Oh yeahhhhhhhhh. My bestfriend threw my 40th at Apache and everyone had a blast. As I am a self proclaimed Taco Tuesday Enthusiast, can you guess what day he threw my party on??? lol! The venue was super easy to find as it sits right on the strip. There is a paid parking lot across the street as well as there are a few spots on the street if you don't mind walking a block or so. Walking in, the ambiance is very homely. It has a cozy vibe with the dim lighting and oversized couches. The bar is vibrant and definitely an eye catcher in each of the rooms. The room you walk into has a kickback type of feel while the main room has the restaurant feel on one side and a classic mini speakeasy feel on the other side. The service itself is standard for a bar environment and the DJ was def on 1000. As I arrived hungry I was excited to order. lol. I opted to get two beef tacos and two jerk chicken tacos. Babeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. When I say yesssssssssssssss. I mean YESSSSSSSSSSS. These tacos were the bombbbbbbbbbbb. Freshly made, my tacos arrived hot and meaty. The fixings were fresh and balanced the meat to shell ratio without being too much. The flavor profiles were robust and the meat was moist. These tacos were done righttttttt and hit the spot. Now, I was told that the Taco Tuesday had a food vendor who made the food so I can't speak to the food made by the venue cooks, however, for taco Tuesday... I'll be back bi-weekly. The Vibe is a go. The Tacos are a go. The Fun is a GO!!!

The service was amazing the music was a little loud. Many idiots left while we were sitting due to, my guess is they may were thrown off by the live saxophone playing. But they missed out on a 1 of a kind experience and the best food you could imagine. My daughter and I both ordered chicken & waffles, my wife ordered Hong Kong French Toast with a side of bacon. The chicken was breaded perfectly and seasoned throughout. The waffle was perfect, crunch on the outside and soft inside. My wife said her Hong Kong french toast was a combination of brownie and french toast and was amazing as was the bacon.

Food was amazing! We loved the service! Such a great vibe! Thanks to our server Harry and the cook Barbara everything was excellent!

I was extremely excited to visit ApacheXLR because I loved the original Apache and anticipated a similar experience. I was in for a rude awakening. My sister was in town from Dallas and we were looking for a vibe like a nice jazz spot something low key, so we had 3 options on the table a hotel rooftop, Italian restaurant jazz set or Apache. It was 5 of us going so Apache won and was the location we decided on. We looked at the website it said it was $10 advanced admission(via eventbrite) or $15 cash at the door, and 3 best options for parking was in the gravel parking lot across the street, if lot is full park 1 block up or on the street. Table reservations are suggested, however not necessary and only available for purchase online. We were going to get a table of course, which was $78 and did not include admission price. Paid for the table in advance not a problem, we were so excited to get our Sunday vibe on at this point. Location check, table reserved check, cute outfits and hair done check, we was ready! Get to the location and per website we went to park in one of the 3 best parking options (per their website), which was across the street in the gravel parking lot, told it was $20 for parking, now why is that not simply stated on the website? There were 2 lots across the street the one with gravel($20) and one paved with security($10-$15). I didn't understand why paid parking wasn't mentioned at all. We paid the parking fee and just decided to let it go at this point we were going in to have a great time and wasn't going to let that little miscommunication from their website bother us. We arrived around 8:15, doors opened at 8pm and as stated on their website if you weren't there by specified time your table was subject to be given away with no refunds. We go inside and greeted promptly, then was told the entry fee was now $20. Yes, of course we asked for Management at this point and were told they weren't at the venue. Ok, let's just stop right here for a moment. We were at an crossroads moment. Do we continue or turn around? From the information you were given up to this point what would you have done in this moment? Well, we chose to stay it was JUST $5 more dollars...right? We are seated at a booth table by the window, it was a nice space, art on the wall, great lighting, stage was in a good location as well. We were determined to have a great experience in spite of all the little hiccups on the venue's part. Our waitress arrives, great energy and positive disposition, she asked us for our drink order. We all asked for glasses of wine, she said we don't serve wine. Wine? Wait what? Were we being too fancy? Are you kidding me, so we should have looked at their drink menu on their website before deciding to come to this location. Honestly, who does that? Definitely looked at the food menu, didn't think about the drinks, everyone serves wine, right...wrong! Ok, we look at the drink menu and choose Lemon Drops $13 , we essentially ordered lemon water with a dash of vodka definitely a disappointment. I decided to get a cider(sold out) then chose a Miller High Life(sold out) at this point I was done. Waitress apologized and said they had a big party the night before and they were out of several items. Which is understandable. However, this whole experience was adding up to be a very unpleasant experience and we were still an hour from the show even starting. So, we were again at a crossroads moment, at this point what would you have done? Yep, you guessed it, we left. Money wasted, experience forever tarnished, and this review now written.

Apache XLR = Xtra Lame Revue My guy and I went for a night of erotic soul. The advertisement stated a BDSM demonstration that never happened (or at least not by 12:30am when we gave up and left.) The show didn't run smoothly. There was sooo much wrong. The DJ played good music but it wasn't sexy, erotic music so we never got into the "erotic soul" mood. Also, people walked in front of the stage while people were performing, and that was very distracting. Since when is walking in front of the stage okay? There were really long breaks (like 10-15 min) between acts. By the time a new act came on, they would struggle to engage the audience. That being said, there were some good poets, musicians and singers. And there were some kooks. One girl lip-synced her songs not very well and performed like she had Tourette's. The food was MID. Eat before you come. And the drinks were weak so pre-game. The menu had a notice that drinks were what they were so if you wanted something different to order a shot. A venue stating that their drinks are kool-aid is wild. The new Atlanta vibe is mediocre. Old Atlanta would never entertain such lackluster talents. And we paid $20 for parking. Never again. Never ever. At Apache on 3rd I always had a good time and loved the vibe of the crowd and the performers. But I never have to experience Apache XLR again. I loved the flowers on the ceiling though!

I was very impressed with this restaurant. We wanted to go to The Breakfast Club but they had over an hour wait and were glad we decided to give ApacheXLR a try. Everything was so good! The staff was very nice and attentive making sure we had everything we needed without being pushy. I had the French toast which was recommended by our server and it was the best french toast I've had. Not sweet but not too sweet without any syrup. Crunchy on the outside but still moist with the cream. I also got a side of potatoes which were to die for. Super crunchy and well seasoned. We're talking about coming back for breakfast tomorrow!

Spinach & bacon omelet, potatoes & waffle.

In town for FIFA Club World Cup, enjoyed brunch at ApacheXLR today for Father's Day with my family - it was delicious & the service was fantastic. No wait to sit and not a long wait at all for our food, unlike other locations in the vicinity. Avocado Toast was so good - waffles were served with fresh strawberries. The music was great including live saxophonist .

Me and my family visited from out of town. The vibe was okay and the server was nice. We were the only ones in there and it took us a while to get our food. The fish and grits were not good, not sure where they got the fish from but it was like frozen grocery store fish. Two of us ordered the fish and grits and we both were disgusted. I asked to change my order and was told that I couldn't, which was fine, however try to assist the customer in some kind of way. My cousin liked the avocado toast.

went here for brunch, it was fairly close to our hotel and we were able to make a reservation for 11:30. We were a little late but we were seated immediately. Love the aesthetic as well as the art. We were seated and greeted by our waitress with an amazing Afro! We ordered the chicken and waffles and the fish and grits. The food was good besides a few minor details. So the chicken and waffles were good but the chicken was slightly over cooked. Also my fish and grits was appetizing but I was definitely confused on the fact that my fish was fried in chicken batter. It was slightly confusing for I am a person that was expecting my fish to actually look like fish instead of the chicken the other person got. Overall it was a solid experience. read more

What an unexpected treat this was for my husband and I for Sunday brunch. From start to finish, it was great. Drinks: excellent Bloody Mary with the perfect amount of kick. Food: fish and grits. Y'all. The gravy. A must order! The waffles are delicious and their take on French toast is so unique. Crispy on the outside and *just* underdone on the inside. Chef's kiss good. Atmosphere: exposed brick, local art, and great background music. Very eclectic, warm, and vibrant. Staff: attentive, so friendly, and they thought I looked like a young Heidi Klum so yeah, I'm a fan. Put this on your visit list...we plan to be back for the live music and events. read more

We came for a Saturday brunch at opening(10am) and had made reservations, which on that day were not necessary but are definitely recommended. The service was great. Our server was very helpful. The art on the walls is fabulous and the food was too! The menu had so many tasty sounding choices we couldn't decide, so we each got something different to share. The chiaquiles were solid, the waffles were light and fluffy ( group favorite), and the fried chicken was great with a little maple syrup in the batter. The breakfast potatoes were a hit, too. All the eggs were cooked correctly, i.e., over easy, etc. The Bloody Mary's were very flavorful, and the coffee was good. The salmon & Mac & cheese came out separately, but we mixed them together, and it was so flavorful. read more

Excellent service. Excellent food. You MUST eat here for brunch. We had joined the waitlist at another breakfast spot near by but after nearly 90 minutes of waiting (after we were told it would be an hour) we found this gem! Chicken and waffles was phenomenal as was the Hong Kong French toast. It was so good and the service was so amazing that we made reservations to eat there again the next morning. Already dreaming about the chicken and waffles! read more

A HORRIBLE brunch experience, after having to wait 15 minutes I was able to place an order at the bar, for drink I was served a horrible, pre-mix made bloody mary, and after having to wait over 45 minutes in an empty restaurant the food was brought to me at which point I had already asked the staff to cancel my order, not only was the shift manager super rude and arguing, they wouldn't cancel or take back the order they also insisted that I pay full price of the food I had not consumed PLUS 18% GRATUITY. Being a local and a neighbor I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST THE RESTAURANT! read more

Actually found this spot on Yelp for a Saturday brunch. We were visiting Atlanta for a concert, and waiting for our time slot for the Coca Cola museum. ApcheXLR is a 10 minute (tops) walk from the Aquarium/Coca Cola venues. It's a small spot and it looked like all the tables were not occupied not because of a shortage of customers, but staff. Although we snagged a reservation on Yelp, we had to wait 5-10 minutes longer until a table opened up. The hostess and our waitress were VERY friendly. All the food being served looked AMAZING and it was hard to make a choice. My hubby and I both ordered the "All Apache" and not only was it delicious, but soooooo much food. The coffee was a coffee lovers dream, except that it was served in a paper cup. Please get mugs to keep it warm and reduce waste. read more

I visited Apache XLR last Sunday for my birthday brunch. My fiancé made reservations for us weeks in advance. Although, we were running a little late for our reservations, they were very accommodating. Once we arrived, we were seated by the hostess and greeted by our waiter, Duke. I thought there was live music on Sundays, but he said it was only on Saturdays. However, they did have a R&B playlist playing, which was good. We started off by ordering drinks, which we ordered a Hennessy margarita and a spicy pineapple margarita. The drinks were decent, but I wasn't a fan of them being pre-mixed. For entrees, we ordered the chicken and waffles and the French toast (half order) with a side of boneless fried chicken breast. The French toast and the waffle was good, but the chicken could have been cleaner. There was a lot of yellow fat still on the chicken, which made it inedible for us to eat and enjoy it. Also, when my fiancé made the reservations and prior to going to the restaurant, he let them know it was my birthday. They said they do something for special occasions (i.e. bring out a cupcake with sparklers), but it didn't happen for me. When he inquired, Duke said the chef was already gone. Duke did bring me a birthday drink, but I think that's a detail that should have been remembered without having to remind the restaurant, especially when you've made them aware prior to during the reservation and called the day of. Overall, Apache XLR was okay, but there are some kinks that need to be worked out. read more

Pro: most of the food was very good- the mac-n-cheese left something to be desired. Cons: we were not seated on time due to what appeared to be the staff was not ready (set-up). The show did not start on time but ended early, cramped seating, service was slow. Only a few very good ( worth the money) performers. It is very annoying to have people across the room recording video with a light constantly in your face, it made it hard to enjoy the performers. IMO, only go for the food. read more

I'm giving Apache five stars for the yummy food, but ALSO their amazing hospitality! I was in Atlanta for business, so my schedule did not afford me to eat a meal while watching a live music set. Myself and two colleagues walked to the restaurant from our hotel at the exact hour and minute Google said they were open. The restaurant was empty, but the staff were ready for us and created us warmly! I unfortunately can't remember the person's name who served us but she went above and beyond in making recommendations and sharing about the uniqueness of the menu. One of the chefs from the kitchen even came out to see if we were pleased with our selections! I enjoyed the fried catfish with purple grits, and never had catfish battered and fried the way the way they prepared it! It was crispy like buttermilk fried chicken! And I completely devoured their Brussels sprouts!! I like Brussels but they can often be a hit or miss for me, but not these!! Definitely hit up Apache, show them some love and experience them love you right back! read more

Found Apache when we tried going to the popular Atlanta Breakfast Club. The insane wait at ABC had us look for another option and Apache was just about to open for brunch so we tried it. We were the first ones to arrive and sat in a beautifully painted room by a local artist. Our waitress was friendly and service was good. The food options had us excited and did not disappoint. I had the lamb Benedict and it was one of the beat Benedict options I've ever had. My girlfriends chicken and waffles were amazing (claiming they were the best she ever had as well). This spot deserves a chance and should be considered a top brunch spot around downtown. read more

History

Established in 2001.

The owners opened Apache Café for lunch at 11:00am on Monday April 9th 2001. Having spent the entire night awake in order to finish café recipes, they served just one table that day. With borrowed art on the walls and jazz music in the background they dreamed to create a place of creative freedom where great music, delicious food, and bold art could live. Open seven nights a week and serving a diverse group of patrons, Apache Café offers an intimate café, gallery, and venue with exposed brick walls and a loft-like style. As a restaurant café, Apache serves house made southwestern, Latin, and Caribbean inspired fare along with a full premium spirits bar, coffee bar, and dessert menu. As a gallery, you view artwork from a wide range of local and visiting traveling artists. As a venue, you will find presentations on everything from think-tank type discussion forums to world-class music ensembles. Come join us today!

Meet the Manager: Ray G.

Ray has over 10 years experience in hospitality, management, food and beverage, and event programming. She is focused on making sure your experience is great.

Is there live music on Saturday's for brunch?

There wasn't when I was there on a Saturday afternoon a few months ago, although I did enjoy the soundtrack on the speakers. I can't remember for sure if I saw musicians setting up or leaving as we arrived or left.

Does this place accept Apple Pay?

yes they do!

What's the vibe like for Friday/Saturday? Dress attire?

You can dress down in something comfortable or dress up if you'll like. It's not a dress code and you can always come as you are no matter what day you go.

How can a table be pre- purchased for a group? The eventbrite only gives option for seating of 2. What's the minimum guest have to spend at table?

You may want to call first, because the tables usually go fast. If you get there early you can get a table of 4, and I don't think there is a minimum. I've never had to pay a minimum and I've been going there over 5 years now.

What's the best night for dancing?

Honestly I don't think this is a dance type place. I don't recall seeing a dance floor. But if you like live rnb and soul Wednesday is a great night to go.

Title: Flavor Explosion, Soulful Hospitality & a Last-Minute Meal That Turned Magical…read more Let me just say this: what started as a "quick bite before closing" turned into one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in a long time. We arrived at The Poach Social about 20 minutes before closing, unsure if we'd be rushed--but instead, we were welcomed with warmth and ease. Lived the ambiance. Hunter, our server, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. She made us feel taken care of from the very start. Then came Victor, the owner and chef--and this is where things shifted from good to special. Without us even asking, he recommended a mocktail that felt like it was made just for me: a sorrel-based drink layered with ginger, spice, herbs, and fresh fruit. It was refreshing, balanced, and honestly one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I've had. We started with the jerk egg rolls... and I'm not exaggerating when I say we were clapping after the first bite. Crispy, juicy, flavorful, with a sweet-spicy sauce that just worked. We immediately knew we'd be taking more to go. For the main course, we ordered the Poach Social breakfast plate and the blackened salmon with polenta. The breakfast plate was comforting and well-executed, but the salmon dish? Absolutely unforgettable. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth texture, with creamy polenta and a rich sauce that brought everything together. It was a full-on flavor experience. The timing of everything--from drinks to apps to entrées--was seamless. Hunter checked in at the perfect moments, never too much, never too little. We ended up in a lovely conversation with Victor, who is not only talented but genuinely kind and passionate. He brought us complimentary slices of carrot cake, and even though we were already full... we ate every bite. No regrets. It was phenomenal. What I loved most is that this place doesn't just serve food--it creates an experience. There's intention, care, and heart behind everything. If you're in Atlanta, do yourself a favor and go. This place deserves to thrive. We will absolutely be back.

The food was very good, but it did take a little time. I believe because it's a scratch kitchen. It was worth the wait. Our servers name was Langston and he took really good care of us. He made sure to check on us and explain the menu as well. Our drinks did take a lot more time to get to the table. It's a cute and trendy place, but the only thing I would change was the placing of tables because when people are passing by, it was very difficult. If someone was in a wheelchair, it could be a problem getting into the tight spaces. The last thing would also be drink order is coming out in a timely manner. Overall, service was great and food was very good.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here.

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

Flavor‑wise, the food lands right between authentic Mexican and Tex‑Mex -- not trying too hard to be either, just doing its own thing. Fish Taco -- 9.2/10 Super solid. Fresh, well‑seasoned, and even better after I adjusted the garnishes to my liking. Chile Relleno -- 7/10 They use a four‑cheese blend, which was a bit overwhelming for me, and the batter was on the harder side. Still enjoyable, just different from the traditional style. Chips & Salsa -- 9.5/10 (11/10 with the spicy add‑on!) Do yourself a favor and ask for the habanero crisps on the side. Mix those in and it becomes elite. Red Velvet Cheesecake -- 8.5/10 Rich, decadent, and a must if you've got a sweet tooth. And I have to shout out Charlie, who was holding down the entire café by herself.

My roommate and I attended the Open Mic Poetry night on Sun., Dec. 1. We arrived promptly at 7. The $7 cover charge was not too bad, but they only take cash at the door. (They do have an ATM, though.) The ambiance was a nice,cozy bluesy feel with the exposed brick walls and low tables and lighting. Our server was nice but not very attentive. She never offered us drink refills. We had to try to get her attention (as politely as possible. I realize she was busy) to even get another beer/rum runner or appetizer. The mixed drinks are good, though! Props to the bar tender! The parking situation was interesting. We tried to park in the adjacent pay-to-park lot, but a dude (carrying a large hedge-trimmer, randomly enough) ran after us, waving a large hedge-trimmer. He then asked us not to park there and that parking in the alleyway was free on Sundays. A slightly frightening interaction, but helpful nonetheless. Unfortunately, the poetry did not start until 9:30 (2.5 hours after we had arrived). Most people ate dinner there. We were first-timers, so we thought it was more of a bar than a restaurant. The plantains were great, though, and reasonably priced, too! The fries, however, sucked. Tasted like frozen dollar store fare. We tried to order hummus but they were out. Sad. The lady next to us said it's her favorite appetizer there. The poetry was enjoyable. Some acts were good; others not so good. Such is the nature of Open Mic night, I suppose. It seems like most of the speakers were regulars though. The restroom situation was interesting---NOT in a good way. 3 single, dirty stalls for the whole place. So, plan your lavatory stops in advance (for girls, anyway. There was never a line in front of the men's stall. haha) and bring hand sanitizer. Also, there was a manually rotating art display during the poetry recitations, which was cool. I wish they had told us more about the artist(s), though. In closing, even though it is definitely NOT culturally diverse, I'd totally go back because we enjoyed our time! read more

Apache in Atlanta delivered a memorable dining experience with a cool vibe and incredible talent all around. I ordered the fried pork chops with spinach and mashed potatoes, and let me tell you--the chops were seasoned to absolute perfection. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes, although unfortunately cold, still had good flavor. The spinach balanced the dish nicely. Drinks were solid, though it did take a while--nearly 30 minutes--for my Red Bull to arrive. Service overall was just okay, but not a deal breaker. The atmosphere more than made up for it, with great live entertainment and a chill energy that's hard to find elsewhere. They also offer a military discount, which I greatly appreciate and salute. One suggestion: the seating could be more comfortable, but that could just be my body talking. Overall, I'll definitely be back. Apache gets my respect for flavor, vibe, and honoring service members. Keep doing what you're doing! read more

We stumbled upon this place for brunch when the popular place down the street had a two hour wait. And we are SO happy we did. This is a unique spot with a beautiful wall mural and chandeliers in the dining area with tons of natural light. I would recommend sitting here and not in the bar area/ Perfect brunch vibes. I ordered the chicken and waffles and they were phenomenal. The waffles were crispy enough on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. My boyfriend ordered the lamb chop eggs Benedict and he loved it! Don't miss the chance to have an awesome brunch here if you are in the area. You won't regret it. read more

Apache used to be a staple in Atalanta, now it's a gimmick. Don't come expecting the artistry of Old atl. It's just about money. Cover charge, plus money to sing up for what is supposedly called "open mic". Why I'm the world would anyone pay $50 just to preform at an open mic night event. Honestly this place is disrespectful to the original Apache and should change its name. Apache used to be a place to catch a vibe now mostly it's trap and rap hasn't been a vibe the whole night. Just a bunch of unsigned rapper trying to "make it". Completely disrespectful to the legacy that was Apache. read more

My girlfriend and I went there just to order some jerk wings, and we were told that we had to pay a 7.00 cover charge each even tho we didn't want to go pass the entrance. Then the bartender had a nasty attitude and told me I couldn't order flats only, which is a lie because I've ordered flats only before. I was just given a bad vibe from them both.. It was Art Mondays 10/27/14 and honestly if the lady wasn't so rude at the door, we may have stayed. As a place of business, you can't treat people a certain way. We were pleasant even tho they had bad attitudes. #disappointed read more

The Bar Exam goes down tonight and every 3rd or 4th Friday at Apache Cafe. The Bar Exam is Atlanta's definitive open-mic, talent competition and showcase I host events regularly at Apache Cafe (The Bar Exam, Sound & Lyrics) and what i love most about Apache is the diversity of people that attend the events and the positive and enthusiastic energy that i get from the artist i meet.
