    Back in town, we visited for the first time recently after knowing about the restaurant for a few…read moreyears. We got an order of the hush puppies as an appetizer. They were okay, but for 5 bucks...what do you expect?‍. I would say the accompanying butter was supposed to be honey butter, but it seemed like regular butter to me! The server was polite, but I was scratching my head because she started with---"Let me go see what's not available anymore." Shouldn't she have done that before speaking to us?? The atmosphere is relaxed, but there isn't much to the decor. It was just casual.... there was brown butcher paper on top of white table cloths...kind of tacky really. It was busy, however, which added to the noise. Hubby and I both ordered the 1885 burger. Now, we are talkin'! The burger was delicious! . It was juicy and tasty. Just an all around fantastic burger. This alone is what will bring me and hubby back. The loaded baked potato was standard, but good too. It sounds like this experience wasn't great, but like I said, the burger alone is enough to go back to enjoy.

    It was really hard to decide on a rating for our experience. We were super excited to try the 1885…read moreGrill while in town. We went early in the afternoon on a weekday, so it was very quiet. It was also a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. I love that they work with local organizations for fresh vegetables and meat! Our waiter was very nice and fairly attentive. But the food... For the good - the crab cake was delicious. It was like all crab meat with no filler and was very tasty. The pimento cheese was also SO yummy. You could tell it was made fresh and had a great flavor. The pita it came with was fine, a little over-grilled. I was not crazy about the fried okra. I wish the pieces weren't just cut in half, because to me they had that slimy okra texture inside. My gf said they weren't THAT bad, but I really had to push myself to eat them. The rosemary fries have a great flavor and were crispy (I prefer thicker fries but my gf enjoyed these). I LOVE mac and cheese and was super excited to try theirs. It was very creamy and had a good flavor but there was way too much cheese for the amount of noodles. Like the ratio was pretty off. Now for THE issue. My gf ordered the Filet Mignon, medium. It came raw and without the blue cheese compound butter. By the time the waiter came to check on us, I was half done eating. He took the steak to be put back on the grill and brought it back with a bowl of crumbled blue cheese. It was still raw inside. He brought us extra fries, but by the time it came back I was done eating. She asked for it to go and it was STILL RAW. She had cut it, so it was super obvious if you looked. The manager came and talked to us and they took it off the bill, but for a $40 filet mignon it should not take 3 tries to cook it right and it still not really be right. She said there are cold spots on the grill and they're training a new line cook, but it was not a good look... I'd maybe give more of a pass if they were packed, but there was no one eating inside and maybe two other tables of folks outside.

    Service was fast and friendly. I got recommendations from a nice lady sitting at the counter. She…read moreknew it was my first time there and recommended what I was pretty much going to order so I took that as a great sign. Sesig seemed a little small but was flavorful. It was very spicy for me but It was an addictive spice. To accompany this, I got an order of their stir fried green webs which had a sweet and savory flavor with a small hint of spice. Highly addictive. I liked these more than the Sesig. I don't mean that as a bad thing, but I'd go back just for these! Ambiance is loud. Lots of people crammed into a smaller space that is optimally situated to accept as many people as possible. Very organized and well oiled. The use of the radios among the loud crowd might not make this a good "date night spot" if you're wanting to talk or if you're fine with your discussion getting lost in the noise. The decorations are very islands inspired. Well worth the experience overall!

    I always pass this restaurant & usually they are always packed. I'm so happy I was able to come…read moreduring slower times. When you walk in it smells soo good, and they have the cutest filipino decor everywhere. They place isn't particularly huge. I would recommend maybe getting a reservation just incase they get busy. Service: If you are expecting 5star service, Don't. Come here with good food in mind. Sit, eat, and go home. They weren't rude, but deff wouldn't say it was your Georgia southern hospitality. Nobody greeted us for a good 10 minutes. 4 people saw us just standing in the waiting area. There was a server on the phone who ignored us completely until she was done. I would've liked some acknowledgement. I feel like we weren't greeted at all actually, which is whatever I've been to many asian restaurants like this tbh. I am only mentioning this because I know us southern folks would probably be a little caught off guard. The food was incredible that it makes up for the lackluster service. Our actual server was fine. I think bc of language barrier he didn't really make small talk, but I appreciated the food recs. The food also came out in lightning speed. I was very shocked that the chicken adobo came out in under 10 minutes. Appetizers: We got the BBQ chicken satay which was slightly burned, but so much flavors! I wish I had more sauce they put on the skewers it was so good! We also ordered the chicken chicharron, but I don't think the server caught that so he never put it in. It's Ok tho. We ordered enough food. Entree: We got the Chicken Adobo, and It reminded me of my mom's soy egg stew. Very hearty, but Salty with a capital S! It was still good, but deff needed the rice to eat with it. I wouldn't recommend this dish if you have high blood pressure, but it is VERY hearty, rich and worth to try. The Lechon Kawali was sooo good! It didn't have that gamy pork smell. I don't normally order pork for the smell. You can definitely taste the spices of the pork. It was so good. I didn't really care for the sauce too much. It was just a little on the sweeter side. I was expecting the red fish sauce, but they gave me a green sweet sauce. Dessert: We got the Ube flan, which I did not know it was gonna come with a Ube cake. I love the flan part. It was very rich, but I wish there was more flan to cake ratio. The cake wasn't bad it was just a little dry. The Creme Brulee with Ube jam was good, but I think it would taste better without the Ube jam. It was a little dry almost like red bean paste rather than a jam. It didn't taste bad, I was just expecting a more lighter consistency to match the crème brûlée. Price point: The food was slightly on the pricer side, but it wasn't too bad. Pretty average for ATL restaurants in this economy. The Entrees range 20+ for the most part. If you want some affordable options The two Under $20 they have the Lechon sisig tacos for $13 and Sunday Brunch only: for $18 Bangsilog.
