    Pull Apart Pretzel
    AC R.

    Unique Spot with Incredible Food and Vibes The Porter really impressed me this place has a unique feel that stands out right away. The atmosphere is seriously cool. Bar up front, dining area in the back, and it gives off a true beer cellar vibe. Service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in just the right amount without overdoing it. Food-wise, I was very impressed. We started with the pretzel appetizer with a white cheese dip, and it was excellent. Not your typical starter definitely feels like a staple item here. I also tried a Georgia cider, which was smooth, slightly sweet, and really easy to drink. The smash burger was a standout. Cooked perfectly, held together well, and the sauce was incredible. I easily could've eaten two. The fries had a Parmesan garlic-style seasoning, and I finished every last one. Overall, everything here was great. There's a lot more on the menu I want to try, and I'll definitely be back. Ratings: Atmosphere: 5/5 Food Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Vibe: 5/5 Overall: Easy 5/5, no notes, just show up hungry.

    Amazing joint in an amazing neighborhood. Lovely outside dining area to enjoy an evening with friends or make new ones. The pretzel bun was sooooo goood. But the star for me was the shrimp toast. I would kill for that exact recipe. I live in Northern Illinois ans will probably never make it back but that sauce is burned in my mind.

    Started with the pulled pretzel with the cheese dip. Realllly good and hit the spot. Had the Fish and Chips as a main. The fish was massive light and tasty, tartar sauce was great. The fries tho were a bit over seasoned. Way too salty for me. I would dial that back but overall really good. I would come back. Staff was nice and attentive. The decor and layout I dug as well.

    This place is on my Atlanta favorites. Amazing beer list here and it consistently rotates-- I highly recommend just for that alone. They also have a rare aged beer list as well. I've tried the fries hen of the woods mushrooms and their French onion soup, and they were both tasty. I usually come by early (before 6:30) because the dinner rush can get a little crazy.

    Fried mushrooms

    I stopped here for some small plates with friends. I had never visited before the closure, but the place looks great now. Alcohol selection is huge. I'm really just writing this to talk about the fried hen of the woods mushrooms. Oh. My. God. I thought about these for weeks afterward. The batter was so crunchy and well-seasoned. Despite being quite large mushrooms, the interior was cooked perfectly. Cut them open and get a smear of the French onion dip they're served on... just wow.

    Sweet spot for drinks and bites in Little Five Points. Great selection of beers and spirits. Friendly staff too!

    Left work early on a Friday and was headed to one of my favorite places The Vortex. Decided I didn't need another burger. I used to go to the Porter years ago and had been anticipating the reopening. Wow was it delicious. I used to love the fish and chips. Man have they elevated that to a whole other level. FANTASTIC. I tried the hefeweizen beer. So darn good. I will definitely be back. Heck probably need to leave work early again.

    Salt & Vinegar Popcorn
    Catherine M.

    The food here was really good and such a cool spot. The service was a little confusing as we had three different servers throughout our dinner. I had the smash burger, the pretzel and I had to try the salt and vinegar popcorn. The pretzel was amazing. The popcorn was also very interesting, I still don't know how I feel about it. They also had a large drink menu.

    This rating is purely on my experience getting some drinks and no food. I was scoping out locations near my work conference for some unique beers. This place popped up as having a huge tap list and some hard to find beers. It's located near a funky intersection that had my Uber driver guessing where it was. It has a unique, funky vibe, in a good way. They have a huge, long bar and then I believe seating in the rear, as well as our front. The bartender was very nice and helpful. They indeed had some beers that I would never find back home and ones that I have wanted to try. Their beer list is immense, both draft and bottles. Their bartender worked hard finding a patron near me to find something that would fit her palate and apparently did a good job. The pricing was okay, not great considering the serving size, but what I ordered was also not readily available things. If we didn't have dinner plans perhaps I would have sampled some food, the menu looked decent.

    Fish & grits -- the OUTKAST tribute. Fried haddock, shrimp gravy, grits, bacon bits.
    Samuel L.

    I came here because they advertised that they had 60 beers on tap. The selection was really good and I enjoyed the beers there. But what really caught my attention was the fish and grits meal that they had for the brunch menu. The fish was fried perfectly and the grits with gravy was so delicious. It had shrimp and bacon bits in it. The bartender checked on us once while we were there but the food came out really quickly. Overall the vibe was really chill when I went there on a Saturday afternoon and I would definitely love to come back again.

    Smash Burger - Double
    Carlie M.

    Newly reopened spot in five points. They have a good food menu and a huge drink menu. If you like beer, this is a great spot. We got the goat cheese fritters and the smash burger. The fritters were so good! It came with 5 so plenty to split. The smash burger was pretty good. It came with a lot of fries!

    My sister and I tried this spot since it was close by to an event we were going to, and we were…read morepleasantly surprised! We split the cornbread, and the both of us ordered the gnocchi. When we received our food, we nearly gasped at the size of the cornbread because we weren't fully expecting a generous amount. The cornbread was perfectly cooked and was so delicious. We didn't taste any honey though (it tasted like salted butter), which was a shame since we love honey butter, but it still paired well with the cornbread. The gnocchi was insanely good! The gnocchi was cooked well, the rabbit was super tender and seasoned well, and I was surprised by how well the aged balsamic pulled the dish together. I highly recommend this dish. I saw other dishes that were served to other tables that had me salivating too, so I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. We sat at the bar to eat, and the bartenders were all super sweet and funny. This is a must-try spot!

It's bigger than it looks from the outside. But it's pretty clean and a bit more elevated than the typical dusty pub. The food was decent.

We got some buffalo wings to start with. They were really good! It was nice and hot too (temperature wise and flavor wise.) They were literally steaming for a good 5 minutes after our server brought them. My wife got the blackened chicken salad wrap with fries for her main, and I got the fish and chips lunch portion. Both tasted INCREDIBLE. Her wrap was really good, I had a few bites. It was packed with toppings and the chicken tasted really good. My fish and chips were GREAT. I got the lunch portion, which comes with one piece of fish, but the dinner portion comes with two I believe. I didn't realize it was only one piece for the lunch portion, otherwise I would've gotten the dinner portion...I was hungry!! The fries we both got were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got some BBQ sauce to dip my fries into. I also doused my fish and chips with vinegar...you got to to do it that way! Our glasses of Guinness were fresh and poured really nicely too. They were also nice and cold! Our server was really friendly too and was always checking on us. We really enjoyed ourselves, and we'll definitely be back! We have been to this location a few times, and also the one in Buckhead. We have been to the Buckhead one more, as we used to live right in Buckhead, not too far from that location.
