    Seriously charging you to use a credit card? Just tacky.
    Cheryl R.

    My food was ok , but there are lots of places that you can go eat and get the same kind of food with even better atmosphere. Our server Mallory was great very sweet the reason for the low score because this restaurant is cheap and when you're cheap I worry about you using cheap ingredients and cutting corners. They charge you a non-cash fee for using a credit card. honestly, what are they in the dinosaur ages? I don't like being nickeled and dime so I can go other places in this day and age 99% of the people pay in credit or debit who in the world walks around with a bunch of cash? I feel like this is just one more way of them adding a little bit more money. And when they're getting $.75 up on every check that comes through there that's quite a hefty little amount. Taking credit cards, it's just a way in the restaurant biz get with the times.

    Manager is super rude here when their staff make a mistake they blame the customer. Not coming back. Stay away.

    Stopped by here for lunch the other day and completely forgot to write a review…read more Actually, it was a late bite to eat with a client who wanted a beer so we stopped in here grab something cold to drink and a bite. Pretty busy place, always seems to be a crowd and lots of TVs. I grabbed me a beer and some of those shotgun wings and they were really tasty., juicy and great flavor! My buddy got a mushroom burger, which looked pretty big, but he loved it and said the fries were great as well. First time here, never get over to the side of the freeway, but have to say I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back for a burger!!! Good service, clean, good value. Highly recommend!!

Probably would not order again. The hamburger was HUGE and the best burger I've tasted in quite a while. The Monte Cristo was also very good with the jelly. It was sweet and yummy. I ordered a side salad with the vinaigrette and it was not great. There was a lot of stuff in the salad, but not a lot of lettuce. I would not order a salad again. We were there on a Wednesday evening and it was not very busy. The service was good as our server checked on us several times. The food came out within about 25 minutes of ordering. I look forward to another visit and trying more items in the menu. ***Or we may go on a Monday for $10.99 hamburgers!

I had gotten here around 4:30PM and went to the pool table, I had been waiting close to 15-20 minutes to be served. I just went to the bartender with a slicked back bun and wearing a burgundy shirt named "T" to ask for a drink since my friend had gotten there before me and said she had taken his order prior to me getting there. After waiting about 3 minutes at the bar, she approached me and rudely asked if I had been sitting by the pool tables. I replied and said "yes I'm sitting near the pool tables" and she responded rudely again and said she couldn't take my order and the server sitting in my section would take it. I had told her "okay, well I have been sitting here for a while waiting to be served and I wanted to order a drink" and she responded and said "well we didn't see you over there, go back to your table and I'll get your server" The server named Dom, took my order and I asked him for her name since he either saw/heard what happened. Bless his heart for trying to rectify the situation by bringing the food out quickly and being more pleasant. What makes the story worse, is that this bartender (after she yelled at me) went back to the pool tables where we were sitting to take away plates for another table she had already served and they were sitting one table over from us. So she served them (males) and my friend (another male) and felt like she refused to help or serve me. Overall, I would come back but definitely steering clear of that rude bartender that was very sarcastic and had a nasty attitude. Definitely go there on weekend nights when different bartenders are working and aren't as rude.

The restaurant wasn't overly crowded -- only a few tables occupied and a handful of people at the bar -- but service was extremely slow from the start. It took about 10 minutes for our server to greet us, and another 10 minutes just to receive waters after ordering them. My boyfriend and I ordered drinks (a Raspberry Collins and a Tropicalia), along with a pretzel for the table. The pretzel was brought out by another server, and when I asked for plates, they never returned with them. I then asked our server for plates, but they still never came. Eventually, I had to ask the host to find our server, and he responded that he would "try." When our server finally came back, I had to ask for plates a third time. Our friend was finally able to order his mixed drink, and we went ahead and ordered our meals as well. The food took nearly an hour to come out, despite the restaurant having very few tables at that point. My boyfriend ordered the Nashville hot chicken, which was extremely oily and lacked flavor. I had the hibachi bowl, which was decent. Before the food arrived, I ordered another Raspberry Collins and more water, which took about 15 minutes and again was not delivered by our server. The one bright spot of the evening was the bartender -- I didn't catch her name, but she was wearing a red Falcons shirt. She personally brought my drink to the table, promptly brought us waters when asked, and even cleaned up our table. Major props to her professionalism and attentiveness, because she was the only person who made us feel taken care of. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we won't be returning. Save your time and money and try somewhere else in downtown Sugar Hill.
