Salmon blt was very good. The jalapeño ranch was excellent it made it taste excellent. Salmon cooked just right. Deviled eggs a lil sweet for my taste but still good. read more

We were seated inside quickly by the hostess. So no complaint there. The inside was not bad at all. We ordered the spring rolls which were good with the sweet chili dipping sauce. Next time, they should come out with additional plates for the guest to share. The wife ordered the turkey leg southern. They Turkey leg was good along with the cornbread and greens but the Mac and cheese tasted bland and box made. The cheese did not do it for us. I had the turkey leg original and I added mashed potatoes and broccoli. My complaints are Kayla the waitress did not check on us and make sure we were good until we asked for the check. Our drinks remained empty during the duration of our dinner meals. Not sure if Michael was the owner or who he was but he made sure to continually check on us. We may go back to give it another chance but I guess we will see. read more

Well this is my second time and I was kinda excited because we got here early this time. Last time we got here and they didn't have a lot of the food on the menu. So this time we got the Fried Social Ribs, Deviled Eggs, Spring Rolls, Calamari, mashed potatoes and Fries. Fried Social Ribs- Tender and Juicy with a light batter and bbq sauce. Deviled Eggs- not very appealing or tasty. Tasted like pre bought boiled eggs like you buy at Walmart. Spring Rolls- they tasted good, but they gave me 3 sliced in half and on my last visit here I only got 2 so I don't know what it's supposed to be. Calamari- came with fried jalapeños which I loved but my daughter didn't like them fried together Fries-like a double fried French fry, nice crisp Mashed potatoes-can you say boxed Service was good, friendly and polite Now the feel is great and is a nice place overall to hang out with friends. The place looks really good read more

1942 on the Square in McDonough, GA After leaving an event in Hampton, GA, I decided to try 1942 on the Square for a bite to eat. The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown McDonough, which has a charming and walkable vibe definitely a cute area to explore. Once seated, the waitress brought over the menus, but unfortunately, the service didn't feel welcoming. There was no greeting, no mention of whether it was my first time, no explanation of the menu, and no suggestions or highlights of best-sellers just a very routine drop-off. From the menu, I ordered the 1942 Punch, which I'd rate a 3/5. Not bad, but not memorable. For my entrée, I had the Blackened Salmon Dinner Plate, which was actually good. While the food was decent, I don't see myself returning. It felt like a "try it once" type of experience. Also worth noting: the automatic 18-20% gratuity that many Metro Atlanta-area spots add I'll never get used to it, especially when the service doesn't match. I left a kind note on my receipt suggesting the waitress improve her customer service. read more

1942 On The Square - Chilling doing hookah and having drinks - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Water tasted like old pipes, the sweet tea was too sweet and not good/old. The grouper was super hard on the outside and overcooked. The wings were temperature hot and good flavor but way too small and only 2 drummies out of 10 which is unacceptable for the price they charge. The burger was also very dry. The greens tasted like pure pickle juice. Also if you're thirsty this is not the place to go to because they don't do refills, (no acceptions) The one positive thing i would say about our visit is that our server was really good and nice. read more

The food was so tasty, seasoned just right! The surface was super friendly, and the decor was beautiful and relaxing! Highly recommend!

Had a great experience at 1942 On The Square! Our server, Precious was very attentive, friendly, and informative. The food was delicious! Everything was well-seasoned, fresh, and served piping hot. Can't recommend the zucchini fries with the jalapeño ranch enough -- those were to die for! The drinks were strong and well-balanced. We really appreciated that the fruit flavor in the margaritas wasn't artificial tasting or overly sweet. Praises to the manager as well. I can't unfortunately can't recall her name, but she was so pleasant to speak with, and very receptive to the minor feedback we had about not being able to find the location or a sign from the road. Her openness to suggestions was a refreshing interaction. The outdoor area had a great ambiance, even in the rain. I can't wait to see what it's like at night with music or on a sunny day. We'll definitely be back soon!! read more

Food good! Service from Adrian at ther bar was great! Although it was raining when I visited I chose to sit at the outside bar because it was so cold inside. The brunch menu was small but everything I ordered was delicious. Makes me want to come back on a regular day to eat. Not to mention the location is perfectly situated in McDonough Square. read more

Destiny was absolutely amazing tonight! She was super helpful, genuinely funny, and made the whole experience even better. Her energy was on point, and she was great for business--she upsold us on drinks and sides in a way that felt natural and fun, not pushy at all. You can tell she really knows what she's doing and cares about the guest experience. We'll definitely be back and hope to have her again! read more

Great spot for happy hour and date night on a Friday. The DJ and music was fantastic, the drinks are stiff and tasty and the servers were very accommodating despite the outside area being packed!! read more

I am writing to express my disappointment with the service my family and I received during our recent visit. There were six of us in our party, and my husband and I both ordered the Southern Turkey Leg. When my meal arrived, I had to wait approximately 4-5 minutes to get silverware after locating our server. Shortly afterward, the rest of our table received their meals--except for my husband. We were told that his food was on the way; however, it did not arrive until everyone else had already finished eating. At that point, my husband declined the meal due to the long delay. When we spoke with the manager/owner, we were told that we had already paid for the meal and that food must be paid for once ordered, even if it is not received. This was confusing, as we had not yet been given the check. The manager stated that he was "not in the business of giving away food," which we found to be quite unprofessional. Although he later offered a 50% discount as an exception, we reiterated that my husband no longer wanted the meal. He then said he would take the food back and remove it from the bill; however, when we reviewed the check, we were still charged for it. This experience was extremely disappointing and did not reflect the level of service we expected. read more

This was my first time visiting. I came in and sat down with my family, and the first thing I ordered was a hookah. I ordered it first because I wanted it before the food. However, after waiting over 30 minutes, I still had not received it. During that time, I noticed the hookah attendant talking with people at the bar and on her phone instead of preparing my hookah. The restaurant was not crowded. read more

Small but fun. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food. The manager Whitney is awesome and will definitely make sure you have a great experience. This is a spot I will definitely venture to again. read more

Some ladies and I decided to go to 1942 for ladies night on a Saturday. The vibe was vibing with a band playing ole school hits. Everyone was super nice and helpful. But the cocktails were overpriced and not that good. The tequila flight was the best of all the drinks. The top shelf margaritas taste like juice, the chocolate martini was too sweet and we could barely taste any liquor. I was very disappointed in the cocktails. The food was pretty good. We had fried ribs, fried chicken, fried zucchini and French fries. I really wish the drinks were better this would be a nice place to go on a Friday or Saturday night. read more

I'm not sure why the reviews for this place are not up to par, but DONT believe it : everything was great, from the Caesar salad (which is easy to mess up, believe it or not) , to the appetizers, to the monster of a turkey leg!!! Everything was AMAZING. I had very low expectations but they did not disappoint. I will be coming back. Also, there is a nice private room in the restaurant that you can book for intimate events . Don't miss out on this place ! read more

Date night here was festive to a point, because of the outside crowd and live music. Inside was way more reserved due to it being nearly empty, which suited my date. The drinks weren't very strong, but my salmon sandwich was mouthwatering, and the appetizer, fried ribs, could get another go from me. The Philly steak baked potato deserves a delicious mention, even though I ate it the following day at work. Alas, the house salad was cheap on the tomatoes, and my date said her lamb chops weren't seasoned enough. Adding the accommodating service and great atmosphere put it at a solid 4. I plan on returning. read more

We had a group of 4 and planned to have an early dinner, but when we saw how slow it would be, we ended up leaving. When we got there, we were not immediately seated, but they were not busy at all. We had to wait outside in the heat as they were moving tables from the inside to the outside for an event later that night. Once we got seated, it took a while for our server to come and take our drink orders. We finally got our drinks and decided we would just finish those and go elsewhere to eat because we knew we would be waiting a long time. read more

Yeah this is a hit or miss. We went during happy hour and my friend ordered a jack and coke which is $5 but she sub her coke for a sprite and was charged $9. They nickel and dime you. I asked for another ranch and that was a extra cost. People think it's only outside seating but they do have a space in the inside. read more

An unfortunate disappointment. Pros - hostess, waitress, ambience Cons - food In the area to visit family and look for a home. O Our daughter found this place on TikTok so we figured we'd check it out. Came specifically for the turkey leg dinner and they didn't have it. Actually half the menu was unavailable. After two of the meals I wanted to try were not available I wanted to leave but the family was hungry. Always go with your gut. The deviled eggs, wings, and grouper were ok. Nothing to write home about or be excited to come back for. The fried ribs were ok, glass i they had bbq sauce to top them. They were crispy and tender though. I ended up getting the appetizer for my meal. The fries were cold/dry/unseasoned. The mash potatoes, broccoli, Mac n cheese were cold and also not seasoned well. Unfortunately tasted boxed and frozen. Although our daughter didn't eat the broccoli and took maybe two scoops of the mash potatoes and macaroni they denied taking them off our receipt. Frozen drinks were also unavailable because the machine didn't work. The hostess, our waitress Ashanti, and the young lady that brought our food were very polite and working hard. Unfortunately our waitress had 90% if not more of the tables inside and out. Yet, she did the best she could with a smile. There was one other waitress that we noticed and two other young ladies passing out the hookahs, which our waitress also did. Her work ethic was on point. At one point I noticed she took two table orders and our refill request by memory with no mistakes. Definitely good at what she does. 1942 on the square gets two stars 1 for Ashanti, the hostess (sorry I forgot her name) & the food runner. The other star is for the ambience. We likely will not visit this location again. Hopefully, management will see this and take head to the other complaints from Sunday night. We heard one table complain and saw a few others. I believe I saw there was another location in Stockbridge. Possibly may give that one a try at some point. Best regards read more

Fathers Day outing was a huge disappointment.. Collatd greens was out of the can and very aged . Mac and cheese was straight out of the box .. took 30 mins just for a simple glass of wine . Oh yeah they charge a huge amount of gratuity as well .. read more

e for breakfast on a Saturday. The food is good and freshly prepared. A lot of other stuff took away from the meal: We came for brunch but there needs to be better communication between the staff outside and the staff inside. Some of our guests came but could not get the person on the outside to understand that we were inside. He was ignoring them telling them that we may be at the Stockbridge location? We were sitting inside watch this unfold out the window. I had to send someone outside to show my guests to the table. Also some of the servers speak too loud. Maybe turn the music down? I think it's too loud for a restaurant. We tried at first but soon had to talk really loud to hear each other. Not everyone wants to listen to loud music as they eat. Also had trouble with the WiFi? Maybe you don't have it anymore? read more

The turkey wings here are absolutely phenomenal! I make it a point to visit at least once a month because it feels so safe and welcoming. If I had one piece of advice, though, it would be for the waitresses to brighten up a bit--smiling goes a long way! Still, I can't complain because the service is consistently top-notch. read more

Awful experience!! Waited over an hour after they had taken my ordered to be told it would be longer than 15 more minutes. Who does this to their customers. I was told because they had a large party they put a pause on the kitchen for other orders. I asked why I was not informed because I could have went somewhere else after all it was my birthday!!! read more

Arrived on a Friday afternoon for lunch. The hostess took her time seating our party. The restaurant wasn't crowded only two other parties. The restaurant was very clean and sanitized.

We sat outside which is beautiful and comfortable. read more

They charged me $15 for a half shot of tequila. Half shot, it shocked me to look at the amount in the bottom of this glass. They are overcharging people for a half shot of drink.

Let's start by saying I usually go to the one in Stockbridge so I was excited when they opened in Mcdonough. This establishment needs to work on a lot of things. Service and food - hit or miss. The waitresses are nice, so no complaints about them. The food is saltyyyyy! The quality has gone down just since it opened. The prices are ridiculous for what you get. I won't even go into the drinks. I understand everything has gone up but if you are charging you should be delivering. I love the fact that they have a dj and are trying to bring a lounge to the square but they need to do better! I am disappointed and they don't seem to listen to their customers. Update: went again 7/2 and the food was much better. The waitress was great as always. Hopefully this continues! I want to continue to go because it is so close to my house. read more

The location was fantastic, decor was quaint and the wait staff truly delightful. I wish I could say the same for the food, but unfortunately, I can't. My first letdown was the extended breakfast hours until 3 PM--who really wants breakfast after 1:30? The grits were quite bland, and the meal itself was just a very basic breakfast, something you could easily whip up at home in no time. Perhaps the dinner is better. The menu looks great for dinner. You can be the judge. Oh free parking on the weekends which is another treat. read more

The ONLY 2 positive comments that I can give is: 1. The food was decent 2. The ice was cold *We were told by the manager on duty, (MARIE) that the reason our service sucked is because someone else paid more!! BTW, We rented a cabana!! They did NOT!!!! So to sum it up in words, WE, as 40+ year old WOMEN, were told to Our faces, that WE aren't worth excellent, good or even mediocre service!! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK!!! read more
