“We were served the best food by our wonderful server Haley. Oysters Rockefeller, Smoked cream cheese, beet salad and of course delicious steaks and seafood. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Lester and the atmosphere are nice, the food is delicious, and the wine and cocktails are good. There is a set menu for lunch, so you can enjoy a delicious lunch at a reasonable price. The soup was a bit salty, and they bring several desserts so you can choose from them. The dessert looked pretty, but the taste was so-so.”
“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!!”

“Absolutely delicious and fresh! Decided to give this a try based on reviews and how quickly we needed to get through our meal. The bowls were sooooo tasty and the sauces were the perfect topping for the meals. Looking forward to taking our kids. Also, love the music. It’s always an uplifting meal!”
“Great food, great outdoor seating. Though I've been there before, I will comment on the pricing between what shows on Google and at food truck. I ordered one order of empanadas after I got done eating, thought I was going to get four, noticed when I got home the next day it was only two.
Though much bigger empanadas, I was kinda hoping for four.
Doesn't matter food was still absolutely amazing, I haven't been to Colombia in about 25 years, and it was reminiscent of the street food I had when I lived there.
Would absolutely recommend, and will be going m, and supporting a local small business
Thought I took pictures of the food, I typically do, but forgot
Parking: Parking is a bit tight. Between the apartment building, and the restaurants, I did have to walk from the gravel area.”
“Excellent hotpot place in town! It includes many delicious hot appetizers. The food items are fresh. Very friendly staff and quick service. Clean and inviting atmosphere. They give you metal spoons instead of plastic ones. My husband and I highly recommend this place. If you don't want to do hot pot, you can order a la carte.”

“Tequila Mama advertises Half price house cocktails on Thursdays but when we went and ordered House Margaritas the check comes and they are full price. We ask to speak to the manager and he is all snobby and just says "For us Margaritas are not a cocktail". Ok well for the rest of the entire world Margaritas are a cocktail and your special doesn't say anything about exlucuding it. So these guys are dishonest jokes. If I have anything to say about it we won't be back.”

“Everyone here is great every time i come in!! No matter what, I'm always greeted and given the best service. my most recent time here, there was a young guy training on the grill and he wasnt too quick. It was busy and he and the server were getting stressed out but! Giving him a chance everyones food ended up being fantastic :) it was probably one of the best hashbrown bowls i've ever had.”
“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 ...”
“Wow, just wow. I love this place. We got the Viking and the tempura cheesecake. Absolutely delicious. Staff is super friendly. Everyone has to go.”

“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!”
“First time at El Taco Jalisco. Food, service and atmosphere are awesome. Waitress was helpful in our menu choice. They have breakfast too. Very authentic food, but not super spicy. There is a spicy sauce on the table. Few tables and a few booths. They get pretty busy at times. Check the website for hours.”
“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'm not quite sure what happened to my previous review from YEARS ago.... Maybe i deleted it in error while trying to edit photos. If you've been to the Dawg House, then you already know this review isn't for you. This review is for anyone online looking for a place to eat. What to expect at the Dawg House: 1. Fresh food 2. Amazing taste 3. Large variety of items to pick from 4. Great price 5. Amazing/kind service They can get busy during peak hours, so if you're in a hurry and expecting to order and get your food in 3-5 minutes... go to a fast food joint instead. This family is amazing and always makes sure everything you get is FRESH. Freshness can take time, so sit down with a friend, enjoy a conversation, and enjoy the feast you're about to receive. A few of my favorites are: Their wings (Lemmon peper and mango jabañero... best wings I know of), their burgers (they also have smash burgers now), their chicken Philly (pictured here), their chili cheese dog, etc etc etc... you get the point. The Dawg House is honestly one of only a FEW places where I've been going for years, and EVERY item is great. I've never had a visit where i thought, "eh... not a fan. " Makes it tough because when you go back, you don't know what to get because it is all good. During peak hours, sitting inside may be a bit tough to find as the space is on the smaller side. Order to go if you're visiting during peak hours. They have a COCA-COLA machine for self serve delicious and crisp sodas. I'll be sure to update more photos as I visit. Shame all the pictures I've taken through the years are gone, but this just means I get to go back and retry everything on their menu!!”

“My 14 year old son wanted to go here so badly! It was a 45 min drive, but so worth it! I've been to similar places before. This was, by far the best!
We got the all upu care to eat option for $29.95 each. This includes everything except drinks and sashimi. The conveyer belt had a huge variety of sushi, all very fresh. We also were able to order hot dishes and dessert off an electronic menu right at the table. As soon as the dishes were ready, they were sent to the table via a conveyer belt that resembled an electric train. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was brightly decorated. Very kid friendly, but it also had a fully stocked bar. So fun!”
“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!”

“My husband and I just had lunch at the Buford location and what a hidden gem!!! The people were very friendly and the food was amazing! I’ve never had this type of fare before but oh my goodness! It was sooo good! We had a pollo empanada that was unlike any I’ve had before and a plantain dish I cannot remember the name of but it is probably my new favorite food so I need to figure it out 🤣 My husband had a ham and cheese croissant sandwich and inhaled it before I could even ask if he liked it. They’re very fast, very clean, very nice and the food is delicious! Do yourself a favor and check them out!”
“I finally ate here for the first time last night, and it was wonderful! The decor and atmosphere is bright and uplifting, and the food and service were exceptional. I ordered the Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu, and the spice level and flavor were perfect! I will definitely be back!”
“My husband surprised me with a date night at the Blue Mermaid Saturday night. it was soooo good!! Our hostess was so helpful with us choosing what to eat. ( we aren't too familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine) The food was fresh and delicious. We highly recommend this lovely restaurant and are planning to come back soon.”
Cheap Eats
“Again, again and again my favorite cafe here! Visited again after some months in my home country and still the loveliest people working here, with yummy sweets and a hot chocolate to die for! Love it, just always so relaxing and and a nice variety to the loud and unpersonal standart cafes around here.
Kid-friendliness: cute motives on the sweets, and I sometimes have craft/draw/homework sessions with my young sisters here.”
“The best authentic Mexican food! Absolutely the best. My favorite is the veggie torta! But everything here is good. Breakfast tacos are awesome as well. They open early 6:30 am. They make their own salsa which is amazing also. Really can't go wrong. Don't be off put by it being in a gas station. They been here for many years and hopefully will be for many many more!”
“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.”
“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”
“We frequently hit the Buford friends as they are always very accommodating to our large party. Bruce, the owner always takes the extra step to make sure everyone has exactly what they need. They discontinued the extremely hot wing sauce that is my default go to but they’re always willing to mix a batch on request. It’s nice to have that personal touch with a local restaurant that everyone enjoys”
“I went to lunch here today and was blown away. Super friendly and professional wait staff, and absolutely delicious food! The manager (owner?) came out to speak to us, and we assured her we would be back!”
“Great Habachi Place. The only thing I don't like is that they won't let you in unless everyone is present even though you have 1 person 5 minutes behind. You have to sit at the table for 30 minutes anyway.”
“The food is of a Cajun flavored nature. It's depends on ones order. It is a place I wouldn't frequent often. The food is very fresh, the atmosphere is wonderful and the service is good.
Parking: Plenty of parking but shared with other business. The lot can be crowded at times.”
“Amazing experience!!! Not only are you on Lake Lanier but you get to experience great food. The food is well seasoned and the menu has a lot to offer.
When you go here and want to sit at the bar, ASK FOR HUNTER. He’s friendly but he has tons of experience in the kitchen as well as the bar. Your drinks will be made with love and you won’t regret it, seriously.
Great place!!!”

“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!”
“I've been a Chinese buffet eater since I was a young man and I'm now in my mid-50s. This is the best I've ever had. And I have been to so many. I stated Chinese buffet but this is actually an Asian buffet. Mostly Chinese but a few things that are Japanese and Korean. You just can't beat the lunch price for this. $10 for quality food and there are so many options. The wait staff is superb. Dinner is quite a bit more so I usually just go at lunch. As far as I can tell the only thing dinner offers more is crawfish. Endless mussels which is my favorite. You won't find any tuna on the sushi bar but hey considering the price they are giving for a lunch buffet the sushi is good. Hot and sour soup is top-notch. Egg rolls are cooked perfectly and the fried rice is the only way to go if you get rice. As far as the main options and not the sides I highly recommend the Malaysian chicken. Add some extra onions and green peppers from some of the other dishes. On a bed of fried rice. It is unbelievably good. Throw in a few butter mushrooms if you like them and hit it lightly with soy sauce. I go about twice a month and I'm never disappointed.”
“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!”
“Tonight I had Los Cabos for the first time from El Rey Del Pastor. I will say that it was very good and I would recommend this dish to all sea food lovers. So far every time I have a meal from here it is prepared to my liking. I’m just saying that I feel like I get the best treatment every time I go! Thanks guys if it’s just me thanks but you guys do me right I must say.”

“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!”
“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.”
