If you're looking for a laid-back dive bar vibe, Moe's and Joe's is a solid go-to in the Highlands…read more It's the kind of place you go to just chill, grab a few drinks, and not feel pressured to spend a ton of money. Been coming here for a few years now, and it's always felt the same, which I love. They also have some surprisingly good bar food, which is always a plus. Think wings and fries kinda vibe. It definitely gets pretty packed on the weekends, so keep that in mind if you're going during peak hours. Parking can be a bit tricky too since it's mostly street parking or nearby paid lots. Overall, a great spot for casual drinks, hanging with friends, and keeping things low-key.

Dive-bar feel, but friendly service and good food…read more We came here on a recommendation for good wings-- the criteria is crispy, fresh, well seasoned, and with real blue cheese. Moes and Joe's ticked all of the boxes. The wings were huge, crispy, flavorful, and the blue cheese was great. I only wish they had more sauce flavors! We had hot and lemon pepper, both were great and up to standard. Wings pro tip, order them extra crispy. We also had the cheese curds and mojos fries, everything was unhealthy and delicious. Can't forget a PBR of you're here. We look forward to returning to this location, it definitely scratched the itch for good wings.

My first visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ was long overdue, and I honestly left wondering why it took me…read moreso long to make it there. What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The fried rice itself was packed with flavor and had such a unique, smoky taste that perfectly complemented the barbecue. It is not often that a side dish completely steals the show, but this one certainly did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food arrived promptly, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It is always exciting to discover a restaurant that delivers something a little different, and Sweet Auburn BBQ does exactly that by blending flavors and cuisines in a way that feels both creative and comforting. I left full, impressed, and honestly a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to visit. This definitely will not be my last trip, and I already know the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket will be ordered again.

We came here on a weekday evening after hearing a lot of hype and strong recommendations, so…read moreexpectations were already pretty high. AMBIANCE The experience got off to a rough start with parking.They validate parking at a local parking structure or garage but the directions on the placard outside the establishment were unclear.... with an arrow to the back. The back of what? As newcomers to the restaurant and the area, the parking structure and restaurant that was point of refernece was not helpful. There wasn't even an address or street name to go by. We ended up circling behind nearby buildings and down another street before finally finding the parking structure. It felt unnecessarily confusing and set a slightly frustrating tone before we even walked in. Once inside, things improved. We were seated right away in a booth on the right side of the dining room. The space had a stylish, eclectic feel....interesting decor with a lively, buzzy energy. Not overly loud, but definitely active for a weekday night. SERVICE Service was efficient and welcoming through though. Our waitress quickly brought water and drinks and gave us time to look over the menu. The concept of Asian fusion twist meets Southern BBQ is intriguing, but as first-timers, it took some effort to picture how the flavors would come together. We found ourselves cross-referencing Yelp photos for awhile just to get a better sense of what to expect. FOOD We decided to get started with the brisket egg rolls, one of their most popular items. They arrived in about 10-15 minutes and were a solid opener...found them crispy, flavorful, and a creative twist on the usual pork ones. For mains, we ordered the BBQ plate with fries and collards, along with the smoked chicken curry. The BBQ plate was fine...nothing really amazing and pretty tiny portions for what you're paying for. The flavors were good, but not justified for the premium. The chicken curry was fine. For $17.50, I definitely expected more pulled pork that people were raving about....the dish was more than 1/2 rice and potatoes. The standout, by far, was the brisket egg roll...easily the highlight of the meal and better than we anticipated given the fusion concept. Overall, it felt like you're paying a bit more for the concept and presentation than the actual quantity. Wouldn't come back again.

Open late and always reliable--definitely a go-to spot…read more Personally, I think their wings are the best in ATL in terms of size, juiciness, and bold flavor. One thing to note: even when ordering through Uber Eats, my order wasn't ready, so I'd recommend ordering directly at the store.

Was told that I had to try lemony pepper wet wings when in Atlanta, Georgia, and that J.R. Crickets…read morewas a decent, reliable spot. The interior gives off a modest, no-frills type of vibe. It wasn't busy at all on a Wednesday night. Signs indicate that you should seat yourself wherever available and to head to the counter to make your order. I ordered takeout, so I can't speak about the dine-in experience here. FOOD: We ordered a double order of the wings and asked for their two most popular flavors, which were the lemony pepper wet wings and some other flavor (couldn't hear the worker clearly, but just went with it). The order came with fries and a choice between ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce. Maybe I am not used to the flavor profile here, but I found the wings to be excessively salty (and I have a preference for salty food). My tongue is still tingling as I write this review. Also, the lemony pepper wings tasted like they were coated in pure citric acid. The other flavor was drowning in sauce. The wings themselves were so dry that it felt like I was eating chicken jerky. SERVICE: Food came out within ten minutes of us ordering. No frills place, so expect no frills service. No complaints. They have a bag-it-yourself policy. TLDR// This might be the first place to actually convince me that overseasoning is actually a thing. Excessively salty, dry chicken wings that my tongue is still paying the price for. Would not come back, and I would try a different spot for lemony pepper wet wings.

The place is large with lots of seating and some games to play as well (quarter operated). They have a giant parking lot across the street too. The food was good and very reasonably priced. The chicken fingers were crispy and tasty, and the horseradish sauce it came with was out of this world. They have a bunch of TVs over the bar and were playing the Braves game so it's a nice spot to grab some food and a drink and watch sports!

I had the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and the vegetable of the day (steamed broccoli). My companions had a quesadilla and the chicken fried steak, which were also great. We drank iced tea (served in enormous cups) but there is a full bar available. The place is unassuming from the outside. Don't miss the overflow parking across the street when the small lot behind the restaurant is full. Inside is dark wood floors and furniture, the walls are covered with old photos ands m, and memorabilia. There are a handful of pinball machines in an alcove by the door and TVs hung on some walls for entertainment too. I'm glad I was able to enjoy a m al here.
