Aye yall this a bar lol But my favorite bar on my side of town. Service is what it is but is usually consistent. If they get busy you finna wait tho lol but the waitstaff remembers the regulars and are always accommodating. I've had the burger, lambchops and fries, as well as the wings. The food is standard bar prepared food, and I've never been able to get the Turkey burger- must be pretty good. Drinks are strong, pricey, but worth it. Yall pull up this is a good community bar that draws a decent crowd from the area. They always have a DJ and the crowd can be quite entertaining as well. Right beside the police academy though so yall rock right lol read more

On the recommendation of other Yelpers, I chose to go here for an early dinner & drinks. My Mom, her friends and a friend of the family agreed to meet early on a Saturday to be greeted by a great atmosphere. No cover. Free parking. Yes, read that again. Happy Hour is Tuesday- Sunday...I read that twice too. Our server was recommended - Meyonce (like Beyonce) was too accommodating, helpful and attentive. She helped me get a table, helped with getting our orders in before Happy Hour ended & just checking on us. All the servers that asked by checked in & help pour water or clear plates. She took our picture too. We ordered wings, fries, crispy calamari and the salmon nachos. To drink we all got a margarita- they offer a few flavors. They offer a $5 hookah special which is unheard of and I don't even do hookah! Overall, great time to step out for Cobb locals. The DJ was jamming and music is blasting so don't expect to have an intimate conversation. Food was fresh & tasty. Drinks were really good too. The only ding are the restrooms. Unisex, only 2 available and one had a broken door/knob. This needs to be fixed ASAP. We'll be back & tell a friend! read more

I wanted to love this place. Husband and I went for brunch on a whim to get out the house on a Sunday afternoon. Location is tricky, and I do hope they last, but there may need to be changes. For starters - it gives "grass wall" energy: banking off aesthetics to make up for potentially lackluster food or service. DJ was vibing - played a lot of line dances, so servers started line dancing. Multiple TVs in clusters of 4, where I noticed 3 of every 4 TVs we're playing the same thing with a few seconds delay. Service was great. I believe our server's name was Blake. Very attentive, quick with the communication, no need to track her down. My only gripe is she brought out his food about 8 minutes before mine. Which brings me to the food... For mine to come out later, it was cold, but microwaved. My grits were both hot and cold. Like the gouda cheese I requested when ordering was an afterthought and was the cause for delay. The eggs were room temp, if not on the "cool" side, and bacon was... bacon. Nothing spectacular. He ordered an omelet the he states was cool as well, but his biggest disappointment was the French toast. He asked for a side of French Toast ($8, 2 slices , 4 pieces) and it was both cold, and dry. It was definitely giving "prepped this morning and heated for the order". His omelet was mediocre. Would I visit again? Maybe for a Girls' Night Out, or even a nightcap to a date. I can see it popping for the nighttime crowd. I just don't think brunch is strong enough to really even have a "Brunch" menu. Best of luck to them. read more

This place was ok but I probably won't go back. Looked over the menu only to find out they were out of the entree I wanted. I ordered a drink but they were out of chaser. They had a terrible gnat problem. We moved tables twice due to the gnats. My food came out but it wasn't hot. It was warm as if it had been sitting and waiting. Music and vibes were cool. read more

My husband and I went out for an early date night and arrived around 6:45 pm. We were seated by one of the sweetest servers (I wish I could remember her name!). She kindly let us know that happy hour lasted until 7 pm, so we could still take advantage of the specials. We both ended up having two margaritas, which is funny because my husband is usually a beer guy. But after trying mine, he couldn't resist ordering one for himself! The food was excellent! The only downside was that we forgot to ask for my husband's wings to be fried extra crispy, which is how he prefers them. Still, everything tasted delicious. The DJ was amazing, playing early 2000s Atlanta hits, which was right up our alley. It really set the perfect vibe for the evening! Our server was attentive throughout the night, checking on us frequently despite managing several tables. She was prompt and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I would definitely visit again! read more

The staff was awesome! The food was great, it was a whole vibe! Ended up stopping here after we left the airport, we did not have a reservation, but we were able to be seated right away. The inside looks awesome, however, there is a few tables available to sit in outside. I love the decorations on the inside with all of the mini TVs and the bar is huge. The booths are super pretty because they have the floor material in our pretty color blue. Great for a night to hang out with your friends or even a date night if you're looking for a vibe! read more

This place has tons of potential. To start its really close to my house which is a plus for me, but it's in a plaza which I've seen restaurant business fail over and over. Maybe being backed by rapper 2-Chains it may take off and attract more ppl. Got here around 9pm on a Sunday and there was about 10 ppl inside. There was a DJ definitely doing his thang. I was hanging out earlier at a fancy spot so I got here hungry. We ordered the the chicken and shrimp pasta along with wings and fries. Honestly everything tasted great. The bartender was cool but seemed really busy prepping takeout (Uber eats, etc.) I will try this spot again on maybe a Friday or Saturday night and see if the festivities and crowd picks up. I have ordered the pasta again via Uber eats read more

So I personally won't be back here, but I'd recommend going if you're looking for a somewhere to enjoy music & get a little lit with your friends. It's a "restaurant" but it's more of a club with tables. At least at night. The music was so loud, we couldn't even hear each other. Eventually we moved outside which was a much better vibe. The patio was done up pretty & the music wasn't as loud. We came for drinks so we only had the fries & calamari. Fries were real good, calamari was more breading than anything. The drinks were nice & strong. The biggest reason I won't be going back is bc it felt a bit scammy. I ordered 2 drinks ($12/piece), a side of fries ($5), & a water & my total was $43. The reason I felt it was scammy was bc I never saw a bill. When we asked for the checks, she just told us our totals, then put everything into the system & only handed us the pad to add a tip. Nowhere on the screen did it have a breakdown or a way to see what we were charged, so I have no idea. I'd been drinking so it didn't dawn on me until after, but ask for a physical bill to make sure everything adds up. read more

Was at this location with friends, waitress and management irresponsible id and credit card was not returned to me 2nd time.

Very nice spot!! The vibe is amazing and the waitresses are so sweet and fun!! The service is unmatched. The food... the food is REALLY good!! I ordered hot honey wings, a salmon plate with mac and cheese and a catfish plate with fries. All were extremely tasty.. There was a dj and he did his thing!! He made the atmosphere!!! Our waitress, Meyonce (yes with an M) was amazing!! Extremely attentive and made sure we were good the whole time. You should definitely ask for her section. There's one downfall. The drinks are extremely watered down. We were there for happy hour and after. Our drinks barely had any alcohol in them. 4 stars only because the drinks barely had alcohol in them. read more

Sydney and Tati did an amazing job! The were great with greeting, the service, and made sure to check on us throughout our experience. Great drinks and a complete vibe! read more

Amazing spot!

This was my second time at this location. The first time it was okay they were operating on a limited menu. I got lemon pepper and sweet chili wings with fries. I visited last night after dinner for drinks and vibes. I got the complete opposite. The bartender made my drink to strong. Most people want it strong but it tasted like straight liquor and ice. I sent the drink back and the bartender said no exchanges or refunds. The waitress brung the drink back and said they added "sweetener" to it. Also, some people drinks came in glass while others had plastic cups. They don't give any garnish. My first drink was in a plastic cup the next one came back in glass. The drinks we originally wanted we couldn't get it because they didn't have some of ingredients for it. read more

My family and I came here for a few drinks as a kick off to my birthday weekend. For starters, we ordered lemon drops and a dirty martini. The lemon drops were nothing but sour mix and a garnish. Thinking we'd have better luck with a martini we ordered one but it was olive juice and lemonade. Yuck! Our server, Blake, was very nice but tried to insist there was no lemonade even when there was pulp. We finally ordered a double and soda water and that even tasted like jalapeños had been infused somehow. The most disgusting drinks ever. Our total tab ended up being $344 since our double drink order was $32! Insanely priced for the nastiest drinks. Never again. Get bartenders that are certified. Such a poor experience. read more

Took a long time to receive drinks and food. Servers had terrible attitudes. Place wasn't even packed. It was birthday. Went next door to the seafood spot and ate goo's and had s great time. read more

Food was good. The wings were the highlight of the meal. Sweet Chili and Lemon Pepper Wings were flavorful and had lots of sauce. Fries needed more seasoning. The Catfish and Grits were okay, the sauce made the dish. The grits needed salt and were too thick. It was my first time seeing grits with no cheese, but the catfish was delicious. Service was great, very welcoming and friendly. Ambiance is nice. Restaurant represents 2 Chainz and the owners. Would definitely return. read more

The space was extremely small for the crowd that they tried stuffing into the establishment. The wait staff was extremely rude. The door for the 2 unisex bathrooms didn't lock, so someone walked in on me twice. I was told 3 different seating rules for tables, so I ultimately never got a chance to sit at a table. Finally, I got a seat at the bar for my guest and me. I was told at that time I had to close out my tab because we moved 3 seats over. The 18% gratuity was automatically included on my bill for the 1 drink I ordered. I left at that point. Bartender's name was Derrick. read more

Went to ESCO on Sat 05/25 and ordered drinks from the bartender "Reese*. The drink ordered was a vodka tonic. It was the worst drink I have ever had. How can you mess up a vodka tonic. I followed up with the bartender, who claimed she added vodka. The drink was nothing but tonic. Do not under any circumstances order drinks from Reese. Horrible. We ordered more that a vodka tonic. all were horrible, but I am only mentioning my drink. Ask for Meyonce ..she.is an excellent waitress! read more

Ny made me a birthday drink after not being satisfied with the plastic wear. Not only was the drink strong is was so pretty!

as you see the fish was no completely cooked. I did tell them I didn't want another one, If I could just get some waffles and grits.

Completely and utterly in love w/ Tatiana. Very beautiful with a beautiful spirit. She has shown us great customer service and really set the tone for a great experience. She had me feeling like that girl. From what I can see the other patrons love her as well and even know her by name. The food was also good as well but would definitely come back for just Tati (she knows her way behind the bar might I add). 10/10 read more

Visited this location on a Sat night because it was close to home and I wanted to get a drink. There is free parking but the lot is rather small. It is a club atmosphere with a DJ. it's free to sit wherever mostly or so it appears. I sat at the bar. When I arrived I went to the woman's bathroom which was disgusting/dirty and there was only one. Then I sat at the bar and the bartender make me the wrong drink then suggested that I could keep it as she made the drink I ordered but when it came time to pay charged me for both. Never have I ever had a bartender charge me for their mistake until today. I spoke to the manager and you would have thought this was a court room by the way she was trying to make the double charge make sense. Good customer service would have been to not charge for the drink I didnt order and never drank or just take it away to eliminate confusion. I shall not return as this first impression was horrible. read more
