4.5 Having had more…read morethan my fair share of dusty food and forced conversation, I texted my friend to beg him to rescue me from my work function and to find a place where we could get a drink. 'I'll do you one better,' he said. 'Say less,' I thought. Being that my buddy knows his way around food, drink and Atlanta (ITP and OTP), I knew I was in good hands. Turns out, we didn't have far to travel. As I was discovering, when in the Atlanta metro, it behooves you to eat as many wings as humanly possible. I'd already had my yearly physical so I was all in. Turns out that Clay's was a well-know, well-trod wings destination so I was psyched for the eating ahead of me. We set up shop on the patio and had a wonderfully delightful server wait on us. I didn't know what I was doing but my buddy did. I let him order and sat back and waited for the bounty. We caught up, laughed and did all the things and the food just kept coming. I knew I was in the right place. We got a basket of fries but made those bad boys Cajun. Do this. I used to live in New Orleans. The Cajun name is warranted. Fries should always be seasoned and/or have stuff on them. Always. Wanting to drink local, I helped myself to a Ginger Treehorn Cider. Served in a can, it had depth, generous bite and enough of a kick to know that the ginger was real and not just marketing. But the star of the show was the wings. A mix of drums and flats, these were not your grocery store chicken wings. These were meaty, larger than the average wing and as good as advertised. We ordered 20 for the two of us. Because he knows me, we maximized our sauces to get the best experience. We went to town on garlic parm, honey bbq, lemon pepper, and hot teriyaki. We.Tore.Them.Up! I had sauce on my fingers, face, hair, shirt, and other places and I.Did.Not.Care! Oh man. I don't usually indulge in wings because I'm afraid to be let down (I've been hurt too many times before). Not here. The night started mid (previous offsite) but ended in a food coma. How he drove me home, I do not know. Very happy to have experienced Clay's.

Clay's was a really great spot to catch up with some friends and get some quick but good food…read more The interior is a little small and caused long waits on a Friday night, but once you're seated the TVs are great and the food is really tasty. I had the cheesesteak while my friends had the wings and everyone's food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their meal. Another highlight is how well priced Clay's is and can really compete on price with lesser quality fast food places as my cheesesteak with fries was just $11. I think Clay's should definitely be considered as a great place to catch a game with some friends!

My boyfriend and I just moved to Sandy Springs and tried this HobNob location. We have been to…read moreother locations, but this location is by far our favorite! We brought our dogs and the staff members were infatuated with them. Hunter, one of the managers, had our server order our dogs grilled chicken without any seasoning. He also told us this location specifically gives bacon bits and grilled chicken to fur babies on the regular. Laura, our server for the night, was very attentive and friendly. On to the food, I ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken and my boyfriend got the classic chicken tenders with fries and honey mustard. I personally think the honey mustard is one of the best sauces on the menu up there with the homemade ranch. We also ordered the cheese curds as an app with ranch on the side. On a different visit to this HobNob, I ordered the Mediterranean chicken sandwich with fries and my boyfriend ordered the fish and chips. Overall 10/10 experience from the taste of the food, friendliness of staff, and ability to bring fur babies!!

Located in Ashford Lane among a strong lineup of dining spots, Culinary Dropout is a British-style…read moregastropub with great ambiance, a full bar, solid service, and really good food. It's also a great place to hang out with friends, especially with the plaza right outside offering plenty of food, dessert, and drink options. There's tons of outdoor seating, which makes it perfect for cooler weather and an easy date spot. Service was friendly, and while there was a bit of a wait for the main entrees, the charcuterie board held us over. We ordered the Caesar salad, feta tahini dip, steak frites, and spicy rigatoni. The dip was good but leaned a bit sweet for my taste. The Caesar salad was solid and straightforward. The steak frites was well-seasoned and nicely balanced with the arugula. The spicy rigatoni was creamy and rich, but I didn't get much heat and had to ask for extra chili powder to bring out any spice. Overall, a great spot and definitely worth a visit.

Been here a few times now and overall it's always solid. I usually get the mango habanero wings. They're good every time. Not something that completely blows you away but definitely solid. Fries are pretty good too and the ranch is actually really good. Service has always been great too. Every waitress I've had has been friendly and attentive. Overall 4/5. Simple, clean, to the point kind of place. Knows exactly what it is and does it well.

3.5 Despite having…read morenerdy tendencies, this wasn't the place for me. I'm thinking that I experienced it in its weaker era. I came here on a work trip so there was a LOT going on: food buffets, bar mania, games of all sorts. Had I come here with a group of friends to play games and sip on a drink I think I would have had a different (read: better) experience. That said, I appreciate that B&B exists and what it's trying to do. Despite being here as part of a big group, the staff was perfectly lovely and patient. That's not always the case when it comes to dealing with large groups. The food menu is confusingly large and caters to about every taste.* I got a little grossed out at the thought of eating around so much dust. Board games and consoles are dirty/dusty. They show both easily. Eating around/in that didn't appeal to me. What *did* appeal to me, though, was the thought of drinking a potion. From the glass (straight up D&D) to the color (blue), I was all in. The Mana Potion had a lot of the right elements (gin, blue curacao, elderflower liqueur, lemon, and Sprite) but the extra zhuzh for our party was team too much. The edible glitter made the drink a bit thick and didn't do wonders for my stomach. It's a tough criticism because I was here for an extra sparkly drink/potion. Definitely on brand. For me, Battle & Brew is an odd space that could benefit from some editing. But, it looks like I am in the minority. I can agree with not being the target audience. So, gamers, have at it! *I didn't experience much in the way of GF/DF/VG options but, again, target audience.

I was truly excited to try this place because it is such a cool concept. Went yesterday for dinner…read morewith my husband, daughter, and my friend and her daughter. We opted for the board games for $7 so that we could play together at the table while we ate, which is a great idea in theory but the execution left a lot to be desired. Most of the games we tried to play were old, dirty (yuck), and incomplete. For example, we were unable to play Guess Who because both the red and blue lineups were missing people and many of the people cards were torn into pieces. We were able to play What Do You Meme, but it was obvious that most of the meme cards were missing, so we had to stop abruptly when we ran out of new cards. Since people are eating and playing, effort should be made to keep the games clean, or at the very least, provide hand sanitizer at each table so that guests aren't grossed out about handling dirty game pieces in between grabbing bites of their sandwich or other finger food. I just feel like even though $7 for board game play is reasonable, it felt far less justifiable after experiencing the issues I just explained. If you are going to charge people any amount to use the games, ensuring that those games are complete and sanitary seems like a reasonable expectation. Service was okay but most of the food did not even meet the okay standard. We started with mozerrela sticks, which were okay. The fries with all our meals were obviously the frozen bagged kind you can find at any grocery store. They added seasoning but it's not enough to hide the fact that you are eating frozen fries at a sit down restaurant. My husband ordered the Don't Call It Hotlanta chicken sandwich and I think that was probably the best tasting thing we all ordered. I ordered the ATLA with cheese and did not like it very much. The bread was too crispy, the cheese was cold, and the overall flavor just didn't do it for me. My daughter ordered the mac and cheese with a side of fries. It does say on the menu that it is Kraft mac and cheese. She didn't complain, but she's 12 and not too picky so no surprise there. I had a soda water, my daughter had a sprite, and my husband had two mixed drinks (I think margaritas). Our total bill including the $7 for a crappy board game experience came out to $94 before tip. It was not worth it and I would never return for dinner nor can I recommend that others consider this a worthy dinner spot. Nevertheless, it would be a cool spot to come to with a big group of friends to play the computer and video games while enjoying a few drinks and maybe an appetizer or two. I could see that being a fun experience and would be open to returning to play the video games with friends or maybe one of their event nights like trivia that sounds like a good time, but I won't come back specifically for dinner because there are far better place to get a far superior meal for that price around here. So, at the end of the day, two stars is my review for the dinner and board game experience, but it would probably be closer to a 4 for just video games and drinks or events because I don't think there is anything else like it around here. I am not 100% on pricing for the video games but I think I saw something like $20 per hour, which I think might be a little pricey. However, I am not a big gamer myself so I may not be the best judge of that.

When I stepped into Thos, I felt like I was in Ireland, and I've never been to Ireland. But the…read morevibe, atmosphere, the look, from the wall decor to the dark wood to the beer adverts made me feel that this was genuine Irish place. Maybe it's the movies I've watched, but in terms of ambience they definitely got it down. The food was a mixed bag. I thought the fish and chips could have used a more generous portion of fish, especially considering I got the "large" portion but the giant pretzel was soft with some good cheese and mustard for dipping. Service was fine, though I have a feeling it's better for regulars.

One thing I love is the decor. It's got that 1920s bar area feel, which is probably due to the amount of older people come in. HUGE bar and lots of tables/tvs. Over the years, I've been to Hawks Parties, Alumni Parties and other events here. Certainly a great venue if event space is needed. There is always a good selection of beers on tap. For this visit, I grabbed a burger and house salad, with a beer. Bartender was quick and let me try a few samples of what's on tap. Sadly, can't recall what I settled on with the beer. The burger was stacked high and had some decent heat to it. The salad was as I expected. I've never had an issue with the food here. The only issue I had was from 7-8 years ago when my card got double charged. Great spot to meet with friends, on a date night or take the kids. Hidden gem in Sandy Springs!

The food is the quality I expect from a sports bar (you know what you're getting so keep expectations as such, lol). The last time I went a couple of weeks ago tho (mainly to watch a game) I ordered tater tots and they were sitting in a literal pool of oil (see corresponding video and photos). The waitress removed it from our bill bc once I saw and poured out the oil, I couldn't eat them.

The vibe is cozy but still upscale -- like a mountain lodge right in the middle of the city. Perfect if you're coming from shopping around Perimeter or just want a laid-back spot with really good food. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, but what really stood out was how welcoming the atmosphere is. It's one of those rare places where you can bring friends, kids, or even go for a casual date and it still feels like a great experience. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal even better. You can tell the staff actually cares about making sure guests enjoy themselves because I have two 1yr olds with me and still got to enjoy adult life. If you're in the Perimeter area Eli the waiter and Colby hooked a mom up and looking for a place that has great food, good energy, and a menu with tons of options, this spot is definitely worth trying.
