavorful. The beer is better than the cocktails. Asked for a tequila lemon drop and idk what I received but I drank it. ??“
“I had the seafood penne pasta, it's loaded with salmon, shrimp and muscles. I opted for no muscles. The cream sauce for the pasta was very watery! They left the tail skin on the shrimp that you have to peel everytime you eat one (super messy). Service was great. Drinks were nice and strong! I got the Paloma w Hennessy instead of tequila.“
“The hostess was welcoming and made sure we were comfortable with our seating. Our waitress was nice and very helpful with the menu. They changed the tv to the game we wanted to see. The overall atmosphere was great. The food and drinks were good.“
“This place is a true gem especially if you like wings. When I went out didn't take me long at all to get my food. The wings were so crunchy and delicious, couldn't get enough of it. Mac and cheese was delicious as well.... Wish the Mac and cheese portion was a little bigger that's my only tiny complaint also wish it was open more often. Other than that I'd spend a good deal of my little money here.“
“I wish I could give it more stars. This is one of if not the best establishment in Atlanta. The drinks are reasonable, the service is efficient and the atmosphere is always what you want from a jazz club. The musicians that play here are incredibly talented. Masters of their craft. The kitchen has been closed down for a while (could still be) but the food was phenomenal as well. I hope they bring the food back soon. Places like this really are special and increasingly rare nowadays“
“great drinks, friendly bartenders and a cool atmosphere. they have regular events like karaoke and dungeons and dragons. they also rotate the arcade machines periodically throughout the year, i believe the current selection is available to view on their website but has many popular 80s and 90s multiplayer arcade games in various genres. they also have a room with couches, pinball and board games. there is an outdoor fenced in smoking section as well. the frozen mixed drinks are a personal favorite of mine. in the past they've sometimes had pop-up restaurant concepts hosted but don't, to my knowledge, ordinarily serve food of their own. great date spot, or to go with friends and play some games. it would be fun even without drinking if you're just wanting to play games.Parking: parking is catch as catch can. there are some paid lots in the area, as well as some limited street parking. but on a busy night, it can be tricky to find a space sometimes.“
“I usually order ChilI’s via DoorDash, but decided to actually go in today. I was very PLEASANTLY surprised by the great service I received and from two high school students at that. My transaction was a little complicated and my server Devonique very patiently worked with me to get my order placed correctly. She was so professional, well trained, (which I say because I’ve previously experienced issues trying to use a giftcard) and very kind to my two children that couldn’t stop arguing. Another server named Mia also assisted and was equally as kind and professional. The manager had to step in as well and was very nice also. We will for sure be visiting again and I’m so happy to see a restaurant in Stonecrest doing things the RIGHT way!Kid-friendliness: They’re patient with kids.“
