"This place truly is Atlanta's hidden gem. I love the combination of delicious food and a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a game of pool. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere among patrons is casual and relaxed. As for the food, the burgers are top-notch, and I highly recommend trying the Long Island."

"Good burgers and good onion rings. Hard to find good onion rings. Can no longer eat here comfortably. Watched the bartender come from behind bar, pet a dog with both hands and not even think about washing her hands before continuing to serve. That’s sick behavior in a food service industry."

"South African flavors were a first for me, and it they were great! I had the boerewors sandwich and it was delish! The service was great, our server answered all of our questions - we had many since it was our first time. They had card/board games and a good variety of music. I really enjoyed this place! It checked off all my boxes."

"Fast service-always available. Never let me down. Pool tables are great, seats hurt my butt, lol. Decent food for a bar. I keep coming back here because it’s a safe place to get a drink and maybe a bite. I’m updating this because recently the food has been lacking seasoning: maybe it always has and I’ve been lit. Lemon pepper wings were drenched in lemon pepper I couldn’t eat one. My chicken sandwich had no seasoning, no sauce just dry and regular. I wasn’t pleased with it. Good size and quantity, onion rings great but I think they should taste their own food and do a revamp on some things to tighten up!"
