A very unique place. The food and service were good. However, they are a bit stubborn and illogical about their seating rules. 5 of the 6 of us were there and they would not seat us until the 6th got there. I would understand if it was busy and only 2 or 3 of us were there. Most of their tables in the restaurant seat 6. Had we just said 5, they would have sat us and the 6th could have just joined when they got there. So much for common sense. read more

Great atmosphere, great food! Try their fried pickles, you won't be disappointed! Definitely going to make this a routine visit!

Food was good!!! The atmosphere was amazing and just an overall good experience!!! Deff will be back!

Food was cold and subpar waited over an hour for it. Did not eat any of it and the waitress and manager said we had to pay for it. Will not be coming back read more

I have to say I was impressed by this cute place with tons of character. I was greeted upon entering and snagged a seat at the bar. I enjoyed a cold $3.5 and a Pesto Chicken Bowl $12. The entree took a few minutes to arrive, but so worth the wait. Very fresh, hot, & packed with flavor‼. I'll be back ...(terminator voice;) read more

Ate Track - Pesto Chicken Bowl $12...delicious and filling‼ - New American Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

The food is always awesome and wait staff are always super friendly! I love the vibe of the restaurant too! If you're stuck in the 80s, this is the place to go. Not suitable for children however, music is loud and it can be crowded at times. But great for a date night or quick bite! read more

I LOVE this bar! All the hits from my college days played loudly over a great sound system. It sounds really loud at 1st... but seriously, I can't wait to go back but I'm 60 miles from home!! I had a veggie bowl & the hubs hD a portobello sandwich! Both AMAZING!! Park fries 1st were only OK... too many & too salty!! Have to go back tonight after our concert! read more

I had the shrimp and salmon special a few days ago. It came with jalapeño grits and was one of the best meals I ever had.

When your customers cannot even hear themselves over the music and you ask nicely if they can turn down the music a little bit, but they proceed to turn it up, that is extremely disrespectful and not a good way to treat paying patrons. Honestly, the servers were very sweet, and the food was good, but I was not impressed with such an immature response. read more

Met friends at Ate Track for dinner tonight at 5:30. We were a party of 6 adults, but 1 was stuck in traffic. We were asked if all our party was there and we said missing 1. They replied they would seat us once everyone was there. We could wait in the bar area. Now, mind you, 5 adults were there, one side of restaurant was closed off and there were only 2 seats available at the bar. The tables on the whole side of the bar were EMPTY. Not a person around except those 5 or 6 at the bar. We were not allowed to sit but were welcome to stand and drink. Again, the restaurant was empty of diners and NOT ONE PERSON WAITING FOR A TABLE. Also, the 5-6 staff were just hanging around at the front door. Someone could have made $ if we were allowed to sit and have drinks and appetizers while we waited for the "1" person to complete our party. Seriously....I could understand this "rule" if the restaurant were full and people waiting to get in but there was NOT a soul eating......empty....So not only did the bar tender miss out on tips, but the lucky waitress that would have served us (party of 6) would have made good $$$.....I felt sorry for those girls who could not seat us until everyone was there.....they all missed out...what a waste of their time and ours with a bone head "rule"....we left.....and were immediately welcomed at another restaurant where they were happy to help and we were happy to help those hard working staff with nice tips for their efforts. I had to pick a "star" before I was able to post, otherwise it would have been a big fat zero for the bone head running this place. You should at least think about your staff and their time and efforts. Also, by the way, the manager wasn't there because he went to the other boneheads restaurant. read more

I thought there was no way the reviews were right. "The owner is crazy. He's a jerk! Etc." Just watched the owner try to fight a 17 year old and then push his mother. Ol boy is out of f-ing control. The wait staff is so used to it they were immediately apologizing. God bless those waiters and cooks! They made excellent food but the owner wants to fight a 17 year old for sitting 6 inches over some imaginary line on the patio. Hey owner, don't put a table on the sidewalk! Btw .... We were a party of 23 and easily spent $800. He's eventually going to ruin a good thing. read more

I wouldn't return. The food was mediocre and service wasn't much better.. Maybe the owners should try another industry to work in.

I wanted to like it. However, the service was slow, the food came out cold, the seating was uncomfortable to anyone under 5'4", and the owners are racist. I had a burger that left me feeling sick for days afterward. Glad that they don't want "liberals" because I won't be back. read more

Great service and fun atmosphere. Just get there before 8:30. They do close early with the rest of downtown during the week.

This is a bar disguised as a restaurant. We brought our kids here for dinner but the music was so loud you couldn't here the people across the table from each other. I ordered the chicken tacos and the chicken was so dry and burnt. My daughter had a burger that was way over cooked. My husband had a steak & cheese sandwich and the price ended up being $19 for mediocre at best. The menu doesn't list prices...over half of it say MKT in place of a price. He could have ordered a steak dinner elsewhere for $19. His beer was also flat. The waitress was nice but seemed unable to remember to bring a glass of water we requested. We will not be returning. read more

Good menu selection but better ambiance! Takes you back to the 70's with the music and TV shows playing. Decorations are fantastic!

Got a bar w/ welcome back kotter on TV you can't hear vs. broadcasting Sports & Mgr who is in the kitchen won't allow the staff to change the channel. You think he's a control freak?? Ha-Ha! Staff nice. Tacos good. Homemade chips Super Greasy! (Think they just gave me the greasy Ones due to asking about the TV) Others didn't look that way. read more

Worst service ever!! Save your money and go to Mellow Mushroom. Not worth putting up with the bitchy service or the shitty food. read more

My martini was so radioactive and i couldn't taste any alcohol in it food was okay. i don't have much to say, but yelp won't let me post a review unless i type out a novel so yep... read more

We visited this bar/restaurant after finding it on Yelp. It was very busy when we got there but the wait wasn't too long. Great atmosphere, plenty to look at with all the funky decor. Food was OUTSTANDING!!!!! The music was a little loud, my waitress couldn't hear me!! But on the whole a good experience and I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Ate Track - Chicken Pesto Bowl. - New American Near Me - Cartersville, Georgia

Can't recommend. Went with some friends for the first time and was ready for a good experience when I walked in. Sometimes a lot of kitsch is a good sign. Got seated right away. This was a first for me. I've seen certain foods on menus going for "Market Price", but never burgers. Ordered the chipotle chili cheeseburger. Although it was cooked the way I requested, the rest fell flat. Lacked basic seasoning and if there was chili on there, I didn't see or taste any. While the sweet potato fries were good, they weren't good enough to save the day. Very slow service despite not being busy at all. The server was okay...when I saw her. Overpriced for an experience they're trying to deliver but are missing the target. Overall a "meh" experience. Go elsewhere. read more

Always trying to find new a new while we have days off...and found this place on Yelp. WOW. Great atmosphere. Spent the whole time looking at all the neat stuff. Took us right back to the 70's when we first met. The food was really good and we said we HAD to come back to try other items we saw on the menu. Want to bring our "grown" kids to eat here. So much fun. read more

Ate Track is my favorite local Cartersville spot. I go for the music and vibe (70's music) but the food is worth a visit. I always get the chicken sandwich or the fish tacos. Worth the drive if you are from out of town. read more

This place is a local favorite and has excellent variety for an American theme bar. The ate track nachos are super tasty but beware of overindulging, as they can be quite heavy on the stomach and intestines ;) The burgers are excellent, and I highly recommend just the straight up Ate track burger. Their fish and chips is one of my favorites as well. They have some cool signature cocktails on the menu but also have a full bar for whatever you might like. Nice outdoor seating (although limited on a busy day) that has water misting fans for those hot Georgia summer days. My wife and I would probably come here more often if it weren't for the music being too loud inside. Sometimes it's ok but we've gone too many times now where it's so loud you have a hard time hearing the person right next to you. Because of this we usually just skip it as a choice for dinner. If it's a nice day we'll consider going and eating outside however. It's a shame that whoever runs this place doesn't understand that people want to be able to have a conversation while they eat. The decor is super cool, truly makes you feel like you're in a 1970's basement or den with records and memorabilia everywhere. Also the massive collection of vintage stereos is pretty impressive. Overall if you're ok with loud environments then this place offers some tasty food. If that's not your thing then there are definitely a couple other choices in Cartersville for traditional American food read more

Dined here twice with my family. It's a pretty small place so it's always fairly busy and almost always a wait. They have really good nachos with chili for appetizer. I had a beet and goat cheese salad and added salmon on top and it was delicious. The second time I went I enjoyed their grilled chicken sandwich which was also good, could have been cooked a bit longer though. The sweet potato fries are delicious and actually have a nice sweet flavor. Some places have bland sweet potato fries but they don't. Also it's an interesting looking placee, they play loud rock music and have vintage decorations throughout. read more

This is a really fun place. So much fun memorabilia to look at in this quirky little restaurant and the food is delish. I had the fried shrimp and homemade parmesan chips and my hubby had the tequila chicken and both were great. The first thing that stood out for me was that the food was seasoned well. So often restaurants lately go light on seasoning and many times you have to add salt because the food is bland but not at Ate Track. This chef knows how to season food! I will be going back so that we can try more of the interesting menu options. Such a great spot! read more

Food is prepared well, nice relaxed atmosphere. Service has always been good. Parking has never been an issue.

Food was great. The atmosphere was super unique and retro. It was a great time. And the staff was friendly and attentive. Not to mention, one of the best turkey sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure to eat. Definitely will return. read more

Atmosphere is great- classic rock themed and music tracks are super. Bayou Salmon Bowl is DEVINE! Compliments to the chef ‍ This place will be 'my place' whenever I'm in Cartersville! read more

Plenty of tables open, but they would not sit me until my friend arrived. I would have ordered a cocktail while I waited. Guess they don't need the extra sale. read more

I am not a fan of establishments vomiting up their political views so this place is dead to me.......music is annoyingly loud and the owner is proud of the fact that he is NOT TURNING IT DOWN! Food is not that bad which is a shame because everything else is horrible. read more

Salmon Tacos are excellent! Flavorful & a good portion. The bartender served us. She was welll informed on the menu, very considerate and friendly. Ambiance was pleasant alobg with decor & music. read more

Retro bar and restaurant. It's like taking a step back in time. Good food and drinks. Friendly staff. The chef often walks around asking how everything was. read more

This was my first time at Ate Track and as soon as I got my first Cocktail and taco I quickly understood having to stand in line to get in. Yummm! We decided to go all out by ordering three different tacos and the grit cake for the table. We also had a Purple Rain, Come Sail Away, Ruby Mule, and a Strawberry Mint Special suggested by Sophia ( Best Waitress Ever)! Every taco was cooked to perfection and we enjoyed every bite! The atmosphere is also an art piece all in itself! So when you drive up and see the line, be patient and come hungry! It's totally WORTH IT!! read more

Everything about this visit (last Saturday, 6/22) was unfortunate. Our waitress seemed grumpy, and like she couldn't care any less about the issues we experienced. I'd like to point out anything that went right during this visit, but unfortunately, there was nothing. Any and every beer we asked for off of the sad beer list provided to us -- they were out of. Everything. My father got the pathetic half-glass bottom-of-the-barrel remainder of the beer he chose, but everything else we asked for? "Oh, we're out of it." I remember dining here a few months ago, and they provided us with a fabulous cocktail menu, and the drink was great. This time? Literally no one in the whole damn place could locate any type of drink menu. When we asked, they simply told us, "we can't find any. We have like, jager and stuff, so we can make you whatever." Nah, I'll stick with the sad beer menu, I guess. I got the fried shrimp platter, but asked for it blackened. The waitress was happy to make that change for me. Woo! Something actually going right. When the meal came, it looked ANYTHING besides appealing. The shrimp was horrendously over-cooked - I could have thrown it at the wall and watched it bounce. It was truly gross. Sweet potato fries were good, though. To top it all off, let's talk about the atmosphere. I really do like the vibe and decor. HOWEVER, every single tv around us was playing some UFC fight. Sweaty, bloody men rolling around on tv while my family was attempting to enjoy the sad meal before us. Really? We can't think of anything more pleasant to put on tv while people are eating? It was incredibly unpleasant. It truly was a shame, and I don't think I'll bother to come back. read more

Great food. The carne asada bowl was so full of flavor. I will make the 1 hour drive anytime. Wonderful friendly staff. Great atmosphere and music. read more

We have eaten at Ate Track several times and the service and food have never disappointed us. Just be careful as the portions for the appetizers are big and by the time the mains come around you could be stuffed. You cannot go wrong with a restaurant that serves PBR and for those of a certain generation, the interior decorations will bring back some great memories. Great food at reasonable prices and even in the Covid era, they take the necessary precautions for their guests. read more

I have ate here many times and the food here is so good. I got this time the chili burger which was perfectly cooked and well thought out. The chili is not too runny and burger had great flavor. Other items besides burgers are good here. You won't be disappointed and wait staff is pretty attentive and accommodating. The prices are little higher than some but your getting better made food so I would highly recommend this place for its food and great nostalgic retro atmosphere read more

One of my Cartersville lunch favorites. The memorabilia on the walls is eclectic and fun to look at and there is always great (loud) music and shows on the TV's. The staff is always kind and prompt to service. The backroom is finally back open so the wait to be seated at lunch has been minimized. I switch back and forth between the various salad offerings and the black bean wrap. The homemade chips offered for a side are incredible. The nachos are generously portioned and will easily feed 3-4 people. Definitely enjoy Ate Track as a go-to lunch spot in downtown Cartersville. read more
