    Fried Red Snapper And Grits
    Helen G.

    Overall pretty good with delicious flavors, but did have a bit of higher prices and the food, while fresh, took a while to come out both times I was here. I got the Southern Eggs Benedict and the Fried Red Snapper with grits. The Benedict was delicious!! The biscuit bottom was buttery soft, Hollandaise sauce had a bit of acidity and great flavors, and the bacon was generous and flavorful too. The only thing was the second time I came here, the eggs were basically hard boiled, the yolk was solid which for $16 I was a bit disappointed in. The red snapper and grits were similarly delicious, the fish was beautifully fried until crunchy with a great but not too thick better, and the grits came with a parmesean sauce that really tied the dish together and added that extra flavor. The snapper was not as tender as I wanted but was still very good, the only downside was it was $36 but did have a good portion.... Service was good, everyone was friendly and the food came fresh and piping hot. However, both times I came, the food took 20 minutes to come out, and I saw a good chunk of people waiting, which isn't ideal if you are trying to get a fast bite. Ambiance is a casual but nice diner, open for breakfast and lunch. Quite spacious with covered parking right next to the restaurant. Overall the food was delicious, highly recommend the eggs Benedict despite the second time the eggs being very overdone, the flavor was great!! The grits are also delicious, only thing is the price and the time it takes for the food to come. Otherwise very good food!

    Solid brunch spot. We came on a Monday so I assume we missed the in house entertainment. The food was still solid and we had a very nice waitress

    Fried Catfish and Grits

    Grits and Eggs has officially been added to my list of breakfast/brunch places to dine! I was recommended the restaurant from a coworker and it did not disappoint. The midtown location is located in a building with a parking deck attached up the sidewalk for convenient parking. My husband and I were disappointed though that they were not validating that day, not sure if that has been updated since we last visited since previous reviews state that used to validate. The restaurant is a decent size, not too large but not too tight where it feels intimate but not overcrowded. Our server was extremely kind and informative of the menu. My husband ordered the catfish and grits with a side of eggs and I had the chicken and waffles with a side of potatoes. EVERYTHING was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I could've eaten a plate of just the catfish and fried chicken itself lol. We had mimosas to drink from their extensive drink menu. Hope they add a mimosa option with tequila in the future as it appeared to be the only spirit missing. Loved the old school R&B that played at a reasonable volume as well.

    I recently was in Atlanta for a short trip and was looking for a place to grab a quick bite that wasn't far from my hotel. Yelp suggested Grits and Eggs and I am glad I ended up checking it out. I went on a Sunday morning and it was really busy and the line was outside; which in my opinion is a good sign. I walked in and was lucky to get seated immediately since I was a party of 1 and a spot was open at the bar. The restaurant itself isn't very big but there is an outside seating/dining area which I'm sure must be nice when the weather is warmer. There is a full bar and they can make pretty much any cocktail you want. the bartender made a lot of good suggestions on what items were popular on the menu. A customer favorite he assured me were the red snapper and grits& the shrimp and grits. While I'm sure they were yummy, something else caught my eye : the southern style Benedict. You have choice of an English muffin or a biscuit, I posted for biscuit. The biscuit, poached egg and hollandaise sauce were to die for. The service was immaculate; the bartender made sure I had everything I needed and constantly checked on me to make sure I was enjoying my dish. If you're ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend you check out this spot... but do it on a weekday, weekends are really busy.

    GE's Club Sandwich and Seasoned Fries
    Fredricka S.

    I didn't want to write a review before speaking with someone but since no one has returned my call or responded to my email I will review my visit. My FIRST and ONLY visit was on 3/15/24 when I placed an online order for pick up. The website describes the GE Club Sandwich as Turkey, turkey ham, bacon, american cheese, swiss cheese, mixed greens, tomato and GE's special sauce. Choice of white or multigrain bread. Served with seasoned fries. My order was modified with the following description... No Tomato Sauce on the Side Onion ($0.25) Message Please put on white bread add ketchup and mustard packets thanks! Unfortunately, this is not what I received. I literally received a club STYLE sandwich with ONLY turkey, bacon and lettuce! No ham, no cheese, no onions and no special sauce on the side! To say I was disappointed was an understatement! Upon opening my lunch at work and discovering my poorly made sandwich, I called and left a voice message. Then I called again and still no human answered. I then waited 2 weeks...on 3/30 went on their website and send a message via the contact us area but again no response! It's now been a month still no response! What a horrible experience! I will not return to this location and I highly recommend you bypass them too!

    Best breakfast I've ever eaten. Would highly recommend. Great atmosphere and service. Thank you

    Went here for an early Mother's Day celebration with my mom and her fiance and this place certainly did not disappoint. There were things that could've been better but overall not bad. When we walked in it was hot they said the AC and heat fluctuated and it just so happened that the desert was in town. Our waitress Nitra was very personable and gave good recommendations. We started off with the beignets. They had a crisp flaky crust but they were nothing like New Orleans. For the location they were okay, they could've definitely used a lot more powdered sugar. I decided on the smothered chicken biscuit. It was so delicious and the batter of the chicken was so flavorful. The only qualm I had was that it could've been hotter in temperature. My mom and her fiance enjoyed their food, except her fiance said her grits were weren't all that good. Pretty solid experience, some things could've been done better but I heard the downtown location is even better. (It also had an insane wait time so this location was a good intro)

    French toast, grits, home fries, eggs with cheddar cheese
    Sarah H.

    Visited on a Saturday afternoon for brunch with a few friends, table of 5. We were seated after about 10-15 minutes versus the initial 45 minutes we were quoted. Menus were on the table for us to review once we sat down. There were many options to choose from. We all started with waters and I had a pineapple mimosa mocktail. I eventually settled on French toast, eggs with cheddar cheese, both grits and home fries, and turkey bacon on a side plate. We all placed our orders and had conversation while we waited. We saw other tables receive their food and we were excited to get our food because everything looked good. Maybe about 20-25 minutes later we received our food. I shared my French toast with a friend who got the pancakes. The pancakes were savory, the French toast was savory as well although the edges were too tough for my liking. The eggs and grits were delicious. I could've done without the home fries, they didn't have seasoning and weren't fresh. Overall we had a good experience with the exception of service being slightly slow but our server was also a manager so she had a lot on her plate and then the ventilation which caused the kitchen smoke to permeate the dining area. Some of my group eyes were watering bc of it and the smoke smell clung to my clothes. I ordered salmon, yams, mac, and cornbread to go for my husband. He said everything was good and seasoned well.

    We are this today September 15th 130pm. We're seating immediately. Great start right. Okay we sat down waitress came not to long after. She started off so good. Explained the menu. Best items and drinks such. We ordered our drinks i ordered Pumpkin Spice Chai tea & my friend ordered the Passion fruit Mimosa (so we thought). My drink was wrong. His drink wasn't Passion fruit, the waitress made something else. We had to wait for straws ‍. Now time to order our food. We ordered Maryland crab cakes for appetizer, catfish and grits and the ribeye and sides. We waited and waiting. Then our waiter seems to have gotten lost. My drink comes out it was wrong. I asked for water that got lost in translation as well. Okay food meal comes out but no Crab cakes. We had not silverware. Another server had to bring it out to us. We started eating and no crab cakes. Not sure if our server forgot we order them or what but service just went down and it started out so good. I would rate my Catfish & grits 5/5 it was good and the fish was freshly fried. So that was the plus. He asked for another Passion fruit mimosa, a regular came out that also go lost in communication not sure how if he asked for that specific mimosa. He was annoyed and ready to go! So that told me it was time go Food was great but service was just horrible! Not sure if it's a thing here in heart of Atlanta but customer service seems to just suck and I well unwelcoming those like me who travel here and would like to try these places. Will I return? Probably NOT

    We came here before and couldn't get in because of the crowd. This location is so nice. We were greeted on entry and the waiters and waitresses we very very attentive. Two people came and talked to us and answered questions. Once we placed our orders, someone was always seeing if we needed anything. The table was kept clean but they were not overbearing. They were attentive and polite. We received our food and it was fresh and hot each bite from start to finish. The food was delicious. This place is worth a visit.

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.

They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.
