“We had our rehearsal dinner and they were fantastic. The food was fantastic and they did an incredible job of accommodating my fiancé’s dietary restrictions. Thanks Katie Mala!”
“EXTREMELY happy with my visit here, I will absolutely be back. The bathrooms are very large, and if you need the handicapped stall, they are large enough for a seat transfer with their own sink.
The host, Luka, saw us coming and opened the doors for us, and was very pleasant. I could tell from his demeanor that we'd chosen a great restaurant. Our waitress, Sam, was also extremely friendly and very knowledgable about the menu, patient with our indeciveness (So many great options!), and fun to talk to. We ordered lamb, meatballs, rotissere chicken, and lobster bisque, and everything was just exquisite. Despite the size of the building, it's nice and quiet, and they have real candles at the tables. The lighting is a bit dim, but it's a surprisingly cozy atmosphere for how large the space is.”
“Food and Service was absolutely incredible. Amazing experience and I can’t wait to go back. I drove from Ellijay and it was well worth it!! Food was to DIE FOR!!”
“Our waiter Quinnshawn was amazing. He kept our drinks full and the biscuits coming. He recommended a mixture of 2 sauces that was out of this world. The food was a 10 all the way around. At the end they surprised us with a happy anniversary desert. ( we were celebrating our anniversary.) Thank you Quinnshawn and the red lobster family for being a major part of making our day special!”

“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘”
“My very first visit to Mama Pho won me over from the very start. I was greeted by a very pretty waitress by the name ViVi. She was so nice and sweet. The food was served in a timely manner. It was so fresh and very delicious. I'm from SC and just happened to be in the area today. But I'll be sure to stop in the next time I'm over this way. I'm gonna request ViVi because she was so patient and so kind. She even helped me out with the menu! 😀 I got 5 star service and I highly recommend this spot to anyone! 5*”
“Came here on a Friday night and wasn't expecting much but boy was I pleasantly surprised. The server was very polite and quick, as soon as we pick up the menu to order more, she was already at the table. The meats were savory but the vegetables were very fresh, we order the spinach 3 times cuz tasted so good. I have to mention the chili blue crab and it was so delicious and has a nice spicy kick. Only thing we didn't like was the mashed shrimpball paste, was too much starch added and tasted like jelly. There so many items on menu it's impossible to eat all in one settings. We will definitely be coming back for more.”
“Came here for my 16th birthday, our waiter Chris was awesome and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.”

“"It's like a consensual sexual assault on the senses." "I feel like I got hit with tear gas. Flavorful, delicious, spicy tear gas." I was first introduced to pho when I was 22 and working at a Korean law firm. For the past 11 years, pho has been my go-to meal for everything: hangover, common cold, emotional comfort. I'd not be exaggerating to estimate I've been going to different pho restaurants at least once a week for 11 years. This is the very first one where a waiter or staff member has suggested something and said "that's the way we eat it in Vietnam." Our waiter suggested a sauce mixture (the base of which is his homemade recipe) that had my husband saying the two quotes at the beginning of this review. And he added "it's like a Vietnamese holy water, purging the demons from my sinuses" before we left. I'd highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back - hopefully we'll get more "back in Vietnam" recommendations too! It adds so much to the experience when someone shares their passion and homeland experiences with you - it is obvious food here is cooked with love. I took the picture when we were almost done because it was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture at the beginning.”
“This place is next level delicious. Do not walk, but run to this place for the best food. I had the BBQ sandwich on a gluten free bun and it was incredible. I do not know if they make their own bun or where they get it, but I fell like I was eating a regular bun. No adverse effects. I had the gluten free mac and cheese and could not stop eating it till it was gone. Highly recommend!!!”
“Absolutely amazing! From the food to the service and the atmosphere has a cool vibe. The live performer was incredible and she made the dinning experience wonderful and relaxed. Smothered pork chops, oxtails, greens, cabbage, banana pudding run don’t walk!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for great meal!!”
“I traveled from North Carolina to celebrate the 4th of July holiday and discovered this fabulous restaurant near the Mall of Georgia. It was a pleasant surprise. The hostesses were bland and dry. They need more training on how to greet but my waitress Ana welcomed me with a great attitude. She made me feel so comfortable as if I was in her home personally. She exemplified excellent customer service skills. The Latin fusion was phenomenal and the DJ was on point. I didn’t want to leave. The vibe was fiyah!! I will return to get some of the best hot honey garlic wings, chips and salsa and more menu choices!”

“This Waffle House is top notch and the staff are always friendly, attentive and quick! We stop in on very busy Saturday mornings and are always impressed by how well the team performs. Nina gets it right every time! This location is great and their latest public health score is 100. Who could ask for more?”
“They need to close this MF. I always ask for Bar-b-que sauce and never get it. I drink unsweet yea, I get sweet tea. People always on their phone at the window ... Every single day they have new people working there. They don't know how to take orders, There are very slow. Where do y'all find these people. They are dumb, stupid and retarded all in one ...”
“A+ Customer Service from Alex!
I recently had a minor issue with my order at Whataburger, but thanks to the manager, Alex, it was quickly resolved. Alex was incredibly helpful and handled the situation with a wonderful attitude. Beyond just fixing the mistake, he was a genuine pleasure to talk to. His kindness and professionalism really stood out, making a simple visit a great experience. I highly recommend this location, and if you have the chance, thank Alex for his fantastic service!”

“The Flying Biscuit in Buford was pretty busy for Labor Day weekend; still, our waitress Sarah stayed attentive and professional. She checked in on my friend and I as chatted, kept drinks filled, and managed a large section with care. The food was good; the atmosphere unique and artsy. Even under pressure, the team delivered a smooth experience. I'll be back!”
“My daughter and I have been eagerly counting down the days until Okiboru opened. What a treat it was to enjoy lunch there today! We arrived about five minutes before the store was supposed to open and were prepared to wait outside. Nope! The door opened for us and we were happily ushered inside to the beautiful new eatery. We were pleased with many choices on the menu—truly something for everybody—and enjoyed all of the dishes we tried today. We ordered spicy ramen, Tsukemen, and two different smell plates to ensure we got to taste a variety of menu offerings. Everything was delicious and brought us back to sampling ramen on a trip to Japan several years ago. Customer service was also excellent. The restaurant may be new but the staff already have everything down perfectly. A shoutout to our waitress Cassie who made sure we knew all about tsukemen, guided us when we asked for some pronunciation help, and made sure we were taken care of well for the duration of our visit. We will be back time and time again. Okiboru is a welcome addition to the food available at the mall!”
“Great service, good to great food and a busy-under-control atmosphere. Always good to have a reservation. Let me tell 'ya brothers 'n sisters, there SHOULD BE ONE OF THESE IN OUR CLOSE LOCALITY. We hit some high places and others on our Sunday Brunch research, this is one of the better places we visit. We have been to a couple locations with great to greater results every time. This location is near the Mall of Georgia, pretty close in real terms. The DO have reservations, so it makes it a pleasure to go, to be seated quickly and have good service, a full bar and a competent kitchen staff.. This time our waitress was Kashmir and she was the best. We also had a Chance to talk to the AG (Assistant Goddess) Pam, she remembered us from our past visit-months ago, and was both cordial and helpful. We DO NOT forget good staff. The food was all on point, my Avocado Eggs Benedict was terrific with a good amount of Cheesy Hollandaise sauce and perfect poached eggs. Deanne's omelette was terrific, so was her pancake --she said. Bill's Crab-Cake Eggs Benedict was just right. The coffee's were great, and the brunch cocktails were some of the best we encounter on our weekly brunch-hunt.. Kudos to you and your staff, Snooze.....”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Paris Baguette in Buford, GA is an absolute gem! The coffee was excellent and piping hot, exactly how it should be to end the day. We tried the Soufflé Cheesecake and it was light, fluffy, and delicious—definitely worth the trip. We sat outside on the patio and had a wonderful time with friends, which made the experience even better. Inside, the bakery was clean, welcoming, and beautifully maintained, and the employees were kind, helpful, and attentive.
Whether you’re in Buford, at The Exchange at Gwinnett, or just passing through, Paris Baguette is a must-visit for fresh pastries, quality coffee, and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!”
“A hole in the wall restaurant nestled at the back of an unassuming gas station, Taquito Potosino is a must try. Don’t let the location fool you - the food is fresh, cheap, generously portioned, and delicious. My favorite item is the steak burrito - it’s massive, the meat is tender, and somehow it’s only $9. Don’t come here expecting a decadent meal - the food is simple, a bit greasy, and the atmosphere is well… gas station, but I still find myself coming back for more.”
“Awesome 5course tapas and tequila dinner with good friends- we’ll be back!”
“Really fun place. I'm generally not a fan of eating sushi this way but was pleasantly surprised by the selection and the options available in the kiosk every table gets. Decor is fun, options on the belt are good, and they have a good number of additional apps like calamari, mussels, fried oysters, etc.”

“EXCELLENT BBQ! I Stopped by for a quick lunch. Being a huge bbq connoisseur, I enjoy going to every bbq place i can find around North GA. Tom was smoking the brisket at this location and it absolutely is the best brisket ive had! Tender and juicy, with great seasoned flavor. Most places that claim to have good bbq just have dry brisket.
I also got some pulled pork, smoked turkey, and smoked sausage.
The pork was good, and the seasoning added a nice flavor. The turkey was great! I expected it to be dry and it was also tender and moist. The smoked sausage i expected to be spicy, as is most, and its not very spicy, but also not overly juicy like most.
Lastly i got the banana pudding which comes topped with a caramel glaze and some cinnamon whipped cream. Excellent dessert!
10/10 recommend City BBQ in Buford!”

“Cold Pressed Gwinnett's 3-Day Cleanse came right on time! I've been considering a cleanse to give my body a boost, and I'm happy I chose CPG's cleanse. The juices are delicious, and the wellness shot is a great jumpstart to the day. The detox instructions were detailed and answered all of my questions. I'll purchase again!”
“This place is so wonderful!
The food was awesome!
The atmosphere & cleanliness was outstanding!
My waitress, Ciara, was Fantastic!!!!
This place is definitely a must try & and we will always be back for more!”
“This was our first time to the Lake Lanier waterpark and we had a blast. We ate here at the Paradise Beach Cantina and enjoyed everything well enough. We got their enchiladas and some nachos. The covered patio is a great spot to eat with a view of the park. The service was fast and friendly so I'm sure we will return here again on our next visit. With their proximity it's probably the best choice, especially if you're there with family.”
Cheap Eats
“Usually when I get an apple fritter, it is as dry as a hockey puck. At The Queen's, it was one of the best fritters I have had in a long time. The second time I went in, I tried the sunflower. That was just a good. Hot or cold americano was smooth and not bitter. Great little coffee and donut place.”
“I ordered takeout and got the pork intestine in dry pot, along with some hot and sour soup. The food was delicious! The dry pot was very flavorful, hearty and aromatic, perfect for a rainy day. I believe they use Szechuan peppercorn with this, as I had that nice mouth-numbing sensation. It could have been a little spicier for my liking, but that is my only remark (and I understand why they might take it easy on the spice to be safe).
The hot and sour soup was also yummy. It is one of my favorite dishes to order at a Chinese restaurant. I am pleased to say this is one of the better ones I've had! We'll definitely have to come dine in at some point in the future.”
“yo no sabia que tenia esta pasteleria tan cercas de mi casa y ahora que probé el pan, roscas, flan, gelatinas y los pasteles solo me falta los bolillos ja ja ja ja. les puedo decir que estan deliciosos y económicos. el servicio de lujo super amables y informativos y Beatriz no se diga super alegre”
“My family loves this place. We come here on a fairly regular basis. The atmosphere is fun and great. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Susanna waits on us a lot. She is always smiling and checks on us regularly. Their drinks are amazing also...Very authentic Mexican food with good size portions.”

“Went today with my daughter- the manager Mitch was so friendly and was helpful to his staff, he was a breath of fresh air and he did everything possible to make sure our visit was top notch! Our waitress Ashley was attentive, professional and very nice as well as an outstanding waitress. We really appreciate all their hard work even though they didn’t have much staff. These two deserve a raise for everything they have to do every day!”
“Our visit was for a family birthday with a large party. The atmosphere and service made our evening very memorable. The special attention payed to the young people was much appreciated. The leftover dinner lastnight was every bit as delicious as it was in the restaurant. We will definitely drive from Snellville to visit again!”
“Absolutely loved the cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality at Big Cheese Cafe, a Mediterranean family restaurant. The flavors were a delightful journey, each dish telling a story of tradition and care. A hidden gem for those craving an authentic taste of Turkey in a welcoming setting. We are returning each week knowing that they will not disappoint.”

The host was warm and gracious. Jayden, our server was attentive and kind! The atmosphere was great! All the stars for Bubba33 in Buford, GA!”
“We ate dinner tonight after a relaxing day at Spaland. We were waited on a very knowledgeable you man named Tony. My daughter and I sat at a high top in the bar area. He had many reconditions for everything from drinks to desserts. He knew it all. Had a great personality upbeat and fun. We enjoyed out time immensely. The wait staff can make or break someone's dining experience; Tony made it the best. The food was great also.”

“The staff were great. Patient while we tasted a couple of items and explaining the ingredients. The ice cream that I got was delicious and a uniques flavor. Several of the flavors were ones I’d never seen anywhere else. We had a great experience and will definitely stop in again.”

“I tried bb.q Chicken recently and was seriously impressed. We ordered the Galbi Boneless and dumplings, and everything tasted incredibly fresh—you can really tell the food is made with care and not just pulled from the freezer like a lot of places these days.
The flavor on the chicken was amazing: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the galbi sauce was perfect without being too heavy. The dumplings were super good too—crispy, hot, and full of flavor.
On top of that, the hospitality and patience from the staff made the whole experience even better. It actually felt worth paying for the food, which is rare when so many spots serve overpriced, low-quality stuff.
Definitely planning to come back!”
“The boba hotpot was so fun. We had the smaller size and it was enough for 4 ppl. The tea was tasty, and there were plenty of fresh toppings. I recommend the egg pudding topping, boba, mochi, and the oreo. We had fried milk and chicken too, and the chicken was pretty good.”
“I lived on the West Coast when I was younger and ate at places that aren't represented out here that much, including Whataburger. The new stores are awesome, and so is the food!!! I don't remember the Whataburger of my childhood even tasting this good. For a fast food burger, you ain't getting much better than this. Their boneless wing sauce on the tenders packs some good heat, and their spicy chicken sandwich blows Wendy's out of the water. Go ahead, indulge. The food is good and the service was great..I also got a milkshake cuz I'm an adult, and I do what I want”
