Dear, dear Benchwarmer's. This review will surely be mixed. My hopes weren't too high for this…read moreplace. I've passed by this nearly deserted plaza many times and never felt the urge to enter. But the urge for a burger was strong late at night and they had a special going through Uber Eats, as I'm not sure I'd have tried this place otherwise. The burger was surprising large and decent. It was undeniably tasty and prepared exactly how I ordered it which rarely happens at other places. But the fries... oh boy. Whatever oil they fried them with was undoubtedly old and nasty. I had to drown them in hot sauce to be able to eat them. My digestive system did not enjoy that decision. In term of ambience... this is a bar. No matter the time of day, the vibes will always be a bar. Very sticky. Sepia-like, with drunk, belligerent customers and cigarettes littering the storefront. Not sure I'd eat in here. But hey, I gotta give them their props for that burger. I'd definitely order it again if the craving arises, especially since I live in the neighborhood. Shout out to them for staying open late.

Service is good, Great portions, parking lot needs work…read more Those are the high points. You've been warned drive at your own risk in the parking lot. Also, the other businesses connected to the restaurant is boarded up. Between the parking lot and boarded buildings makes it very sketchy looking. Honestly speaking. Inside this is truly a bar, service and food is above average. There is a pool area in the back. Lots of TVs. Not in a rush to go back, but if a friend group wanted to go, I wouldn't be opposed.

A decent size parking lot, a round-robin of customers & I spoke to a few who are repeats- they love it! The restaurant is clean & organized- booths & tables. Charging stations (plugs) available as well. Walk up counter, place order, wait for your number to be called. Do not be in a rush- made-to-order!! Worth the wait!!! If you are not starving- split a meal with a friend- portions are huge & truly DELICIOUS!!! Ask for sauces, if you want. They have tartare, cocktail & homemade hot sauces. Fresh lemons too. Pepsi products, sweet/unsweetened tea... NO ALCOHOL! Outstanding employees! All so nice! Big menu- ask for one if needed, they have scrolling screens & it is hard to figure out. Menu is best to figure out what you want. Literally EVERYTHING was SO fresh & delicious!!! Mom thought salty, so maybe ask for light/no salt if this is a dietary restriction. They have fresh & fried options. Here are pics of our meals. All left with to-go's. Note, meals are served in to-go containers, not actual plates. The music is fun but WAY WAY WAY too loud. Heads up. I'd truly go back if in town. What an unexpected treat for dad's birthday. He was HAPPY!

They have a 100+ inch TV at one of the two bars, which is perfect for watching games. A bar like this with liquor, good food, and a great setup for sporting events or just hanging out is definitely a good time. The bartenders/waitresses, Jamir and Jessica, were very welcoming and helpful with the menu. We made it in about 5 minutes before happy hour was over, and they took care of us on the drinks, which I definitely appreciated. The food came out way faster than expected. I thought it was going to take longer, but everything came out right on time. Food was an 8/10 overall. Nothing was overly seasoned, iykyk what I'm talking about . I also got the chance to speak with the owner, Marie, and she was very cool. Had a great conversation with her, and one thing I can definitely say is she LOVES and trusts her staff. Believe me, you can tell. I'll most likely become a regular here. Definitely found a new spot to hang out, watch games, and grab some good food and drinks. .

Lunch with my wife on her birthday…read more She: fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, glass of white wine. Me: deviled eggs, Cuban sandwich with mac & cheese side, Schwartzbier lager. Appetizers were very good. She didn't care for the shrimp (a bit spicy, so we took it home for tomorrow's lunch. While the sandwich was good, it didn't seem like an authentic Cuban. Pulled pork filling. I took half of it and the mac&cheese home. Beer was very good; I hadn't heard of it before. It's from Milwaukee. Went to Laylo after for dessert/ $90 with tax and tip. It's a Resy restaurant, so I paid with Amex plat to get the credit. Excellent server.

I do use AI to write these easily, so pardon the clunkiness lol…read more The Food The menu here is a really cool take on elevated yet comfortable Southern food. After a few visits, I've tried a good variety of the menu: * **Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich:** This is served open-face and uses a mix of Sichuan and Calabrian chili. It is absolutely amazing, but fair warning: it is *hot*. Even if you're used to Sichuan spice, this one may still be tough to deal with, but it's still incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. Just keep in mind that they don't adjust the heat level for this one. * **The Greens:** These are wonderful. They have a rich, savory pork flavor and are easily a must-order for me every single time. * **Shrimp and Grits:** This has a fantastic sauce that strikes the perfect balance--not too heavy, but not watery either. My only minor wish is that they'd add some andouille sausage to it (even if raised the price), but it's still a really well-executed dish. * **Southern Pho:** Really great and super hearty. It's a comforting bowl, though probably best enjoyed during the winter months. * **Drinks:** The cocktails are always creative and well-made, and they keep a really interesting beer list on hand too. ### 2. The Ambience The vibe here is great. The interior feels like a charming, cozy little house you'd find in Savannah. I especially love the bar area, which has these really cool copper chandelier lights that give the space a warm, inviting glow. ### 3. The Service The staff has been consistently friendly and welcoming every single time I've been here. The Summary I honestly feel lucky to live close to this place. It doesn't get much love or mentions from the Atlanta social media crowd and local press (the good news is you won't encounter a lot of annoying people lol).. I'm a fan though.

We were really disappointed to see that the Brussels sprouts and Impossible burger are no longer on the menu. The replacement black bean burger just isn't for us...it's very smooshy and didn't have the texture or flavor we were hoping for. The one bright spot is that they still have the Shrimp & Grits, which is always delicious and continues to be a favorite. Hopefully they'll consider bringing back some of the old menu favorites!

I ordered a mocktail which was absolutely delicious with fresh watermelon. I ordered the bone in pork chop with a blueberry reduction, green beans and "potato salad". The potato salad is in quotes because it was more like cold whole potatoes with some seasonings on it not really reminiscent of a potato salad per se but I see what they did there. I wasn't a huge fan unfortunately. The pork chop was delicious but would recommend putting the blueberry compote on the side instead of dousing the whole plate with it. The compote was very good and not super sweet which was nice (so I didn't mind eating it with the potatoes and green beans as well). My husband ordered the sirloin steak but as you can see in the picture it looked like someone just put clumps of horseradish all over thinly sliced pieces of sirloin. That much sauce on thin pieces of meat can be a bit overwhelming. The most disappointing was the presentation, it just did not look presentable. I would say the steak still tasted very good. The corn side was also cold. The server was great, no complaints there. My favorite part of the experience was the mocktail. This place has true potential. I will definitely try it again and hope that I can boost the star rating a bit next time.

Even though we didn't have a reservation, he was able to get a table for me and five other people, which we really appreciated. Once we sat down, our server came over quickly. I ordered the gumbo as a starter, and I swear it came out within a minute of placing my order. It was SO fast! The gumbo was piping hot and even burned my tongue a little, but I'm not mad at it at all lol. It was delicious! For my meal, I got the chicken and waffles with mac and cheese, and everything was so good. The chicken was well-seasoned, the waffle was fluffy and delicious, and the mac and cheese was a great addition. I highly recommend coming here! I would definitely suggest making a reservation beforehand, especially if you're coming with a group. The food and experience are absolutely worth the price. If I'm ever back in ATL, I will definitely be coming back!

Recently went here to pick up a to go order bc I was craving catfish. Decided to revisit this…read moreplace as it has been a few years since I've been. Pick up: it use to be that you pulled up to the side door and someone would bring you order. Idk if that has changed but after waiting, then calling and being placed in a long, I just went inside and got it myself. Food: the portion size of the catfish was underwhelming for the price. I use to get 2-3 large fillets and this time I got 3 small ones. It comes with two sides, so I ordered - The mac n cheese was okay. I've def had better from them. You use to be able to add candied yams as a side but their menu has changed and it's not one of the included sides any more. The second side was cabbage and it wasn't really seasoned well. I could see and taste pepper, but that was it.

Blew Me Away Everything Was a Hit…read more This place absolutely blew me away. The atmosphere was amazing perfect dinner hangout or date spot. Great vibe without trying too hard. The food? Incredible across the board. I'm not even a big fish guy, but I got the fish and chips and loved it. That alone says a lot. Spinach dip loved it. Fish tacos loved them. Dessert loved it. Beer loved it. There's a ton of variety on the menu, and everything we tried delivered. That kind of consistency is rare. Service was over-the-top good. Attentive, friendly, and added to the whole experience. Price felt exactly right for a date night spot not cheap, but definitely worth it for the quality. Couldn't be happier with this one. I'll absolutely be back. Overall: Easy 5/5 no hesitation.
