Went to this spot for a birthday celebration and had one of the private rooms with a perfect view of planes taking off and landing--such a unique touch. The atmosphere was calm, relaxing, and really set the tone for an enjoyable afternoon . The service was excellent from start to finish, and the food did not disappoint. I would absolutely recommend this place for special occasions, gatherings, or even a more intimate get-together. read more

Cute place. Really nice view of the runways and airplanes. I could see it being a nice place for a date and drinks. Went for brunch on a Sunday. The food was not good. Bland with weird pairings and combinations. Would return but definitely will eat before I get there read more

Elevation Chophouse and Skybar - Pancakes, kids grilled cheese, eggs Benedict, salmon entree - Seafood Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Went for Mother's Day...special menu $86 per person, $17 for 12 & under. Choice of one app, entree and dessert. Kids menu only came with entree. Asked if we could get a side salad and it was a "no" because they can't do a single thing off menu...and who doesn't include a dessert for kids on Mother's Day when everyone else has dessert at the table? Even a small scoop of ice cream would keep them from eating off of mom's plate on Mother's Day! Apps were all good, crab cake, onion bisque and Caesar salad. Entrees were the miss...surf and turf was ok, seasoning on filet was good but ordered my steak medium rare and it was fully cooked with no pink. Mashed and veg were perfect. Same for another daughter. My husband had the ribeye and same, cooked through. My oldest had the grouper and it was not good. Overall overdone. Risotto was way overdone and a mushy mess, lacked flavor. Service was ok. Seemed rushed, never came back to check on meals. Told us to "hang onto your fork"...ummm, we are paying nearly $100 a head and I can't get a clean fork between courses? And midway through dessert delivered a check. No offer for coffee or another wine, just a rush to turn over the table. We have had good food before so will give it a try one more time... read more

This place is a vibe! Food and service is good. Sunset is great on a busy flight night. Only thing I'd change is the lighting. Dimmer lights when it gets dark would be nice so you're not just looking at your reflection in the windows. read more

Took 35 minutes to get our food. The smoked salmon benedict was a patty and was dry and the menu did not say it was a patty. The fried chicken benedict was over cooked and dry. This restaurant is a great concept that we tried years ago. Now we remember why we don't go back. read more

Elevation Chop House and Sky Bar: Cool Concept, Average Execution For an early birthday celebration, I chose Elevation Chop House and Sky Bar, intrigued by the unique experience of dining at a small airport with views of the runways. And in that regard, it delivered--there's something undeniably fun about watching planes take off and land while you eat. The food itself, however, left me with mixed feelings. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't particularly memorable either. The line between freshly prepared dishes and prepackaged items was a bit blurred, and the overall execution felt uninspired. The plating, in particular, was disappointing--compartmentalized into little bowls with no effort to make the dishes visually appealing. It didn't feel like an afterthought so much as no thought at all. That said, the waitstaff was lovely--kind, attentive, and welcoming. The hospitality side of the experience was solid, even if the food presentation and overall culinary ambition fell flat. I see a lot of untapped potential in this place. With its unique location and concept, Elevation Chop House could elevate (pun intended) the dining experience to something truly special by focusing more on presentation and refining the food to match the setting. As it stands, it operates more like a casual chain restaurant--a simple, no-fuss style that doesn't quite live up to the unique environment. Would I go back? Probably, but with adjusted expectations. The draw here is the novelty of dining by the runway, not the food. Go for the view, enjoy the experience, and don't expect to be wowed by what's on your plate. But, that said, it is not bad, just not WOW. read more

$$-$$$ Great view of the Kennesaw Airstrip. We watched aircraft land during our visit to this upscale tavern. Drinks were well made by our mixologist at the upstairs bar. We had really good service and the nightly manager stopped by as well. With high ceilings and well lite area, conversation was easy and relaxed. A unique place to dine in Kennesaw GA.

We went for their Valentine dinner on Sunday. When my husband recommended we try it I wasn't thrilled because it was at a local airport. I was surprised with the service, food and ambiance. They even had valet parking which was unexpected. The hostesses opened the door for us and were very friendly and welcoming. We were seated immediately. Our waitress came over took our drink orders. The food was excellent and everything was timed perfectly. We were pleasantly surprised and pleased with everything. We will definitely return. Much nicer without all the noise you get at larger establishments. read more

The food was 10 out 10 and the was view amazing!! Everything we ate was amazing. Start with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Chicken fingers and fries. Cheesecake crème brûlée and peach cobbler delicious read more

The Cobb County Airport provided great ambiance, but it was Heather's service and menu recommendations that were 5-star! My family and I enjoyed a plethora of menu choices, starting with three different appetizers; fantastic Mozzarella in Corrozza (not ordinary frozen cheese sticks), Crispy Rock Shrimp (my personal favorite - hot honey dip ), and incredible Jalapeño Poppers. All three were an outstanding way to start the meal. All four of us had different entrees. My daughter in law had the Steak Pasta that she said was outstanding, my son had the Beef Brisket that he shared a small portion with me (awesome), wife had BBQ Ribs that were fall off the bone perfect, and I had THE BEST Rack of Lamb. All four meals were 5 star worthy - and topped off with an incredible Crème Brûlée. I would highly recommend Elevation Chop House read more

-Great food -Awesome ambiance - if you have people who enjoy seeing planes take off and land, this is a cool spot to do it in. -Good portions to easy for sharing with a group. -Our waitress was great and very attentive, even with a party of 20 people sitting by us. Minor feedback: We came to celebrate my husband and parents birthdays together here. I included a note about it in the reservation and it seemed to have been forgotten. I had to find our waitress to ask her and she said the hostess must have forgotten to mention it. Minor issue but it was unfortunate. The waitress made up for it in the end and brought out dessert. read more

Service was good. Food was just average not even average no reason to go back cool atmosphere but the food is not that great

Salmon and Crab Eggs Benedict & a $3 Bloody Mary with amazing views. I will admit that the service was not up to my expectations and the second part of my Benedict was over cooked and tasted more fishy than the first part. I did enjoy the overall experience. Will go back to try again. read more

We had a ladies brunch to kick off the holiday season. The best part of this restaurant are the views of the tarmac with all the private planes coming in and out. The second best thing is the ambiance. Open, airy, and spacious inside. We started with a few of the appetizers. Fried shrimp with a remoulade sauce, sticky ribs and the spinach dip. We then moved on to entrees. There was French toast, brisket and eggs, the chopped steak, chicken club and the southern Benny. I'll speak for all of it as we shared plates. Portions were generous, food was tasty, everything came out in a timely fashion and was done as described on the menu. We tried three of the desserts, the cheesecake,brownie sundae and bread pudding which came with a creme brûlée sauce. They were all good with the bread pudding as the standout for everyone. Service was good. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. I would say that overall it was a good experience and worthy of a return visit. M read more

LOVE this place! Amazing food, amazing staff. And you get to see a variety of aircraft land and take off! It is my "go to" place. Celebrated my brother and his wife's birthdays. They were completely impressed. Heather is Awesome. She is one of the reasons why this place is my favorite. We brought my mom there for a special dinner and Heather made us feel so special. We are hooked! read more

My husband and I had dinner here for Valentine's Day. It was my first experience at Elevation and I didn't really know what to expect. I knew they were offering a prix fixe menu for this particular evening and the options were all dishes I would enjoy. Arriving at the hostess station I immediately noticed dust and cobwebs hanging off the wall. This made me a little uneasy - first impressions are important and a lack of cleanliness in a restaurant is always a red flag for me. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and we had meatballs and spring rolls for our first course. They were okay. My husband had the lobster and steak for his main course. He asked for medium and received medium rare steak. I chose the Chilean sea bass with risotto. The fish was good but the portion was small. The portion of risotto was much larger but nearly flavorless. Both of our meals came with asparagus and it tasted like chlorinated tap water. I ate the fish and left the rest on my plate. For dessert we had the chocolate cake. It was okay. The decoration looked rushed with a few chopped strawberries and some whipped cream piped onto the plate. The cake tasted okay but wasn't anything special. The meal for the two of us cost just under $200 for these three courses and two sodas. I was very disappointed. While the ambience was fine and the service was good, the food didn't measure up and I walked out feeling cheated. I don't plan on going back. read more

Of course the view of the aircraft's taking off and landing is everything. We sat upstairs right by a window so that was great for the kids. We went during brunch I had a mimosa the champagne was flat guess that's why they are $3. My daughter got the key like Caesar in which majority of the lettuce was wilted. The pancakes were huge and worth it. I got wedge salad with an abundance of onions and they use ranch instead of blue cheese. The server was very nice he just seemed a bit shy. read more

The view and ambiance is amazing! Service was great and the waiter definitely kept us entertained. Food was okay. Drinks had a slight medicinal taste. I think they use syrups rather than puree. We ate steak, salmon, brussels, onion rings, and salad. Steak was well cooked and the demi glaze added a nice touch. Would definitely go back for the view. read more

This was our first visit to the restaurant. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is nice. Noise level is average. We had the elevation omelet and southern benny. Both were average not bad not great. It did take 30 solid minutes after ordering to get the food. read more

It was the day before Father's Day and busy. Mozzarella cheese was great, the Texas Chili not so much. I was disappointed when we arrived and found that the restaurant did not have an elevator or chair lift to allow for my husband and I to enjoy the second floor as I am handicapped. Overall the experience was unique and might try to go back when it has a less lively event. read more

Chophouse. Just the name alone should indicate something high end. Things at McCollum Airport. Walk into what looks to be an old restaurant. We were seated upstairs. The booths looked like they were hand me downs from a diner. Nothing gave me the feelies that this was high end except for the menu prices. While the server over shared her thoughts on everything imaginable she was very attentive. Ordered the steak pasta and a wedge salad. The highlight of the night was the house made ranch dressing on the wedge. The pasta was a basic Alfredo penne with sautéed onions and mushrooms and a skirt steak over top. Theatres was bland. The steak was decent. Others at the table ordered the salmon, the filet, and a burger. Food was mediocre. Ambiance was outdated, well used and uninspiring. Beer selection was dismal. Server was attentive but the over talking and over sharing was a bit much. Prices were high for the quality of food. A better name for the place would be "Airport Restaurant". Very "ish". read more

It's been awhile since we've been able to do a date night. Our server - Donovan was attentive and was right around the corner, if we needed his assistance! The food was good, however, the creme brûlée..it's probably the best I've had, thus far! My only concern was the 8oz filet. For the price, didn't seem reasonable. Decided to sit at the 2nd level bar after dinner. Forgot the bartender but she's a gem and fun! If you do come - I would say come around 4/5pm. Before the sun goes down. To see the planes/helicopter. 6pm, it was too dark to really make anything out, aside from their navigation lights. read more

First of all you need to update your point of sale system. There should be a way to split checks no matter the size of the party. The food was not all that great. We ordered onion rings as an appetizer, and honestly get the same quality and more from Dairy Queen. The salmon and steaks were burnt, and had bitter notes of charcoal. The gourmet sides were less than gourmet and tasted like they were instant potatoes from Kroger or Walmart. The chicken for the chicken parmigiana tasted like bland frozen chicken on top of store bought dry pasta. The only item we ordered that looked decent was the burger my son ordered. Our server was absent almost the entire time we were there. We had to ask for refills after waiting for 20 minutes. Ultimately the "final nail in the coffin" was the lack of care given to our party in regard to settling the bill. The checks were split into six different tickets. Every ticket had to be signed. Our server instructed us to only write her tip on one receipt. She then decided to hover by the table near us and wait for the signed receipts. Once signed she proceeded to open the receipts that my wife had neatly had folded and handed to her. She proceeded to berate our table and ask what she could have done better. That is a simple and easy thing. Do your job. Customer service is key in the restaurant business. You did not provide adequate service that deserved a tip, especially if you have to ask "What could I have done better." We truly wanted this to be a great experience, but the only positive was the view of the aircraft landing and taking off. Unfortunately, we will never frequent this establishment ever again, and recommend that anyone who is reading this lengthy review does the same. Exercise caution coming to this establishment, it may not be what it seems. read more

Service - my wife & I have become a regular because of the people. In particular, Christine, who is simply Magnetic! You are at home whenever she is working!

The Thanksgiving dinner was just horrible. Neither the turkey or the ham had any flavor. I felt like I was having dinner at the retirement home. The decor needs updating.

Reagan was awesome waitress! Salmon was perfectly cooked (medium rare) and seasoned. Slab RIBS were extremely greasy with no flavor......really terrible.... Worse of all, all the grease caused stomach issues later on. read more

Although this is an older restaurant the food was really good. We had the special which was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and provided us some of his favorites and helped us navigate the menu. He asked probing questions which helped us make our final decision on what to order. The setting is older, but because it is at an active airport it's really nice to see the places land and take off. The best time to go is during the evening to watch the sunset. read more

I made reservations and went to elevation specifically for my birthday. I was so excited to have the bloody Mary and the delicious food. Both were very mediocre. And the service was really subpar. Disappointed they didn't even bring out any special dessert for my special day or acknowledge it in any way. read more

So I was super excited to try this place. It's been on my list for quite some time now. I went on Valentine's Day weekend so they offered a special brunch menu. An appetizer, an entree and a non-alcoholic drink for $29 per person. I thought that was an awesome deal but you are absolutely getting what you pay for. Maybe even less. The bartenders were very nice but the food was awful. The food took about 25-30 mins to come out. The "appetizers" came out after the food. I ordered a medium rare steak (my mistake clearly) and got pretty near well done. The steak also came with mushrooms and onions piled on top of it, which was not mentioned anywhere on the menu. Is this a Philly cheesesteak or steak frites?? It was advertised as steak frites. Where's the Chimichurri??? Honestly shameful to call this establishment a "chophouse". I also asked for an over easy egg on the side and they were not over easy. Over hard at best. Overall I was severely disappointed with this dining experience. I would like to give them another try maybe on a regular day. It was Sunday brunch after all. But still the quality of food being so low when you're advertising this "amazing" deal is just silly. read more

El jefe was a delicious adventure for my taste buds. Had the special treat of seeing a helicopter landed while on my second mimosa! Her French toast was "over the top" with that special sauce!

Haven't been here in several years and nothing has changed ( that's not a good thing). When you walk in you are greeted at a Very Old hostess stand - really just sand it down and repaint it We had a 7 pm reservation and were told there would be a wait. It was very busy but I'm not sure why so many people were here, expensive and this is just a mediocre restaurant. The wait staff wears old blue jeans and black shirts. Very unruly looking. There is a second floor where part of it overlooks the bar area. As I stood waiting for our table I saw between 2-3 wait staff just standing looking down . I'm sure there must be something they could do. When we finally were seated upstairs ( which was nice as we could overlook the runway) we had to ask and wait for the filthy floor and table to be cleaned ( ummm maybe one of the wait staff that was hanging over the railing could have done this before we were brought upstairs) The tables and chairs look about 20 years old and very worn. There is nothing on the tables ie decoration. Would it be hard to have a vase with a flower ohhhhh or maybe a salt and pepper shaker. The restroom feels like the heat is on, when I mentioned this to staff I was told they've been telling management this for awhile ( it's June and 95 degrees outside) really. On the positive the waiter was nice, until he took my napkin away when I went to the restroom and it took me asking 4 times for a new one. Now on to the food -I ordered the lamb chops and mashed potatoes which were tasty. But That was the only thing on the plate , would it hurt to put a little sage or parsley on the plate for presentation? At least we had silverware- I saw several tables get their food and then they had to ask for silverware geez Soooo overall we will not be back - way to expensive- took tooooooo long to get our food and it was not worth the 2 hours we spent there. read more

An absolute overpriced scam. Because we chose not to pay for a valet service, we had to park very far out walking past their construction site, which my partner in heels did not love. Once you enter, the ambiance is sorely lacking. From where I was sat, I could see an entire room of air filters and maintenance equipment. There were loose wires hanging from the ceiling as well. My steak was well under cooked, chicken over cooked. The server we had was so high out of his mind that both tables on either side of us had two different sets of patrons before we got our $250 ticket. I'm sure this place used to be nice 20 years ago, but it is not anymore. read more

Attended their New Years Eve event where after paying $79 per person, multiple people got sick off of the steak entree and the bartending/mixology was horrible and almost every drink was sent back to be re-made.

This place is very cool! We loved watching the planes come in and out. It was a very unique experience! Our waitress was wonderful. The inside was fine but the real experience was the view.

Need a different kind of date night? Plan a dinner at Elevation- we loved watching the planes take off and land. The margaritas were AMAZING. and the food was good. I got a Caesar salad with grilled chicken on top and it was pretty bland. My husband got a fillet and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The portions were super small and he wasn't full when he left. But he did say everything tasted amazing. Overall, I would do this again in a heartbeat. I Would just approach it, knowing the portions are small and some of the main dishes that are salads are pretty boring- read more
