Went for brunch and left hungry and sick. Had to get food after. They were unprepared for our reservation, the food was not good, larva and fly cluster/swarm and all we were offered was excuses.They had weeks in advance to prepare for a large party. To say they were not prepared was an understatement. All of our party members were there and we were left waiting for 15-20 minutes until someone just so happened to ask if we were ready. We were only missing 3 or so members who were no more than 5 minutes or so late so we should have already been seated a while ago. When we got to our designated area they didn’t even have the tables ready. They asked us if it was enough seats for 26 people but shouldn’t they know the answer to that question? Very understaffed, only 1 person was taking orders while the other one was walking around making jokes. No real glasses for water just half sized plastic clear party cups, the water smelled like tap and heavy with chlorine. They only had 8 pieces of chicken left and no salmon croquettes. It took about an hour and a half to 2 hours for us to get food. The chicken tasted and smelled like Chinese food chicken, very gamey. The fried part was falling off the chicken and tasted like old oil. The regular pan fried salmon tasted like tap water, wet inside and the taste of old oil. The blue grits taste like nothing and were soggy despite having what looked to be a queso sauce on top. The fried bread pudding French toast tasted like old oils and was too wet inside. Most of us felt sick right after eating, I only picked at my food and had to stop as I started having vertigo and felt queasy as the food tasted off. I took my food to go and as we were leaving someone spotted white and black bugs in a cluster in the dining area a few feet away from us. Their excuse was sometimes the door gets left open and bugs come in… so this is a regular occurrence for a Larva/fly cluster to appear? I left my food in the to go box with them, paid my portion of the tab and let them know if we still had to pay for this nightmare it will also cost them as well. 10% off the whole order after not eating, feeling sick immediately and then finding a larva and black fly colony in the dining area which they already knew about? Terrible food, terrible experience, terrible excuses and terrible clientele management. They didn’t seem to careNEVER coming back if I come back to Atlanta.

Large group party. They were not ready. There were out of straws. No cups for hot tea. Went for brunch. How you don't have cups for coffee or tea. They had limited chicken. Food was a disappointment. It looked like a cool place unit we found some kind of maggots. I would post the pictures but it was very disturbing.

I love coming to Apache. They have a plethora of shows/entertainment. My favorite night is third Sundays, which is Dichotomy's night to host. I love to order their jerk wings. They Dj always pairs the perfect songs with the vibe. They energy is always good there. There is always an opportunity for small businesses and artist to advance themselves.

Food was good...didn't appreciate receiving my wine in a plastic cup.The drummer and host were awesome...the pianist didn't stay on tune. The songs he played weren't even close to the original version.I wish they would add a guitarist to the band....it makes a huge difference.Also, a nice bright sign on the building would make it easier to find.

I have been a fan of Apache for years. Apache was a go-to spot for me while living in the ATL. Good live music, poetry, and overall vibe.

Sat for 2 hours waiting for food, coffee was cold, and then we were told that they ran out of eggs… during brunch hours. To top it off they ran out of cups & utensils. Absolutely terrible. Don’t know how a place like this stays

Atmosphere cool. Entertainment is awesome. Service awful. Took 40 minutes to get my drink, then the food service took a long time, and then an additional 35 minutes to get another drink. Paid $70 for 2 drinks (margaritas) and an order of chicken nachos. 18% gratuity automatically added with no option. The website says that's for parties of 5 or more but the ticket was added automatically and there were 2 of us. $20 to park, $20 each to enter, and then $70 for 2 drinks and an order of nachos. When you add a 12% beverage tax, regular tax plus the automatic 18% gratuity you've added dang near an extra $30 in fees. Crazy. I can't justify spending this much and having subpar service.

My recent visit to this establishment was quite the rollercoaster. Enticed by promising Yelp reviews and a tempting menu, I decided to drop by last weekend with a friend who was visiting from out of town. Little did we know, our visit would take an unexpected turn. Despite Yelp assuring us of no wait time, we arrived to find ourselves faced with a 10-20 minute wait. Not ideal, but manageable. However, what ensued was far from what we anticipated. Thirty minutes passed, and we found ourselves still waiting, with little to no communication from the staff. Eventually, the bombshell dropped - the food truck delivering the eggs was delayed due to the traffic outside, meaning there would be no eggs available. Poor planning, perhaps? Disheartened by the lack of transparency and the prolonged wait, we made the difficult decision to leave. This was the only time I would have had to spend with my friend. For that wait, we could've just gone to ABC down the street. What added insult to injury was the sight of patrons who arrived after us being promptly seated while we continued to wait in limbo. In conclusion, my rating for this experience is based on the sheer irony of the situation.

Amir provided the best service I've had in a long time. I took my boyfriend out for a romantic evening and he made sure we felt welcomed and respected. I will be coming back here thanks to his wonderful personality.

Genuinely one of the worst places I've been to. Waiter was alright and that's about it. $41 for brunch, and it was some of the worst food I think I've even eaten. I took 2 bites and had to leave, please for the love of god don't come here for the food. I dont know how it is at night and stuff but the food was atrocious. No wonder there was only one other person seated. Just please don't even bother.
