“Always Fresh Food and Excellent Service“

“Great waitress Melanie and dinner great!“

“Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ordered VB via Door Dash but DD messed up and delivered to someone elses house (insert eye roll) now some else gets to enjoy it tonight too lol. I got a refund and reordered because I live near VB and have seen it a few times and wanted to try it. The order arrived and I was not disappointed in the least bit! I got the house burger and loaded it with l,t,o,p and jalapeños with Xtra cheese with seasoned fries. I added a chocolate Concrete with Hershes syrup and Oreos.... Omg. Everything was delicious, the burger was messy but a great burger needs to be a bit messy. I can't respect it if it isn't. The fries were perfectly seasoned and tasty as hell. The Concrete was sooo amazing. Definitely hit the spot on the sweetness factor. So glad I got to try it but a bit irritated with Door Dash for making me reorder and waiting even longer cause I was HUNGRY!!! Thanks VB for a very fulfilling late lunch. Definitely will recommend and will be back for more. Besides, I saw there's hot dogs too!!!“

“We love coming here to watch games as the atmosphere is really fun. The food is really good and the service is always on point. It's a great place to come after practice or a game with the kids. Staff is really friendly and keeps us coming back.“

“Great food & great service!“

“Great good great bartenders and servers. The best“

“I have started working in the area & I Googled a few restaurants in the area. I looked at Canyons menu on line. I saw that they had a Black Bean Burger so I wanted to try it. I have only had a Black Bean Burger from Thumbs Up Diner in Austell. So I decided to stop by yesterday. I am COMPLETELY hooked on the Black Bean Burger now from Canyons. I was impressed by how the restaurant was clean and how it seemed the staff was very friendly. However, it didn’t really seem the cashier was enthusiastic but I get it it! I will definitely will go back. I was able to speak with Steven and he asked about my experience. He was very nice and gracious. I’m just sorry that I didn’t take any pictures.“

“My first time here! The dining room was very clean & full of sunshine. The team was friendly & professional. Grateful to see the restroom super cleaned. We were surprised when our tray was brought to the table. The presentation was every thing! The buns were so different & fresh. The burgers neatly stacked. The fries were healthy size cuts. Loved the sauces & the size of the ketchup cups were larger than usual. Tasted so good! When we were leaving, everyone at the counter noticed that. They all waved goodbye 👋. A great fast food experience! Highly recommend.“

“stopped here for late lunch while traveling . had a Great experience , thanks to Riley ! She offered wonderful suggestions. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about her work ! We enjoyed the smoked trout dip , then , a manager brought us a complimentary appetizer ( the famous chips) simply because it was our first time at a Marlow’s! We had the fish tacos and the waygu burger . Such a fun end to our vacation. Thank you ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything is always great here that’s why I keep coming back! Morgan, Melissa Brown, Melissa Bishop always take great care of me!!!“

“This place is perfect to slip is for a light bite and casual drink with friends. I love their rooftop bar when the weather is nice, and the support they give our community is unmatched!“

“This place is AWESOME!!! The fish fry was the best. You will not be let down“

“This location once upon a time couldn’t keep a tenant. The fact that Donovan’s has been here for 15 years is a testament to the way they’ve treated us like family all these years. My goal in 2025 is to stop in my neighborhood pub more often and grab a pint (or 2) and some pub grub.“

“I've seen quite a few friends play here and and I just recently played here. Hands down my favorite spot...and it's close to home.“

“They did a great job accommodating our large party before graduation. Everything was done right, quickly, and tasted great, and our waitress was on top of everything. I’m so glad a friend recommended we try them!“

“Love the drive-through option at this location. It makes me feel like the food will come out fast and it did. Customer Service is nice and the building is pristine as I expected for the Woodstock area. I’ve eaten at City BBQ chain several times in Sandy Springs. It’s funny that most locations have the same rating (4.3 or 4.4). I believe it’s because this place is incredibly consistent. You know when you come here that you can find something good to eat. Not everything is on the wow level, but it’s good and that’s a good thing.

Not many meal deals and the menu isn’t very elaborate but some variety. The ribs and everything fried is pretty good. Prices are fair in “today’s market pricing” although at mom and pop shops you may get a bit more quantity, but maybe not as much consistency and speed.

The little brisket platter at $11.49 looks small but it was enough for me. When you add two sides & a drink + a tip if you’d like, you’re $20-$25 for a lunch barbecue brisket meal. You could get the sandwich with a side for less if you want the breading and less meat. It had a little smoked taste, which I liked, I prefer long cuts on the brisket instead of these squares, some cut thick and some cut thin. Looked dry-was a bit dry on first bite but easy to chew, when I dipped it in the barbecue sauce, it was fine. I was looking for that pink smoke rim on the meat.

I am particular about mac & cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, so to save my stomach any issues I typically pick the safer options which are green beans, baked beans, fried okra, hush puppies, french fries, onion rings. The green beans were delicious with a good amount of meat inside. Not sure if it was turkey or pork. The okra taste was delicious but because of the oil, I definitely needed that soda to wash it down. I was quite sleepy after this meal.

Overall, because of the consistency and cleanliness, I’d recommend and come back here. I could order the ribs and brisket again, wish they had more sides like collard greens, baked potato, steamed okra, peas, southern style potato salad, corn on the cobb or kernels, corn bread. It does say city BBQ, not country BBQ, lol.“

“Food and drinks are a bit pricey, but it's on the lake with a beautiful view, live music, and a lay back atmosphere. Always a nice spot to visit while on the lake.“

“Was on way to downtown woodstock to eat and decided to stop in here. 12 of us, 4pm on Saturday. They accommodated us quickly and food was delicious! Kids loved their meals as well. Service was great, very friendly and helpful with questions on menu! (Only note, they charge for extra ranch or bbq sauce for burgers)“

“Semi-early morning at IHOP. I had crepes (lemon ricotta with mixed berries). It was very tasty, my friend had blue berry pancakes. We both finished off our entire breakfast. I almost forgot we started off with the cinnamon dippers, also yummy. Service was fast, and food came out SUPER fast.“

“Really good BQ we had potato salad , Brunswick stew , fries .. i“

“Michael I need to work in Woodstock I work in Canton ga waffle house?“

“We had such a great experience thanks to our hostess, Faith Parem. She was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she really cares about the guests and pays attention to the little details that make a difference.

And fun bonus: Faith also makes really good butter! Sounds random, but it was actually delicious and added a special touch to the meal.

Overall, Faith helped make our night extra enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“This Waffle House has become our favorite. Cooks do a great job. Waitresses do a great job!!“

“Bradley was the BEST bartender and I couldn’t leave without giving the highest review possible. He made the best margarita I have had in years & was attentive and so very kind. We will come back to this location exclusively for him!“

“Very attentive staff. All are very personable and outgoing. Food is professionally prepared and has awesome flavors. Make this location part of Your weekly routine.“

“We frequently eat at the Captain D’s on Hwy 92 in Woodstock, Ga. One of the employees, Kirsten, has made the added effort to learn our names and recognize us with a broad smile when she sees us and kind friendly words of hospitality and welcome,seeing to it that we leave with a hometown feeling that our business is appreciated. When she isn’t there, we miss her. Food is dependably delicious and senior specials are a blessing.“

“beer do I need to say more“

“Did the Brunch buffet today. Everything I sampled was good to excellent. Definitely no complaints. All the staff were helpful, courteous, and smiling. JD even played a pinball game with my 2 grandsons. My only complaint, if you want to call it that,was being charged for ice tea. Trust me, that won't stop us from going again. EXCELLENT!!“

“We went to Reel on the recommendation of a nice couple we met at Refomation Brewery. We were seated promptly and ordered 2 drafts and the grilled octopus. The appetizer had grilled sliced octopus with truffled home fries, pickled red onions and a sherry mustard jus, a perfectly balanced starter. For mains we had blackened redfish with tomato crayfish butter, and pan sautéed flounder with lemon caper butter sauce. Both fish were superbly cooked. All presented food was carefully presented. All the while, we enjoyed music by Martin Joseph who we talked to and he couldn't have been nicer. Great ambience, great food, stellar night out in Woodstock.
