Games on every night of the week.
Audrey W.

I really like this spot. I really want to love it. The location is super convenient, the interior is warm & welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food selection and flavors are great. But you can't always count on the best service. This is our second time in a few months since moving here, and both times my hubby & I agree that it would be an amazing neighborhood go-to for us if we could count on consistent attention from our servers. Tonight, the young lady was professional, friendly, and helpful... at first. We had to check on our appetizer order, one of our sides was incorrect, our plates weren't cleared as we finished dishes, and then I believe she forgot about my having to pay altogether. So close!! Just a little too far from a perfect evening. But we'll be back because the food and drinks were good. Some notes: the "shareable" Tots is really only good for 1 growing boy or 2 small people, but they're delicious! The Bang-Bang Shrimp can actually be a good size meal by itself, and they're tasty. The meats in the burgers and sandwiches are very generous and cooked well. The kids meals are a perfect portion, at least for my 6-year old. And the drinks are made well. Just don't be in a rush to be someplace after eating here.

Lots of good brews here! We come here maybe once every other week for date night. It is good food at a decent price with lots of good beer choices. They have deals and specials that we enjoy. However the classic burger is a favorite!

Onion Rings- this is a side order... there were four of them

Nope... The two of us stopped in for a late lunch on the holiday Monday and found the experience very underwhelming. We were handled a clipboard with some menu items on it over three laminated pages and a front and back menu- foreshadowing the lack of quality of food we were to see. I ordered wings and rings- both were previously frozen items that were warmed and served. Fortunately, it was 1/2 price Wing Monday- (a detail that we saw on one of the clipboard notices). It brought the price from $22 for 10 all flat to $11. It wasn't anywhere near an $11 entree and I would have been even more disappointed at $22. We had this nagging feeling that it would be a predictable bad East Cobb Restaurant and it lived up to it. I just don't understand why not be good and turn an amazing profit?

We came here on a Monday night to get dinner and to our surprise they had half priced wings. We first ordered 6 as an appetizer and they were so good: crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We then decided to take advantage of the deal and order more, which took a while to come. And when they came out they weren't as crispy as the first round and it was all flats, I was a little bummed because I actually like drums. We also got club sandwich and Cuban and we were satisfied with both. I'll definitely be back and give their wings another try

Old soggy sticky lemons

The service is dreadful. The staff are not trained. They don't know how to make a drink or to garnish it ? they didn't clean the table at all. The garnish when i requested it was sticky and old. The toilets were so filthy that I took photos. Ill happily supply them. My cocktails were so badly made I was in shock when told that the bartender has experience, but then I saw him sitting and eating most of the time I was there and some female staff member behind the bar. Either-way these staff are not trained and the bar and bathrooms need a power hose. Disgusting.

Brunch menu

Great service and food! Wow! I was highly impressed! For a tavern my expectations weren't too high. However, this restaurant was nicely decorated, clean, and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful! I tried the Santa Fe impossible burger and absolutely delish! They do charge a 1$ fee for the burger change to impossible (kinda of a pet peeve but okay). The burger had pepper jack, pico, fried jalapenos avocado, and chipotle aioli- super yummy! The fries were nice and crispy too! They have a robust drink menu- I tried the Blake's cider triple jam and it was great! Lots of free parking available as it's in a shopping complex!

I visited Fresh One Kitchen for the first time with my coworkers for a weekday lunch after finding…read moreit through a Google search. The concept immediately caught our attention. The bowl options looked fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a quick but satisfying meal. We arrived around 11:45 a.m., just before the lunch rush. I ordered the barbecue chicken bowl with black rice. Overall, my bowl was pretty good. The portions were solid, the ingredients tasted fresh, and it was filling without feeling heavy. My coworkers ordered the Greek bowl and what I believe was a teriyaki style bowl. The only strong feedback we had was regarding the seasoning on the Greek bowl. I noticed the seasoning appeared to be sprinkled on top of the chicken after the bowl was assembled. I think if the chicken were tossed in the seasoning beforehand, it would create a more impactful flavor throughout. As it was, my coworker felt the bowl leaned slightly bland because the seasoning did not fully incorporate. What truly stood out to me was the customer service. I believe the owner came in while we were there, and he was incredibly pleasant and hands on. As the lunch crowd grew, it was clear he remembered returning customers and even their usual orders. That level of attentiveness makes a difference. I would definitely return to try more menu options. Next time, I may ask for extra sauce or seasoning to give the bowl a stronger flavor boost. Overall, it is a great lunch spot with solid bowl options in Sandy Springs

The sorry no customer service waiter stood on her phone talking to a friend loudly as we waited to order. Then finally comes to our table with the face of so what do you want. Red flags were screaming at this point! So we proceed to order lunch and she explains why we couldn't because lunch time was over. My wife and I explained that no we walked in well within the remaining minutes of lunch, and that there were a few lunch items only offered during lunchtime that we wanted to take advantage of. Remember, if she would've come to greet us right away instead of being on her phone there would not have been an issue. Plus there was literally no one seated outside except for us! No excuse for this type of service. Plus I'm shocked that management didn't accommodate a first timer to your establishment being it was the server's fault. Amazing how these kind of restaurants forget there are soooooo many great options in this city! No one is going to put up with this type of nonsense. Funny how they forget who's the paying customer, and get arrogant instead of being flexible within reason to a great customer experience. Wasn't asking for anything extra just to honor walking in during lunch time to order lunch! If that's too much to ask then hello and goodbye and that's why we got up and left! This place won't be around long! Ridiculous! Word of mouth is everything in the restaurant business Kid Cashew!

If you're unfamiliar, like I was, this is a Chipotle-style, make-your salad place. There isn't very much signage as you walk in, but the bar makes everything orderly and easy to see and order. Plenty of good proteins, bases, and veggies to choose from. I walked in as the doors were opening, and I got a welcoming greeting when I reached the counter. The "regular" size is HUGE and was more like 2 servings. I added the baked salmon to my mixed greens bowl, and it was very filling for my lunch over 2 days. That makes the price of the bowl totally worth it. All of it delicious! They had a pan of fresh-baked cookies out, and I had to get one. I thought they'd be crispy but ended up being on the soft side. They are huge though. Still tasty! I'll be back, often.

We are greeted like family as we enter into this amazing restaurant. Our favorite server Ian knows all the intricate details of the dishes and makes the best recommendations among the many fabulous options. The best appetizer is the Lobster with the white wine cream sauce ( this appetizer will blow your mind with flavor and the sauce is something very unusual and special). All of The entrees are delicious. As always- the spaghetti is a must-have option but everything on the menu is fantastic. However Today's chef feature was oh so delicious. The garlic butter fried chicken was a hit along with delicious garlic butter potatoes. This was the best chicken that i have ever had in my life. So crispy so tender so juicy and oh so flavorful. This chicken was a sophisticated cuisine with a comfort food flare. I would have included a photo but i ate it up too fast. Lol As always the meal ended with My heaven on earth dessert of the Lemond Ice Box Pie. This pie is oh so delicious that it makes an appearance in my dreams several nights a week and has me constantly craving for it. Not only did i have a slice of the lemon pie for dessert but i also purchased an entire pie to take home to serve for memorial weekend guests. This pie is simply the best of the best.

Unfortunately, our overall experience left a very sour taste in our mouths. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our 5:00 PM reservation and were seated promptly. However, we were taken to a separate back section of the restaurant that's partitioned off by curtains, making it feel more secluded from the main dining area. At the time, there were not many customers seated in the front of the restaurant. Once seated, we noticed that the only other couples in the back section were African American. My husband and I looked at each other and quietly acknowledged it. Shortly after, another couple nearby made a similar observation, and we shared an uncomfortable laugh about it. As the evening went on, each time a new party was brought into the back section, it was another Black couple. This pattern continued throughout our meal. By the time we left, the back room was about 85% Black guests, while the front dining room appeared to be about 90% white guests. It felt very intentional in terms of who was being seated where. Whether or not that was the restaurant's intention, the perception and impact were real. It did not feel welcoming, and it certainly did not feel like an equitable dining experience. We couldn't believe that this was still happening in 2026, in Atlanta. Very disappointing and unacceptable.

I have the rewards program, but if you're doing delivery and don't order here often its cheaper to go thru Uber Eats based on fees, at least in my experience. There's been a couple occasions where a few items are missing from the "create your own bowls" I've ordered but nothing major. Uber Eats has gotten sooo much better about refunding for little things like that, so it hasn't been an issue. They do charge by add-on if it's a premium item so you just need to pay attention if you didn't order it in person. I do understand they could be busy and just miss an item or two or ran out of certain ingredients also. I feel like the quality and consistency is better here than Chipotle or Gusto (at least the one I tried). I haven't tried all the other salad/bowl places nearby yet, but I do enjoy the freshness of the ingredients and options here. Their green goddess ranch is good (I haven't liked it at other places). I like their mushroom mix as well, probably even more than their steak. Their rosemary focaccia is a nice compliment to the bowls as well. I haven't had any bad items here so far.
