Terrible place. Owners are terrible people. Just terrible. Wish they had the smallest amount of respect for their neighbors.

The only reason I stopped coming so often is that I moved away. It’s lovely! Admittedly, the cocktails are just okay, but it’s got a great vibe and the pours are generous. I miss this place and will stop by when I’m in the area.

We called the establishment and Tamika was very rude, she didn’t want to take our $0.34 cents when the total was $51.34, we walked in to pick up our order she didn’t even acknowledge us, after we got our change back she didn’t even give us the food she made us get it ourselves and she still never acknowledged us. But the minute people who were a different race walked in she was very nice to them but the last few times we’ve been here we’ve have great customer service. The food was very salty and small and overpriced for what we had.

I have been going to University Joint in Decatur for about 1 year, they have the Best food, I am very very, very picky about how my food should look and taste, I always order the food long hotdog and especially their Chicken Tenders, all 5 pieces are so big that I can eat them for my lunch and dinner ?️ Judy Dunn, Teacher for Atlanta Public Schools.Parking: Behind near the Convince store near University

U-Joint is a mixed experience. The location and atmosphere are wonderful. Oakhurst is a relatively bike and pedestrian-friendly area and U-Joint has a beautiful patio including heaters during colder weather. This is great because so many other restaurants in Decatur shut down their patios as soon as it’s not perfect weather outside (winter and summer). The food is pretty good and they have some interesting and delightful menu items in addition to the normal bar food. Our kids love this place and often request it multiple times a week. Service is usually very nice and helpful as well.If you have any sort of a time limit, this is not the place to eat. Even on slower days the food can sometimes take a very long time to arrive at the table. We’ve learned to build this into our dining experience and avoid this place if we have somewhere to be at a certain time. It doesn’t make much sense and we complained on one particular occasion when our kids food came out and then my wife and I waited 20 minutes additional for our food. The manager argued with us and said that it didn’t take that long and that a medium burger could take up to 15 minutes to be cooked. She said she would check their system and get back with us. We never heard back even with me calling up there a few times to ask for an update.The last issue we have here is that there are “bar flies” who are here nearly every day and some of them decide to smoke less than 5 feet from the patio despite the City of Decatur having an ordinance that no one should smoke within 50 feet of a restaurant or park. A good many of them are respectful and will go behind the building, but nearly every time we are there, one of them will smoke right by the patio. It ruins the experience.
