This is new restaurant with an Athens, GA location which preceded this one. It is a good bowl place with veg and meet options. I liken it to Rice, which is a Mediterranean / middle eastern style of food, except the options include (southern sides). We got everything Togo, ordering online. There was no register functioning at the moment, however, they are going to get that updated soon. I choose the Street Car and Nicole made her own. Both were delish and healthy. It's nice to have another option in the neighborhood in Summerhill. read more

I am not from Georgia so when I saw the chef was from Athens, I think Greece. The menu it did not look "Greek". Since I am not from here, it came to me later that is a then, Ga...lol. It is a bowl place and I am so glad it is located where I live. It is super delicious and seemingly pretty healthy. From the pictures I thought I might be hungry after but the portions were plenty. I even shared mine with my daughter and we were both full. I made my own plate but my husband got the street car. They were both delicious!!! read more

Love this place! It has a great vibe and has tons of options for vegans and vegetarians. You choose a base and build from there. They told us they use sesame oil and in some cases we think coconut oil, meaning that there are good soy-free options. They also marked which options had dairy, etc. on the tags at the counter. The staff were friendly and patient with we first timers. I also tried a few sauces but found that the veggies by themselves were all I needed. A special shoutout to the brown rice flavor, sweet potato, roasted veggies, beans, and Brussels. All we're wonderful! Definitely a great, fast spot for some healthier food. read more

Maepole is an interesting and unique combination of foods that will satisfy both health conscious folks, vegetarians, and meat eaters alike. It felt a little bit like a confusing chipotle at first, but I was assured that you get use to their ordering system pretty quickly. You can use the QR scanner and order outside or go through the counter picking out your ingredients or just order a set menu plate from the bases, sides, proteins, and sauce choices. They have a lot of different options which was both good and part of the confusion. I wish I had known what the crunchies and fritters were in advance. We tried the spring forward and then built our own around a southern theme with Mac and cheese, shredded pork, sweet potato, and braised kale. The kale was good but very vinegar-e, the pork was decent (although would not hold up to wood's chapel's pulled pork across the street), and the sweet potatoes were unexpectedly good. Spring forward with the chicken and super greens was also tasty but it didn't seem all that different than what I'd make at home for dinner. The turmeric-ginger sauce was a bit strange to me but some in my group liked it. The buttermilk sauce was delicious. Given the casual feel, portions, and chipotle-like ordering feel it's a bit on the pricier side but with their commitment to ethical/quality sourcing it might be fair. They also have a nice selection of drinks that you don't see elsewhere including tap Kombucha. I'd definitely go back with veggie and gluten free friends as they have a lot of good options in this department and I'd be curious to try more. read more

You can only be amazed by the flavorful and delicious food here and you can't go wrong with any Peter Dale restaurant. We ordered Jessamine and a custom order. The marinated mushrooms, sweet potato base and mac n cheese are my favorite. Oh did I tell you about the refreshing drinks - Greaterade and Hibiscus Limeade. Yum!! The only suggestion would be to increase the portion size. It doesn't suffice as a full lunch. I will be back for more. read more

This place rocks! I love having this sort of option in the neighborhood, as opposed to something more corporate (like a Moe's for example). I come here a lot and usually get the staple Boxcar meal, but something I've noticed every single time is that some of the green beans still have the stems attached. Usually like 4 or 5 in the batch, which is a shame because the seasoning on the green beans is really tasty. I actually just ordered the Boxcar and substituted Hoppin' John for the green beans because of this. Make sure that the stems are clipped when food prepping! Apart from that little critique, this place is sooooo tasty. Take care! read more

I was in the neighborhood and a friend suggested this place to grab a quick lunch. I order the fresh Prince which was so delicious and filling that I had half of it and finish the rest for dinner. (I'm a small eater). What I love the most were three different flavors and textures. The sriracha sauce gave it a light amount of heat. Inside the restaurant it was clean and comfortable.

The food is great. Don't get me wrong, I would give 5 stars if it was for the food, but unfortunately the service is what has spoiled a few trips for me. The older gentleman who has taken my order twice before is very rude and does not seem to care about customers. He makes smart remarks when you ask questions and acts annoyed that you are there. Never says thank you or have a nice day, and is just rude in general. Place would be much better without him. Some of the other staff are a lot better, and are way friendlier so I still go here maybe once or twice a month. Good food, eco friendly plates/straws, and nice outdoor seating. I'd recommend it as long as Mr.Grumpy isn't working haha! 3/5 read more

Maepole has quickly entered my "healthy meal I don't want to cook myself" rotation. They have so any options and change their menu a bit with each season so I haven't gotten bored yet. They are located in Summerhill and have indoor/outdoor seating for dine -in but they also have a seamless online ordering option. This is how I have experienced them thus far. You can build your own plate or choose one of their recommended plates. I normally do the "build your own protein plate" which comes with a base (grains, greens, etc.) two veggies, one protein and a sauce. I switch it up each time but typically choose the fritters for my protein. They are a meat free option- made from black eyed peas, quinoa, and mushroom. Delish! Maepole has something for every diet - GF, Vegan, Vegetarian, Carnivore - and everything I have tried has been great. Highly recommend. Might eat there tonight! read more

There were some hits and misses here- LOVED the chicken, mac, roasted veggies with the buttermilk and spicy avo sauce. Sweet potatoes as a base was a bit too heavy, would recommend the salad or quinoa to keep it light. Found the pork a bit dry and a bit simple, the green beans were okay. It's a lot of food at a good price and seems very healthy. TLDR- get a salad/quinoa base with chicken, mac, veggies with buttermilk and spicy avo sauce and you'll love it. maybe a SMALL side of sweet pots if they'll let you. read more

Truly satisfying quick and healthy meal, which is harder to find than one expects. This is counter service, and you pick the components of your bowl. Honestly, I would steer clear of the shredded pork, which I find very dry and over cooked, but everything else I have tried I really like. I especially like the sweet potato base, really delicious, with seared broccoli and red cabbage and black-eyed pea fritters or tofu. The sauces I have had are good too and I especially like the sriracha honey dressing. read more

Took a leisurely walk in Historic Summerhill, and I bumped into this GEM. I'm always on the hunt for healthy, but TASTY because... yea. I didn't come to this life to suffer. I bumped into Maepole and was really caught by the colors and font on the storefront (yea... I'm that person). I walked in and was not disappointed. Standout Feature... was the ease of ordering. Especially if ordering for someone else or you suffer from decision fatigue, Maepole will be a refuge. The menu is broken down very eloquently, with a very visually-appealing list of what and how to place your order - they walk you right through without much conversation. Taste... was as expected. The sweet potatoes didn't look as impressive but after tasting, I was hooked. The notes were hitting everywhere and the texture just closed up the show. Oh yes, the homemade turmeric/ginger sauce was a perfect add-on, enhancing the flavour even more. I also had the whole wheat mac and cheese. Again, my eyes have been trained to crave the cheesiness of mac and cheese so imagine my disappointment when that was, yes, missing from it. Butt like the sweet potatoes, I was not disappointed and with another hit of the turmeric/ginger sauce, I was set. Overall Experience... honestly, will keep me coming back (when in town). Everyone was very welcoming, the utensils were compost-friendly (YAS!) and they have free stickers (not vinyl i don thing, but free)! The vibe was very much, open kitchen and everything was spotless. I'm a fan. Overall, WIN. read more

Wow, what can I say except the fact I walked in on a Friday night with my significant other to enjoy a meal and from the moment we walked in it was apparent the staff didn't want our presence in any way. I'm terribly sorry our purchases are the vessel that is contributing to your salary. I would've loved to have been more understanding bc you never know what someone is going through, however there was 0 attempt to be moderately happy to take our order. So I hope young ladies had a better day. The food options and satisfaction level can only be considered about as mediocre as Iggy Azalea's career In a time where every dollar someone chooses to spend at your establishment counts.

There were a couple of Apps ordered for the table and both were very good. We had the Whipper Formaggio and the Spicy Shrimp Crunch. Really liked the shrimp, but I didn't find it spicy at all. There were a number of good options for the main. A number of people got the Lemon Miso Salmon and everyone thought it was good. I was leaning to the Braised Short Ribs but pivoted to the Roasted Pappardelle Pasta. The fresh pasta was excellent. The tomato cream sauce worked great with the shrimp and chorizo.

I parked in the garage at the red deck which is $24, however, bring your ticket because they validate it. I ended up paying $15 instead. When we arrived, there was a violinist playing r&b songs. I believe he left around 3:30 PM, so get they're early! Anyway I had an espresso martini to start and it was decent. For my entree I went with the Crispy Chicken + Dutch. Their dinner menu doesn't start until 5:00 PM. Anyway my meal was delicious! I will be back to order my own eggs & short ribs because that was good too! Everyone enjoyed their meal and this restaurant!

The food itself was excellent. The menu is basically set, so you'd hope they do it well, and they do! Bread was great, salad solid, fries were the best I've ever had, and steak rich and delicious. Steak can be cooked to each person's preferred temperature which is also nice. It's definitely got a nicer atmosphere, good for a date night or celebration, and I would definitely come back.

We arrived at…read moreour reservation time and were seated immediately -- the host was very friendly and welcoming. I was a bit surprised to see that they were pretty empty inside (6:30pm on a Saturday seems like prime time), but the ambiance was pleasant, nonetheless. Our server was knowledgeable and walked us through the wine list -- I always appreciate when they don't just recommend the most expensive bottles. We ended up ordering a Sazerac and Corpse Reviver, but wished we had ordered wine. The drinks were both pretty warm, and it may be the first time ever that we've left cocktails unfinished. The bread and salad came out, and both were delicious. Our server did warn us that the cheese on the salad was not pasteurized, which seemed like a strange choice for a restaurant, but oh well. For such a simple salad, it was excellent. The bread and butter were great, too, but the olive oil tasted a bit rancid to me. Soon after we finished the bread and salad, our steak frites were served. I am normally a filet girl, through and through, but the NY Strip was so tender and flavorful that I forgot I wasn't eating a filet. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and despite the other reviews, the serving was plenty -- 7-8oz each. The fries were so good that I couldn't quit eating them, long after I was full. The garlic aioli and béarnaise sauce were delicious, as well. Definitely worth the $49/person! I found it a bit frustrating that the restroom was downstairs in their sister restaurant, Little Sparrow, but it wasn't really an issue. Overall, good food, good service, great ambiance, but the cocktails could use some work. Will probably return, but it's not at the top of my list.

Marcus Bar & Grille

Listen... Marcus Bar & Grille is one of those spots that Atlanta is going to Atlanta at every…read moresingle time. I stopped by on a Tuesday and immediately understood why people keep this place in rotation. The energy was on point from the moment I walked in. The live DJ had the perfect mix of R&B, old-school hits, and current vibes without making it impossible to have a conversation. It's giving grown, attractive, and outside. Let's talk about the food because Marcus is not just surviving off vibes. The deviled eggs were fire, the fried chicken was seasoned perfectly and crispy without being greasy, and that peach cobbler bread pudding with ice cream? Baby... order it. Don't ask questions. Just order it. The cocktails were equally impressive, and I have to give a special shoutout to the bartender who works Tuesdays and Saturdays. If you know, you know. She is an absolute gem. Great personality, attentive service, and her drinks are consistently on point. She genuinely elevated the entire experience. What I appreciate most about Marcus is that it feels authentically Atlanta. It's the kind of place where you can pull up after work, meet friends for happy hour, celebrate a birthday, bring someone from out of town, or have a solo dinner at the bar and still have a great time. The crowd was beautiful, the music was right, the food was elite, and the service matched the energy. Atlanta has a lot of restaurants with good aesthetics, but Marcus Bar & Grille actually backs it up with quality food, quality drinks, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Vibes: Pure Atlanta I'll definitely be back.

He was attentive, kind and patient with a big smile. When we return, we are definitely sitting in his section.

Drinks- Kings Legacy and crown of courage were typical Atlanta drinks... overpriced and meh! Overall a great experience and our waiter made it fabulous. We would go back!

Poor Calvin's

This restaurant is really the best kept secret in Atlanta!…read more My family visited here this week for the first time since around 2014 and, despite our fears that it wouldn't live up to the great experience we had then, they EXCEEDED our expectations. We ordered so much and everything was delicious - nothing below an 8/10 in my opinion. We ordered the seafood spring rolls (8/10), crab benigets (8/10 with a special note of originality), and the shrimp appetizer (10/10). Spring rolls- very crispy and flaky, had the "sea floor" variety of seafood inside, flavorful 3 sauces to go with it Crab beignets- a slightly cheesy and airy beignet with a genius crab dip blend. The whole table was surprised on how good it was. Shrimp appetizer- the best "bang bang" shrimp I've had. Shrimps are very large and has a nice fruit salsa to go with. Everyone at the table loved their entrees but I can only truly speak for the ones I tried. Seafood Curry- I will NEVER eat curry anywhere else! I LOVEEEEE THIS CURRY! All the seafood is so fresh, the curry is so flavorful that I literally slurped the rest off my plate. There was also such a variety of veggies in there that were also very fresh and firm (not soggy). For the price especially, you get sooooo much and with such a thoughtful recipe. According to our waitress, it's the only recipe that hasn't changed since the restaurant opened in 2012! Fried chicken - I didn't try the chicken itself, but I did try the Mac and cheese and greens that came with it. Let me tell you, I am very picky about Mac and cheese and this rivals the best Mac and cheese I've had in Atlanta (toast on Lenox)! The greens were also fantastic and flavorful, but a little on the sweet side if that's what your preference is. For dessert, all 4 of us shared one slice of the suspension cake and couldn't even finish it! It was ginormous (literally the size of your head). I won't even go into details- just order it! The ambiance is so intimate and unique- not feeling like an "uptight" boujie restaurant, but curated and thoughtful. They have very nice seating outdoor that is enclosed as well as a beautiful bar area. Lastly, the service is fantastic. I genuinely can't recall my waitresses name, but they speak so highly of the head chef (Calvin) and most have worked there 8+ years, so it really feels like home. I write this review with hesitance because I want this place to remain a secret, but how could I not brag! Book the reservation!

In kinda an older building, the place really had local charm, in an upscale setting. Kinda gave me a New Orleans vibe. I went right to the fried chicken since that what they are known for.

PERFECT crust, and the meat was so steamy tender and perfectly cooked. Really top notch fried chicken. Collards were great, and so were the grits. I'm salivating now just remembering it. Also served with 2 cornbread muffins that helped soak up some of the collard jus. All served with very respectful service. I can't wait to go back.

The first time I tried to come to El Rey Del Taco, I couldn't find a parking spot. I've been back…read morethree times since then, and I understand the hype. They have quickly become my favorite place to get Mexican food. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located on Buford Highway in a small shopping plaza. The lot is medium sized, but they are sharing it with a few other businesses, and depending on the night it could definitely be hard to find a spot so keep that in mind. Venue and Atmosphere The venue is decently sized with both booths and regular tables. There are beautiful paintings hung all over, and the decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a little part of Mexico. Atmosphere is super casual and comfortable. Food and drinks Now the menu here is massive. Take your time and prepare to be overwhelmed, because everything sounds amazing. Here's a breakdown of what we got each time. 1st visit - El Rey Del Taco Parrillada It's meant to be shared with two people, and comes with a pound of beef ribs, your choice of chicken or al pastor meat, six shrimp wrapped in bacon, with melted cheese and chorizo, plus tortillas and charro beans. It was just as delicious as it sounds. 2nd visit - Tacos The pastor con queso and the shrimp al pastor with cheese, onions, and al pastor sauce. You're welcome. 3rd visit - Fajitas Fajitas Texanas, with steak chicken and shrimp. There are 7 different combinations of sides that you can get. We got white rice, salad, and charro beans. This can also be shared, which my wife and I did. Speaking of the charro beans, they have the best beans I have ever had. For drinks I got the supreme regular mango margarita. My wife got strawberry. Both great. Service Food came out fast, but other than that the service was a little slow. Our waitress was nice, but it did seem that she forgot about us for a little while. The food was so good that I forgave it, plus at the end of the day I got everything I needed. Verdict If you're looking for amazing food and drinks, this is absolutely the place to get it. It just might end up being your favorite too! Until next time!
