E PurdyMarch 5, 2017I was there at 10:50 am, so I waited as this was my 1st visit. Well at 11:10 they still had not opened. I was disappointed as their sign states they open @ 11. I left prior to eating.
CarmiYahJanuary 18, 2018What does the Most High allow us to eat..
Carl BlackMarch 17, 2014They charge a 4% fee for take-out orders, and the food is served in polystyrene boxes with plasticware. I understand a surcharge for compostables, but for styrofoam...?!
JH 3August 26, 2020Food is good if you want to wait over an hour to get it. It may be an Atlanta staple but you can't eat what you don't get. Skip this place. Wait time is truly unacceptable.
Stephen FreshleyFebruary 2, 2016Meh...this place is all hype. The parking is terrible, and the food is normal or un-extraordinary. This place is definitely skippable and does not live up to the hype at all.
- Martha DowdellJune 9, 2016The food was unsatisfactory, had to send back twice & they still didn't get it right. Sides were very small & prices were extremely high for what you got. We will never go back.
Walk home to get the weight of all that food off ... Cause u just gained 5lbs

"The homemade 20 yolk tagliatelle with mushrooms and butter sauce was amazing. Nix the kimchi if you're vegetarian. And get The Confessor to drink-- delish."
