Zel at The Stratford Pub gave one of the best service experiences I've ever had. Calm, confident, and intuitive, he knows just when to check in without being intrusive. Everything arrived perfectly, and he handled every request with professionalism and warmth. Personable, accommodating and highly efficient, he elevates the experience. Ask for Zell--you won't be disappointed. Oh, BTW - The atmosphere is just right; neighborly - warm, friendly, and welcoming and the chicken tenders were exceptional!!! In fact, I'm ordering them via delivery today, yum! read more

Always great food, good vibes and wide variety of drinks. The staff is attentive and fast. The quality of food is consistent, located on the town square and has private parking lot behind the building. Highly refined for group and lowkey dinners or watching sports read more

I've driven past this pub more than 100 times and me and my family decided to eat here on Father's Day. Best decision we ever made. We had a waitress who had a short pixie Cut, forgive me for not remembering her name. She was the best! 12 out of 10 service. The menu is not overcomplicated and there are options for everyone in your family. We really enjoyed our food, everything came out hot and fresh, very well seasoned. The drinks are strong, but delicious and everything is worth the price. The fried pickles and jalapeños were so good. I still think about them now. The salmon on pita was immaculate. The inside looks like a family friendly dive bar, but it's also very clean. They definitely have stayed on theme being that they are English pub. read more

My only regret is that I did not come here sooner. I used to live right down the street, but just never made the time, and somehow even though I live on the opposite side of ATL now, I found the time. I went with the full english breakfast, and of course a pint of guinness, which felt great asking the server for. The server was really nice. I sat at the bar. Conversational environment, and clean. The food was quick, hot, and SOOO GOOD! Ample parking. With a tip I spent $32. This is the type of place I wish I would have gone to more, because they have a little bit of everything that will have you coming back for me. Overall a fine establishment with some great eats! read more

We approached the restaurant and noticed a small parking lot located right next-door. I pulled in and quickly found a spot. It's a little tight in there, but we were lucky enough to find a spot. We entered and I noticed the dark interior with the main bar over to the right. There were signs instructing us to seat ourselves. We decided we wanted to sit outside (of course). I let the bartender know we were headed outside and as we were walking out I saw the server and let her know as well. We picked a hightop table against the wall and soon after the same server came outside with menus and greeted us warmly. She said we were just in time, we could order either lunch or breakfast. We reviewed the menu and took in the nice view of the main strip in Avondale Estates. They had a pretty good beer selection with about 20 choices. Wifey initially ordered the Sierra Pils Lager, but they didn't have that one so she ordered her old standby favorite a Blue Moon. I ended up going with a Scofflaw Basement IPA. For food, I was in the mood for a club sandwich and luckily they had the Stratford club on the menu and I added some tater tots. Wifey ordered the Cuban sandwich with sweet potato fries and asked for them extra crispy. Our server informed us they could not do that, which I thought was strange. She said the way they were prepared, they don't come out "Extra" crispy but not mushy either. Wifey took her advice and stuck with the sweet potato fries. As we waited for our food to come out, I saw some plates going to other tables and everything looked very good. The beers and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The food looked fresh and the portion sizes were nice. We started digging in and we both loved our meals. This was a perfect stop for a spring lunch and our server, Autumn, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. read more

Go to The Stratford. Ask for Denzel. At least, I think his name was Denzel. He took good care of us, making good suggestions and checking in throughout. I love it that I can get a Snakebite without having to explain what it is. My wife and I both had the fish & chips. The fish was fresh and hot right out of the fryer. The batter was crispy and the fish itself was perfect. Put that on top of a pile of chips and we were both very happy. Next time I'll try some of the other traditional pub fare. The burgers look really good. Do not sit outside unless you like flies. Inside is way more comfortable and generally devoid of flies. Outside is probably better in the fall and winter, when you can sit next to a fire. (There is a fireplace outside.) read more

We came in as a party of six to dine before musical event here in Tucker, GA. When we originally arrived the restaurant had about four patrons seated. Two at the bar one and two at the tables. The decor is dark and moody , as a pub should be. It has a bit of mystery with music playing on a jukebox that you can access through an app. There are bicycles mounted in the front windows showcasing a sporty vibe with Atlanta United scarves and jerseys mounted on the racks and walls near by. Seat yourself is the motto as you enter. We sat in two booth and tables closest to the bar. The pub lost its adult only feel as locals with young kids arrived and sat around us. The Army Navy game was playing in a few tvs so that helped to hold the sports bar mode. We received menus and find it a little hard to see without our phone flash lights. Yes, it's dark in here there are no over head lights. ( use your phone) After looking the menu over I tried the steak and fries cooked medium- pure perfection ;along with the Cesar salad was great. I don't need to tell the locals they should show up I believe they are mostly seated and dining already. The food and service are exceptional. read more

Looking for that UK pub feel with a little bit of American charm thrown in, then the Stratford is it. Sitting on a corner in Avondale surrounded by building reflective of old world charm, the Stratford bar & restaurant provides a quiet spot for a quick bite. I had their fish sandwich "the McStratford" which was an elevated version of the filet-o-fish (I'm guessing from the name) was rather good, personally it could do without the American cheese. All in all, the food was good, the service was friendly and the ambiance was enjoyable (even with the screaming kids seated next to me. All in all a good experience! read more

So I went here for the first time on 7/19/2025. I've passed this place a lot of times and never visited. I went to another restaurant who grand opening was today was not open so I was in the area and I said that I'm going to check it out. I got 6 PC lemon pepper wings with blue cheese and tots fries was the other choice. The combo is $10.00:tots $2.00; beverage $7.00 with tax 20.52. delicious wings even though they are not whole wings. The beverage I got was great also. My phone opened up on this place the other day in my pocket btw. Fans and a TV also on the patio. read more

Really good staple in the Scottdale Avondale Estates area. Loved the burger! And after my race this was the perfect beer I was looking for! Local brewing beers here, support the community! Coming back to try their wings next time! read more

Had dinner with my daughter at the Stratford this week. It is convenient y to where she lives and we had eaten here before. I am not English but in my mind this is very traditional English Pub. Definitely a bar feel, but also family atmosphere and good food. They have a number of classic English dishes you don't always see here in America. We both went with fish dishes tonight. I had the fish and chips and my daughter the fish tacos. Both were excellent. Generous portion size and nice breading. On earlier trips we have tried the burgers and the shepard's pie. The shepard's pie may be too authentic for me. Heavy on the lamb and more stew like than the usual American versions. Overall a nice spot. read more

Thankfully they have reserved parking in back. The lights are dim so hard to know it was open and we called to confirm. But it was and we got a booth. Now to be up front- this is a pub. Not necessarily a dive but it's a a family friendly dog included establish sure but the energy and vibe is kinda get in where you fit in. No one is hand holding but will answer as you ask. The waitress Tia was phenomenal as she was still extra sweet. Attentive and gave great suggestions. I personally love all of that. But what keeps the lights on has to be the food and beer. I was in love with my steak and frites. Just what I was thinking I wanted and made so well. Nothing but a good time and good food. Leave the pretentiousness at home. Also got chips and queso which was also extra good but ate too fast for photos. Defiantly on my will return list. read more

Highly recommend!! Fantastic service! Really good, fresh food! I would have taken a picture but I ate too fast.

We gave The Stratford another try this Summer on trivia night. The service, over two visits, was excellent. Trivia night is well attended and fun. Food is solid. Happy to revise a negative review to a positive one. read more

Staff was great, the wedge salad and my wife's burger and tots were good. However, the wings had about 1/4 inch of liquid oil/grease in the bottom of the basket. The wings weren't great. read more

This place is hit or miss!! Stopped going there because of the food quality a while back but went in today! Ordered the French onion soup! The Server brought it out and the cheese on both crocks was totally burnt beyond recognition!! You would have thought he would have had the kitchen to remake but didn't! We dug into the burnt mess and the soup was nothing but a salt lick!! We sent it back as well. The Reuben Sandwich was barely warm and the tits were nothing but a grease pit!! The Server agreed that the onion soup was terrible!! Will not return! read more

Love this place, can't believe it took me so long to try it out. So far I know the following food items are great: salmon blt, wings, fries, tots. Great genuinely pub vibe, they play the ATL United matches (or at least were playing when I was there), the staff is friendly, as are the patrons it seems (just good vibes flowing). read more

We stopped here for an early lunch on a whim. "The Old Man" was our server and gave us a friendly greeting as soon as we walked it. He gave us great service and the food came out quickly. The place has a cool pub atmosphere and relaxing classic R&B background music. We had the fish and chips, the fish tacos, the French dip and the shepherd's pie. Everything was fresh and delicious. The hand cut fries and the tots were on point. We tried the strawberry cheesecake and the beignets for dessert and left very happy and satisfied. We'll definitely be back when we're on this side of town. read more

Popped in on a Tuesday around 3PM. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Looking for vegan options and he was able to walk us through the menu. He made the experience quite pleasant. Sautéed spinach - these were surprisingly tasty! Nothing too fancy but seasoned just right. Tater tots - pretty standard but good. Sweet potato fries - these were pretty good, also standard. I like to dip in regular mustard to balance the sweetness. I like that they did not come with sugar dnd cinnamon. Black beans - pretty tasty. *all food is cooking in the same oil. They also have black bean and Impossible burgers as options. read more

Based on the reviews online for the Stratford Pub in Avondale Estates, I was looking forward to this place. After going to it, now I find it fishy to read "we're known for - excellent service AND food" from the owner - it seems arguable. We were in the area, and it wasn't busy, plus the "NEW Menu" had a nice variety of foods, reasonable prices, and good portions. Told to seat ourselves, and the bartenders and waiters seemed nice while doing their thing at a distance. We started by ordering 6 Pieces of Boneless Wings. They came out quick, and they were fresh and delicious. We ordered food then. Not sure what happened, but the rest of the meal missed everything. - THE TROLLEY, a Burger topped with Red chili, pimento cheese - Surprise; it's black bean chili on top of a burger--Rating Dry skinny burger - mediocre flavors. - Fries (skinny style) and tater tots were terrible; they seemed to have been fried OR overcooked in old oil. From my dive bar/pub experience moment, it was a miss - not impressed. read more

Ordered a French dip that came without any au jus, completely defeating the purpose. It was supposed to be rare roast beef but it was very well done. I have also never seen Brunswick stew without green beans or corn. The fries and onion rings were soggy, partly from the trip but also just because they were never fried to a crisp in the first place. You could tell because they were quite blond in color. This is the second time I've tried this place and the second time I've been underwhelmed. There won't be a third time. read more

I'm trying to spread the gospel about this place. First, impeccable customer service. I've never gone and not had great customer service. During one of my recent trips, I text my friends how sweet my server was. If you love a smash burger then this place is for you. It's so delicious. I like to have the pretzels and cheese as an app. Food is priced fairly. Parking is easy as they have a small lot behind the building. read more

Fantastic, fresh food and the nicest servers... even when we came in late. We will definitely be back!!

This is a fun spot. They have such a nice spacious patio. I've gotten takeout recently but I have also enjoyed the service. They have a lot of options so there is something for everyone. The fish and chips are a classic and pretty good. It is a huge portion of fish and chips and you'll probably have leftovers if you don't share. I think that fish has a nice flavor and I really love the fries. It is all so nice and crispy and I definitely suggest trying this place out. The only thing I don't love is the parking situation but Avondale is very walkable so there is sure to be parking somewhere and you can walk there pretty easily. read more

Best customer service around! They really care about their patrons. All of the food is great. I don't think we've ever been disappointed. Their new brunch menu is especially good. It's also our favorite place to watch sports, especially soccer (the Atlanta United watch parties are tons of fun). read more

Great burgers, great tots, everything I've had here has been super good. Solid pub food & also a great patio!

We mistakenly went on trivia night which was So loud and politically slanted trivia... really people? Lets alienate half our clientele? We finally ordered after a very long wait for service. My friend was really wanting to try their burger but they wouldnt let him specify a temperature on it. This was perplexing and frustrating. He did not like the well done burnt ish burger. I had fish n chips which were ok. The fries were barely warm but were nice enough to bring a fresh batch. The sodas are not free refils so beware of that. I dont think we will be back. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for dog friendly places near us and found that The Stratford allows pups on their patio! The outdoor patio area is super cozy and the service was awesome.

We'll definitely be back in the future so we can enjoy some yummy pub grub & bring our furry friend. read more

The Stratford has great good and service. I noticed the restaurant while passing through Avondale Estates and really enjoyed the pub vibe. We were sat immediately, the waiter was quick and polite. The food was fresh and delicious. I had the spinach salad. The fish and chips were well seasoned. The bathrooms had a puddle near them.. was a little afraid someone might slip. Otherwise, it was great. Nice alternative music playing in the background read more

In Avondale Estates there aren't a lot of food choices. The Stratford is a local pub with food, in that order. We have now been a few times, food always changes a bit depending on the cooks. Service is spotty, last time pretty good, two times before bad. Hubby decided to change from the normal steak and fries and opted for a grilled chicken salad. Basic,not great not bad. I opted for the Philly with mushroom and tots with a side of hot sauce (note sauces are additional) WHY? It's a pet peeve, I can see if I asked for 5 of them but sometimes their food needs a kick. Last time I ordered the mushroom Philly add steak. I thought they would basically be the same but the first option has the premade can cheese (gross). The other option had a nice white cheddar slice. Tots come out in a good portion but are just bag tots in a fryer. Pretty basic. No additional seating etc. could be elevated by giving some sauce options. Previously, we have tried almost all the apps. Again, basic and we now know to skip them. We will probably go back just for the convenience. Probably a good place for a local drink and to watch a game. Remember pub first, then food. I hope they look at the potential and think outside the box a bit more. The owners have the experience to make it better. Let's hope! read more

Great food--really delicious. Our sandwiches were of top quality ingredients--the salmon, the marinade, the tomato, and even the lettuce. Excellent bread. Service, however, was terrible. Waiter was surly. Had to flag him down for such as refills. Never checked on us, not even once. When he asked what side was wanted--that came with it--we asked what the sides were--not telling us that he was including sides that cost extra. We were also charged more for an item than the menu stated, and he replied, "Oh...that was an old menu!" When we questioned the bill, he was petulant. Maybe he was having a bad day. Or maybe he assumed because we were two old ladies we would not tip well? The "maitre de" who seated us was the only pleasant interaction. Because the food was good, I may try Stratford again and hope I don't get the same waiter. If it is he, I will leave. read more

Really enjoying the The Stratford! We just moved to the area and have been here 5/6 times now. It has a great atmosphere to it. The staff is always friendly. Their menu has plenty of food and drink options. They have great pricing on their drinks as well! So far I have tried the burger and Buffalo chicken wrap. Both were delicious! read more

I found this joint nestled in the heart of Avondale Estates. As indicated by the name, the establishment has an old English themed feel. However, to cut to the meat literally, one on the featured items on the menu is the smoked wings. They were seasoned wonderfully and robust in flavor. If you visit, start with that item and then ask your waiter/waitress what to go for next, as they are helpful in that manner. I definitely plan to revisit this eatery to let some of my friends try out The Stratford. read more

The Stratford took Pallookaville and gave it a huge face-lift; whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on if you prefer establishments with a history in the community (that may or may not have a certain patina), or if you like the shiny and new with fresh pair of shoes. The food is your standard fried foods, with various sandwiches and other pub grub. Personally I don't agree with the pricing structure, when the appetizers cost nearly the same as a meal, and the cost of draft beers aren't too far behind that. The service was attentive and friendly, and the establishment's cleanliness certainly wasn't an issue. There's space to park behind the restaurant if you can't find a spot along the strip in Avondale. Not a place I'd go out of my way to visit, but I wouldn't avoid it either. read more

Ok y'all. Jamie is an absolute gem of a server in a sea of Atlanta sub par service. To be honest all the servers we saw tonight were working hard but she was LOVELY. Drinks were DELISH, great food/drink recommendations, good GOOD food. A gem of a place. So cute and totally had the neighborhood vibe we were looking for when out exploring new places. (Bathroom could use a bump but it was clean and that's what really is important) read more

Long overdue review(s)! Why? I have no good reason, but it is essential to emphasize that my first experience was the catalyst that brought me back. The vibe is that of a laid-back neighborhood joint. Come as you are, whether that's dressed up or down. Everyone is welcome. On both occasions, the individuals that we had the pleasure of interacting with made sure to make us feel that way and provide a wonderful experience, going above and beyond to provide an excellent service. On our first visit, we requested a Bob Marley, which is not on the menu. 98% of places will always turn this request down due to a myriad of reasons, such as not having the ingredients or they don't feel like it, and you are going to get what they have and what they feel like making, or they don't know how to make it. On that visit, the stars aligned. I don't know if they had all the ingredients or if the bartender knew how to make the drink, but he eagerly and without hesitation took on that challenge and executed it beautifully. It has been some time, so I unfortunately cannot remember our bartender's name from that initial visit. But he did an excellent job, and everyone we encountered on that initial visit was terrific, and that experience left an indelible mark. We used to live in Avondale Estates and now live in South Fulton. We were in the area waiting to pick up my daughter from an event and trying to think of places to eat. We remembered the Reuben egg rolls and the amazing service, chill environment, and great time at the Stratford on our first visit and decided to fall through. On this second visit, from the beginning, the individual that seated us (unsure of his name) was excellent and offered to turn off one of the fans on the patio as it was getting chilly. They must have a large event space upstairs as a class reunion was being held that evening for Tucker High School. Our server, Jamie, was terrific, just so lovely, and provided us with exceptional top-notch service and provided excellent menu recommendations. Even with an event going on, the quality and service did not waiver. Special shout-out to Carter (I hope that is correct), the wonderful bartender whom we did not have the pleasure of meeting; however, she made the best Dark & Stormy I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. They also have a great beer selection. On both occasions that we have come here, everyone that we encountered was phenomenal. They are doing something right at The Stratford Pub, and they have managed to do it consistently for both of my visits, which is a spectacular feat. Try the Reuben egg rolls, the onion soup, and an off-the-menu item recommended by Jamie during our second visit, which is teriyaki fried cauliflower! Chef's kiss read more
