My family has been eating at Rick Tanner's for about 6 years. We have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. However, on our last few visits we've noticed the "housekeeping" isn't what it should be. Partially cleaned tables, dirty, smeared windows, and even sub par restrooms. There's always plenty of staff, but they're standing around with nothing immediate to do. I'm hoping if others express their concern, the situation can be turned around leading to a more enjoyable experience!! read more

Vickery Village - Cumming - Post Road Rick Tanners aka Tanners aka Cherry Street Brewery has been around Atlanta as long as I can remember. I can recall seeing Rick hanging out working in one of his booths at the PIB location. Great casual dining room with outside patio seating available by the parking lot. What is good? Just about everything! Chicken Fingers basket with fries and honey mustard. Their honey mustard is so good and compliments their tasty crispy chicken fingers. The award winning chili (made with brewhouse beer) is VERY good and I can see why it's award winning - just need to add hot sauce if you like spicy. Buffalo Chicken Dip with carrots / celery / and what I assume are house made chips - Yummy! Smothered Chicken - this was a favorite of ours YEARS ago. I need to order it again soon. I recall it being a great combination and feels like comfort food. There is only ONE thing we ordered that I would say DO NOT ORDER ... Turkey & Dressing Dinner - I am almost certain I had it years ago when it was good - moist oven roasted turkey. This weeks turkey dinner - such a disappointment. I checked the ToGo box and saw dried out slices of turkey - I asked the manager how it was prepared and probably should have shown her - it can't be the standard of what they serve. It was DRY to begin with then thin sliced and grilled making is extremely dry. The sides however were very good - green beans - so good and the mashed potatoes & gravy plus the dressing was very good. On a positive note about the turkey - my cats enjoyed the dry chewy turkey. :) Will we go there again - YES! Highly RECOMMEND for comfort food / casual dining. read more

This was my first time visiting Rick Tanners and my bartender Brandy made it a great experience! She was so personable and knowledgeable about her spirits giving me good drink suggestions. I'll definitely be back and suggest my friends give Ricks a visit and ask for Brandy. read more

Had the sweetest little family dinner at Cherry Street Brewing! The food was amazing, but the real highlight was Sarah, the manager. She took a moment to chat with us and made the whole experience feel extra warm and personal. You can tell she truly cares--definitely coming back! read more

Great family restaurant with friendly staff and the food and beers are really good. Hard to find a nice family owned place these days and they are in a very convenient location. read more

I loved everything I got here! I'm assuming they're associated with Cherry Street Brewing due to the huge sign out front, but that explains the pretty extensive beer menu. They also have a great selection of wine and cocktails as well as sodas if that's not your jam. To start we got the chicken lips. OH MY WORD. Get them. It's like a chicken dip recipe inside an egg roll. For my mail dish I got the smothered and covered chicken with a side of Mac n cheese (because I am a huge Mac n cheese fan and have to try it every where it's available). It was all so good and filling! I took about half the chicken dish home. They had a bread pudding special for dessert and I also highly recommend that if you're a bread pudding fan! read more

I really want to give this place a 5 because I have been coming for years but for me the service just goes back and forth. We used to have this one really good waitress but recently we have been disappointed with younger inexperienced servers. We were even told they couldn't serve us food or beer once even though it was an hour till close and the restaurant was full.... Nevertheless we finally went back last night and again, service was just mid. Had to ask to for water and silver ware but otherwise fine. I ordered the Sun is High hazy IPA and per usual the beer never disappoints. For dinner, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese and I really should stick to the classics. The sandwich was kind of hard to bite into but the Mac and cheese was stellar. If you're going to get food, I suggest the chicken tenders because I usually get those and wow theirs are pretty unbeatable. Overall, nice restaurant could be better with better service. read more

Food was decent but the service was . None of the servers knew how to smile. They looked completely annoyed when asked a simple request. And it took asking twice to actually make it happen. It did not make for an enjoyable lunch date. read more

My family and I used to love this place for dinner and drinks but lately their service hasn't not been worth 5 stars. We came in a Thursday night after 7 and it wasn't that busy inside but they had some people seated outside. We got seated immediately but they did put us at a table near the kitchen with the inside being pretty open which was weird. It took a little while for a waitress to come by and start our order with drinks and they walked by our table several times. Once we ordered our drinks the service turned much better. Our order was placed and our food was brought out fresh and hot. I do hope to come back and give them 5 stars if the service is better. Overall, we love the food and drinks and menu, but with our service being not the best 4 stars. read more

Love this place. You need to try the chicken lips. So so good. They have great wings here too. Our server was awesome and attentive. I cannot say enough about the atmosphere. Very laid back, no rush kind of place where you can drink a beer or 5 and enjoy a great meal in a chilled environment. Oh, there were no chicken lips in the chicken lip appetizer. Do chicken have lips? Beaks right? Well, whatever it is, it's awesome... read more

Experience started out great, we had our two small children with us and enjoyed a nice lunch. A group with more than 12 children came in shortly after we started eating. The adults all sat inside and the children (several younger than 5 years old) sat separately on the patio. This was a complete chaotic disaster. The children were running around, no supervision at all, acting like they were at a park. Although this is mostly poor parenting on behalf of the patrons, the restaurant should not have supported this. Not only was it incredibly neglectful and irresponsible, the service at that group arrived was nonexistent. We had to stand up to leave before anyone even brought us our check. read more

The food is A-OK. The service we received was enjoyable. I can tell customer service is top of mind for all staff members. We ordered the following: Cheesy Chicken Lips (4) $8 Rotisserie Chicken on Rice $12 Pork Tacos $12 Bubba Wings (10) $10 We started with the Cheesy Chicken Lips which are fried egg rolls stuffed with rotisserie chicken, Wisconsin cheese and cream cheese. Served with queso. They were cheesy indeed and somewhat appetizing. They claim to have world famous rotisserie chicken, and the way it's described on the menu is very appealing. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The chicken was a bit dry and lacked flavor. The bbq sauce it came helped a little. The mac and cheese was decent. The green beans looked and tasted like they came out of a can. My son had pork tacos and rice, and seemed to enjoy it. My husband thought the wings were mediocre. I appreciate the ample portions, fair price, and quick service. Rick Tanner's has a laid back, sports bar atmosphere. It can get pretty loud on a busy night. Space is a bit tight inside, but they offer outside seating. read more

I brought my visiting family to Tanners for lunch yesterday. I wanted them to experience a local restaurant and to see Vickery. We started with Cheesy Chicken lips. These are so good. I ordered the Chicken Tender Platter with Fries and Green Beans. The Chicken Tenders are AMAZING. White meat, great crust and moist. Sometimes I add more to the platter so I can enjoy at home over a waffle. If you are out this way, you should plan a visit. Don't miss Cherry Street Brewing next door. read more

The food was tasty and service was good. 4 of us, we had red fish w/green beans & black bean soup; meatloaf w/green beans & mashed potatoes w/gravy; burger w/fries & green beans; fried chicken tenders w/green beans & Mac/cheese. Everything was good, desserts to go bread pudding w/caramel sauce & carrot cake (it was just a bit dry) but all good flavor. read more

I was recently invited to check out the new brunch specials at Rick Tanner's/Cherry Street so my mom and I went out for a Galentine's Day brunch yesterday. They currently have a Mardi Gras menu that meets all of your shellfish and boudin sausage desires. They even crafted some unique Mardi Gras cocktails! We tried the NOLA Coffee and the Southern Bellini. The coffee was pretty strong, but it will definitely wake you up (it's coffee with Jameson and whipped cream). I ordered the Southern Bellini for myself, it was sweet and so fun to drink! They also have a Cajun Bloody Mary (which we didn't order) that's topped with a crawfish, it looked incredible. For food, I tried the Boudin Bennie. It's an English muffin topped with avocado spread, boudin sausage, an egg and Cajun hollandaise sauce. The sausage had a little kick to it, which balanced so well with the avocado and egg. This dish was so delicious, I highly recommend trying it! I love the limited time only menus because it offers so many unique dishes you can't find other places. My mom decided to stick with their regular brunch menu and ordered the Cheesy Biscuit Bowl with gravy and sausage. It looked so good!! It's served like a skillet with 2 biscuit slices topped with sausage and gravy, lots of cheese and 2 eggs on top. The entire staff is amazing. Libby was our server, she was the sweetest and was very attentive. Loli was also incredibly kind and friendly. You can tell that the management/owners really care about what they're doing and the food they're creating. I can't wait to come back in March for their St. Patrick's brunch!! read more

Really good drinks and yummy food. Our first server in the bar area wasn't terribly attentive but we moved into the main dining area and Kurt took fantastic care of us. I had the prime rib and cheddar sandwich on rye- great! And I had the empress 75 gin drink- I had to write the recipe because it was inspired! read more

Sat 3/10/19 lunch - party of 3 While visiting my son last weekend, we were on the hunt for a brunch spot. Yelp suggested Rick Tanner's so off we went. Sadly they only offer brunch on Sundays. We decided to stay and try out their lunch foods. They offer a lot of BBQ, rotisserie chicken and burgers. Both sons got the chicken tenders with fries ($12.50). I had the fish and chips ($13.00). The tenders were tasty, with a very light batter and seasoning. The fries were not that great - not crispy on the outside. I thought the fish were too greasy. Definitely subpar taste and portions for the price. The best part of the dining experience was our waiter Aaron. He was very personable and attentive. read more

This is so nostalgic for me. Though they are no longer called Cheesy Chicken Lips, they are still very similar and taste amazing. Their honey mustard is amazing and the same. Good location, friendly staff and a buzzing place! Classic family restaurant. read more

Rick Tanners is lively and centrally located within Vickery Village next to Cherry Street Brewpub. My friend and I dined in and the first thing we noticed was that the table was sticky. We proceeded to order and I had the chicken finger plate. The chicken fingers were not well-breaded and the honey mustard sauce was flavorless and watery. Needs some work. read more

Best chicken tenders and honey mustard! Their fries and fried fish are amazing, too!

This place has steadily gone down hill. It is officially off my list after over 10 years of coming. You get there at 9:15 pm on Friday night people are being served and you are told they are closing soon and basically they don't want to serve you ! If you get served their food is cold and their fries are always cold ! We hate to say goodbye but if you don't want to serve people please turn your open sign off and move on! There is plenty of other restaurants that serve around you and treat customers right! Just in Awgh ! We have had bad food and not wanting to be waited on at 9:00 pm and 9:15 and then sometimes we get there at 9:30 and they serve us mediocre food. I am sorry what time is closing time and what time of the day do you serve the good quality you use to serve? Thanks but we are done with Tanners! Good luck ! read more

Popped in here to meet up with a friend while visiting from Philadelphia. We like trying local brews when we travel. I hate IPAs and I liked that this place had a hefeweizen on their menu in addition to selling food so we tried it out. First we walked into the taproom next door and realized they don't sell food there, just some light snacks, so we walked over here. My boyfriend and I were seated at a table while we waited for his friend to arrive. A waitress came over with, I am guessing, a trainee waitress and introduced themselves. I knew what I wanted but my boyfriend wasn't quite prepared and the waitress seemed annoyed by that and offered, more snotty than helpful, to get us waters while we figured it out. When she came back a while later, we ordered our beers and the hummus plate to start but we were still waiting for our third and didn't want to order meals yet. About 5-10 minutes later she finally came back with our beers and asked if we were ready to order - GIRL WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR FRIEND. I feel you. I have been a waitress on a Friday night trying to get out and get my own life started but your restaurant is open and I am here trying to give you my money so chill. Not sure why this place gave you a trainee on a Friday night but it's not my problem. Not only that but you're trying to rush me and yet everything I ask you for takes 10 minutes to get back to us so make up your mind. At some point I realized my glass had a crack in it so when the waitress was running by I asked if she could get me a new pour in a different glass. She seemed to slow down after that. Friend arrives and he asks if they had any sours on tap. No. What do you recommend? "Uhhh..." COME ON. You've been rushing us along this whole time and someone asks for a recommendation and you blank out? He asked about some pink beer and she wasn't sure, and so I pointed to a sign behind us talking about the watermelon blonde and she was like ohhhh, do you want that one? Lort. Who was training who here? Meanwhile, hummus was delicious. For food we ordered chili cheese dogs and fried chicken sandwiches with mac n cheese and fries. I always get a little nervous when I order something off a menu that claims to be "world famous" but nothing else was really speaking to me. When our food arrived, it looked great. The chicken looked extra crispy, and it was. The mac n cheese looked creamy, and it was. But I didn't get a lot of flavor from anything. Texture was on point but where is the seasoning? I put honey mustard on the sandwich and it tasted a little better but still not blowing me away for being world famous. I feel like I have had better fried chicken in Philly. I'm in Georgia eating at a place that claims to have world famous chicken fingers and I am reminiscing about a sandwich I had in Philadelphia - home of cheese steaks and pretzels... that's a little embarrassing. Overall, place was a solid meh. The hefeweizen was good and the hummus was good so maybe if you're feeling peckish just go to the taproom and taste some brews and get the light snacks instead. read more

First off, I love Rick Tanners and Cherry street! We used to go there all the time and only quit during the pandemic. We have been to several locations but really like the new one near our house. We were actually excited to get their food again. We are both in poor health and thought a curbside pickup was perfect. We got there ten minutes before the scheduled time and parked in the curbside parking place. We waited. And we waited. We waited much longer than the time given by MobileBytes. I could not navigate the stairs so my wife had to go in even though we were directly outside the ToGo door and could see the servers there. The order was just sitting while the staff were chatting. Only four tables were occupied. No apology. No excuses. I checked the food before leaving and it was already cold. When I got home it was a soggy greasy mess. I ate some of it but most of it was thrown away. Maybe I don't understand what curbside means, but at most places it is not confused with ToGo. read more

the chips are seasoned with salt and pepper. The fish has a great crunchy batter, then the fish just melts away. read more

About once a year we wind up here. Then we forget the food is average at its best, and expensive for a what you get. Tonight was no different. Patty Melt and fries. $13. Two attempts at hot fries, still cold and tasted old. The burger was way small and without flavor. The waitress was inattentive. Right up until tip time. Yeah I hope I remember this next time I think about going back. read more

We went here for our Sunday brunch . Seating was quick but the service was very slow and not that impressive . We ordered from the brunch menu both kids and adults . I liked the bisque meat slider but the basic omelet wasn't as great . Coffee mugs were really dirty and old . For the ambience I think the service and presentation could be better . I like this place for dinner not as impressed with the brunch so far . read more

I heard they had a Buffalo Chicken Wing Salad so went to check it out. Ordered a Cobb Salad with bacon, blue cheese, egg, and tomato. I added the Buffalo style chicken strips to the salad and was shocked at the size of the chicken. Added a glass of fresh brewed sweet tea! Delish! Loved the decor and can see it would be a good spot to watch sporting events. There were big groups there and we had to wait a bit for our food but was delish. read more

Horrible service. Small take-out order wasn't ready for an hour after giving a 20 minute wait time. Won't be ordering from them again.

After hearing about the famous "chicken fingers" raved by locals, me and some coworkers decided to come try it a couple months back. Long story short, we like the place a lot. Since i'm only in this area for lunch i stick to the lunch salad, which comes with the chicken fingers (delicious) and my coworkers get the chicken finger plate with fries (I'm trying to be somewhat healthy, ha!) Service is prompt and we have never had an issue. We'll still come here once every other week. Try it out! Plus they have homemade brews on tap! read more

The brewery is just trying to close. Servers had everything put away at 8:30, serving and flirting with the staff from the restaurant and talking about how quick they can get everyone out to get to another bar. No attention to guests or the beer. Serving high quality beer in plastic. A place to AVOID!!!! read more

If you love good food with a great atmosphere, Rick Tanners is a winner. It's the place you go when you want a laid back meal with a side of beer. Rick Tanners is located in Vickery Village, right next to Cherry Street Brewery(they are one in the same really). It's a fun place that's always packed, and while you might have to wait a few minutes for a seat they usually have one ready pretty quickly. There is also outside seating which is a great place to people watch, especially on a beautiful day The food is always good and while I wouldn't say this is a 5 star place, because it's just the average sports bar fare, it doesn't seem to ever disappoint. My favorite thing to get is the fish and chips with mac and cheese, it always hits the spot! The pulled pork sandwich is another great choice and my Fiance likes to get one of their rotisserie chicken plates and he always leaves happy and full. They have a great selection for breakfast/brunch too. The last time I went I got the grilled salmon with a side of green beans, I must admit it wasn't my favorite meal at Ricks but it wasn't bad either. Let's not forget the brews! Because they are connected to Cherry Street, they have almost the same selection as their brother shop next door. There is a lot to do in Vickery Village but Rick Tanners is definitely a place you need to check out! read more

Usually love ordering from here while I'm at cherry street. They decided to close an hour early on a Saturday night cause they were "slow". Couldn't even give me a pretzel to go. Sucks when you're at a brewery with no food options and the only restaurant around decided they just don't wanna do their job and serve customers. Very interesting. Especially when they're connected to the actual brewery. read more

Too noisy, average food, and not worth the experience. The only thing going for it is location without meaningful competition

Today's corned beef is dried out. So looking forward to their Rueben which is normally delicious. Not sure if it's because they made a lot? And, be sure if you order to specify corned beef Reuben. I ordered take out a few weeks ago and ended up with turkey and coleslaw. I was assured a correction to my bill would be made, but that never happened. read more

Well, well. We still come here frequently. And it is growing on me. Tonight we popped in for a drink before date night came to an end. Coconut Porter. Enough said. God I love that stuff. Smooth...so smooth. Hubby ordered chicken lips as a little snack. Listen, nothing sounds as weird and socially inappropriate as chicken lips. Who wouldn't order them?! They were cheesy goodness and served with a side of queso. Perfect drinking food!! We will be back. It's so convenient and they have porter. I may not like the chicken tender batter but they're growing on me. read more

Wonderful! Neighborhood tavern and grill chicken is great. Staff is always wonderful and helpful

Good food, surrounded by Cumming's fake rich. This review in no way, shape, nor form should be taken as a dig toward Tanner's. Their food has always been good at any of the other old locations. This one however, has it's caveats. If you are familiar with this area, then you know that nouveau riche folks live nearby, and you should be aware of this because it WILL affect your dining experience or at the very least, your parking experience just trying to get into either Cherry Street Brewing or Rick Tanner's. My advice is to park as far away as possible and walk, because the army of base-model Mercedes and BMW cars will most likely try to kill you, and then justify it by blaming you, the plebe. This appears again inside the restaurant, but at a far less invasive manner. The food at Tanner's is consistently good, and the portions are ample. The service is above average, but not extraordinary, and usually gets the job done enough to feet my fat face with chicken something'rather. The sides are good, and the decor is on-par with any OTP sports bar (think non-company store Taco Macs). It can get loud at this location from one group of sportsball fans trying to overtalk the next and so-on, and so-forth. Just know that if you aren't a sportsball fan and your ask for something other than sportsball, you will be shamed. If not by the wait staff, then by the sportsball father at the table next to you with his Costa sunglasses on his Salt Life visor and Yeti Solo Cup. Be prepared for all sorts of entitlement that a $75,000/yr job gets you. Rick Tanner's establishment is not to blame. read more
