“We had a great time with my daughter and her friend eating lunch today . Truly enjoyed our food ,highly recommended 😊”
“Aqua Terra never fails to wow! We eat there often, but they really went above and beyond to make our son's rehearsal dinner perfect in every way. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of the evening. Kelsea coordinated seemlessly with me every step of the way via e-mail. There is a significant food allergy concern with our daughter-in-law and she made sure that had been communicated well in advance to every member of the team. The downstairs room was set up exactly as expected with thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Our two servers were outstanding from the moment we arrived to decorate until the last of us left the building at the end of a wonderful night.The food, of course, was delicious from appetizers to main courses to desserts. Everyone raved about the entire evening! I highly recommend Aqua Terra for any meal you can enjoy there, but truly, they put this special night for the bride and groom over the top!”
“We love this place! The menu is thoughtful and purposefully keeps the calorie count limited while not sacrificing flavor. There are also seasonal dishes. Highly recommend the filet, lamb loin and brussel sprouts. The desserts are also delicious (served in a shot glass so you can try more than one!). They also cater to your special occasion in small but very sweet ways. Atmosphere is great, general dinner conversation and not too loud. Service is always impeccable!”
“We had a wonderful experience at Red Lobster at Mall of Georgia. Omar was our waiter and he was phenomenal. He was very attentive, checked on us. All the time made great suggestions for adult drinks, brought us a beautiful birthday tribute, and we wish every dining experience was as Pleasant and relaxing as tonight.”
“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 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!”

“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!”
“We went to try the 1/2 price wings.. Kayla the bartender was amazing.. the wings.. were Fantastic! Tried 2 Feb special flavors, 2 menu flavors.. loved them all.. atmosphere was great.. I was a little taken back by the cost of my Jameson on the rocks.. (single pour) $16 I did inquire thinking well drinks would be less, $15. Little bit pricey for liquor but definitely recommend.”

“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 ...”
“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!”
“Well, we ordered a familiar dish that is worth 125 dollars. The food was excellent. I love garlic willow. There was enough to bathe your seafood in it , the atmosphere very relaxed and pleasant to my liking , I highly recommend this place .”

“Original menus that change daily, or there about. Every time I visit Georgia I get Rico’s for dinner. Food is always delicious and the flavors are original. Truly the chef’s restaurant! It’s usually a yearly birthday thing also. I appreciate his use of fresh local ingredients and his support of local growers. We can all pay it forward when we start with the best ingredients and intentions. It’s a good thing…..”
“If you’re looking for clean eats or a place that is gluten friendly then this is the place for you! I’ve recently been diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity so I’ve been looking for places that have gluten free options and this was one of them! The food is amazing! Everything tastes so fresh and the ingredients are clearly marked on the menu. The associates were very friendly and the establishment was very clean and welcoming. The prices are very fair for the portion size. I’ve definitely became a regular at this point. The only thing I would recommend is for the associates to point out the reward program because I’ve missed out on so many potential points.”

“We were in town visiting friends and got a gluten free pizza from here and would 100% recommend! My son has celiac disease and when I called ahead of time to ask how the pizza was prepared the woman on the phone was very helpful. They cannot guarantee no cross contamination but explained they would make it in the back separate from where other pizzas are prepared using ingredients that are separate from the ones they use on their main line. It’s cooked in a separate metal pan, glove change/washed hands, etc. She verified the toppings we wanted were all gluten free. I felt comfortable with these precautions and the pizza was delicious. Bbq Chicken Pizza w/o onions and cilantro. 💕”
“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.....”
“I stopped by the Paris Baguette in Buford and was really impressed — they have a huge selection of pastries that look just as good as they taste, plus a whole display of beautiful cakes that makes it hard to choose just one. The café lounge area is clean, bright, and a genuinely nice place to sit for a bit, whether you’re grabbing coffee or hanging out with friends. I also liked that they offer a decent variety of sandwiches, so it’s easy to grab something more filling along with a treat. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re in the mood for something sweet or just want a cozy place to relax.”
“Came here for my 16th birthday, our waiter Chris was awesome and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Where do I begin? This place is amazing. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is spot on. The atmosphere is just wonderful. We unfortunately don't live in Georgia but every time we go up once a year we always make sure we stopped and get our Revolving Sushi fix.”

“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*”
“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!”
“I’ve been to a lot of Mexican spots around all around Georgia, but this place stands out as having hands-down the best food at the most affordable prices. The flavors are authentic and spot-on every single time—whether it’s the tacos, burritos, or fajitas, everything tastes fresh and made with care. No skimping on portions either!
What really seals the deal is the quick service. I can pop in for lunch or dinner and be in and out fast without ever feeling rushed, which is perfect for busy days. The food consistency is impressive too—I’ve ordered the same dishes multiple times and they’re always delicious, never a letdown.
If you’re looking for great Mexican food that won’t break the bank and comes with friendly, speedy service, this is your spot. Highly recommend—it’s become my go-to!”

“We have lived in Georgia for 2 years and have been looking for an authentic Cuban Sandwich. The search is over! Coco’s is definitely your place for all things Cuban. My wife and I both had a Cuban Sandwich and some sweet plantains. The service and atmosphere were great and the food was a amazing! I highly recommend Coco’s and we will definitely be back!”
“Amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was so helpful explaining how to order, sharing specials, and recommending the best options. The food was fresh, delicious, and my whole family loved it—even my picky mother-in-law said it was amazing! Definitely coming back. 10/10 recommend!”

“The waiter was incredibly attentive and really provided not just good service but a great experience. The food was on another level, classic American Italian food that makes you want to come back everyday. The price shocked me when I got the bill as it was far less than what I expected to pay for this great food and service. We will be back again and again.”
“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.”
“Food was fantastic as always!! Our hostess, named Connie, was the friendliest and most accommodating hostess I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!”
“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“My boyfriend recently took us to a Korean fried chicken restaurant at The Exchange in Buford. While the food was good, I was disappointed by the limited non spicy flavor options since I don’t like spicy food.
After leaving my workout class yesterday and deciding what dinner would be I came across this restaurant and was excited to see they offered a much wider variety of flavors. I ordered an 8-piece wing combo of the Honey Garlic, Soy, and Galbi flavors and spent around $55.
The wings were a hit in my household. What was funny is that we all ended up having a different favorite. The Soy was my favorite, my boyfriend loved the Honey Garlic, and my older sister preferred the Galbi. The chicken was cooked well and each flavor had its own distinct taste.
Since I attend workout classes across the way 3–5 times a week I can definitely see myself becoming a repeat customer.
My only suggestion would be to consider marking the flavor names or do abbreviations on the boxes. Since the flavors weren’t identified on the packaging I had to go back to the website to figure out which was which. It wasn’t a major issue but it could be a helpful convenience for customers who are grabbing their food and heading out in a hurry.
Overall, great food, great flavor variety, and I’ll definitely be back.”
“Wings were on point. Crispy, spicy and tangy. The Gyro had plenty of meat and enough of veggies and sauce. The fries were nice and crispy but soft inside. Everything was hot & fresh and full of flavor. I have ate at this food court many times but was always curious to try this place out, and let me tell you it didn't dissapoint! I very much enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back.”
“First time visiting this new establishment and we were not disappointed. The menu has many options for anyone, including children. Friendly staff and environment, and child friendly. Large portions and very tasty meals. Everyone was happy at our table. The children loved the robot delivering to tables.”
“This place is pretty good.
Well made wraps etc. The shakes are a little iced-down as it is with all other similar places, but the ordering process & non-rushed time taken to make items & apparent organic wholeness, makes for a good choice.
I will continue to support.”
“This place has the best jasmine tea and gardenia flower tea, robust flavors and unique teas❤️❤️❤️ I have fortunately had good customer service at this place so far. They are expensive compared to all other places. It’s worth once in a while if you crave some authentic teas. Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Coakley's is a nice clean spot - I had the Fish and Chips and it was an average size portion but tasted really good. It was a weeknight and they were pretty empty - some regulars or friends were there and one guy was yelling the F word as loud as he could over and over. I'm no prude, but 15 minutes of that got really old and that kind or ruined the vibe. It looksnlike a pub but doesn't feel like one. The server was nice, and the food and an Old fashioned were good.”
