Where do I begin…read more..... Convenience-I love the fact that you can access this restaurant without having to enter the mall. It's definitely also a plus that you have a full mall parking lot to take advantage of without any need to pay for parking. Ambiance-The aesthetics are truly beautiful within this establishment! The pops of color, the light fixtures, the rose wall, the mirrored hallway...all very lovely and pleasing to the eye! Customer Service-From the hostess stand to the bar, waiter, and management, I give it a 10/10! Everyone was friendly, respectful and accommodating without question. My waiter was Will, and he showed the utmost level of outstanding customer service the entire visit! He gave wonderful recommendations regarding the menu, and he checked on us with just the right amount of consistency. He was friendly, personable, and kind! He genuinely wanted to make sure that the experience was memorable and it showed brightly & authentically! Food-I had the Fried Salmon Bites, Traditional Waffles & Fried Lobster, and Peach Cobbler. It was all cooked to perfection with such flavor! I had a lovely Wild berry drink that was very delicious. There was no wait, no crazy lines, and no pretentiousness. K+K is doing things right, and I thank you!

I had a very disappointing experience at Kitchen and Kocktails. The customer service was extremely…read morepoor from the moment I arrived. I came in on a Saturday for a 6:15 PM reservation for a party of four. I arrived first on time and my first guest arrived at 6:20 PM. I was told I had to wait till the rest of my party arrived. I set at the bar while waiting for the rest of our party. My friend approached the hostess stand to ask if we could be seated as a party of two . Also, advised the Mexican girl that it will be only 3 but, we don't have to wait for her cause she's not gonna be eating since we're on a time schedule and was attending an event. The hostess was very rude and dismissive, stating "that's not how it works" in an unprofessional tone. Later, another hostess came over and said our reservation had "run over" at 6:35 PM, even though we were already in the restaurant before our reservation time window had passed and there were clearly open tables available. The restaurant wasn't packed at all. When we asked again about a table for two, we were told we could either sit at the bar or wait. The interaction felt very unwelcoming and unprofessional. We told the hostess we wanted a table for two to sit down and eat . The black hostess said , so you want to stay at the bar or you want a table . I said a table. She said , the bar ‍I said no a table. She then said that they could refuse service if we had an attitude, which was not the case . I simply answered her question by saying no . Told her I didn't know that saying no is me having an attitude. At that point, we chose to leave and not spend our money there due to the poor customer service and the rudeness of the hostess. Overall, the staff we interacted with on June 20th at 6:15 PM were rude and unprofessional and clearly need better customer service training. Based on this experience, I understand why there are so many negative reviews.

We were in town for a concert and my birthday, and decided to go for a nice breakfast for my…read morebirthday. Did some online research and kept coming back to Buttermilk Kitchen. Couldn't have been happier with our choice. Reviews I'd seen online mentioned parking is a bit limited and that the restaurant is frequently busy. So we were prepared for that even though we were going on a Thursday mid morning. I think there was an influx of people celebrating graduations because it was in fact very busy. However we got very lucky with parking and happened to come in right as someone was leaving. I was sure we would have a wait for a table, which of course would have been fine, but actually we were seated immediately! Which was super nice and unexpected. The atmosphere is bustling but not in a bad way. The restaurant itself is adorable and has a lot of character. It feels like you're having breakfast at an old friend's house. The service was great and our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. I ordered a specialty coffee, I believe it was the almond joy cold brew, and it was delicious. Strong, which is how I like it and not overly sweet. I ordered the chicken biscuit on the waiter's recommendation and it was absolutely the best fried chicken I've ever had. Juicy and crispy. My husband ordered the pimento cheese omelette and was very happy with it, the bacon was thick cut and smoky and flavorful. The pimento cheese grits that came on the side for me were also a stand out, such great flavor. The biscuits are fantastic and the blueberry basil jam that came with my husband's meal was such a nice touch. We will absolutely make a point to come back to Buttermilk Kitchen next time we visit the Atlanta area.

TL;DR: Super cute spot with decent breakfast offerings and great staff. Don't go out of your way to…read morecome, but worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. First things first: the Chicken Biscuit. Buttermilk Kitchen's biscuit is on the crunchy, honey-flavored side. I personally prefer fluffier, more buttery biscuits, so this one wasn't my favorite. That aside, the chicken was crispy and well-seasoned and paired well with the cheese grits. If you ever wanted a dry, crunchy version of Homegrown's Comfy Chicken Biscuit, come give this a shot. I also tried the Hash Bowl, which was a bit underwhelming. It was a *lot* of potatoes compared to the eggs and bacon bits, and there wasn't a lot of seasoning other than the bacon. Would rather recommend one of the other options if you end up visiting. The drinks are good as well, would recommend the matcha latte (not too sweet!) and the French Press coffee.

The tenders weren't over cooked so it was nice and juicy. Ha! Cornbread was addictively good. Mac cheese was straight and the collards had a kick. They were open late so I would order again. Especially if I'm craving their menu items.

While I know many come for the food, I personally make the 25-minute drive for one thing: the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Or at least, I used to. Lately, it seems like something has changed in the process. The cheesecake hasn't been setting properly, and the cream cheese isn't fully blended into the sweet potato, leaving noticeable chunks. The flavor, once rich and decadent, has also diminished, making me question if it's still worth the trip. That said, I've heard the rest of the food is still solid, so if you're craving Southern comfort food, it may still be worth checking out. But for me, unless the cheesecake returns to its former glory, I might have to sit this one out.

The vibe is cozy but still upscale -- like a mountain lodge right in the middle of the city. Perfect if you're coming from shopping around Perimeter or just want a laid-back spot with really good food. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, but what really stood out was how welcoming the atmosphere is. It's one of those rare places where you can bring friends, kids, or even go for a casual date and it still feels like a great experience. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal even better. You can tell the staff actually cares about making sure guests enjoy themselves because I have two 1yr olds with me and still got to enjoy adult life. If you're in the Perimeter area Eli the waiter and Colby hooked a mom up and looking for a place that has great food, good energy, and a menu with tons of options, this spot is definitely worth trying. I'm always exploring great restaurants around Atlanta and sharing honest reviews. Follow me if you want to discover more hidden gems and family-friendly spots around the city!

What a great lunch break. I work nearby but had never visited this spot across the parking lot…read morefrom Perimeter Mall. It was recommended by a friend so I checked it out. Everything was really good. I did the All American Burger with fries and a soda. Service was fast and responsive. She offered to get me a to go cup for my drink without being asked. Atmosphere was great. I love that you can see into the kitchen ensuring everything is clean and proper. The only negative was the price. I thought I read $12.95 on the menu. When the bill came it was $17.95. Maybe I saw sandwich only or just mis read it. Ad a drink, tax, and a tip and my lunch was nearly $28. I can't do that every day. But it was nice as a treat.

I've been searching for some place to get my fried fish. I choose Gus's because of the location…read more Not happy with the fish one bit. Instead of a regular fish fry coating the fish is cooked in the same batter as Gus's chicken. Also, the fish batter seems like there is hot sauce in the batter. I prefer a regular cornmeal fish fry batter. The fish is also cut in strips versus a fish fillet which is another thing I did not like. This fish is not authentic catfish if that's what's you are looking for, I believe is Swai fish. Guess I'm still on the hunt! Gus's is known for the fried chicken, stick with that and leave the fish alone.

Since I am riding solo this Valentine's Day I decided to treat myself out for dinner…read more I sat at the bar area near the register. Carol was my server. She was awesome! Attentive, but not bothersome. I ordered the special ~ four succulent shrimp on top of salmon on top of mashed potatoes, blanketed with a rich, creamy and tasty sauce, accompanied by steamed asparagus. It was a pretty plate. It was a delicious meal! In fact, I forgot to take a photo. However, I was mostly done when felt a slim bone at the back of my throat and, while discreetly trying to get rid of it, Christian, the manager must have noticed something strange about me because, although he and the staff were hustling around, busy working, he inquired about my well being. I explained the situation as best I could while fishing for the bone with my tongue. The bone is now lodged near the back of my throat. After a few minutes I managed to remove it. I stopped eating the salmon in favor of the dessert that was included with the meal ~ lava cake!!! Before leaving, I ordered their delicious broccoli cauliflower casserole and some rotisserie chicken for later. When I saw the bill my mouth was agape. I asked, "What happened?" The manager, Christian, took it upon himself to remove the meal from my bill. That's the way you treat a customer! I didn't ask for that and I didn't expect that to happen, however, I was pleasantly surprised! I'm definitely going to revisit this establishment again!!

You never know who you are serving.

The vibe of the restaurant is unmatched. Every single person on their staff brings something special. They aren't just kind; they just embody goodness. There is a warmth and authenticity that can't be taught. Hen Mother has created a little corner of the world where people slow down, feel seen, and are welcomed exactly as they are. It's rare to find a place that feels this unique. The food keeps you coming back, but it's the people who make it unforgettable. They are truly angel humans. My family and I never feel like we're just going out to breakfast. We feel like we're visiting extended family. In a world that can often feel rushed and impersonal, Hen Mother reminds you what hospitality, community, and genuine care are supposed to look like. We leave every single time feeling full- not just from the incredible meal, but from being loved on so well.
