    Fish & Chips
    Jim P.

    First of all, let me start this review by saying that Taylor was one of the nicest and best servers we have EVER experienced anywhere and we have been to a ton of places. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is sports pub to a T. Sports on the tv's, music playing, pool tables and drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious. The cheese curds impressed all of us at the table. My wife ordered the chicken pot pie and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. The chips were above average and the fish was good but a touch salty. My daughter ordered the chicken avocado sandwich heavily modified and the kitchen got it wrong the first time but fixed it and we weren't upset by it at all. Also, the vanilla ice cream and brownie were enjoyed by all.

    2.5 star review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to Gibney's Pub a few times for a work lunch, there's never a crowd. I like that even though it's in a giant food court, it feels like you're in a separate restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's down two flights of stairs. Hopefully you walk or take Marta because parking is impossible to find downtown. First visit I dined in with co-workers, the friendly server recommended the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich which did not disappoint. Breaded and fried, it's served with buffalo hot sauce, lettuce, tomato and blue cheese crumbles, with a bag of chips. It was a nice size and pretty tasty! The $13 price point wasn't bad either. A creature of habit, I ordered the same meal to-go and alerted the manager of my onion allergy when I called it in. The food was ready fast but when I got back to my office, I was greeted with the pungent aroma of raw onions. I didn't want to spend my lunch hour making two trips to Gibneys and it was humid outside so my hair wasn't happy either. But the manager remade my meal (which was missing the side of buffalo sauce) and kindly offered to comp the next one. Unfortunately, the comped meal was the worst. I ordered the same sandwich but they forgot the blue cheese, which is the best part! Worse, the extremely thin chicken breast tasted inedible and chewy. The bland fries didn't help. The generous 3 stars is for 2 out of 4 decent sandwiches and the service. I won't return to Gibney's but if you go, I recommend dining in to make sure your order is right!

    Visited Atlanta this last weekend. Found this place while walking around the Hub. I was happy to find a non fast food place. Wait staff was great, they were attentive during the lunch hour. Food was good. I wish the chimichurri was drizzled over my steak rolls more than dipping though. Frito pie was tasty!

    This was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food was sloppy, unappetizing, and honestly some of the worst I've been served. The service was just as disappointing. There was no table service, so every time we needed something we had to walk up to the bar to place an order, which felt like we were inconveniencing the bartenders. The mixed drinks were also a letdown. They tasted watered down and seemed to contain very little alcohol. The biggest issue, however, was the automatic gratuity. A 20% tip was added to my bill without anyone informing me beforehand. When I asked about it, I was told it was automatically included and that there was nothing they could do. Customers should be clearly notified before being charged an automatic gratuity, not find out only after receiving the bill. Overall, between the poor food, disappointing drinks, lackluster service, and the surprise auto-gratuity, I would not recommend this place.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in downtown Atlanta, Gibney's is a restaurant and pub that is business friendly, tourist friendly, and convention friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Within walking distance of many hotels, Gibney's is not a dive nor an upscale establishment, but rather a middle of the road restaurant/bar that is approachable for visitors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beyond the large bar, there are booths as well as private event areas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is fairly well lit and is perfect for a drink and dinner at the same table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the pub burger and shepard's pie. Both were good and vey large/filling.

    Buffalo Wings
    Allie G.

    Wow. The weirdest and worst interaction we have ever had with a waitress. It's self seating so we kick a table and very soon after our waitress comes over. We start with water while we look at their drink menu. A short wait later she comes back and we ask for a Cadillac margarita (we wanted to try one before ordering more). This is where it goes bad; she comes back saying they don't have "that" and we say "You don't have the ingredients?" To which she replies "No we don't have.....that. Only what's on the cocktail menu". We couldn't believe it as they have a full bar so my husband went to ask and sure enough they DO make Cadillacs. The bartender Ryan makes one quickly and sends it over. It was in a martini type class with no ice.....interesting take. He also sent over a shot on the house for the misunderstanding. We liked the Cadillac so we ask our waitress for two more and she literally asks us "Do you really need 2 more?". We had literally been there less than 45 minutes and were sober yet it was like she was trying to cut us off already. That was the last straw and we paid out our tab and left. We also ordered their wings Buffalo style with medium heat level and they were so so. The wings I guess are smoked or something because they were smoky and had a BBQ flavor despite having Buffalo sauce. I would not order these again. Ryan was really nice and tried to remedy the situation to get us to stay but with a waitress like that and the disappointing wings it just couldn't be salvaged.

    I was in town for a convention and stopped in for lunch and a beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot is lovely. Very large space and good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the honor of meeting the owner while I was exploring the space. Food was standard for a bar, filling and atypical. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just really enjoyed the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pub Burger and Frito Pie.
    Michelle J.

    I was excited to try some of the things I saw on Yelp. I guess the menu had changed. Lol. When you are hungry everything looks good. I could not decide. My friend had a burger that looked really good. I had Frito Pie. Everything was good and staff was nice. I want to go back and try the Fish and chips. They do not provide tangible menus so make sure your phone is charged. . .

    After a tour of the Atlanta Falcons stadium, I had food on my mind. Searching Yelp "Gibney's Pud" came strongly recommended. Across the street is paid parking, so you almost feel rushed. But I was hungry so I didn't mind. The big red door represents the inside of the restaurant. You sit where you want, so the only seats available were in the back. Our waitress, who almost ruined our visit came over. The entire time, she never brought over our drinks, came to the table, or got our orders right. I was so disappointed in her service. Lastly, she charged us more because she charged us another tables bill. However, the owner was incredible. A Staten Island native, who moved to Georgia to open this bar. He loves the Giants and was glad we traveled for the game. That was awesome. The bartender was incredible as well. She was friendly and spoke to us about football. They made the visit worth it. Also, the food was great. The wings were the best I've had in Atlanta. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The fries didn't even bend they were so crunchy. The meal was perfect. I would come again to support a New York local. Hopefully I can have the bartender as my waitress.

    What's left of my MacAllen 12.

    I was in Atlanta for the first time on business. I was sightseeing with a friend and we got thirsty. Yelp helped us find Gibney's. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is inviting and the staff is friendly. We didn't have any food, but it looked really good. The drinks were served with a good pour and promptly. The place is fun, I'll definitely come back.

I was impressed by the…read moreplace, but after a couple of beers and an appetizer we were given instructions to evacuate the restaurant due to a kitchen fire. The next time in 2024 when I was in the area, they were closed for a remodel. Today was the day. The beer selection was fantastic and so was the food. I got the pork sandwich with greens on top. It was delicious, but it could've not had juices leaking so much? Maybe cheese below and above the meat to try to keep some of the juices off the bun or maybe more bun toasting? The fries were amazing and I should've gotten the aolie initially, but didn't get it until I saw another table with an order. It was delicious. The service was very good. The server had good knowledge of the beers, food, and was friendly. This is one of the best beer bars in the US. The Atlanta area is fortunate to have two killer beer bars, the other being the Brick Store Pub in Decatur.

When we received our food, we nearly gasped at the size of the cornbread because we weren't fully expecting a generous amount. The cornbread was perfectly cooked and was so delicious. We didn't taste any honey though (it tasted like salted butter), which was a shame since we love honey butter, but it still paired well with the cornbread. The gnocchi was insanely good! The gnocchi was cooked well, the rabbit was super tender and seasoned well, and I was surprised by how well the aged balsamic pulled the dish together. I highly recommend this dish. I saw other dishes that were served to other tables that had me salivating too, so I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

I've visited Downtown…read moreDecatur Square countless times and walked past this spot over and over but this time, I got lucky and made it in for a drink. Brick Store Pub is an incredible place. The staff are fantastic, personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They really know their craft and are happy to share recommendations on both drinks and food. The ambiance adds so much to the experience, I recommend you to come and relax on the patio or grab a seat at the bar. There's such a great vibe all around that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're in the area, definitely stop by, you'll enjoy every bit of the atmosphere that Brick Store has been giving all this time. I will be back!

Got a text back saying they don't take reservations, it's first come, first serve, but they would do what they could to accomodate us. 4 of us were seated and we had 2 more coming before we wanted to order. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we had our beverages and if we needed anything before the 2 arrived. Once they arrived, the staff gave us a few minutes to make sure the 2 had a chance to look at the menus. We ordered appetizers to start...corn bread, sage fried pierogies and poutine. We weren't sure about the poutine because we didn't see any gravy, we did see the cheese curds on the fries, but once we finally dug in, the gravy was at the bottom. The pierogies were tasty. We asked if they could cut the cornbread so each of us could get a taste, which they did. Corn bread had a toasted texture, and the honey butter was delicious! Everyone ordered something different. One had fish and chips, which would seem to be a likely order for a pub. Their special for the day was a ruben. Another ordered a falafel sandwich, and I think 2 salmon BLT's and then one salad with rainbow trout. Portions were not overwhelming, but we realized that we were full from the appetizers and almost everyone ended up taking most of their main choices in doggie bags (boxes). As time got closer to the festival to start, it did get crowded, but the staff handled the influx of people and people were seated relatively quickly. This was a nice destination as most of the group live a drive from Decatur. Lovely afternoon visit!
