“The food was really good. The experience was great too. Carolyn was our host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Ashley was our server and she did a good job giving us her recommendations and making sure all our needs were met.“

“The food is fantastic, and the staff always makes my family feel welcomed. Charlie, the owner, is awesome as well. The interior is very clean and has a nice ambiance. My favorite things to order there are the bacon deluxe burger, strawberry field salad, or the cod dinner.“

“Been here soooo many times and has been great each time except today when I try something new, delux chicken sandwich it was kinda terrible just the chicken was nasty I ended up just eating the veggies off the sandwich and the fries which were killer sooo good. Wish I got a burger instead“

“Good food and great place for karaoke Friday night“

“I was very impressed by this restaurant. Everything about it was outstanding The plate had so much food on it, carry outs Were needed. The waitress was awesome! This is my go and eat, spot now. I recommend this place.“

“I've visited The Bowl @ Sugar Hill several times, but this was my first time eating at the Tavern. We were seated immediately. Our server name London was exceptional!! We made it just in time for Happy Hour and had the wings. She recommended the roasted ones and they were absolutely delicious and there was not a long wait for them. London checked on us throughout our time there and was very attentive. She had a great personality and wonderful customer service skills. Make sure you get seated in London's section, she will make your dining experience top tier! I also called the restaurant after the visit to make sure management knows what great service she provided!“

“10 out of 10. One of the best burgers we have had! Loaded potato salad, DELICIOUS! Banana Bread Pudding parfait was amazing! Definitely try this place out!“

“Whoever the Red Knight was for the September 5th show at 4 PM...THANK YOU for making my nephew’s night! ❤

He was so emotionally invested in you specifically. He was crying when you fell to the ground and cheering SO loudly when you defeated one of your opponents. 😂 It was absolutely adorable to watch!

We also LOVED EJ! He did such an amazing job helping my nephew emotionally regulate when the Red Knight was down. That small interaction meant so much to us and made the experience even more special.

This was truly an unforgettable experience for my nephew, my niece, and our family. Thank you to the cast for making the show so engaging, exciting, and memorable! ❤“

“When we lived in Cumming over 9 years ago, we came to Aqua Terra occasionally and loved it. Then we moved to Alpharetta and it was too far away, so we haven't visited for that long. We're moving to Auburn and after a walk through at our new home, decided to come back to try it again to see if it was a good as we remembered. I'm happy to say that it is, and we'll be coming back again since we're close. The food and service is excellent. The bread and dipping sauce which they're known for was exactly as we remembered it and is so delicious. I would come for that alone. I'm so happy that they're still around and seem to be thriving, and we'll definitely be back!“

“Original menus that change daily, or there about. Every time I visit Georgia I get Rico’s for dinner. Food is always delicious and the flavors are original. Truly the chef’s restaurant! It’s usually a yearly birthday thing also. I appreciate his use of fresh local ingredients and his support of local growers. We can all pay it forward when we start with the best ingredients and intentions. It’s a good thing…..“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Tam's! They catered our son's wedding and not only was the food absolutely amazing, the service went above and beyond! Perfect in every way!“

“We love this place! The menu is thoughtful and purposefully keeps the calorie count limited while not sacrificing flavor. There are also seasonal dishes. Highly recommend the filet, lamb loin and brussel sprouts. The desserts are also delicious (served in a shot glass so you can try more than one!). They also cater to your special occasion in small but very sweet ways. Atmosphere is great, general dinner conversation and not too loud. Service is always impeccable!“

“The Food is really good especially the burgers and the staff is super friendly i highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a different place to eat“

“AMAZING service ! And even better connections ! Greeted with warm smiles and great food ! Our family stop every Sunday ♥️☺️“

“Great vibe. Good food. Perfect for a date night“

“Absolutely stellar. We had the fried green tomatoes, seasonal halibut, and the salmon dish. Everything was amazing and our server Stephen (forgive me if the spelling is incorrect) was so accommodating. I love the overall vibe of the restaurant. Their chef is a genius. We were visiting from Atlanta but I'd gladly make the trek to experience this meal again. Thanks for making our day special!

PS, I dream about that lemon zest risotto and your bacon jam every night. If you guys decide to jar that jam, I would gladly buy in bulk lol.“

“Great Gwinnett 1818 Club is the best“

“My wife and I found this spot today for Sunday Brunch and it was fantastic! I had the Short Rib Hash and my wife had the Salmon Benedict. A fabulous cocktail and Creme Brulee for dessert. Service was also great!“

“Had such a wonderful dinner experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service truly made the night even better. Our server, Omar, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of.

Thank you, Omar, for making our dinner such a great experience! We’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.“

“This place is excellent! The service is outstanding, and the food quality truly stands out. I’ve tried wings, burgers, and fried rice from many different places, and these were among the best—flavorful without being oily.
The chicken wings are especially impressive: very fresh (they use fresh wings, not frozen), perfectly cooked, and well-balanced—not overly salty or over-fried. They’re tender, flavorful, and done just right.
Highly recommended!!!!!“

“Long time patrons of Pigtails on Lake Lanier. Great vibe and atmosphere, menu has a wide variety of good eats, and the servers and bartenders are always fun, energetic and hustling. Brook waited on us last night for dinner at the bar and we had a great time hanging out with her. Love a server that adds to the fun factor! Thanks Brook! ❤“

“Christy catered our wedding reception and words cannot describe how satisfied we are! We told her the style of our wedding and she created a menu based on the price range we wanted and everybody loved it. The desserts were delicious as well and she did a great job with our cake too.“

“Servers are gorgeous“

“I love the vibes here and all the staff are so kind and friendly. Great place to hang out and chill for a bit with a great cup of coffee :)“

“Edith, our server, gives outstanding service. She is extremely personable and entertaining as well as a good server.“

“We are so excited that the Covington location at the Town Center is now open!!! The WNB food truck catered our daughter’s graduation party in May. We’re so glad to have a brick & mortar location in Covington!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Wings were on point. Crispy, spicy and tangy. The Gyro had plenty of meat and enough of veggies and sauce. The fries were nice and crispy but soft inside. Everything was hot & fresh and full of flavor. I have ate at this food court many times but was always curious to try this place out, and let me tell you it didn't dissapoint! I very much enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back.“

“we came in town for a meeting for some WWE stuff and made our way to your place the name was what cought us. we had a young girl by the name of Averanna 5 out of 5 knock out service Mahalo“

“We celebrated my dad’s 70th birthday today and the food was fantastic! Our server was AMAZING. I forget her name but she handled our table of 16 like a champ! Wonderful experience today!“

“Had good time playing dart tournament. It’s been years since played but I will be back“

“This is a awesome restaurant, BBQ Brisket, Sausage, Chicken are phenomenal but that damn cobbler will take you straight to my Mama's kitchen in 1979. As the oool kids say nowadays OMG Good!

The management deserves 5 stars too for hiring such wonderful staff. We appreciated them as much as the food, smiles everywhere.“

“LOVE the Johns Creek location. Reagan is an awesome server. Lots of regular patrons. So many new menu items. The salt and vinegar wings are so good“

“Looking for a place to have a Bridal Brunch and this place checks 4 of the 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Was hoping for a shrimp and grits on the menu, but with that said let me say that what I had was delicious. I had the raspberry mimosa, toasted croissant with chicken salad, and the cucumber salad. The complimentary raisin scones were fabulous. It made front runner for our brunch. The service was delightful. All in all it was 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.“

“We ordered the chopped steak, grilled salmon, and grilled chicken sandwich with mushrooms. The meat is very good quality and cooked just right. Plenty of real mushrooms, onions, and gravy. The portions are good too, I’m full. I am saving the sandwich for later but it looks great!“

“Very delicious. and very clean.“

“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.“

“If you're looking for a casual place near the lake to enjoy a nice marina view, not too loud and crazy, and good food, Fish Tales is a great spot for families, a friend meet up or a casual date. Bonus for families with kids - there's a giant sand box and chairs to watch your kids while enjoying your favorite summer beverage (responsibly, of course.) Although we usually sit at the bar (which is on the small side so if you're looking for a beach bar atmosphere then this is not that vibe.)“

“I was with a group of four. Everyone ordered something different. I ordered the fish & chips. I received two pieces of heavily battered & fried white fish. One piece of fish I could barely cut. The other no problem. I probably should have said something to the waitress but I didn’t want to start over. The fries were nothing special. Overall for bar type food it was subpar.

We had boiled peanuts for a starter. They were way overcooked.

I regret not having anything positive to say about the food. I do like the place. I would just say the food, at least my dish, was disappointing.“

“What a treat. Great service. Best breakfast food I've had in a long time. and the biscuits! wow!“

“Five stars for Yenifer (Jennifer)! I placed a takeout order at Bitemore, and she was absolutely amazing. She went out of her way to update me on all the ongoing deals and patiently helped me navigate the app to get the best value. She was so sweet, helpful, and ensured my entire order was perfect.“

“The best BBQ, brisket, and chicken I’ve had in as many years as I can think. Their slaw and Mac-n-cheese was spot-on as well. Very friendly folks with fast service. Prices are reasonable.“

“Went to Station House today and absolutely enjoyed it! Chicken and Dumplings, cream corn, and THE BEST squash casserole I’ve ever had! The owner even came out and chatted with me! Service was excellent also! Live in Blue Ridge, so I’ve tried a lot of mom-and-pop, meat-and-threes between here and there. If you’re in Cumming DEFINITELY try them out!“

“Great little spot and very fast service. Got the bacon double cheese burger and it was very, very good! Best part, it was cheaper than some crappy Ronald M burger! Been here twice and it was great both times. Gotta try their breakfast next!“

“City BBQ is by far the best bbq I have ever had….and I have tried them all. They are always consistent and they have numerous and fabulous sides. Their customer service knows how to treat their customers. If they make an occasional mistake, they always make it right, and then some. I am always a hit at family pool side gatherings when I bring the Mother Load! ?“

“If you’re craving authentic Indian food with proper Telugu spice, this is the place! The food was “next level,” the service was super friendly, and the atmosphere was full of good vibes. Ate with a full heart and left with a happy smile.“

“The food and service is amazing!!“

“This was the best brunch food I’ve had in a long time, by fair. I had the cheesecake French Toast, veggie omelette and creamy grits. Delicious!!!“

“The sausage biscuit would be much better if the patty was larger. Winds up being much more bread than meat.“

“Had a wonderful experience with Karen as our wait staff. She was delightful and took very good care of us. Our food was delicious, fresh and healthy protions. Karen made our dining experience enjoyable!! We will definitely be back and ask for Karen. She is wonderful!!!!!!“

“Outstanding Food and Overall Experience! - Reservation for 8 to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday (4:30 on a Friday). We almost changed our mind, because we learned my oldest daughter and her hubby had a bad experience at this restaurant in 2021. So glad we gave it another chance. Restaurant is under new management, and it shows! From the greeters at the door with smiles making a first impression, to a personable, attentive server (LeLe), excellent food and engagement by the manager being visible and interacting with guests - it was well worth our time. Total enjoyment! Our group had the snapper, salmon, shrimp & grits, catfish and one vegetarian who made a meal from the sides. Food was beautifully plated and presented and everything was hot & fresh, well seasoned and tasted great. Generous portions too. We also had the bourbon glazed brussels, skillet cornbread and the sticky ribs as appetizers. HIGHLY recommend the brussels and the ribs!! It was the first day testing the ribs, so you may have to ask for them, if they're not on the menu yet. Appreciated the free birthday dessert! If you had a previous bad experience over the last couple of years, you may want to try again. The new manager has the right attitude and a good vision for setting a new standard for The Parkside District. Keep it up! We will definitely visit again. We are glad to recommend the restaurant!“
