What a funky, fun spot! The patio was awesome. Our server (also the hostess, it seemed, although one other gal popped her head over to get confirmation on one of the sides we'd asked for) was beyond nice. She genuinely seemed happy to be there, and not just for tips - didn't get her name, but she had GORGEOUS purple hair. Food - YUM! Onion rings were the perfect size so that one bite didn't result in the whole onion slipping out of its fried blankie. Grilled shrimp - also the perfect size!! Not those tiny little grubby ones. Date's ribeye was perfectly cooked! He had fried okra as his side and I despise okra, but it was actually pretty tasty! We agreed that for a menu that sounded like "basic burger bar food" it was really great and worth repeat visits in the future. read more

Break Water Grill - Grilled shrimp, broccoli and onion rings. These are a few of my favorite things. - American Near Me - Flowery Branch, Georgia

Set back off the main road, I'm not 100% sure what this restaurant is known for. Not a large crowd at the time we went. It was kind of odd having the manager's office in the front of the restaurant and in view of customers. Tables had an odd texture to them. Like they were painted but remained sticky for some reason. Pretzel appetizer was good and toasted. I could have used more acid and leche de tigre in the ceviche. So it was just OK. Skip the country fried steak. The brown gravy is flat out gross. The steak is definitely frozen. The onion rings and the Mexican corn were the best part of the plate. Very likely will not be back. read more

I was happy to hear from the owner, thanks Barb- we were hoping for a local place like yours for a burger/date night. We hope you get a better experienced cook and trained waitstaff, we want your establishment to succeed. you are in a prime location. A menu change would help. You have to determine what you are good at, then go from there... be well!! read more

Just your average little grill. Chicken Caesar wrap is pretty good. Nice place to stop in for lunch.

Our fist time here. We went for the Sunday brunch. We were sat right away and drinks came out very fast. There was a little bit of a wait on the food however they were pretty busy. Our waitress, Crystal, was so kind in quickly helping us with drinks and also my waffle came out a little too dark for me and she quickly had me a new one out with no problem. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We will definitely be back. Tip: the bacon was very good but has a sweet taste. If you're not big on sweet bacon then maybe opt for the sausage. read more

Third times a charm? Not at all. I have eaten here through every "reopening", name change, new owner. Nothing I had today was good. I got the Montego Bay Sandwich. Possibly the worst thing I've ever tried. Fake seafood and tiny slimy scallops on unmelted cheese. The burger was basic and again the cheese was just thrown on and not melted (steak and shake is better). The Fish and Chips is made with Tilapia. Not Cod? Just pass on all of it. Every time this place reopens it's worse. The service tho, was excellent. I won't be back. read more

Went with a friend, she loves the bar and place itself. I thought it was ok, not really any different than your typical bar/restaurant. Will say though that one of their waitresses (sorry, don't know her name) was great! All the staff was great but she made the night interesting. Not sure if it's all the time but they will do karaoke at night time so you can either enjoy the show or be annoyed by the performers (who usually tend to have some drinks in them). I preferred to enjoy. Other than that, foodni s decent, prices are normal and their is a liquor store attached next to the restaurant, or more like the restaurant attached to the liquor store. read more

We decided to try this place on Saturday and were very disappointed. The air conditioning either wasn't working, or they were afraid to turn it down. It must've been 85° in there. The young man who greeted us at the door was extremely young but polite, and this must've been the first day for our server, who graduated from middle school. Lol, the place is empty, and while we were there, all they had on was music and the language my wife, and I didn't understand, and those who were there were conversing in that language as well. I would've understood the music and language issues if I went to a Mexican or Persian restaurant, but Breakwater Grill sounds pretty mainstream in America. I would not recommend this place because it's rundown, and nobody appears to be managing it. To be quite honest with you, we were afraid of leaving with food poisoning read more

We enjoyed a fabulous meal today. Brandi provided excellent service!! My husband had burger with onion rings. I had the chicken strawberry salad. read more

We had the chicken tenders meal and grilled pork chop meal. The chicken tenders came with fries and onion rings. It was a large portion, with enough for lunch the next day. Sweet potato fries and fried okra were chosen as sides for the pork chop; both were good. The only challenge was getting the glass of wine that was ordered. I had to remind them and then 3 different people came back to the table to ask what I'd ordered. I'd visit again. read more

I am so pissed we went there - I can't even spend the time typing this crap in! Basically: Cheap crap food! High prices! Coke machine is over sweet and had zero carbonation! Lazy and unknowledgeable waitstaff! No liquor license! Just stay away - unless you are a couple of food crazed shitbirds - who are gluttons for a waste of time and MONEY! read more

Let's start on the pickle spears! Yes, SPEARS. I always want spears but don't think I've ever run across a place that has them. Thank you Paola for helping us decide and taking such great care of us. Also thank you Victor for giving us tequila 101; we learned a lot! The food was very tasty and the drinks were delicious. Paolo's spicy Bloody Mary was suuuper good I would recommend. We'll be back for sure. read more

Break Water Grill - Ceviche & Sampler Platter - American Near Me - Flowery Branch, Georgia

Delicious!!!! Incredible brunch and dinner! Lots of menu items to choose from. You can tell the chef puts a lot of effort into making the food top-notch and not just commercialized. Seasoning was perfect. Sometimes it's just hard to find a good restaurant around this area. My husband and I love it here. read more

Went here for a late lunch. The place was empty but that was to be expected at a 2:30 hour. The waitress was sweet but we were missing silverware and she didn't wait for everyone to sit before taking the food order. The food came out but she hasn't placed my order in the computer. I waited while everyone ate. I have to add that it was my birthday!! They gave me 10% off. The food was mediocre. The owner was very pleasant but in the end after the food issue and then the credit card machine wouldn't work, I wouldn't go back if I lived in this area. Too many other good options. read more

Chicken tenders were so so good I loved the service I will definitely go back for a burger next time!

So happy we decided to eat here! So incredibly friendly, great home cooked food and great atmosphere. Surprised and impressed I definitely will be back. Our service was top notch, even the menu was explained to us. We came in a little late and were still treated like a priority. Thank you, we will be back. Had the salmon, the glaze definitely recommend! Also the Mozz Sticks they are huge! read more

My first red flag was that no one was there at 12 pm but I decided to go anyway. My French toast was extremely burnt so my waitress told me she would comp it and make me a new one. I got charged for strawberries I didn't ask for. The biscuits were extremely hard. There butter tasted off. My waitress didn't understand a word I said. And I had asked her to bring my biscuits out before my food yet she didn't listen and brought them out with my food. She forgot my fork and took forever to get it. She did not get us straws so we had to get them ourselves. I will not be coming back and the atmosphere just felt extremely off about this place read more

This entire experience was great; the food the staff and the music. But the best part was that my picky 3 year old cleanedv her plate and danced around. She had a blast read more

Our first time in and it "looked" like we may have found a Great place ...but NO! My husband ordered fish & chips $15 and it was two small pieces of frozen breaded fish (the waiter told us it was a big piece) My salad came and tasted like there was no dressing. When I finally got the waiter (restaurant was empty) he just started naming dressings instead of bringing what it was supposed to have come with in the first place. Hubby had wedge salad and I had coconut shrimp. Both were "OK". The bill came and they up charge for credit cards so we gave cash. Waiter returned and had rounded up our bill so we got no coins.. also no singles were provided. A lunch definitely NOT worth $60. read more

Any time a new restaurant opens in flowery branch I get really excited because the options are very limited and there isn't a lot of variety. I heard about this place about a month before they opened. Today I ate there and I thought I'd share my thoughts with the yelpisphere. First impression is "I love what they did with the place". I had visited when it was greens and it was very dark and lacked some identity. Hometown grill has an identity. Before getting to that I'll share my thoughts on the environment. The front doors now have windows and they've changed the entire inside to full seating and removed the indoor bar. I think this is smart because it allows for more seats and less of a wait on busy days. The menu is a bit underwhelming BUT I was told by someone it was just a basic menu until they roll out their full menu. Currently has some burgers, Ruben, wings, and few other things including a salad. I should have taken a picture of it. Oh well! The food was good. I'd rate it a 8 our of 10. It's very American style food. It reminds me a lot of friends in Buford. Lot of similarities in my opinion. Hometown may be slightly more expensive. Speaking of price, it's on the high end of the price point they need to stay within. I've attached my bill for your review. We had a party of 4 (2 adults 2 kids). We ordered 5 wings as an app, my wife got 10 wings, I got the Ruben, and both kids got the kids finger with fries. All of us drank water and after tip were over $50. $7 for a kids menu item feels a little high. I never feel like I get my money out of kids menu because they never finish it. I guess we can use it for a second meal (leftovers). The food was prepared well and I really enjoyed the Ruben sandwich. They did a great job with that! We liked the wings and I tasted the chicken fingers that my kids got and they were cooked perfectly. They were moist and flavorful. The fries were really good and all came with healthy portions. The staff was very friendly and was a very young staff. They weren't your typical younger staff. I felt well taken care of and had multiple people come ask about our experience. I believe they care and did a good job of serving our food with a good attitude. They had a lot of staff members there but I imagine they're probably getting everyone up to speed. For it being a new restaurant I didn't feel like they were in the middle of training or having a hard time with the process. The food took a little while to come out but I would say it wasn't bad either. Right when I started thinking it was taking a bit they delivered it out less than 1 minute later. They weren't that busy. I'd be interested to see how fast they turn food around when they are slammed. I'll be back when they roll out a full menu and I hope to update this review over time as I learn more about them. I could easily give them a 5 star for effort and food quality/taste. I'd just say I think the prices are a tad too high and people would more than likely visit more often if it was a little less. Try the Ruben! You won't be disappointed. read more

We ordered delivery and it came exactly when they said. I ordered the linguine with clams and it was amazing! I make my own and have had it in some of the best restaurants, because it's my favorite! There was a generous amount of clams and they tasted like they were right out of the ocean. We had the asparagus fries and fried mushrooms, which were really good also. I need their linguine recipe because it's better than mine!!!! read more

We ate there last night and I'm sorry to say it was really bad I had a cobb salad that was so bad I couldn't eat it, it was brought out with no dressing, I had to call the waiter to bring dressing but I still couldn't eat it. My husband had a sirloin steak that tasted good but was quite tough to cut. We will not go back. I will say the coconut shrimp was very good. read more

Best kept secret in Flowery Branch, GA. If you love brunch this is the place to be on Saturday and Sunday. You have to order the bacon!!! It is divine. If you are here from out of town, maybe you are getting married at one of the beautiful local venues and you need a place for a rehearsal dinner? This is your best choice!!! You have the choice of the patio or inside the dining room. Also, if you need a cost effective venue for a wedding and/or reception, give them a call at 678-617-9437 for the event coordinator and they will be happy to assist you. On Friday night they have a talent showcase of some of the best singers in the local area. No band, just good singing!!! For the record, in the past they have had issues with service but under the new management they have improved tremendously. If you haven't been there in a while, give them another chance. read more

We ordered dinner from here randomly one night for take out. I had ordered some soup and they were kind enough to call me and let me know they were out and if I would like a different soup, they had two other option: Broccoli cheddar or Brunswick so I stated Broccoli cheddar( not sure fan of Brunswick), they even offered a free dessert for not having the soup i wanted, which I was surprised and thought it was really nice. When we picked up our food, they gave me Brunswick stew and no dessert. But the customer serves was great and intention was there. Maybe next time we will try dine in..... read more

This is my third time here and I haven't had a bad experience! The environment is very comfortable and the food tastes great. Service was good and the manager was helping during the rush which is very nice to see. read more

I've been there six different times with different management have not had a excellent experience yet. Who does overprice service a slow food quality is low the atmosphere on the patio sucks. Noisy ice machine is always running. I have not found one redeeming factor regarding this place, other than it's location. But unlike real estate location is not enough to save this restaurant, we will not return . It's my understanding they're trying to. Make it into a Saturday night hotspot, and that may work as the noise and food quality can be subpar if you have a good music and good drinks. read more

Went their for a late lunch today. MY WIFE HAD THE gyro and I the bourbon BBQ burger, MR. Both were excellent and the service was great. The draft pints were an amazing price and cold. I see no reason to not go back and give them a second try! read more

The last two meals we had were consistently good food. This time, not so. My wife's medium burger was cooked well done. The fried egg on the burger was cooked to a crisp when, on the last two burgers I had at HT, it was a runny egg which complimented the sandwich. The fries were soggy and barely warm. When I mentioned this to our waitress, she replied, "we have a new cook..." Unfortunately, I thought we'd found a good, local restaurant...will be awhile before we return, if we do. read more

We thought we'd give this local place a try today for lunch after a karate graduation. Big mistake. Service was fine but it took over 30 min to get food (we were the only table at the time). My husband ordered a mushroom Swiss burger but had to change order bc they were out of mushrooms. I noticed the cucumbers on my salad were frozen/defrosted but figured it happens. Over heard our server telling another table they were out of ground beef, I guess glad we got the last 2 at our table leftover from last night? Finally started to eat my buffalo chicken sandwich and bit into the thinnest, driest piece of chicken ever. I asked the server if that was the norm when he came back by and he said they had a problem with their walk-in and everything was frozen. Got it, so most likely my $11 chicken sandwich was microwaved then thrown on a grill. I had maybe 2 bites of my sandwich but was only offered $3 off my bill. Not impressed and sadly we really wanted this place to succeed! Overall feedback - prices too high for what you get and if you know there is an issue with refrigeration, just close for lunch. We may have tried again assuming it was just closed today for some reason rather than no longer planning to ever go back. read more

New restaurant in Flowery Branch located in the remodeled location of the old Green's Tavern. I was thrilled to learn that the whole location is non-smoking which was always a big negative with the previous business as you could never escape the smoke coming from the patio area.The staff is super friendly and they all go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience. My wife and I were some of the very first customers just an hour after they received their business license so the first visit was during the training phase. Our second visit showed a vast improvement in the service as everyone is coming up to speed. I had the burger with the fried green tomato and it was very tasty while my wife had the chef salad which she said was very good. If for some reason you aren't satisfied with your food, reach out to the owner and I'm pretty confident she will make it right! read more

Break Water Grill - Yeager bomb - American Near Me - Flowery Branch, Georgia

Aesthetically their burgers look AMAZING however they definitely don't taste how they look. If you're a stickler for flavor like I am then you'll understand. You can order any burger and get it grilled or deep fried. I can't remember the exact burger but of course I got it deep fried. Some think because the batter is seasoned that they don't have to season the actual meat. I'm assuming they seasoned the batter, not even sure because the batter wasn't exploding with flavor either. When I bit into the burger it just tasted like breaded meat. I'm sorry but I need seasoning on my meat. To me, there was a major lack in flavor. My husband got the same burger and he said his was fine/good. Nonetheless, smothered it in bbq sauce. Normally if he eats a good burger then he won't put any bbq sauce on it. Go figure. Oh this sort of irritated me. I paid an extra $1.99 for a side salad because I didn't want fries. There were two pieces of onions and two maybe three tomatoes wedges. Get this....no dressing, silverware or napkins. I almost forgot! My husband ordered mashed potatoes....to die for! They were so delicious. read more
