I am honestly shocked at how terrible our meal was. We have eaten at Costa Rica before, and while it was never amazing, it was at least decent enough to try again. But this time was beyond disappointing -- it was downright upsetting. I ordered the taco salad, and I can't express how horrible it was. The portion was unbelievably tiny, and even though I asked for extra pico de gallo, there was literally ONE tiny piece of tomato in the entire thing. The salad was mushy, soggy, and soaked in something that made it look and taste like it had been sitting out for hours. I couldn't even tell what was supposed to be in it -- no visible beans, barely any lettuce, and nothing fresh about it at all. I was so disgusted I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. I have never had a Mexican meal this bad in my life. My husband's meal wasn't much better -- also small, bland, and nothing like what we expected. For what we paid, this was beyond unacceptable. We were left hungry, irritated, and honestly angry that we wasted our time and money. We will never go back again. This experience didn't just disappoint us it completely ruined any trust we had in this restaurant.

We had a larger party, and they did a relatively good job overall. Chips and salsa arrived quickly and were really fresh. Salsa was delicious, with the right level of spice. I ordered steak ranchero. It was done properly and the flavor was wonderful. The place is kinda cool inside, with lots of appropriate decor for the venue. Service was good, especially considering the group we had. I do recommend this one.

Had a nice time at a birthday party for a friend. Place is ok it did look very different than what was there before which was red thread. I heard some not so great things but the birthday girl wanted to go there. Chips and Salsa was bland. The salsa was very bland. No kick. Ordered the Diablo shrimp, was actually really good. Good size shrimp in a spicy chipotle sauce. Rice and beans also pretty good. Hubby order fajitas which he said was good. Was able to bring in my own cake which was nice. Only wine and beer there.

Disappointing. This is "fajita chicken nachos". Boiled chicken and cheese dip. One tomato, on piece of bell pepper.

Chips and salsa
Kelsi H.

I judge a Mexican place mostly by the chips and salsa and it was "meh" at best. The chips were cold and basically just tortilla chips from the bag. The salsa was pretty good, nothing special. I got the Texas rice with cheese and I added onions and peppers. It was good and did the trick. Overall the food was okay. There are better Mexican places nearby in opinion. The atmosphere was cute though. The place was definitely clean with lots of bright, fun colors.

Guacamole
Meredith G.

Very family friendly atmosphere. You don't have to worry about the kids being too loud. Beautiful cocktails. Chips and salsa brought to the table right away. We ordered guacamole for the table. It was very different from what I was expecting. Big chunks of avocado topped with fresh Pico de gallo. It was delicious. I ordered chicken fajitas for two to share with my husband. The serving was plentiful, but the pieces of chicken were very small, and I don't think they were grilled despite the sizzling plate they came on. The big disappointment were the store-bought tortillas. They could really up their game with some fresh house made tortillas. The restaurant was very busy, so they probably don't feel the need to do more.

Located in downtown Hoschton in a large shopping center next to a church. There is plenty of space, parking, and staff. Since opening the parking lot has been packed out. The atmosphere and decor is pretty standard for a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Bathrooms were very clean. We ordered the Taquitos Mexicanos (fantastic) which come with two shredded beef and two shredded chicken, cheese dip with jalapeños (best around) I really liked how they blended the jalapeños into a purée, Chiles Toreados (very good) roasted Serranos, Burritos Deluxe (very good) two burritos: one shredded chicken, one ground beef with beans inside topped with lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream, and a red sauce, and the Mexican Michelada (perfect) Service was great! We never wanted for anything and the manager came by twice to check on our dinner. You can tell that they really care about your experience. In conclusion I think we found our new neighborhood Mexican spot.

I stopped into Braselton Brewing Company after a long day in Atlanta, just looking to unwind with a…read moregood beer and dinner, and ended up having one of the most memorable experiences I've had at a brewery. I sat at the bar and got to chatting with a friendly couple next to me. Over the course of the evening, I learned they were actually the owners of the brewery. They were incredibly down-to-earth and passionate about what they do, and they shared some of the real behind-the-scenes ups and downs of running a local business. It made me appreciate this place even more. One detail that really stuck with me was that my go-to beer, Riley's Irish Red Ale, was their own personal recipe, and it's named after their dog Riley, who sadly passed away not long after they opened. That level of heart and personal connection shows in everything here: the beer, the food, the atmosphere, and the people. We even joked about bringing back the bacon mac and cheese. My mom's all-time favorite entree from here. I told them she still talks about it to this day. Who knows, maybe we'll see it on the menu again someday! If you're in or around Braselton, this place is more than worth the stop. Great beer, great food, and even better people. I'll definitely be back.

Braselton has a free wifi and is power at the bar so I was able to set up with my laptop. My first beer was The Hefe, their hefeweizen and it was quite good. For number two, and a plate of fried cheese curds, I chose the Fast Flyer Cream Ale. Absolutely delicious. A clean and comfortable space with both inside and outside seating. A cool vibe that seems to make the beers disappear even faster. This was awesome and enjoyable. I look forward to returning. [Round number review 1100 of 2024 - 757 in Georgia - 22127 overall]

Service was fast and our server was polite and helpful. We ordered the lobster crab and shrimp dip but honestly we didn't see any lobster or shrimp. We had about 2-3 pieces of crab meat.

My lobster rolls were delicious and the amount of lobster that came on the roll was perfect. I'm not a fan of sweet potato fries but their sweet potato fries are delicious especially with their honey mustard. We brought our kids with us and this restaurant didn't have any high chairs which was a bummer for our baby. They also didn't have a kids menu but were able to serve our older child with a smaller portion of the chicken finger plate. Their chicken fingers were so fresh and juicy and our son enjoyed the fish and fries. I would love to come back in the future to try their other dishes.

What a great idea! I had forgotten how original and traditional the meals are, we were able to walk in with no reservation and get seated within 10 minutes where we all proceeded to order drinks and for me, Guinness! We started with a few pretzels with the beer cheese, which were fantastic. Then I was craving the Reuben, which was better than I even remembered. Not massively big but some of the best flavored meat I've had in a Reuben in a while. You can tell they cook it themselves and it was really super! Rest of the family bangers and mash and a lot of fish and chips, which is something they are known for. Great service, excellent cocktails, and the food was spot on. A great venue to spend the evening got home early to have a great weekend but so glad we came here Friday night. We live nearby and hardly ever come, and this was a real treat. Highly recommend.

We've hosted our company Christmas parties and meetings at this neighborhood bar for years and…read morealways booked them as private events. In the past, the bar closed to the public, posted signage, and staff consistently enforced that it was a private function. Under the new ownership, that standard completely collapsed during our event yesterday. When our scheduled private event began, there were still patrons inside. We assumed they would finish up and leave, but they did not. More people continued to come in, and the owners refused to clear the space or enforce the private booking. This was especially concerning because our staff group included minors (we informed the bar in advance, and made it clear they were not to be served alcohol). During the event, one patron was filming the group, including the underage attendees. Inappropriate comments were also made toward the women in our party. When we confronted the situation and asked that the video be deleted, the patron refused. When we brought this to the employees/owners, we were shocked to see them defend the patron and then demand that our group leave. It became clear that several of the patrons were friends/relatives of the owners. One of them even claimed to be an ex-cop and threatened that we would be arrested if we didn't leave. We ultimately paid our bill, left, and had to move our meeting elsewhere. If you're booking a "private event" here, be aware that the owners may not honor it or protect your group, even when minors are present. Based on how this was handled, women in particular should strongly consider avoiding this business, especially for private events or group gatherings. We will not be returning.

Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the genuinely warm greeting from the staff and the inviting, vibrant atmosphere within. The interior design skillfully balanced comfort with a dynamic energy, enhanced by multiple strategically placed screens that contributed to the lively ambiance without being intrusive. My server, in particular, delivered exceptional service, demonstrating remarkable attentiveness and professionalism throughout my entire meal. For my main course, I selected the pork chop special, which was expertly presented alongside a finely prepared potato salad and a crisp, refreshing side salad. The pork chop itself was cooked to an exquisite perfection, achieving an ideal tenderness and succulent flavor. A true highlight was the innovative accompaniment served with the dish. This unique sauce or relish offered a harmonious blend of tangy and fresh profiles, coupled with a delightful crisp texture, further elevated by perfectly rendered bacon bits that provided an ideal crunchy counterpoint and enhanced the overall culinary experience. Based on this superb dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Jack's Public House to anyone seeking a high-quality meal in the Braselton area. I anticipate making return visits during my remaining time here and eagerly look forward to future opportunities to dine at this exceptional establishment. Richard Biancardi

**STOP AND EAT HERE!! **…read more I NEVER leave reviews, but this place was so good that I had to take the time to write one. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredible. I got to speak with Chef Roger, and you can immediately tell that he genuinely cares about the food he makes. The way he talked about selecting the flavors and preparing the mushrooms really showed how much pride he takes in his cooking. The maître d' at the door was also named Roger, and he was just as friendly and welcoming. I had my 18-month-old daughter with me, and the entire staff treated us so well. Everyone was professional, kind, and genuinely welcoming. At one point, I walked outside with my daughter while our food was being prepared, and she grabbed the maître d' Roger's hand and just started walking around with him. That honestly says a lot about how comfortable and welcomed we felt there. **Now, the STEAK... WOW.** This was probably the best steak I have ever had. The wood-smoked grill flavor and the crust were absolutely perfect. I had the Baseball Wagyu steak, and it was SO tender. It was almost like eating a more flavorful filet. Absolutely incredible. The mushrooms were fantastic, and the mashed potatoes actually tasted freshly made -- not like that watery, sad stuff that sometimes gets served as mashed potatoes. We didn't get the bourbon mushrooms because we don't drink, but Chef Roger explained that the alcohol is actually cooked off during preparation. You could tell he really knew his food and was happy to explain everything. Honestly, if you're going to eat in **Helen, GA**, I would put this place at the top of your list. Helen itself was okay, but a lot of what we saw was more typical bar food. **This place was on another level.** The food, service, atmosphere, and hospitality were all top-tier. **Worth every single dollar.** And I want to give an extra shout-out because I had my little daughter with me, and they treated her like family. Nobody was stuck-up or pretentious. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. **Shout-out to Chef Roger, Maître d' Roger, and the guy with no hair and the blue jacket! ** Thank you guys for such an awesome experience. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back! **If you're anywhere near Helen, GA -- STOP AND EAT HERE! You won't regret it. **
