    Spent the day in DT Cartersville recently and stumbled upon Ate Track Bar & Grill. We sat at the bar and enjoyed drinks, fried pickles, and burgers/wraps. The service was nice enough, but the food and ambiance is really what made this spot for me. The fried pickles were crispy and loaded with herbs, making for a very flavorful app. The ambiance of Ate Track is also super cool. Tons of old school decor lining the walls, with something new catching your eye every time you look up.

    Patio / front door entrance.  No pets sign.

    We walked in at 12:27 PM on a Saturday in February to an empty restaurant with a half empty patio and were told that it would be a 30 minute wait for a table... we were too short on time to wait. The online menu looked appealing and we were looking forward to trying it. Maybe next time? It seemed like a beautiful restaurant with polished wood and antique fixtures for the minute we got to glance around.

    I don't know what's happened here, but we used to really enjoy the food here. Their burgers were reliably great and all of their bowls (salmon, pesto chicken, and even veggie) were really flavorful. We hadn't been back in a couple of years but finally got a chance to revisit. The burger wasn't bad but also wasn't anything special at all. The pesto chicken bowl tasted nothing at all like I remembered. Boring seasonings, simple stir fry of some onions and peppers, and where were the yummy special mushrooms? Yes, there were mushrooms, but simple/cheap ones with no flavor. Boo. Also: $3 for a can of coke seems a bit over the top. The vibe at the place has always been a bit noisy and not particularly physically comfortable but I don't remember it smelling like stale beer. When we walked in I was transported to my college years when we were cleaning up after a party the morning after. Not in a good way. There is much better food just steps away - Coastal and Table 20 come to mind. One final annoyance: I'm cool with allowing everyone their political preference but it seems like bad business practice to post signs around the place disparaging one side of the aisle.

    We came here for lunch with a group of colleagues and were seated right away. Sip trio hit the spot. Guacamole was everyone's favorite. I got a burger with sweet potato fries and enjoyed it to the fullest

    Fish tacos with beans & rice.

    This place NEVER disappoints! We've been here over the years and it has really maintained the quality and service that we've come to love. The decor is fun and is music themed. Our recent waitress was extremely attentive and kept our waters topped off!! The tacos we got came with rice and beans. The beans were that good! We also got a side salad for $5 with our meal. It was really a nice salad with eggs, tomatoes, cheese, candied nuts and cucumber !! Yes please.

    Love going to this restaurant it is a total different vibe. It is a very small restaurant with 70s and 80s music playing. The whole restaurant is decorated in old rock 'n' roll, posters and albums, and just nostalgic from the 70s and 80s Just a very cool place to grab a bite. Something totally different. The food is amazing no matter what I order. It is always fresh and combinations you were just not expect that are delicious And the service is always top-notch. The waitresses are very attentive to your needs and always have a smile on their face.

    My better half and I were in Cartersville for business and decided to try a restaurant in downtown for a late lunch. I suggested Ate Track and we decided to give them a try. Upon entry into the restaurant, we were greeted by a smiling and friendly hostess. There are two dining areas in this festive place which is full of memorabilia from the 1970s. I love the play on words in their name as 8 track tapes were prevalent in the '70s. We were seated in the dining area on the right hand side on Ate Track. This dining area also houses their bar. Our server appeared quickly and was also both friendly and helpful. My better half asked about the steak sandwich and our server said it was one of her favorites. Based on numerous positive reviews on Yelp, I ordered the fish and chips. My better half's selection of the steak sandwich was the star of our meal. It comes with a selection of a side and is served with "Horsey" sauce which is a delicious horseradish based sauce. She is still raving about the depth of flavor in the steak sandwich Although many have raved about the fish and chips on Yelp, I found the breading to be too THICK and greasy. I will not order the fish and chips again but many Yelpers find it satisfying. It is served with tartar sauce. I asked if they had a remoulade sauce but our server said they did not. So I asked for a Horsey sauce and mixed it with ketchup to make my own Remoulade sauce. The chef may want to copy my sauce creation and offer it to diners. All in we really enjoyed our first trip to Ate Track and recommend that others give them a try when you are in Cartersville.

    You can find Ate Track at 25 N Wall St, Cartersville, GA 30120. This is near the end of a row of buildings with plenty of free parking out front and to one side under the elevated bridge on the left. There is an active rail-line on the other side of parking so be aware that it may be blocked during certain times of the day. There's a handful of restaurants and many shops nearby, including two museums (the Bartow Museum has limited hours and is a quick tour, but the Boothe is well worth the visit and worth coming more than once). I've now eaten twice at At Track - both times the food was excellent and the service exceptional. The restaurant has a full-bar to the right of entry with high tables - I've eaten there both times. There's also limited seating at tables in front of the restaurant - may be worthwhile in the evenings or when it's not too hot. The interior is filled with music nostalgia with posters on the ceiling, records and album covers on the walls, a bunch of ticket stubs and vintage stereo equipment behind one end of the bar. The air is festooned with many different pendant lights for an eclectic look. Item's I've tried: * Parmesan Potato Chips - Fresh fried potato chips dusted with herbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Served with delicious cotija/blue cheese and vidalia bacon dipping sauces - these were delicious and remind me a bit of the Bleu Chips we used to make at the Buckhead Diner. Both the sauces are also offered as dressings - the blue cheese is actual, I believe a Ranch dressing with cotija cheese crumbles added - delicious. The Vidalia bacon is smokey and sweet - also delicious. * Fried Fish Tacos - fried cod topped with slaw mix, avocado crema, tomatoes, and cilantro. These really reeked when they hit the table but a bit of lemon (which I asked for - probably should have been a garnish) hid most of the smell. They tasted fine. * Fish and Chips - classic wet battered cod served with fries. These were excellent - so hard to find real fish and chips (they're supposed to be cod, dammit!). * Tequila Chicken - Grilled marinated chicken breast brushed with tequila lime butter. Served with jalapeno cheese grits and sautéed green beans. I liked this a lot but the green beans were a bit hammered - tasted fine just over-cooked. Our servers were great both times with plenty of tea refills. Since we had visiting the Boothe we seemed to get some stares and I heard a few comments about how we were "different" - just city folk visiting the lovely Cartersville. We went to Coconuts afterwards for Ice Cream.

    If you like bourbon, you need to order the "Beast of Bourbon" cocktail. It is amazing. I ordered the Pesto Chicken Bowl and it was so yummy! We had the Crème brûlée cheesecake another time we ate here and it was really good! You cannot beat the atmosphere. It's a GenXer's paradise. Our waitress was on point but the host could use some work.

    I wouldn't return. The food was mediocre and service wasn't much better.. Maybe the owners should try another industry to work in.

    I had the shrimp and salmon special a few days ago. It came with jalapeño grits and was one of the best meals I ever had.

    Great service and fun atmosphere. Just get there before 8:30. They do close early with the rest of downtown during the week.

    Good menu selection but better ambiance! Takes you back to the 70's with the music and TV shows playing. Decorations are fantastic!
