    Made to order sign. And yes they do!.....3/5/2019
    Kesht R.

    I finally made it here on 3/5/2019. Someone told me about Stem's over a year ago. Can't believe I've driven by here a hundred times or more and didn't know it existed. It's a tiny whole in wall next to the Florist. Easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Well I wasn't sure what to get. So for nostalgia I ordered red link split with everything (mustard, ketchup, chili, and onions). The hot dog buns was lightly grilled (toasted). Hand cut fries were great. The special comes with that and a can soda for $5.75 +tax. I also ordered a side of grits. No flavor--but that was fine because I was able to fix it up the way I like when I ate it later. The staff was nice. I will definitely be back. I wish they had longer hours but oh well... I'll get it in when I can.

    I'd travel for great food! Thumbs up to "Stem's Cafe!" I walked into such a pleasant and homely atmosphere. Ms. D was so welcoming, felt like I was home. The aroma was like my grandmothers kitchen! I ordered: salmon patty, I say "croquettes," cheese grits, scrambled eggs and toast!!! If you're in metro Atlanta or surrounding area and you want some good southern home cooking, just "branch" out to Stem's! No disappointment here!!!

    Everything is cooked to order. This place was booming . Uber Eats orders coming in back to back . I waited 20 mins for our food to be cook . Everything was fresh and delicious . I will be back to try their salmon breakfast patties and other items on the menu . It's very easy to miss the location . It's next door to a floral place . They accept cards and cash . If you do not have time to wait for your food please do not order . It's back owned

    I love this little restaurant. It's one of my favorite breakfast spots on the southside. The parking is tight, tight, tight and they cook their food as ordered so call ahead to get a jump on it. One thing I really like is that the employees are always friendly...never a bad attitude or an employee that wishes they were somewhere else. Food is excellent. There were a few hiccups when I ordered cheese in my grits or eggs and never got it. This happened when ordering through Uber Eats. I kindly asked for that to be refunded and they obliged. I've tried different things on their menu...my favorite being their Omelets and Salmon Patties.

    To each their own. You know how you can tell how good a resturant will be by how many customers? There was a steady stream of customers. The inside of the resturant is small and was packed continuously. However, this spot is not for me or my family. We waited over 40-45 mins, when we were told only 20-25 minutes. We ordered three meals for breakfast. Each meal came with the 3 pancakes and a meat, everything else we wanted had to be ordered on the side. So, we ordered 3 side scrambled eggs with cheese, two sides of homestyle potatoes and one side of grits. I wish my husband could get his money back. My husband rarely complains, especially about food. The pancakes tasted greasy and were VERY thick, like hard to swallow without taking a sip of a drink thick. The potatoes are difficult to describe..they were bland and two minutes from becoming mashed potatoes if they cooked any longer. You see the small helping in the picture? The potatoes were $4.00, the eggs, another small helping cost $2.50 and were also bland. My husband also said the grits were bland. The food look good in the picture doesn't it ? Well, save your time and definitely save your money. Our food went right in the trash. Maybe some of the other menu items are delicious. However, I am not going to be the one to try and find out if they are. Needless to say, this was our first time and last time dining at this resturant. If I could give zero stars I would.

    Club croissant so delicious! Comes with fries canned soda of your choice. Sandwich has lettuce, tomato, ham, turkey, cheese, and bacon.

    Small place, to go orders mostly. Small lunch counter on the side with 3 stainless steel stools. The food is good. Breakfast and Lunch Staple on Campbellton Rd. I would try this place again.

We eat out often and everyone in our party cleaned their plates. This is a great compliment. However, the bread pudding was too dry and could not be rescued by the scoop of ice cream on top.

We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

    You're greeted with "Your Majesty" as soon as you walk in, and the restaurant fully commits to the…read moreroyal theme. That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here. Only comment is that the tables are pub or cafe style and best for small groups or just takeover a section like we did. Enjoy!

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.
