    Really good and authentic. Ate the guacamole, tamal, carne adobada, rellenito and everything was really great! Totally recommend it!

    In one of the nicest retail/business strips in the area.

    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.

    I stopped by on a Friday to try the $29.99 weekday lunch special, which is available from 12PM to…read more4PM. The special includes unlimited wagyu, a variety of meats, shrimp, and squid. They also offer sashimi and sushi, although those are limited to one serving per person. In addition to the table service, there is a buffet with an impressive selection of meats, dim sum, sushi rolls, curry, vegetables, snacks, fresh fruit, desserts, milk tea, and other beverages. The quality of the food was very good, especially considering the price. Everything I tried was fresh and flavorful, and the variety made it easy to sample a little of everything. For $29.99, the experience was more than worth it. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back!

    I went to Chubby Cattle for lunch and it was fairly empty. It's located at Perimeter Mall so…read morethere's plenty of parking, although they turned the parking right out front the entrance into paid parking only. The food itself was good but the meats could've been marinated more to add more flavor. The other food, like the dumplings and buns were not the best - they were cold and a bit dry. Maybe it's because we went towards the end of lunch, but I would still expect the food to be fresh since they transition right into dinner. Upgrading for $20 is not worth it. The sushi selection is extremely limited and there's also very limited additional wagyu on that menu that you can't already get from the regular all-you-can eat display. For an additional $20, I expected a lot more options and they claim there's these sushi/sashimi options when explaining it to us when in reality, it's only 3 hand rolls available to order. Overall, the food was still very good and the value is worth it. I don't like that they "bride" people for 5-star reviews though by offering free dishes. It skews their ratings both on Yelp and Google to be higher than it should because of this.

He made so many great suggestions and checked on us the entire time that we were there. Our drinks were absolutely delicious! I have the toasted marshmallow espresso, and it was such a pretty drink and so delicious too. The food really is the star of the show though, My favorites were the blackened salmon and the candied yams. But to be honest, everything was good!! You must try their oysters, chargrilled to perfection. Such a beautiful restaurant with easy parking I will definitely be back!

Service was good, and we took advantage of the happy hour in the bar area. Rest of menu is on the pricey side. We started with a round of drinks. The Mojito and Old Fashioned were both on the happy hour menu for $11. I ordered the Bloody Mary, which was good, but I was disappointed that it wasn't topped with the garnishes described on the menu. We also ordered the fried pickles for $11 during happy hour, and they were very good. Unfortunately, my entrée, the seafood gumbo, was another disappointment. It looked nothing like the photo on the menu, and the presentation was underwhelming. Overall, we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and good service, but some of the food and menu expectations fell short.

Meals offered were filling and complemented beverages sold inside venue. Various specials were offered as well as a full menu. Orders were efficiently delivered after receiving confirmation and alert via text message. The individual who placed orders was pleasant and informative. If additional allergy concerns were shared, the chef was consulted to ensure accuracy. I enjoyed my wing combination of lemon pepper and jerk sauce. Made fresh to order and was delicious. The accompanying French Fries were perfect complement too. My partner enjoyed his veggie wrap which included a mixture of vegetables in a large tortilla wrap.

The experience of delicious food and great customer service will make me a repeat customer. I had observed the food truck at other events and very much appreciated my first meal.
