    I love trying little cafes and diners. We were visiting Stone Mountain and looking for a nice place for a late lunch. I was a little leery bc some of the reviews aren't great. IMHO - they are crazy. Ambience - it's a super cute little diner. They pipe oldies in the background. Plenty of seating - mix of booths and table/chairs combo. There's also a bar on one side. Walking in - you can't but drool over the pasties in the display. OMG - they really look amazing! Service - out service was terrific. She was helpful and patient with our questions too. Food - there were lots of complaints in the comments over price and I think they're way off. This isn't fast food; it's a sit-down diner with a really decent menu. We had 3 people dining and ordered a giant piece of cake. The total tab was $55. That's really not unreasonable. It's also worth mentioning that the portions are also generous. 2 out of 3 of us brought home half of our meal to enjoy later. I also had some cake packaged for later and cannot wait to try the "crazy" cake.

    Vegetable panini
    Sarah H.

    Visited on a Saturday after running a few errands in the area. We were seated immediately and our server came and took our drink orders, water. We continued to review and asked her a couple of questions that she answered with ease. With her assistance I ordered the vegetable panini and my husband ordered the Greek plate. We continued to talk amongst ourselves while we waited for our food. Food came out and everything looked good. Food was hot and seasoned well, we were satisfied with our orders. I wish I could remember our server's name but all I know is she was tall and had an accent. She handled herself and her tables very well. We also ended up ordering a slice of snickers cake and carrot cake, although there were so many to choose from. Cake was good but I think next time I'm going to go for a slice of cheesecake.

    Hell chicken taco

    Entrance/parking: wrap around parking at the building. On the weekends it is crowded. Staff do a great job trying to seat each party as long as everyone is there. Food/ambiance: food comes out quickly. This diner has a small bar. Of course I was able to get a mimosa or two. Ordered hell chicken tacos. They're small, but full. I'm not a huge fan of their house potato. But I'm not a huge fan of potatoes. I didn't try their pies or cakes, but Oh my gosh! They look decadent. I will be back to try. Price points are perfect and reasonable for a diner.

    Upon entering the restaurant there is a sign that has you to wait to be seated. They have a large display of delicious looking cakes. They were very tall and inviting. I wanted to order cake instead of a meal because they looked so good. Also in the front aside from the chairs and tables at the counter there were more desserts. I did not try any but they all looked very good. At the time that we arrived there were not many customers inside. The TVS were on so we got to watch a little bit of that. Not sure what we were watching but the screens were large.I did not use the bathroom but the inside, the floors and the tables appeared to be cleaned. The silverware that was wrapped in a napkin was also clean. I did not see any water stains which is usually at most of the restaurants. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. We did not have to call for her much because she continually made her rounds to check on us and others while we ate. The food was just ok. To be more specific it was very bland. I ordered the salmon, shrimp pasta and the Chicken Marsala.Both meals looked great. The presentation was fabulous but the flavor was lacking. I was glad they had salt and pepper at the table because it was HEAVILY used. I was hoping the meals would have more flavor but I was disappointed. The meal portions were a good size but the flavor made you wish it was less. I did bring my leftovers home not sure if they will be eaten though. This was my first time coming here and I have seen the restaurant on a number of occasions. The best thing we had was the appetizers. It was the cheese sticks. They were cooked correctly. They were good and passed the pull test. Which is when you take a bite and the cheese is still connected even after you pull it, so we know it was fresh and hot. Even though the restaurant was clean, the waitress was nice, and the portions were of good size I will not be returning only because I needed more flavor in the food and Metro missed the mark.

    We are in town on vacation and this place was recommended by our hotel staff. It did not disappoint. Food was great, service too. Lela or maybe Lila (I think that was her name, an extremely lovely Greek heritage woman). The diner is clean as can be. Food was very good and good size portions. Arrived timely. Our ice tea glasses never got empty before they were topped off. That always a rarity for me. Seldom does any restaurant keep my glass full, but it was here. Off the hook service with a smile. Hubby had ribs and wings, I had their special Steak stir fry. We were so full we couldn't eat it all, but we did order slices of their cakes to bring back to the hotel for later. We hear their peanut butter cookies are off the hook and always sold out quickly. Lila offered to hold a half dozen for me tomorrow when they come in. PB cookies are my favorite so I gotta try them. We did and they were awesome

    Awesome place, awesome people, awesome food and awesome atmosphere. I ended up here with 7 members of my film crew for lunch out of need and necessity of proximity, but it ended up being one of the best food/lunch/diner experiences I have had had in a long time. Food is absolutely old school classic diner style, and with a super tasty classic diner style dishes, and an amazing and very friendly vibe. They also have some of the most visually beautiful' and tasty assortment of cakes, pies, desserts etc. I have ever soon in any diner I was ever in. Highly Recommended!

    Chicken noodle soup

    The food here is always amazing! I have tried several items throughout many years and the food is always consistently tasty. I have never had a bad dish. Excellent place to eat for breakfast, groups and late night dining. service is pretty fast and excellent conconsidering how busy they get. Plenty of parking around the building. They also have a lot of cakes to choose from, although I have yet to try any of them in the many years I have been coming here.

    This is a Reuben panini. I love Reuben's but this one was nasty. Loaded with fat into the little red meat.

    The parking lot is crowded on a Sunday morning. People really show up for the restaurant. I choose To Go order. The Reuben was lined with white fat. I gagged after I began to chew it. $15 bucks too, with no drink.

    Char Grilled Salmon

    Neat lil convenient space sitting in Stone Mountain, adjacent to the Netherworld macabre. Caters mostly to older folks usually; and due to proximity to N., you get all kinds at night. Menu quite varied and Expansive. Check out the numerous pics. Active bar, and if you love cakes n desserts, u came to the right place. Grub choices everything from Greek gyros, Italian lasagna, Fajitas, to good ole backyard burgers n fries. The mystifying calamari and salmon were nice btw. Service was rite on. Hopefully u sit in Dunja's or Naima's areas, with v kind prompt service and energy. Thx.

    We split the Country Fried Catfish entree (2 filets, 2 sides + salad)

    Inside kind of looks like a sketchy diner but the food is good. They could probably do a better job at cleaning regularly.

I mixed the drink so it wasn't the rose syrup pooling at the bottom. The viet coffee isn't a real Vietnamese iced coffee. It was just a strong coffee. I'll give this place another try because they have frappes which looked really good in other peoples hands. However, the atmosphere and interior was amazing. It's like a three room cafe with 2 bathrooms. The cafe room is beautifully decorated with trinkets and posters. There's a main seating area with the shop name on the wall and a big shelf of games you can play like banana grams! The last room is like a study room with 5 tables and outlets by the walls. Good study cafe. They have a small lot with about 6-8 spaces on the right before you see the cafe. Additionally they have one hour street parking around the cafe (labeled with signs). Shop is located in a quiet little area, glad I stopped by.

    Wow! It's places like these that make me realize the importance of my role as a Yelp Eliter/…read moreAllstar. This place is a local GEM. Plain and simple. And it's OUR jobs to shed light on these fabulous small businesses! What I miss most about my college/ grad school towns, is the quaint, small-town, community-supported vibes you get and the connection you are able to form with your community by not only shopping locally but by building a relationship with the people and places you live. Not only is Haven a delicious, well-serviced food spot, it is a community gathering home of unparalleled service, inviting you to connect. I drove across town 30-minutes at rush hour just to make it here for a dinner sandwich, before closing. It was SO worth it. I bought a delicious Cinnamon Danish Pastry and their Signature Turkey Pesto Sandwich-- a popular one! The Owner, Umberto let me taste their homemade Hibicious Lemonade Mix, which was delightful. I can't wait to point friends, family, and fans here to say Haven is SO "WORTH THE DRIVE," and it's going to keep you coming back for more! Congrats on surviving and THRIVING in your first year, Haven. Cheers to many more to come!! Looking forward to joining you guys on one of your last-Fridays of the month events: music, dancing, charcuterie, and wine-- one of these days! EVERYONE Come check them out

    I absolutely love this spot in downtown Lilburn!! It is so cute inside and a very nice vibe…read moreambiance. I have come here to just chill on the couch, get work done, or take a look at the food and drinks! I decided to try this sandwich and it was made very fresh! I'm not the biggest fan of all the cheese (just not for me), but I was a big fan of the sourdough bread!! I would go back for their cookies/brownies or to just chill inside and enjoy the vibes! The service is also super patient and welcoming also! I will be back again and again!!
