    Everything you need to know, right here: Location. Located at the Hilton hotel in Hapeville, this restaurant is on the first floor, just off the lobby. It's fairly big and connected to a long, full-sized bar with televisions, ideal for watching sporting events. The area itself is a little transitory, very close to the airport, with lots of hotels within a few blocks ranging from Econolodge to the Hilton (which is probably the most upscale in this immediate area). Parking. The parking is gated, or you can valet. If you choose the gated self-parking, you will need to take a ticket or enter your credit card to get the arm to go up. The restaurant does validate the parking fee so bring your ticket with you, or if you used your credit card, they'll put the validation sticker on a slip of paper for you to scan. Be aware that if you do use your credit card for entry, you'll need to scan the same credit card to get out along with the validation sticker. Ambiance. Casual but upscale. Very comfortable and relaxing. Service. Service was good the night we went, until we paid the check. Then our water glasses sat empty and no one came back to check on us. Food. Okay. My friend had the salmon which she thought was really good. I had the wedge salad and added steak. Although I ordered the steak medium rare it was well done, very thin, and not a good cut of meat. Chewy and gristly. Would not spend the $11 to add that again. The wedge was good, however. The wine list was good and there was a nice range and selection of local and non-local wines and beers. Plus a full service bar and signature cocktails. Note: One thing to note. We split the bill and my share came to $50. I tipped $10 but got a notice from my credit card company the following day asking if I'd left a 35% tip. Of course I hadn't, so I looked into it and saw they had entered $18 instead of $10. I called the restaurant, gave them my check number and told them the tip had been added incorrectly. They assured me they'd fix it. Four days later, when it hadn't been addressed, I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company to resolve it. Sometimes tips are accidentally added in wrong and sometimes it happens intentionally, but the management's lack of immediate response was concerning. So be sure to check your credit card statement if you pay with one.

    Brown over cooked French fries, 2nd order, dried out!

    Do not waste your money. I wasted $106.00! They have a built in 20% gratuity! March 29, 2026 I ordered the shrimp po boy for lunch with French fries. The sandwich was dry, shrimp were bland, ordered sauce and waited 8 more minutes, sandwich was cold. Two orders of French fries were cooked brown. Ordered beef brisket and pulled pork to go, both were bland pulled pork was chopped, and macaroni and cheese was terrible. It taste like it was out of a box, nothing like the pictures on line.

    The best steak sandwich you'll ever eat!

    This is my new favorite spot! I did not have high expectations of the hotel restaurant... The fact I almost didn't go because it was a hotel restaurant. But it was convenient. Anyway, what an amazing welcome from Mr., John. He took care of us from the very beginning. He was so kind and escorted us right to the restaurant. Then our server A. he made exceptional suggestions in terms of what to order from the menu... According to my sister, he makes a main lemon drop martini as well! There's the location. Restaurant is in a hotel lobby... But it is a beautiful lobby. The seating is comfortable. The space is wide open and it look like a great place to watch a game. I would definitely just want to hang out in this space because of the awesome vibe. But most importantly the food! Oh my God, the food! The best steaks I ever had in life. I ordered the steak sandwich I did not have high hopes because steak sandwiches are always a little tough... Not so. This state was amazingly tender. The toppings were awesome and there was sauce on it. They just gave it the slightest hint of sweetness... It was just amazing. And the collard greens! Oh my God I wanted to run back in the kitchen, I was sure that my mother was in there wrestling up those vittles! Anyway, what can I say ? This definitely my new spot. The ambience, the service outstanding!

    Salmon with smoked cheddar grits

    Don't sleep on this restaurant because it's in a Hotel. We 2 nights in a row and both meals were amazing. First night I had the salmon that was cooked perfect with a side of the cheddar smoked grits. The grits were sooo good the second night I went for the shrimp and grits plate with smoked pulled pork on top. We don't get anything like this on the West Coast. Oh my God it was so good. I will be back!

    Yummy food, really nice ambience, delicious margaritas! Host was lovely, server left a little to be desired. Tish I believe, was very forgetful, sweet but a bit empty headed. When did servers stop asking how things are going?

    This is located in the Hilton hotel. Restaurant is very nice. Sleek and modern. TVs at the bar. Staff was really nice. We started with the green tomatoes. It was really good. Also had pimento cheese with it. It's only 2 tomatoes though. There was 3 of us. We just wish we were told that to begin with. For my drink I had All That Razz. I loved it. It's a perfect mix. For dinner I had the Coca Cola short rib. That was soooo good! Very tender and well seasoned. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were also great. Please note the menu online was slightly different than the menu they gave us. Also parking is validated. I'd come back if I'm ever on that side of town.

    This is one of our go-to bbq spots! Great for take-out, delivery, or dining in…read more Large parking lot, easy ordering, plenty of space to dine in, and a bar inside as well. Every meal and side we have had from here has been great. The pork spare ribs and smoked wings are my standout meats here, they are so smoky and flavorful. The collard greens are perfectly savory and delicious, we tried the potato salad for the first time and it's my favorite I've had so far, it's not sweet at all which is my preference. Always get a peach cobbler, too. Service is about as fast as it can be given how busy they can be!

    My wife, stepdaughter, son-in-law, and I stopped by Pit Boss BBQ while passing through Atlanta…read more I had the pulled chicken BBQ sandwich along with the dry rub wings. The pulled chicken sandwich was good, but unfortunately the wings were a disappointment. They lacked flavor and weren't enjoyable enough for me to finish. My wife and son-in-law both had the pulled pork and thought it was good. My stepdaughter ordered the brisket and described it as just "okay." The service was underwhelming. The staff didn't seem particularly interested in helping, and the self-serve ice machine repeatedly jammed. The dining area also could have used a little more attention to cleanliness. Overall, the food ranged from okay to good, but nothing stood out enough to make us want to come back. With so many great BBQ options around Atlanta, I'd recommend trying somewhere else.

    I'd give them 4.5 if I could but since they were pretty good I'll go ahead and give them a 5…read more Being intentional on Juneteenth to patronize Black owned businesses (except our stop for a quick drink at Paper Planes) we chose to eat here than at the food trucks at the Hapeville Juneteenth celebration, which was really good. We parked behind the building and a woman who worked there had the door open. She had on a shirt that read Legalize being Black. My husband had on a Black Lives Matter shirt, & I had on a Juneteenth shirt. She smiled and raised her fist at us as we asked to enter through the door and we responded in kind. I love us! She toke U.S. to grab a menu as we walked in to the right of the bar. We found a high top and found what we wanted and went to the counter to order. The prices are reasonable until you get to adding the sides. I overheard another worker tell a couple who ordered after us to order the veggie plate if they were getting 4 sides as it was cheaper. I wish the person who took our order had told use that. The entrees are à la carte and priced reasonably. The sides are $5 each with a few exceptions, a hoecake is $2 and mac & cheese and a couple other sides are $6. Keep that in mind when you come. Our total for our inside dining with a can of ginger ale, fountain Diet Coke, & tip was like $70+ & the to go order for our son's meal w/o a drink was ~$30. It's definitely a good value if you only need an entree and have sides already. The food is good and has large pieces of meat & decent portions so there you go... I ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter, smoked beef brisket with the barbecue sauce on the side, smoked turkey cabbage, dressing, & the lemon pound cake. Ironically, the fried green tomatoes came out last. They were piping hot though. They could've used a dash of salt but that cornmeal batter was perfection on the tomatoes. You get 3 and 1 was cut a little too thick and it was slightly mushy maybe cause it had to cook longer? But it was still good. The beef brisket was good. It's sliced thin and had that good smoke flavor and was seasoned well. The thicker slices could've been a bit more tender but overall it could rival some barbecue joints. The dressing was good and so was the cabbage, though it was almost tad bit saltier than I'd like. I'd order everything I had again. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed my food. You know not everyone who claims to cook southern food can do so. Oh the pound cake was good and moist. It reminds me of Sammy Chhesecake pound cake. My husband ordered the 3 pieces of fried chicken, collard greens & they do have a lil kick as the menu suggests, green beans, & yellow rice. He was pleasantly surprised with how big the pieces of chicken were. Nowadays people give you what looks like pigeon parts ‍. He said it was a tad salty. He said he also enjoyed his meal otherwise. I forgot to get pictures of the food for our son's takeout order of fried pork chops, collard greens, mac & cheese, & a hoecake. He liked his food as well but also said his pork chops, which were nice size center cut, were well seasoned, but a little too much. He enjoyed the meal and his 1st hoecake. They also do catering and seemed to have a large catering order being prepared to go out. The restaurant & woman's restroom was clean. The staff were friendly and quickly acknowledged us. The music was good but it would've been good to hear a mix of old school with the hip hop since it was Juneteenth. They have a full bar. The only thing I didn't like was Fox News & another conservative news channel on; at least not on JuneteenthZ a generic movie or TV show would've been better for me anyway. They had a steady stream of to go orders and in person dining. I guess we're just late to know about

    Our first mistake was not reading the reviews.

With no self-parking visible, you're forced to follow the road behind the building into a paid lot. Parking is free for the first 2 hours, which would later prove to be an issue. Inside, the hotel aesthetic is bright and clean, and we were promptly greeted and seated, however, this was the last positive moment regarding service. Service: Our server, Sierra, set the tone quickly. Despite the restaurant not being busy and appearing well-staffed, it took an unusually long time just to take our drink orders. When we asked for white zinfandel, we received a rude response: "We only have the drinks on the menu." Ironically, my friend then asked for a margarita, which was not on the menu, and the bartender somehow managed to make it. Consistency and professionalism were clearly missing. Throughout the experience, attention to service level was non-existent. Sierra couldn't keep track of who ordered what, and delays continued for everything: taking orders, delivering takeout containers, splitting checks, and even getting water refills (which never arrived). At this point, we were joking that the server must get a kickback for delaying guests long enough to exceed the free parking window. Check-Out Chaos: At checkout, mass confusion set in. Sierra painstakingly recorded who ordered what, yet our checks still came out wrong. To avoid further delays, we privately sorted the difference within our group. When the signed receipts and cards were returned, we asked about parking validation--only to learn parking is just free for 2 hours, no validation provided. We rushed out, only to hit 2 hours and 1 minute, triggering a parking fee. As if that wasn't enough, one of our party members went back to leave a tip, only to be told we never paid. Sierra accused us of taking both copies of the receipt, despite never providing two in the first place. When we quickly returned to reconcile the confusion and were met with shifting stories: first we didn't owe anything, then she thought we were hotel guests, then finally that we took both receipts. The insult was unnecessary, disrespectful, and completely out of line. Final Thoughts: Great food, however server was rude, disorganized, and accusatory. If you go, pack patience and maybe a stopwatch for parking.
