HOBNOB Neighborhood Tavern

"I wanted to take the opportunity to say great job to the manager and team at Hobnob Vinings! My wife visited the restaurant with her sorority sisters on 2/18/2024. She ordered some food to bring home. Upon arriving home she realized everything she had ordered was not in the bag. She and I drove back to the restaurant to get the missing items. The manager and team did a great job acknowledging their mistake and working to make up for it. I will not say everything that he and the team did to make us feel better, because that is subjective. Nonetheless, we were very happy. Great job of making the customer feel like they still matter!!!"

"They were amazing. Customer service was the best I’ve had in a long time. They saw that we were not eating our appetizer and walked up and asked if we didn’t like it. Then took it off the bill for us. Even though it was good just not our taste. We didn’t even have to say anything about it either. They also filled our glasses very good the whole time."

"Loved this place & dining experience. Our server Matthew was awesome. This was our 1st time eating here. Beautiful decor, great atmosphere, clean bathrooms, delicious food & drinks. If you come on Sunday, be advised that the alcohol can't be served until after 11 (they open at 10:30 on Sunday). Will definitely return the next time I'm in Atlanta"

"I came in one evening after browsing online at home and stumbling across a promotion online to become a Hobnob Rewards Member. There was an incentive in place that grants you a discount on your bill. I figured this may be the perfect place to go and enjoy Thursday night football. I come in and sit at the bar, there are two patrons already present. A woman greets me fairly quickly and gives me a menu. I order an old fashioned and watch the game as I wait. Found out she wasn't the bartender and she passed my order along. Although the restaurant was really empty with about 6 tables total (which includes myself and the other 2 at the bar), it took about 10 mins to get my drink. And, when the bartender returned to the bar he greeted and checked on the guys already seated while ignoring me. Again, super quiet bar not sure of the logic here. Makes 0 sense on why he'd walk past me when it's apparent that I was the latest to arrive and was sitting there with a menu. I grab his attention by saying, "Excuse me, can I please order?" He said, "Yes"..and everything moved forward as it should. I had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, which were okay. Definitely not the best in Atlanta. I ordered the mac and cheese with salmon as my entree and it was completely charred. Even as the bartender put the plate down he had a look that read ...wow that's burnt! But, tried to play it off and give it to me nonetheless. I continued to look at the food and quickly decided that I cannot allow myself to eat it. I got the bartender's attention and told him that both the fish and mac are burnt -- I can't eat it. He takes it away to get me a new one. When it returns they've cooked the fish to the expected standard, but kept the burnt mac and cheese. I'm annoyed, but at this point, extremely hungry. I start rationalizing the fact that I have the rewards discount that I will receive on the bill, I'll just use that to justify what I should've had comped due to the poor preparation of the meal. When it was time to close out my check, I state that I'm a rewards member and wanted to use the discount. The manager on duty told me that I couldn't. It needed to be for my next visit. This was 100% baffling to me. I didn't sign up for rewards while sitting in the establishment. I did it hours prior from the comfort of my home, this IS my next visit. She pretty much said sorry, that's how it works. So then I felt it was time to recap the extremely poor service and overall experience had that night, in addition to the poor execution of the rewards system. She apologized and added a 10% discount which equates to $2 off of the salmon mac. I definitely felt that it should've comped. 85% of the meal was still on my plate when I closed out for the night. It's a shame that it was such a bad experience for me. I was hoping that I could add it into my short list of restaurants I frequent often. I don't plan on returning. And, if anyone ever suggests that we go there, I'm going to summarize this visit and tell them that we need to go elsewhere."

"Stopped by since they recently opened for business. Was a nice evening with somewhat cool weather, I sat outside. I quickly came to regret it because the fans were set to the max and were blowing an unnecessary and uncomfortable cold air. I asked the server if they could do something about it but she mentioned they couldn’t shut it down because it may bother the people behind us. Funny enough a couple of minutes later someone got up and shut it down. We all agreed it was too cold but the unwillingness of the staff to help was worse. Because of this I cut my visit short and decided to leave after finishing my drink. The menu looked appealing with a good variety of items. The service was very slow. Took over 20 minutes to get our order and the server brought the wrong wine. Took a long time to get the replacement. The check also took a while to arrive. It’s unlikely I’ll return soon and I wouldn’t recommend this location."
