    Cousins at Verner's
    Wendy B J.

    Our cousin invited us to one of his watering holes in Smyrna, Georgia on our last night in the area. When I parked tge car, I realized we were about to enter a tavern that supports the Philadelphia Eagles fans. My head almost exploded. Im a diehard NY Giants fan. Of course, my cousin will never live that on down. Nevertheless, we had a great time. My sister and I shared Collard Green Eggrolls. These are to "die for". Greens deliciously flavored rolled in eggroll wrapper. I wish I could get this in the LA area. Cousin had a cheesesteak and it looked good. Restaurant has a large parking lot. Besides the Philly connection, a cool place to hang out.

    Hair on my burger

    I was eating my burger and pulled a strain of hair out of my mouth as I was eating not to mention, I asked for a medium well. The burger was way undercooked fries were overcooked, and a bit crispy. Also, pretzel bites were overrated when I called the manager and spoke to her. Her name was Amy and she told me that I needed to bring the strand of hair up there with the food because she had no one in the back that had short black hair, horrible experience, and definitely don't recommend

    My boyfriend was so happy to go here. That makes it 5 stars in my book!

    Had soooooooo much fun playing trivia even tho we lost, lol. Need to go back soon! Ample parking, the listings for was incorrect

    I came here for this past Sundays Eagle game and had a blast The food is really good, I had some Philly Fries and 10 piece lemon pepper to share w a friend and it was fire. Lord of Philly Eagles Fan s in the building. lol The services was efficient for being so busy. Most definitely will be back.

    Shrimp Appetizer

    We came across this place because we were so hungry and late at night. Luckily they were opened. We ordered some wings (the buffalo ones never go wrong) I had ordered Parmesan wings and they just added cheese and the chicken was unseasoned. The places were big and during the time I went were not packed luckily. I heard they can be. Service was okay. Though it did take a while to get a table and it wasn't busy. We waited at the front standing there. The place had a great an atmosphere in its way. This is just more of just your average American restaurant to hang out and sit with food. It wouldn't hurt to try again.

    Monday night specials
    Chloe S.

    Varners has become a cool little spot for me. I've been here a handful of times in the past month. They have two pool tables that are $1/game and they have free tournaments on Monday and Wednesdays at 7pm and 10pm. It's always a cool and fun crowd in there. On Mondays they have a bogo for boneless wings, those were pretty good too. Saturdays they have karaoke. The only thing I don't love is that you can smoke inside so I come home smelly, but that doesn't stop me from going. There's also a nice little patio to hangout on as well which is always a plus for me.

    Fried Pickles (OM)
    Taylor B.

    This is great late night bite if you want a laidback pub vibe without all the theatrics. It was my first time visiting. I ordered the wonton appetizer and my bf got the fried pickles. Both were hot and fresh. We both ordered the same drink. I forgot the name but it's like a peach Long Island. Wontons: 7/10 loved the unique blueberry dipping sauce Fried Pickles: 10/10 this was not dry at all! Very fat fried pickle chips! Peach Long Island Drinks: 9/10 when we got there I was like dang how strong are the drinks to have people acting so silly? Welp I get it now

    Onion ring batter and chicken wing.
    Reagan W.

    I get it that beer and there, there can be a miss. We are loyal to Varner"s because it is consistent. Our meal this past Saturday night wasn't the best. We ordered takeout around 9:45. We both ordered a burger and onion rings. My husband asked for his sauce on the side. They left the sauce out entirely. I think our onion rings, which are always out highlight of our visit there, were the leftovers of the leftovers for the day. There were hardly any onions, more like the skins, over fried. It also appears that they took whatever was left in the fry basket and just dumped . This meant I got all of the parts and pieces of batter, as well as a lovely chicken wing. Due to our loyalty, we will visit again but, hoping management works with their team to make sure that experiences are more consistent.

    Balsamic Steak wrap no tomatoes
    Jeneen P.

    Great food, fellowship and no crowd! We decided to finally go to Varners! They have daily specials today is $4.50 fireball shots and live music on Fridays!! I am very full and happy about this spot and will be back! Hubby had the fried chicken sliders with tots and I had balsamic steak wrap!! Delish!!! Of course no tomatoes. OH MY GOODNESS their sweet potato fries are the best!! One shot of FIREBALL!!!

    This place is so run down. 0 for ambiance and maybe a 2 star for food and service. There's better bars out there. Not on this street.

The past two visits, including today, the wings looked like they were taken from hatchlings. They were so small there almost wasn't any meat on them at all. But the worst part is, they charged $28 for 20 of these hatchling wings. To help with the math, that's $1.40 per wing. WNB has increased the price and dumbed down the product. That's a lethal combination because it has killed any chance that I'll return to WNB. I'm done.

I had never tried their food before but read some reviews and figured it was worth a try. Their website offered easy ordering in advance so we didn't have to time it out the day of. We ended up going for 100 wings which came with 4 different flavors. We opted for honey hot, medium, lemon pepper wet and hot teriyaki, but then the website made us choose flavors for 5 random wings? Confusing lol, but I did it so we could complete the order. For 100 wings, he ended up paying about $103 after taxes. Not too bad! I wasn't there when he picked up the order but they did text and email him in advance to confirm that the order was ready, and even called him to be sure he knew they were ready for pickup. When he returned with the wings, it was a huge tray that included the wings separated by dividers as well as some celery. The wings weren't huge but they worked. The varied flavors were delicious - the lemon pepper wet were my favorites! They also included a bunch of small ranch/blue cheese cups on the side. Such a smooth ordering process and a delicious bunch of wings - will definitely order again.

I'd sent it to my better half and he said, "let's go." OK... it's a hole in the wall in a strip center. But you know that sometimes those places are absolutely wonderful. And this was one of those times. From the time we walked in, we were welcomed. The lady working the front went through the menu... explained the options and even told us about options that weren't listed. I decided on the Heat Combo... the hubby decided on the Regular Combo. You're going to find that everything is made to order. So nothing just sitting around. The sandwiches are what I'd call burritos in a bun. Wrapped in foil and then paper. We were warned to keep the foil on... And with good reason! These are not sit in the car and eat sandwiches. They're moist... they're juicy and DELICIOUS! Now, I got the one called the Heat. It was not overly spicy but had a good level of heat. I was told if you like it spicy, just ask for hot sauce. I'm kinda torn by that because the general flavor of the sandwich is really good and wouldn't want to cover that up. The Combo comes with thick potato wedges. They were good and neither of us were able to finish all of them. They have some side dipping sauces I want to try next time. We opted to dine in. The dining room is a bit small and standard. There are only about 4 or 5 tables. But, it's clean (spotless clean) and does the trick. I imagine if it's busy it can get quite full. Honestly... this style of food is pretty unique to the Metro. It's not quite a Philly Restaurant... it's not quite a traditional Chili Shop... It's more of what you'd see with a "loose meat" restaurant from the Midwest. But whatever you think it is, it works. And we'll be back!

The plantain nachos are especially good because you get that sweet and salty crunch from the plantains with the jerk chicken and crema on top.

The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, and the manager also made a point to make sure we were taken care of. That kind of hospitality really adds to the experience. The ambiance is warm, lively, and inviting with a modern Caribbean feel. It's casual enough to be comfortable but still has enough personality to make it feel like more than just a quick meal.

The portions are generous, the food is well seasoned, and there's a lot on the menu I'd come back to try. If you've never had Haitian food before, I'd absolutely recommend starting here. You won't regret giving it a try, and there's a very good chance it'll keep you coming back. Seriously, 5 out of 5 stars.
