I have lived in and near downtown Stone Mountain for years and had been wanting to try this place…read more FINALLY made it. Me and a few friends tried it and when I tell you this place is NOT what I thought, but in a good way! First off, our waiter Ted was fantastic. All of us were first timer so he broke everything down, gave us a few faces by patrons and his personal faves. He was patient with us and gave us the best customer service. The restaurant itself is very unique. I love they had a small seating area with a small stage close, there's a private dining area, a bar and table and booth seating. It's not a huge space but it is big enough to be comfortable and cozy. Wasn't loud and even when the artist came up to play music, it wasn't too loud it still blended well with the restaurant noise. Ted emphasized that everything in here is made from scratch except a few things. For starters we had fried okra and a colossal shrimp cocktail. They both were great starters. I had a whiskey sour as well which was really good. I had a hard time choosing but I wound up getting the prime rib sandwich with mashed potatoes, my sis did prime rib as well but with oxtail collard greens and my other sis had the surf and turf special. Everything was so good! It's a good portion of food. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the conversation. Downtown Stone Mountain has a hidden gem here, I'm already planning my trip back!

The owner has some other restaurants downtown Decature as well The "Cherokee Rose", very nice ambient atmosphere good looking restaurant. However it appears to be Family run with close friends and their kids. The Staff is not very attentive, one bartender so long waits or missed over waiting to place a drink and food order No one's really educated on the menu when asked a question about the food items. They just slide a menu in front of you as a gesture - you read it if you want to know. I can't see the small print on these menus to save my life lol I invited a industry colleague for a business dinner Ok, food review they offer an oxtail protein in the collard greens "Yummy" however I didn't find oxtail in the collard greens anywhere. My guest ordered some cwing dinner that looked like a contraption. As far as the presentation was delivered. I decided on a liquid diet after seeing the food delivery Next week I personally stopped in-for lunch wanted to give this place a chance to rebound and my full attention on a fair review. I wanted to also make sure management was there. An older caucasian woman greets me well we have a cordial conversation about my previous experience and my embarrassment at such a nice looking restaurant She was unable to believe this happened at her restaurant. Just plain disbelief and raved about the kitchen and pride that goes into her food to later having to eat those words Again, limited menu what is up with the 4-5 items to chose from. I donot eat steak fries So I just ordered the burger - medium well - not burned and it had no venison mixed or blended meat added The burger came out with old brown tarnished lettuce I sent it back for fresh lettuce . She brought it back they added thousand island dressing when I specially asked for mayo on the side which was also provided. What is going on in the kitchen I took a bittersweet bite anyways and spat it out. Took my utensils which looks like a switch blade in a fairly nice restaurant. bad esthetics decisions I knifed out The center of the uncooked raw meat of the burger and waited patiently for the nice lady to find her way back over to me I offered to just pay and leave. She ask what was the problem . I uncovered the burger and allowed her to witness fir herself Her face turned beet red and quickly said no charge and stormed off to her kitchen where I am sure like "The Oak" there was a Waffle House griller reject acting as a chef " Pictures attached : I can't make my Experiences UP! #SMH you just can't get what you pay for anywhere these days Me being a restaurant consultants.

Help yourself with water & flatware, napkins, condiments etc. Very casual. We ordered the shrimp & grits for me, and a burger for the hubby. He loved his burger, very good portions, his side salad was fresh and also good sized. His burger tall, generous ingredients inside - tomato, onions, 2 slices of pickles on top. What's most important was that this burger did not fall apart when biting into it. Especially so difficult to achieve for a tall burger. My grits were good texture, I didn't like that the grits were very salty, something must have gone wrong in the kitchen. The shrimp were also salty on top of that, there were cheese. My entire dish was so salty, I drank 3 tall cups of water and was full halfway through my grits but I didn't want to take it home cos I know I wouldn't finish it when brought home. I hope they fix the level of salt otherwise, I love the consistency and texture - has some bite to the grits.

Food: 3 Service : 5…read more Ambiance: 4 The food is mediocre. I got the garden omelette and it lacked flavor. I had to add a bunch of hot sauce and black pepper to it which helped make it better. The home fries are really just roasted cubed potatoes and have no crisp to it. Even the "toast" was soft and barely toasted. The staff is extremely friendly and check on you regularly so that's the saving grace of this place. It's a nice diner vibe overall but the place could use a little more cleanliness especially in the restroom. Luckily there's plenty of parking and the prices are fairly cheap so the overall value is decent but do not expect high quality food.

Maybe it's a Georgia thing...but typically when dining out we have encountered parties of 6+ at certain restaurants have an automatic gratuity. It's usually listed on the menu, or on their website, or on the check.... This restaurant had neither. And when asked about the automatic tip they gave us a vague answer. My hubby is a big tipper (to my annoyance) so it kinda felt like they added the tip because they assumed we weren't going to tip. Oh well, their loss. They probably won't ever see us again. #dontstereotypeme

Deliveries from Donnie's Donuts and coordinating with the Waffle House food truck. Vendor meals. They were on it with every single detail!! A lot of caterers we talked to were not willing to do family style for 150, but Zest told us no problem and made it happen beautifully!!!

In fact, I have ordered the same menu item as my meat loving friend: the curry bowl - I just have the waiter leave the eggs off. The veggie plate is served on an old school cafeteria tray, and has the benefit of including one of their famously good biscuits. I think my hands down favorite is the vegan grit bowl, which serves up flavor rich, fresh vegetables on top of grits. The breakfast satisfies exactly the same way scrambled eggs and bacon do - it's a plate full of filling, warm food that is a joy to eat. I am always a member of the clean plate club, but if I don't finish, I can take it home, and enjoy it later, and it is just as good reheated. A beloved neighborhood spot, so get there early on the weekends, or be prepared to wait. The serving staff are efficient and friendly, and the kitchen turns out reliably quick good food, so you will be seated in a reasonable time - it's worth the wait.
