    Grouper Imperial
    Nancy T.

    My hubby and I eat here about once or twice every other month for late lunch or early dinners, often on weekends. I'm not sure if they don't offer the complimentary rolls anymore but last 4 visits they did not offer. Once they just did not offer so I figured they weren't doing it anymore. The next time they did not offer but I saw other tables had gotten rolls so I asked and we got a basket of rolls for us. The next time after that they didn't offer so I asked and the server flat out told me they didn't have any. We went there on this past Tuesday for lunch and of course I asked for some rolls and one of the servers said he will check in the back and came back stating weren't doing rolls that hour lol. I wish this restaurant was more consistent how they run their business.

    We were visiting in the area and decided to stop in on a family member's recommendation. The service was excellent. We had the fried calamari to start and came with fried green peppers as well. I am not a fan of calamari so I didn't try that but the green peppers were excellent. The coating had a little spice to it and was delicious as was the dipping sauce. The shrimp tacos were great but the flounder tacos were amazing. A huge piece of fish on each taco. Really tasty! Fun decor and lots of room makes this an easy stop!

    I finally stopped into Coastal Breeze after driving past it night after night while picking my husband up from work. The parking lot is always full, which felt like a pretty solid clue. Turns out, the crowd knows exactly what it's doing. What started as a simple dinner quickly turned into a full blown family Sunday gathering. My uncle and aunt showed up, chairs were pulled together, plates were passed around, and suddenly we were sharing everything like it was a holiday meal. Honestly, that's the best kind of surprise. We ordered a little bit of everything because committing to just one seafood dish felt impossible. The fried coastal shrimp were crispy and perfectly cooked. The seafood bake was loaded and comforting. The crab cakes were packed with flavor and not just filler. And the seafood étouffée had just the right amount of richness and spice. Every dish came out hot and fresh, which always earns bonus points in my book. The beachy theme fits the name perfectly without feeling over the top. It's cute, welcoming, and relaxed. The service was stellar from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. You can tell they take pride in what they're doing. Safe to say, I'll be pulling into that "always full" parking lot a lot more often. If you're craving solid seafood in Buford, this place absolutely delivers.

    Drive to beach cocktail

    Large place with lots of seating indoor & on patio. The Drive to the beach cocktail is great (and not pricey like most places). The shrimp was a little salty but the rest of the seafood was fresh and good. The homemade chips were excellent and crunchy

    Friday night date night dinner and it was ok. Coconut shrimp was good and grouper imperial was o. Wife had Mahi tacos and shared it was good. Service was decent.

    Cool vibe of being on the vacation and close to lake Lanier. Lunch prices, good size portions delicious food! Abby was an attentive waitress and very mice. Drinks are refreshing!

    Came in on July 4th and had the pleasure of having Garrett as our server. He took great care of us and recommended some really good choices. Fried blue crab claws and spicy Cajun pasta were our favorites. Oysters were fresh and didn't have a funky taste. Overall, would come by here again.

    The fish tacos with Broccoli side. Both excellent choices!

    So it's a seafood place North of Atlanta, but I was pleasantly surprised. Appears very new and clean, easy to access. Our server was quite friendly and helpful. I ordered the Fish Tacos, with the steamed Broccoli as my side. The Broccoli was really good! The tacos were also very good, fish was nicely cooked and served well.

"Short leash" in RULES FOR DOGS- yet a person continuously allowed his dog to walk in front of everyone in a path to get in and out. "Remove dogs if they are noisy" RULES FOR DOGS - Another's dog barked and squealed nonstop throughout our meal. I even asked the food expeditor if I could buy the dog a steak so it would shut up. He replied "we cannot do anything like that". It is hard to enjoy the sing along music when people allow their pet to bark nonstop, of course one barks they must all chime in occasionally. I get it, it is the lake, want to bring your pet, then please teach it to behave. Our waitress did an ok job throughout the meal. We started with beer and wine and the Calamari Appetizer, this was pretty tasty and enjoyable. Next, she had the salmon as did our guest, they both liked the dish, note about the sauce, it is a bit on the spicy side, but very tasty. I had the Fish and Chips, the fish was fried crispy and cooked perfectly, not greasy at all and very good, the coleslaw and fries were also tasty. I am sure we would NOT make this a regular place based solely on the unruly pets. There are many other places on the lake to eat where the food is just as good, and they do not allow the pet owners to ruin other people's meals. I gave the Pete's the benefit of 3 stars even though 2.5 would be more appropriate based on the lack of enforcement of their own posted Rules for Dogs. Why have a sign?

    Crossroads Bar & Grille in Flowery Branch just nailed two lunch classics better than most places…read moreI've tried--the Cuban and the Reuben are absolute winners. Stopped in at 5900 Spout Springs Rd for a casual lunch and left seriously impressed. These sandwiches aren't just thrown together; they're loaded and executed perfectly. The Cuban (marinated pork loin, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, spicy mustard, and pickles on a toasted hoagie roll) was a flavor bomb. Look at that cross-section--juicy, tender pork layered thick with ham, melty cheese, and that perfect pickle crunch cutting through the mustard kick. The bread toasted up golden and held everything together without getting soggy. Paired it with fries and a side of ketchup, and it felt like something straight out of a great Cuban spot. Huge portions that actually satisfy. The Classic Reuben on toasted marbled rye was equally stacked: thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and 1000 Island dressing. The bread had that ideal crisp exterior with a soft bite, and the fillings were generous and well-balanced--no dry bites here. Came with crispy fries and a side of creamy sauce that tied it all together beautifully. Service was friendly and quick, the atmosphere is that perfect relaxed neighborhood vibe (great for watching a game or just catching up), and the prices are fair for the quality and size you get. In a world full of average bar sandwiches, Crossroads delivers the real deal with fresh ingredients and obvious care. Whether you're craving the tangy, savory Reuben or the bright, porky Cuban, both hit the spot hard. I'll definitely be back. If you're in Flowery Branch, do not sleep on these sandwiches. Highly recommend--5 stars.

There is outdoor seating here and a separate bar area from the main dining. In all sense seriousness, it reminds me of a hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant. However, it's got the dank bar vibe! We grabbed seats at the bar, and I got to hear a local rave about the place. Apparently they get their calamari fresh. Waitress (Jasmine?) was fast and helpful. Service was great! We did order the calamari. It tasted like any other calamari I've ever had BUT their marinara sauce was legit. It was the BEST part of the entire meal. It had a spicy flare to it. So, there's your unique aspect of dining here. They also serve rolls with honey butter, and that was my second favorite part. I ordered the Reuben with fried okra. In all honesty, I did not like the Reuben. Something was off with it; taste seemed off. The fried okra was cut up okra pieces (wished they had just fried the entire thing). Overall, it's a decent bar. The hype for it seems to be big and I'm unsure why. It's a good place to stop if you're in the area but it's not a must stop. There are A LOT of 5 star reviews for this place by people with less than 10 reviews .
