They have more than enough TVs for you to be able to watch almost anywhere you're sitting (outdoor seating doesn't have any TVs for those wondering). The only issue is that the volume from the TV is super low since it seems like their speakers are broken. I had the fried catfish tacos which were pretty good, but may need a tad bit more seasoning for my liking. Overall, this place was such a chill vibe!

The bad: the food is very inconsistent. Sometimes the cook is on point. Sometimes it is way off. Seasoning the same way. You never know what you'll get. Good luck sending something back and asking for a correction... once recently they just over salted and over cooked it after previously giving me something raw and cold (prob the only time of many I ever actually sent it back, but it wasn't edible). It seemed almost vindictive for sending it back, which isn't what you want at all. The ceasar salad, when not over dressed is so fantastic, and the food has so much potential. They do need to devein the shrimp though... overall, I really like the place, but it's too expensive for the inconsistencies.

The food is terrific, the owners are incredible and the staff is phenomenal. We've been going here…read moresince the early 2000s. The first server I had here welcomed me to Atlanta. It was a rainy day and my dad and I had arrived before I started grad school at Ga Tech. Our server was an Electrical Engineering student at Tech. It was appreciated after the typical chaos of moving to a new city that he happened over here my dad and I talking and he shared he went to Tech. Over the 2 decades since, I've brought friends who live here and from outside the city to enjoy the great serving and kitchen staff. My wife and I have been many times including on the restaurant's anniversary night last fall. We are sorry to hear the landlord has decided to raise the rent and sell the property. Heather has been our server multiple times. She was our server tonight as we celebrated my wife's birthday with her parents, aunt and sister. From calamari to the desert platter and entrees in between, the food was incredible. The fried lobster tails are a must. The mouse has been my wife's favorite for years. The one note is Jacob the General Manager needs to learn to trust his servers. At the beginning of the meal I let Heather know despite being a party of 7 to just bring the check to me and I'll settle up with the other guests via Venmo. And, at as we were finishing dessert, Heather came by letting me know the next party for our table was had arrived and could she bring our check. I said yes. While Heather was getting our check ($490 Food & $600+ after tip) the Manager came by telling us we needed to finish up and have our check brought. When I asked the Manager to not make this an unpleasant experience and that coming by after Heather had just communicated the situation and I had agreed she told me I should share this feedback with the General Manager. She, Jacob (GM), and I stood on the front patio where I explained what I'm sharing now: Trust your Servers. He said they were front facing and so the management likes to meet the guests. Having your Manager tell us we need to get our check and leave is not the way to meet your guests. Chef Jack and his wife (the owners) are hospitable and trust and appreciate their staff. Jacob having his Manager micromanage the servers management of tables is nowhere close the focus on service the owners have had for 26 years. I hope that Jacob and the Manager take this as a learning moment that if you hire talented people your trust talented people to bring their talents to their job. Sure it was busy. But, that's why Chef Jack hired the staff he hired. Jacob the GM needs to increase the communication with his talented team instead of using the excuse of being front facing to ever overstep their bounds on the relationship his servers have built with his guests. Heather introduced herself when we sat down. Jacob did not - nor should he have. Heather did a phenomenal job making us feel welcome, have food and drink we enjoyed, and even recognizing my wife's birthday with her favorite desert. And when the time came she handled coordinating bringing the bill and having us free the table so a new group could enjoy an evening at Agave. Jacob and the Manager need to trust their staff more. Micro-management is never a good look for your staff's morale or your guests' impressions. Please go see them for Jan 31st 2026 when they close. The servers are all wonderful as are the owners. And the food is like nothing else in Atlanta. The management simply needs to trust the talented staff from front to back of house with whom they get to work. If they're ever in doubt if a server is either providing the level of service they expect or turning tables at the rate needed to keep pace with reservations then talk to the server. The server needs to own their tables. Management should truly be of service to their staff - and you can only do that with trust and communication. Customers should never know management had a single question if the sever was doing what's needed. Because it's a bad look to come by twice about being the check. Especially when the 2nd time is in between the 1st ask if they could and the server bring the check. Of note, I already had my credit card out so that I could hand it to Heather as soon as she returned with the check. And in front of the manager, I handed Heather my credit card. Everything else was great. But, why rush guests?

They have a ton of outdoor seating and picnic style tables. Order at the counter and then they'll bring food out to you. They have all types of fried seafood and chicken platters and a few cheap beer deals as well. I think it's a fun spot if you're looking to drink with friends and soak up the outdoor vibes, and aren't looking for anything too fancy. It can get pretty loud there. If you have a dog, they have a dog friendly side of the patio.

The staff are friendly for the most part, but I will say when it gets busier, their moods can sometimes come across a little short or annoyed, which I've experienced on a few Saturday visits. The food is consistently a 10 out of 10 aside from the fish. I don't know what it is, but it's just not as flavorful as the shrimp and some of the other items on the menu. I'd personally rate the fried fish about a 6 out of 10. The crowd and overall atmosphere are always great, and it's definitely a kid-friendly environment as well. One thing I would mention is that the bathrooms could use a little more attention during busy times to help keep up with cleanliness.

We came in after 7 on our second stop after our Juneteenth celebrations. There were a few people…read morethere. They had a dj who was good but could use some discernment on changing songs when people are vibing to it, to another song with less tempo and vibes. There seemed to be one server and she was doing it all it seemed poor thing, which equaled to slow service. She was pleasant and did not appear overwhelmed. They didn't have the mixers to make a lemon drop or too much anything I wanted so I didn't order a drink except water. They list liquor on their website so I thought it would be a good place for me and my husband since I don't drink beer but he does. They also list wine. They only had 1 wine available, which was a can of Stella Rosa Black. My husband called it soda lol. It was 5% alcohol, in line with the seltzers they have. I started to get one as they had some flavors I might like but I thought we were hitting another spot and wanted to save my alcohol limit on something I really wanted. I'm not sure if I'll be back to try it though. I ordered the jerk chicken egg rolls. I liked them, my husband not so much. They are not spicy which suited me fine and I asked before ordering them the spice level. The sauce that comes with it really adds the jerk flavor, not spice. They came out piping hot. I would order them again if we returned. This next oops was on me. I saw they had oysters, but didn't check to see if they had raw oysters, which my husband loves. They have a variety of baked oysters and some fried ones. I like them chargrilled so that didn't work for me either. As they say, reading is fundamental. Had I done my homework we probably wouldn't have stopped in last night. But I wanted to support black owned businesses on Juneteenth. I hope they make it as they're the only black owned brewery in Atlanta as noted on their website. There's parking around the corner. The restaurant as I could see was clean. The server was friendly despite being overworked. Go try them if you're a beer &/or seltzer drinker and like baked or fried oysters.

Hopefully they still have some of these dishes on the menu. I will say the brunch menu is pretty limited from what I remember, but I got kind of a chicken and waffle situation and it was really good. Another family member got the chicken biscuit situation and enjoyed it. The grits cakes were really good along with the drinks. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. They were patient with us throughout our service and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and has a great ambience.

So I came for a pop up event so I am not sure how accurate I can be. But I will give my POV on what…read moreI saw even though there was an event and it may not have been business as usual. It's on the beltline so it's a great place that you can walk to a lot of areas. As far as parking goes, that is on you and it's paid. But there is a structure right there at the entrance of the restaurant so it is easy peasy. The bar is a nice sized bar so you will have plenty of space. Basically the bar takes up more space than the actual seating area almost. Which is okay, because it's pretty vast. The staff at the bar was a winner... Super friendly and very conversational. Met the gm and he kicked it with us a few times .. absolutely hilarious and energetic soul. The vibe was chill for the most part. And that is if you wanted to sit indoor and outdoor. Outdoor had a covered area so you would not get rained on it there was wet weather. It is not a whole lot of space but enough for maybe 8 or so tables... Give or take. I had shrimp and grits, as well as the chicken wings. The shrimp and grits was good as far as choices to. Very savory and the shrimp were huge (even though there were not that many of them). Chicken wings, could have been a little less salty. But they were still very large and meaty. So you got plenty of chicken and every chicken wing bite. If you're on a beltline in that area, this will be a good spot to pop up in on. You can get some good drinks, and get some good conversation as well!

I didn't enjoy any on this visit, but my buddies really enjoyed the 4 varieties they tried. Despite the menu being largely seafood oriented, I already knew I was ordering the "Kirkwood Smash" burger after my friend said it was prob his favorite burger in the area. The burger did not disappoint! The burger is not your traditional smash burger (in style or size) but was so good! The simplicity of the meat, cheese, and Calabrian mayo on that soft, brioche bun was perfect. It's one of the best burgers I've had in a while. The chips were really tasty too. The bathrooms had one of my favorite features - sinks outside the bathrooms. I know it's a small thing, but I like not having to wait for a free bathroom if I'm just washing my hands before a meal. The only downside is that our server seemed to be new. Almost every question, from "what's on draft" to "what's that Oyster's flavor like" was met with an unknowing stare and a trip to go ask someone else. She was really nice, just not very knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back when I'm in ATL next.

The oyster selection is probably one of my favorite things about this place. They have a really good variety, so there's always something different to try. And the fry bread is SO good. It's seasoned really well and has that salty and slightly sweet thing going on that makes it hard to stop eating. I will say I think the dinner menu is a little limited, so I wouldn't necessarily come here expecting a huge dinner selection. But for drinks, appetizers and lighter bites, I really like BeetleCat. The vibe is casual and fun, the service has always been good, and there are plenty of things I'd happily order again. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to for apps and drinks!

I saw they were hosting The Fruit, an event featuring four women DJs playing R&B, and figured it was the perfect opportunity to check out the newer menu and cocktails. For drinks, I tried the Happy Ending and Lavender Kiss. Both were really good, but the Lavender Kiss was definitely my favorite of the two. It was refreshing, flavorful, and the lavender was nicely balanced. For food, I ordered the Nuggets & Caviar. I appreciated that the chicken nuggets were homemade and they were definitely generous in size, but they were almost too large for this particular dish. I would have preferred smaller, more manageable pieces that allowed me to enjoy the chicken and caviar together in each bite. The atmosphere was lively, the R&B was great, and I enjoyed seeing how much the overall vibe has changed since my first visit. Girl Diver is still a beautiful space, and The Fruit made for a fun night out. I would definitely return, especially to explore more of the cocktail menu.
