    We have always enjoyed coming here. From the food and atmosphere and also friendly staff it drew us back in every weekend husband is home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Today, we saw a decline. Not in the staff but there are some minor interior issues which could be addressed. As the dining area and service areas are open plan you can easily see the duct tape doors to the dishwashers area is in dire need of repair versus patching. Also it is rather filthy along the edges. The wall a/c unit also needs to be completely cleaned as it appears to have some grime building up[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Now for the biggest disappointment ... our food. Coffee - yummy Country fried steak biscuit..... yea nope not again. It's just like it says just a huge very thin slice of commercial packaged frozen patty of country fried steak laid across an open faced biscuit. I had a side of fresh fruit. But it was mostly out of season fruit so not sweet and still underripe. Biscuit was light and fluffy but I had to order a piece of cheese and some gravy to hide the flavor of the meat and coating. Chicken and waffles - husband's favorite here but today it wasn't the same at all. Chicken was super dry inside. Waffles he described as no different than ones he makes at the hotel lobby. All in all we will wait some before returning to try again at some point. Thank you to the wait staff for always having smiles and helping each other to keep us happy.

    Fried ribs with potato salad. Spectacular!

    Local favorite hits the road. That would be Salt & Pepper Cafe, a family operated Acworth gem we visited a year ago for an incredible brunch. They recently added a food truck and it is just as good. We tried it at The Outpost from Drowned Valley Brewing on Euharlee Creek (near Cartersville). A compact but flavorful menu featured the best food truck meal we've had to date (that includes lobster rolls, craft pizza, Phillies, Asian, etc.) Our new favorite: fried ribs. Five meaty ribs with light breading and just enough fry taste. We were cautious; our annual cardiologist visit was three days off. No worries; this was perfect. The side was a healthy helping of fresh potato salad. We paired it with Drowned Valley's just-released summer shandy (3.5 percent ABV). Also good: Chicken tenders with fries. We've added Salt & Pepper mobile to our stalking list as we'd do this again tomorrow. It was the best $18 we've yet to spend at a food truck. Service: excellent. Fast and you carry a buzzer that tells you the order is up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance. A food truck with a convenient design and friendly folks making magic inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] How good? We're trying to convince them to open a brick-and-mortar closer to Rome, Ga.

    The food here was sooo good. We had some parmasean breakfast potatoes to start....and they are definitely a must have. I had the veggie breakfast skillet. It was delicious. Loaded with veggies and the parmasean potatoes (definitely one of the stars of the dish). I went with scrambled eggs and substituted the mozzarella cheese for cheddar. This was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back. My friend is a regular and mentioned needing to get the parmasean potatoes and she was 1000% right. The menu was good and fairly priced. The waitress was amazing. She was attentive, informative and patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute little spot now that I know about them ill be back and when its warmer We can sit outside on the patio area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of parking since this is a plaza. Check them out.

    I haven't been here in over 4 years. I was in the area with my daughters and decided to stop for brunch. There was a small wait time (15 minutes) but once we were seated, our waitress came right over. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our table was close to the door so every time it opened, we felt a cool breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our food was fresh and hot and we did not wait too long for it. Our server was amazing. Constantly checking on us and making sure our food was to our liking. The service was just super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was packed but the noise level was low while we ate our food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My girls loved it so I know we'll have to come back. My daughter said it was the best omelet she ever had.

    A friend and I randomly chose this place in Acworth. Menu prices were very reasonable. The place is not so big. We got there around noon and it was packed but was pretty free around 130p. There was a bit of wait for the food but overall everything tasted good. We got the strawberry waffles, the Traditional Breakfast and the fried steak biscuit with gravy.... Potatoes were nice and crispy. Biscuit for the traditional breakfast arrived over 10mins after the plate was served but it was reallllllyyyy good! So get the biscuit. Took a point off because we sat underneath the dripping AC.... Orange juice wasn't filled all the way. My friend and I had the same size juice but she got more... needed to clean my utensils again... If I'm in the area, it's a place I'd definitely visit again

    Today my family and I decided to try Barn Belly Burgers after reading rave reviews--especially…read moreabout the Jerk Chicken Bowl. That was actually the main reason for our visit. Unfortunately, when I went to order, I was told they were out of rice and not serving it. Very disappointing. I decided to try the 10-piece lemon pepper wings instead and specifically asked for all flats. The order taker said it could be done. However, when my food came out, the wings were mixed. My husband spoke with who I assume was the owner, and she explained that they don't typically sell all flats because it leaves them with too many drums--which is understandable. However, that should have been communicated upfront, as I likely would have ordered something else or chosen to go elsewhere. The dining area also took away from the experience. The tables were filthy, and we had to ask for ours to be cleaned before we could even sit down. To make matters worse, most of the fountain drinks were out. I settled for fruit punch, which unfortunately wasn't good. My husband and son received their meals, and overall, the food was just average at best. Between the unavailable menu items, miscommunication, cleanliness issues, and overall quality, this experience fell short of expectations. We will not be returning.

I tried the tiramisu, creamy caramel, dalgona, coconut, and strawberry. Tiramisu and dalgona were the best (imo). Coconut was really good as well. Strawberry was oddly bitter and not good at all. My fav is the dalgona with cheese foam. They have a small selection of Korean chips and snacks, which was nice. They also have croffles and garlic cheese bread. It would be awesome if they expand the food offerings in the future. While it's a little in the middle of nowhere (for me anyway) I'm glad there is a place like this because there's not much variety on this side of Atlanta, in the Paulding area anyway. I can't speak to the boba drinks, but the orders coming out for other customers looked good. I love Vietnamese coffee and this was a good place to satisfy that craving, without having to drive over to Duluth lol.. Employees are friendly and helpful. The vibe inside was nice. Cozy chairs and a different game at each table. There was a small mistake in pricing (was supposed to get 20% off the coffee order, but the cashier forgot), but the store responded quickly and resolved it very nicely. Overall, a solid place to get a quick drink.

Why would a store that is exclusively known for boba, not have or run out of boba before the end of the day. They turn away paying customers who a look forward to a treat after a long day working and arrive before they close to ensure they are open. BUT they turn you away since they are close to closing. Not closed yet! And they are out of boba and tea!! What?!? Why are you in business if you don't have the single thing you're known for? I wish there was another place to get boba. The second star is only because they actually exist in the area. But they need some competition with a place that is fully stocked.
