Always love going here for drinks & vegetarian food! I miss the fried Mac & cheese ball they used to have but they have very tasty veggie wings! Don't bother getting the queso, it's just tostada cheese & it was cold. Definitely checkout the bathrooms, so many good stories in there!
I've been to Flat Iron before and had a fine experience, but my recent visit left a lot to be desired. My wife and I arrived at 12:05 PM, shortly after the restaurant opened at 12:00 PM. However, instead of being greeted with a "hello" or "welcome," we were met with a barrage of comments stating that they weren't open yet. I pointed out that it was, in fact, after 12:00, and their door was open. The lead employee noticed the time, offered a passive apology, but the energy was noticeably different from the initial response we received when we walked in. From what I can remember the food was decent... Nothing rave about but also I was willing to come back... All in all of you would like a side of rudeness and asshole with your food definitely come here!!!! Restaurant theme song knuck if you buck by lil scrappy and field mob While most of the staff did apologize, one employee did not. When I expressed that I was still waiting for an apology from that particular staff member, it never came. Instead, I overheard them mumble under their breath, which I also called out. The atmosphere was clearly off from that point, and it made me uncomfortable. It's unfortunate because I've previously enjoyed dining here, but this experience made me question whether I should continue supporting a place where I didn't feel valued as a customer. While my money alone won't make or break this business, it would bother me to keep giving it to an establishment that doesn't seem to appreciate its patrons. Additionally, I didn't feel confident about the care and energy going into the food they were preparing after such an interaction.
Jess, Thomas, Morgan and Gregory are the best thing to ever happen to flat! Great service and INCREDIBLE food! I come here often and am always so grateful for the fast personable service. They put up with ZERO BS so if you see a less savory review, they were probably kicked out for bad behavior or causing issues with staff or patrons. Bartenders and kitchen staff are always very accommodating. If you have not tried the brunch menu you are missing out but everything they serve out of the kitchen or the bar has BDE!! Flatiron 16 out of 10 I'll be back again (and with friends!)
Very personable neighborhood grill with good food and drinks. We were so glad to see them open on new years day when so many other places were closed. The service was still excellent even with the large crowd
I came to eat here 9 weeks ago when I was housesitting for one week in the area. Flatiron Restaurant and Bar is located on the corner at Flat Shoals and Glenwood in East Atlanta Village. Free parking is available nearby, on the street and at public parking lots. I came here to eat 9 weeks ago when I was housesitting for one week in the area, just down the street from this bar. Originally, I just wanted to get a beer, and I saw a bunch of people sitting in both of the outside patios, so this seemed like a good place as any. I didn't want to sit outside, though, so I went inside and sat at one of the tables. The interesting decor throughout the bar made me laugh - so eclectic and unexpected. I loved it! One of the employees met me at the table, welcomed me to Flatiron and asked me what drink she could get me. I asked for a bottle of Yuengling, which she brought back within 2 minutes. There were three tables inside with customers, and four customers sitting at the bar. While swigging my beer, I got hungry, so I stopped the server and asked her for a menu, which she quickly brought. I ordered a Smash Burger (6 oz. Angus beef patty, beer braised onions, house pickles, American cheese, with choice of fries or tots) with tater tots. I waited about 25 minutes for my food. Normally, I would've been unhappy for waiting this long, but this was a great place to people watch, as I was very entertained by some of the people who came in after 8 pm. During my wait, I didn't even look at my phone at all. I finally got my food served by one of the two really nice servers/bartenders working that night. This burger was made exactly how I like it - medium, juicy, and great tasting. That about sums it up! The tater tots were perfect also, with them fried crispy crunchy yet not being greasy (ok ... just slightly greasy) with no flavor from the oil. I put a little salt on them and I was in heaven crunching on them. I was full when I was done eating. During my time here, both of the servers/bartenders took turns coming to my table to see if I needed anything, and refilled my water glass many times. They were so nice
I went here with a group of 4 a week ago, excited from seeing their Instagram and Yelp pictures. When my parents arrived, my dad swiftly pointed out a vulgar image on the wall my husband and I had totally missed. I thought it was strange and out of place since there was nothing else like that on the wall that I saw, and they do not seem to advertise this kind of image in their social media. Anyway I sat down and went on to the next thing but it did bother my parents. When I asked the server about the specials, as seen all over their social media page, they stated that there are no specials on weekends. I was disappointed since they all looked soo great and I don't know when I'll be back in town. But the menu had some cool items to try as well. My mom got the fried green tomatoes caprese, loved those! The tacos were also good and very plentiful. They were packed! The ahi salad was fresh and good, and the Philly sandwich was enjoyable as well. My husband did mention tasting char, which may be expected with blackened meat I suppose. I did think the bread used was pretty small though, making the sandwich appear small. The jerk wings had great jerk flavor but could probably use some kind of sauce to pull it together, even if just to dip in. The meal was good and service was friendly.
To see Flatiron still here and thriving is a dope sight to see. I came here about 20 years ago when I was a kid and I remember vividly having some extremely hot wings. That memory alone brought me back years later. I ordered my food to go because it was about 8:30/9 on a Saturday so it was already lit. I ordered 10 Buffalo Wings ($14), curly fries ($4) and the Pablo Crusted Age Cheddar Mac ($6). Given that I called and ordered, I can't really give an exact time it was done but once I got there it was ready and seemed to be ready for a minute before I got there. Once I got back home to eat I was intrigued with how much food I got. The wings were nice in size, there was a huge portion of curly fries and the container my Mac came in was huge. The Buffalo wings weren't as spicy as I would've liked but the size of them made up for it. They were cooked very well. If they were a bit more spicy I would've gave them a perfect rating. The curly fries were delicious. Crispy, seasoned just right and it was a lot of them! I thoroughly enjoyed the Mac. The crusted age cheddar was just the beginning. Once i took a spoonful/ bite into the Mac I was introduced to that rich and flavorful cheddar cheese which was seasoned and hot. All in all, Flatiron has some amazing food and seems like a vibe inside the restaurant/ bar as well. I'll be back to get an experience inside next time.
Great food at a great dive bar. Chef Thomas was nice enough to make a vegan version of their breakfast special for me. It was was delicious. I can't wait to brunch here again!
It was late and Argosy was only serving pizza. All I wanted was a quick snack - thank god for Flatiron. I ordered a gin and tonic and waited for my Flatiron curly fries. Not the best fries and a pretty long wait for just fries... but really hit the spot after a couple of drinks. PRO: coolest spot to people-watch while sipping on your drink. Will need to come back again during the day for a real meal, but for now, Flatiron seems to be a typical American bar.
Love this spot! Dive bar vibes but with great food and service. Definitely a new staple for me
This was a nice place to get a drink and a bite! I wanted the spicy fried chicken sandwich, but sadly they were out of it (I visited around 1pm). So, I ordered the Suctopus burger instead and omgggg it was SO good! Very juicy and flavorful. I just was not a fan of the cheese, but still good! I loved the spice kick. The curly fries were very tasty as well. I also had the Georgia Peach cocktail. It was really good but very light. My boyfriend had the quesadilla and stated that it was really good, as well. The waitress was very nice. Parking was a little difficult. Overall, this was a really cool and laid back place for a nice drink and a good burger.
Looking for a punk rock bar with a lot of personality? Flat Iron is the spot. I went to grab a couple drinks and a bite to eat. The menu has the typical bar food but was surprised that it included some items such as a fried green tomato BLT & caprese salad. I being a lover of fried green tomatoes had to order the BLT, it was absolutely delicious. As an appetizer I got the hummus plate and it's filled with pita bread and a variety of veggies as well as an olive paste to go along with the hummus. Definitely worth ordering! They have two bars, one downstairs which includes the dining area & then there is one upstairs that is more for socializing. The upstairs has a pool table for your enjoyment and a beer claw machine! First time seeing one! They have drink specials and I indulged in the blackberry margarita. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable on the items they offered. There is complimentary street parking but if you can't find any there is paid parking lots as well. I don't know the cost as I was lucky enough to find street parking. I definitely will be coming out to check it out for a night out with friends! read more

Ordered the daily special (pork chop, papaya salsa and saffron rice) and the fish and chips. Food was ready on time and bartender was friendly and efficient. Good price, good food. Fries were a bit too salty but overall would order again! read more

Great food. Exceptional service. Wasn't sure about coming here to eat but boy was I wrong. No complaints at all. I don't thing there was one person at the table that said the food wasn't excellent. Will definitely be back. :-). Loved the decor as well. read more
I'll definitely give this spot another try for lunch. I can't resist chicken strips since I was a kid. I especially can't turn them down when they say BUTTERMILK CHICKEN strips. They have a tasty crunchy outer layer that'll blow your tastebuds away. I also loved the tasty addition of curly fries . Definitely a worthy spot for lunch or just hanging out with your crew. Yummy in my tummy read more

BEST WINGS. BEST BURGERS. I do not use these terms lightly, people. I mean it. And when you pair either (or both) of these with some flatiron fries (fries with cheese, bacon, and fresh chopped jalapenos on them, with ranch), you will be in bar-food nirvana. And now that they are non-smoking AND non-kid friendly --- DY-NO-MITE! This place is right up the street from my house and I LOVE it. Yah, some of the servers can be a little surly, but if you get the blue (sometimes green) haired woman, you'll be very happy. Sit outside when you can, just because it's East Atlanta, but if you can't, don't worry, you'll still enjoy yourself. read more

Impossible burger was good. Had a nice charge to it. I have to be careful with that some may say it's burnt. However I liked it. They are tots were crisp. The bun wasn't toasted. The burger with the spicy queso was not spicy at all. read more

This was also another hidden gem after a live performance in Atlanta. I can't even remember what I had exactly on this night. I know we ordered wings, hamburger and a few other items. It was late and I was hungry. It's an upscale dive bar with good personality. Seems like a lot of people from the neighborhood also come here. But I would definitely recommend it as it seems to be a place to have a good ole time. Food was all I point and beverages were refilled quickly. Overall good experience. read more
Flatiron is your typical no frills grunge bar with character. You get this impression right away by the racy posters and animal heads on the wall. It was very hot in the restaurant itself too. I'm not sure if the AC wasn't working, but it made for an uncomfortable sit, especially when trying to escape this GA summer heat. The wait was longer than I anticipated, and it took about 30 mins to get my food during a not so busy time. The burger made up for this. I ordered the Suctopuss with the plant-based patty (Impossible burger). It was delicious. Perfect blend of flavors with curly fries on the side. A little caveat before visiting Flatiron.....the parking situation. It is located in East Atlanta Village where there is limited lot and street parking, especially on weekends. Drive your own car with caution. read more
