Gunshow has been on my list of places to check out since they opened in 2013! I can finally say I checked it out in 2026! The restaurant is located on a corner in the Glenwood Park shopping area. The website notes that they validate a lot located behind them and you can also park on the streets of the neighborhood. I parked on the street about a block away. I was told it was free to park and I didn't get a ticket, however you may want to do your own research on the parking situation. Admittedly, I was late to arrive for my reservation. I live in Cobb county and the traffic was terrible. However, we were still able to have our full dinning experience. However, this is not the type of place you just pop in to. They may be able to accommodate you, but I would not take any chances. I would highly recommend making reservations My party of 2 was seated at a table where 2 other patrons were already seated. We were in close proximity to the open kitchen - which was nice ! All of the staff had great personalities. You can tell that team work makes this concept work. This is not a traditional dining experience. To start- it is a community dinning space. You might find yourself in close proximity to people you don't know. Additionally, while there is a menu, you don't order ahead. All of the dishes are presented table side. The chef that prepared the items gives you the details about the dish. You can opt in or out of trying it. If you opt in they do mark it off so that they will know what to charge you for at the end. I also appreciate the open kitchen. There is only a small glass separating the kitchen from the dining area. You can see everything that is happening! For the food - honestly I loved everything except the banana pudding. It was just ok. I would not have to have it again. We had the following items: Chicken liver Shrimp Oysters Trout Carolina gold Cucumber The beef offering was turned into a fish fish And another item was turned into a vegetarian dish For a total of 12 items our bill was $242.25 prior to taxes. Was it worth it - absolutely! I can't wait to check it out again ! NOTE: our favorite dish was the shrimp dish. It's hard to describe it, but the taste and texture were perfection! I also appreciate that they can accommodate dietary restrictions. For example, I do not eat red meat and the fried I went with is pescatarian. They made some modifications to a beef dish so that we could try the concept of the dish. I love that the chefs get to play around with the dishes to some degree. Gunshow For the win in my book! read more

Food was ok, nothing that blew my mind, didn't seem particularly technical, and imo range of the menu was ok. I feel it would be very difficult for this place to get a star bc don't think the food can be consistent with how it's set up. 1 Star off for that Service was ok Ambiance was casual... I was sitting next to the kitchen watching the chefs work (who were also dressed quite casual). Had water dripping on me from the AC intermittently which def was irritating. Overall was an interesting experience because you get to say no to dishes but imo can get better food and more creative dishes at other places. I think we paid $150pp-ish for everything on the menu. I likely won't return read more

This is a VERY UNIQUE experience. You'll have a chance to see everything on the menu as the chefs who prepare the food will bring each dish to you one at a time and then present the dish to you and you'll need to make a decision if you want that or not. Serving sizes are small and are a good sample size for two people. We went with about 6 dishes for the 2 of us. The service is spectacular as well. A reservation is needed and we marked someone in our party as vegan and they called to confirm the dietary restrictions. Pretty much every dish on the menu they ended up making a vegan option and presented that to us as well! Everything tasted excellent and was a night to remember! read more

I have been trying for the past year to goto The Gunshow when I travelled to Atlanta. Unfortunately due to weather I have not been able to visit their restaurant. This year though a friend was able to stop by and get takeout so I could try their food. I don't know if they normally do takeout but they were very accommodating for me. Let me tell you everything was amazing. The quality and presentation of the food was incredible which is a challenge for takeout. After trying their food I want to visit their restaurant even more in person read more

I was not blown away. The concept is intriguing. Execution not for everyone. For these prices I expect a higher level of ambiance. Service was excellent. The chefs are certainly talented and having them hawk their wares was interesting. read more

A truly unique dining experience that is well worth the trip. Before you go, make sure to take three minutes and actually read through their website (as opposed to some of the more recent negative reviewers who clearly should have just gone to a Waffle House instead). The food is an eclectic mix of flavors and textures that is largely determined by what is available to the kitchen on a day to day basis. As such, it's hard for me to recommend any specific items, as what I had is likely not what you'll have. That said, a couple of pieces of advice: -Don't be afraid to turn down some of early items if there are things further down the menu that catch your attention. The reality is that you will not be able to try everything, so make sure to prioritize; -That said, trust the chefs. Our two favorite items were both things we had not planned on trying, so be ready to shift things up! Oh, and have at least one cocktail from the cart. It's an experience worth having! read more

Gunshow - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Wow, 5 stars for the uniqueness of this dining experience alone. Definitely not for everyone but we had so much fun trying different concoctions from each chef. The only thing I found not ideal is how close you're seated to other parties/how loud it is but I understand that logistically it probably makes sense since each chef has to quickly walk from the kitchen to the diners and present their dish. Food we tried and loved: Shishitos stuffed with shrimp, Barrelfish crudo with huacatay, Crab over Carolina Gold with bacon, and Lamb with fried okra and prickly pear. The only dish we did not like was the chicken liver mousse, which can be a polarizing flavor. I also tried the toasted old fashioned, which was phenomenal. Very cool they have a bar cart, and also some NA options. Service was exceptional - friendly, funny, and attentive. I can't speak too much to $ as my friend very kindly treated me for my birthday. They also put a candle in one of the desserts we ordered and added Happy Birthday to the top of our menu to make it a little more celebratory. read more

For those with a varied palate or adventurous foodies. Make reservations. Parking can be limited based on time of day with close street parking with a lot in walking distance. Staff are very friendly. Unique experience with chefs bringing prepared dish to the table to describe. You let them know if you wish to keep it. The dishes have spins on them in how they are prepared. Only pay for the food you eat. Prices are comparable to a full plated dinner although each plate is sample size. Rustic setup with open tables. Menu changes often. read more

What an odd dining experience. I had no idea what this restaurant was about - my friend wanted to go and said it was like dim sum places that wheel around food to you. Let me set the scene - seating is in an open concept room, long tables where you will be seated close to other diners. Depending on where you get seated you could be feet away from the open kitchen or inches away from shelves crammed with kitchen equipment and non perishable food. The day we went in July 2025- the theme was cargo shorts and tees. Every single waiter were in knockoff rei cargo shorts that flattered not one of them. Odd. The menu is basically whatever chef thought of that week - with a farm to table theme while "playing against the rules" with flavors and textures. While prices are exhorbant, the portion sizes were miniscule. Each course is presented to each party dining in with wait staff taking a plate of food from the kitchen, and either waiving it a mere foot from your face or setting it on the table in front of you while talking over it. Its truly a germophobes worst nightmare and with covid making its appearance again this summer...the hygiene of this place and the plates of food presented was concerning. We were seated next to the kitchen and saw only one chef with a glove. And I mean singular- a finger glove at that. My home economics teacher friend with me who teachers kitchen safety to high-school students was appalled at what she was seeing in that kitchen. The food was okay...nothing memorable except a duck stuffed chicken wing. In fact, my friend and I decided to leave e before all the courses had been presented. We were hungry and not willing to pay anymore to eat food that may or may not get us sick. The overall vibe was just off too. It reminded me of the worst parts of my hometown of seattle. Pretentious hippies who feel like you should be grateful to be graced by their presence. The manager came up to us when we paid our bill and asked if we wanted recommendations for other places in the area- in an oddly condescending tone. I literally could have bought every single dish they offered that night and my bank account would have been just fine. I refused to spend my hard earned money on a place that was overpriced, filled with an off putting aura, and didnt practice basic kitchen hygiene. What a Disappointing, expensive, and strange experience. Note- I went to velvet taco right after and had a great taco combo meal for twenty bucks and bad a much better time and enjoyed the food more! Pictures posted to prove i was there. read more

When I heard about this place I had no idea what to expect. I think even when I got there it was not what I was expecting but it did not disappoint. Gunshow is definitely a restaurant for the adventurous foodie. If that's not you, I don't think you'll have a good time here. From walking in the staff is so nice and energetic. The chefs are super excited to describe the meals. Everyone around you is having good time and you can see people's reactions to exploring these new flavors at the same time as you. The dishes here are unique. Not all of them were my favorite but others in my party enjoyed them. I can't even describe a specific dish because the menu changes. What I can say, Gunshow finds a way to pair flavor profiles that you don't think would work or haven't thought to pair. French Toast Froi Gras? Sounds interesting but it has been one of the best and well balanced dishes I've tried. Their cocktails are delicious and the food was a fun journey for my palette. Definitely recommend checking them out read more

Been wanting to try this place for years finally got a chance to go tonight with my son because we're both foodies, we're both chefs and we wanted to see what they brought to the table. They brought their A game for sure!! what a great experience. This is a casual very open place with a plethora of chefs, each creating a specific dish that they will bring to you and you choose whether you want to eat it or not. The menu is written to where you just check off what you got and you go down the menu and each chef will bring out the dish they created, describe it in detail and then you choose whether you want to eat it or not. Unfortunately, my son and I could not refuse anything, but we did turn down one which I can't remember what it was but this place is fabulous! Yes, these are two bite samples, the taste, and the creativity is exquisite!! These chefs brought things to my pallet that I cannot reverse engineer, and I saved every morsel they brought to the table. Literally ordering nearly everything on the menu, from custom drinks, made tableside to each entrée appetizer or dessert, sample dish, each one presented by the chef who created it this is what foodies live for. If you're going there to get filled up on hamburgers and chicken fingers, please don't go.!!! It's not for you. Especially if you spend four to $500.!! From the hostess Gabby, who was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable to begin the plethora of chefs each behind every dish that they passionately created and tried to sell it to you at the table, so you will check it off on the menu, I love the passion within the chefs minds and the creativity they came up with the dish We were actually too full when we left so those who say they had to go to McDonald's or something after they left because they didn't get enough and they don't understand these savory morsels that are coming out of the tiny kitchen, they only ordered three things because they didn't want to spend the money. This place is for those who enjoy excellent flavors creativity gastronomy, lemon foam to sauces that are unbelievably savory and delectable. I will post all my pictures if I can remember the names of all the dishes, but the menu changes weekly so it's not like you come one week and go back the next week for the same thing. This is an experience, an adventure, a step in time for a culinary experience, unlike others. It's not a fancy place so you can dress casual they don't care, The crafted cocktails were absolutely delicious, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this experience. Yes it's expensive. But it is definitely worth it. Highly recommend.!!!! read more

Came in for dinner tonight as a party of 3 to celebrate 2 bdays. I'd been wanting to come here for a while and relished the oppty, expecting to love the experience based on everything I'd heard and read. Unfortunately I left only liking it, and not certain it's an experience really worth repeating. To start, making a reservation through Resy was simple. Per usual I appreciate being able to call out the occasion, share allergy info, etc. I further was impressed with the phone call to confirm the names of those whose bdays we were celebrating, as it was printed at the top of the menu. We arrived for an 815 reservation at 8, into a mostly empty place with only 4 parties or so were seated, and was promptly asked to wait. Instead over the next15 min we saw several parties arriving after us get seated instead. I understand having time slots and expected seatings, but the chefs and wait staff were already there, the menu was already set, so why the extra wait? Upon being seated we were explained how it all works, which I had a vague idea of already of various chefs and dishes being presented over the course of the next hour (spoiler alert, it actually took quite a bit longer). The drink menu was interesting, and clearly experimental, and aside from Corn was quite good (in all had the Peach, Blueberry, toasted old fashioned and the non alcoholic Corn). Menu items were all pretty inventive, however portion sizes and pricing varied dramatically, and not all that sensible. The $13 summer vegetable, which we skipped, was largely nothing more than a minuscule portion of random garden vegetables. The $26 veal was very good, but the 2 pcs were smaller than nigiri pieces. The American unagi was a very small pc and also came in at $26. The shrimp dish was very enjoyable and was one of the few items where taste/portion size/price aligned harmoniously. The chicken wing stuffed with rabbit meat was my personal favorite, the pork dish everyone enjoyed but took an extra 30 min to come out, long after we'd been through everything else, a perfect example of how the pacing just wasn't very good. From the dessert side the banana pudding was truly fantastic tasting. Service wise, most of the waitstaff were friendly. However small details consistently got missed. I asked twice for a slice of lemon for my water, it never came. The presentation of plopping down 2 plates at a time, and taking 1 or both back, seemed tacky at best. No one seemed to really care if you ordered more drinks or not except for the "bartender" working the cart, we had to flag down a waitstaff to ask for another drink. We noticed multiple tables with a candle at least for the dessert to mark a bday occasion, yet we didn't get one. Am I nitpicking here? Sure, but it's supposed to be a finer dining experience right? Lastly they charged for an item we didn't get. All in all, was the food good? Yes, def above avg. However value is lacking, and too many details were missed to justify a $330 meal for 3 ppl. read more

We had a fantastic time. Family after Christmas dinner... came here for our second time. The first time we came here, we had a group of 14. Because of the size, we had a fixed menu. This time, we had 6 of us and got to experience the full gunshow "experience"!!! There are 4 chefs who create and prepare their own dishes. They each take turns coming to your table explaining each item. You order the ones you want (now we ordered all!!). They are all small plates so you can share...Tonight was special because Madison's friend from culinary school in Seattle is now working here, Tristan. The entire staff is delightful. Favorites from this menu tonight (see my pics for menu): lamb, oysters, chicken liver, sunchoke, cabbage with the clams! Banana pudding was yummy with the meringue. read more

This is my third review of Gunshow. Our CA family was in town for Christmas. All four are foodies so we took 'em to Gunshow. Like everyone we've taken there they loved the format. Chefs bring their dishes to the table and describe them. Each diner says "yea" or "nay". We said "yea" to the whole menu as the chefs came around. A particular winner was the beet root dish; a dish none of us would have ever ordered off a menu. Outstanding. It was a great experience and we'll continue to praise Gunshow. As an aside, I wish I could include the date; Yelp assumes reviews are on the day of the event. Our visit was December 26th. read more

I absolutely hated my experience. I wouldn't recommend anyone this restaurant. I have spent the better part of my life in the restaurant business and I give them honestly 1 star. I traveled from Washington DC to try this recommended restaurant and I just say no to this experience. First and foremost the food. Unremarkable and 0 and I say 0 on taste, texture, and general overall flavor. The ingredients are farm to table but honestly I looked at their supply and they're using the lowest grade ingredients. Cheap and inflammatory. Next service. People on here rave about the service but I find it comparable to Applebees. Attentive? Not necessarily. Last concept. I have worked in concept kitchens but this was a mess. I was by the chefs preparation area and just saw the mess of kitchen and the type of communication from the chefs abyssal. Note: Restaurant is a la carte from ranges of food costing 16-45$. EXPECT TO SPEND 200 per person. Don't come if your budget is below 200 per person. Michelin guide please remove from recommendation. Adding photo just to prove that I came. read more

Gunshow - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

(2024 Review) Super unique concept, kind of similar to dim sum as they describe but not really? They come around with one dish at a time and u decide whether u want it or not. Ngl we had to get used to saying no so we said yes to the first 2 dishes LOL but luckily they were delicious!! Honestly I loved it here a lot -- food reminded me of fine dining with how unique and detailed each dish was (also expensive lol our tab was like $140 for 2), but vibes of the place was SUPER casual and laid back. Service was great too!! Also if you initially say no to a dish but change your mind, you can ask the servers and they bring it out back for u :D I also liked how the menu was written out lol. I would love to come again if I'm ever back in Atlanta to try their changing menu items. read more

I would really rate this 3.5 stars but since yelp forces you to do whole star ratings, I'll go with 4 just because the vibes were really good. When looking for where to go in Atlanta, Gunshow kept coming up. We had a hard time finding more information but decided if everyone else loved it, we had to check it out. The experience lasts about 90 minutes. You get a menu with 10 core dishes, 1 specialty (ours was more expensive, caviar - not sure if it's always the case), and 3 desserts. It seems best to do with an even number as the plates are meant to share between two people. They come around, not in the order of the menu, show you the dish and explain what it is and then you can either take it or pass. The concept is really fun - a choose your own adventure tasting menu where you are only charged for what you decide to eat. Some of the dishes were incredibly creative but truthfully nothing wowed me. They seem to rotate quite a bit so I would totally do it again, just because it was really fun. While I wasn't particularly taken with anything this time, there's a good chance I might next time. The atmosphere is chill, almost like a high end cafeteria with longer tables you may share with strangers. It's fun to be in closer proximity in this space because even if you pass on something your neighbors might not, and you get to see their reaction and potentially have some regrets for passing (if you do pass then you don't get another chance to eat it). All in all a very cool experience! read more

Gunshow - Menu for Jan 17 2025 - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This was an experience, it reminded me of Fogo but instead of the meat, fine dining meals. I really liked you don't have to get everything the chefs bring out to you and you see the price ahead of time, some things I didn't think I'd eat but after the Chef presented the dish I had to get it and most of the time it turned out to be delicious. I wasn't a fan of the horseradish ice-cream but the caviar on top was excellent. The majority of what I had I would get again, the service was excellent on top of that and they didn't mind if people shared one dish. I was able to try out so many dishes and new foods I've never had before but always wanted to eat. Now if you're a small party you may get sat next to someone, we ended up at the counter and were able to watch the chefs create their meals, that was actually a nice change of pace it felt like a much nicer version of the Chef's tables on the show, Hell's Kitchen. The menu does change so I will go again when they switch up the menu. read more

Been twice. First time was excellent but the second time was average. It's quite the experience though.

I think we were the victims of a practical joke. Cocktails were good. Service was great. But a good 60% of the entrees seemed to have some kind of prominent fish sauce or fish flavor. One of the desserts too--some kind of gelatin square--tasted like fish. Ironically the eel entree with peppers was lovely. Slight fishy flavor with the other flavors melding well. I've had other $200/person dining experiences, and this one doesn't hold a candle to any of the others. read more

Gunshow - Menu and fishy dish - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Pretty special and unique place. Everything that was presented to us we got at least one dish most the time two dishes (two couples). There wasn't anything I didn't like, even some of the dishes I didn't like the sound of. It's very fast paced which is exciting, but you have to make a decision quick on if you want the plate. I think some of the chefs could have spent a moment longer explaining what the dish is and speak up as it's a loud environment. Not everybody is familiar with obscure dishes or ingredients. Would definitely go back with others that haven't ever gone but won't necessarily make it a point to come back otherwise read more

I will give Gunshow a a solid 3.5 food was delicious dont get me wrong, smaller plates but i felt like the 9 or 10 course meal or whatever it was was just tiny portions. Everything kinda felt gimicky to be honest, the old fashioned was not bad. Service was great as well, all in all i think for value for money it was meh, but glad i went. read more

General: I really like this place, I wish I could give it 5 stars. I think the 4 or 5 star is a prioritization thing. Gunshow offers a lot of unique creations, but they're not necessarily delicious. I'm relatively new to fine dining so maybe it's my palate. I think some of the food was very good but some were disappointing. What all the food shared was a focus on chefs offering us new flavors we've never tried before or new interpretations on a dish--truly an interesting, dedicated, creative, fun restaurant and that's why I'd definitely recommend this place. Service: The staff and chefs are incredible, the energy here is so lively. You can tell everyone carries such a celebratory, communal spirit for food, it's pretty cool. I'd say the chefs seem in a bit of a rush so they'll quickly explain dishes, but they're also very open to you asking questions. The bartenders are great as well! Ambiance: Loud, bench style seating, animal stuff on the wall, clean. You'll be seated with other people and we conversed occasionally to the couple next to us which was really fun but also you don't have to. If you would prefer a quiet or more private experience, ask to be seated outside when you make a reservation. Price: we (2 ppl total) ordered almost everything; said no to two dishes (for two ppl, you order one order), and got a cocktail. It came to $265 excluding tip. That caviar is $45 tho, compared to other dishes which were $14-20, so that added a lot. Parking: there's a parking lot in the back that is free, if full, you'll have to find street parking which isn't the easiest here but also not too bad, if you're willing to walk a little. Note: The menu changes often so I'll just leave my reviews on specific dishes on the caption of pics. read more

*date night tag* Great dinner experience with a twist! We loved the concept that the chefs themselves come up to you and offer up their dish for your tasting pleasure. We really loved the variety and the option to say no to dishes (although this was quite hard sometimes, everything looks so delicious) it's hard to recommend individual dishes because another key feature is that they consistently change their dishes! Great fun lively atmosphere, although it's not the typical fancy, dimly atmosphere if that's what you're going for, a bit more casual. read more

While the idea of Gunshow was really intriguing and that was the reason for our visit. There were not that many dishes we loved.

I don't know if I would seek it out again. read more

4.5 stars. Really cool. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Horrible parking but that's to be expected. The food was experimental and executed well. While not always to my personal taste, I appreciated the execution and innovation. The tastiest dishes in my opinion were the gulf shrimp, the raw fish on toast with some sort of mousse , and the blue fin tuna carpaccio. The foie gras was also flawlessly executed and absolutely delicious. It was a special occasion and the staff was really sweet and included a lot of personal touches to acknowledge the occasion. Definitely worth a try. read more

There is so much hype surrounding Gunshow. A Michelin-recommended restaurant that features a unique serving style, Gunshow is beloved by foodies far and wide. Does Gunshow live up to the hype? Not at all. This restaurant is both overrated and overpriced. The food is decent, perhaps just barely deserving 3 stars. But when you also consider the steep price tag, it turns out to be a 2-star experience. Guests sample a myriad of small-sized dishes, none of them particularly memorable. This is what we tried: Good (Grade B): Banana Pudding Bluefin Tuna Pretty Good (Grade B-): Liberty Lamb Pecan L'Ambroisie Just OK (Grade C+): Steelhead Hickory Hill Sunchoke Nantucket Bay Scallops Foie Gras OK verging on weak (Grade C): Bramlett Trout Bang's Island Mussels Duck Confit Chicken Liver For a 4-person meal devoid of alcohol, we paid $462, before tipping (22 small to medium dishes, water, and one mocktail). Please see our attached photos, which include all dishes served except the duck confit and lamb (forgot to take their pics!). Gunshow underdelivered and we won't be coming back. read more

Where to begin. I thought I was being PUNKED the whole time I was at this restaurant. This is, by far, the NASTIEST FOOD I have EVER been served. I am not a picky eater either. I have tried sweetbread (cooked brain), alligator, escargot, and more. I am adventurous. And my thought is this - if this is really a Michelin chef's menu, then they MUST know they are pranking people with this. Chicken liver mousse cannoli???? Smelled like a fart. Bone marrow nuggets were fatty and chewy. Scallop buried under nasty creamed stuff and was undercooked. There was a pasta ravioli thing with corn that I thought MUST be good. NOPE. They really managed to make everything taste bad. Even the drinks were bad. Everyone who ordered alcohol did not like their drink. Flavor profiles were weird and did not taste good, even the "light" drinks they told us were easier to drink were WAY too strong. Like a straight shot of shit. Call me a peasant. Call me tasteless. I don't care. The flavor profiles were NOT good. The cooking of the meat and seafood was NOT good. There was a piece of duck on one of the plates - wonderful, finally something non-offensive I can eat. It was dry, chewy, and overcooked. They even managed to f*ck up the banana pudding. It just tasted like burnt bananas. You guys, the bill came and it was $1,800 (for 10 people). If you really want to spend $180/person + tip on the NASTIEST, MOST DISGUSTING food I've ever been subjected to, be my guest. I'm sorry if the chef reads this and is offended. I'm sure he is a talented chef. But by that very nature, that's why I am SO confident that he designed this menu on purpose to prank people. Maybe a play on the perception of food if it is priced highly and served in a fancy manner (note: the servers were very friendly and the service was great). But the dishes weren't even plated nicely. Just look at the pictures - super unappetizing appearance. Regardless, maybe the chef is making an artistic statement about serving people shit and they will still paid upwards of $1,000 for it given the Michelin star name. It's wild. Crazy experience. The best part was the Emmy Squares pizza and the Jeni's ice cream nearby to close the night! read more

I really wanted to love this place -- I heard it had a unique dining experience and was intrigued to try it. Unfortunately, Gunshow gave me an air of pretentiousness without quality in food or flavor, in the back drop of a casual rural diner. What makes this restaurant "unique" is its dim sum style service. Each chef brings out their own dish and asks you whether you'd like to try it and you can see it before you agree. They won't come back around to serve you if you like it or if you say no the first time, so you're pressured to get all the dishes. A fine capitalistic way of serving food for sure because your check will rapidly accrue. I wouldn't have minded the price and style of the dishes were consistently good. I think this restaurant isn't for the faint of tastebuds. I only recommend it if you like genuinely unique flavors and game meat. If the following appeals to you, then it's your type of restaurant: chicken liver mousse, antelope, chicken gizzard, granita. Even the more mild sounding dishes weren't appetizing to me; lettuce wrapped pastrami, pork donut in a pool of beef soup, corn tart. Despite the price and style of dishes, this is not a sophisticated dining environment. Would recommend dressing casually, as you'll be seated at a dining table with others, with animal heads in the background, crowded and raucous, much like a country diner. Overall wanted to like this place so bad but I won't be returning personally. read more

Purely a hype place and I place a lot of emphasis on hype. Food quality for the price point is average. Took a customer here as they wanted to go, they apologized afterwards and paid the bill. I'll leave it at that. The younger millennials and Gen Z who come for the instagram pics will love it. Honestly why do people love taking pictures of their food and sending it out to their posse? read more

We went to Gunshow because the concept was different and interesting, and we did think that the food was well made and the dishes were really unique. The bartender was amazing and I thought the bar cart idea was probably the best part. Unfortunately, there were also a few things that I didn't like though. For one thing, it can get pricey really quickly... it's hard to say no to a chef who has brought you his own creation and set it in front of you.. and it's hard to discuss with your table if you do or don't want it because the chef is standing right there. And for that matter, at least the night that I was there, I don't remember seeing any women chefs, which I know isn't that relevant usually, and overall I'm sure the percentage of woman chefs is really low... but in a scenario where you're incorporating your chefs into the presentation of the food, for me, it would be nice as a patron to see some diversity there..? I'm sure most people wouldn't really care about this though, so it might be a moot point. Also, our waiter would take away dishes really quickly. There were two instances where he took away a dish that we hadn't even finished yet and was gone before we could stop him! I'm not sure if he didn't see the food still on the plates/bowls but after that we would stick our forks into the dishes we were still working on any time a waiter was coming around so he wouldn't pick it up lol. I did think the food was very unique and the chefs are really talented, but I think based on the other stuff I won't be returning. read more

The gun show is a dining Mecca in Atlanta. The outside is very unassuming and the interior very minimalist. Your food comes kind of dim sum style: they bring prepared small dishes to your table to accept or refuse. Each night a handful of chefs prepare signature dishes to be shared at your table. The creativity of each dish served felt like being at a magic show. Each food item was more amazing than the previous one. We learned the history behind the name of the restaurant - the owner's father used to take him to gun shows when he was growing up. It was from this fond memory the name of the restaurant was born. The food was amazing but the price will leave you in sticker shock. If you're in the ATL check this place out. read more

Gun show has a unique concept - if you're a party of 2, you are seated across from the other individual and you decline or accept dishes as they come out. The plates are small, almost like tapas, so prepare to eat a lot and stretch your palate. The staff were friendly and the dishes were creative. We we're surprised a few times since the descriptions are brief. For example, one dish mentions lamb but it was a lamb sausage. Everything we tried was good. I had about 3 drinks and some are made table side. read more

I reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy wanted to like this place but honestly it was just... Eh. My friend LOVES this place - he said it was one of the best meals he's ever had - so he really wanted to take me. However, he came during the pandemic when it was a prix fixe menu instead of normal operations so he was slightly confused. The menu rotates every once in a while and so we literally got everything on the menu (except dessert, it just didn't speak to me) My mocktail was kinda mid and the service was okay. It took a while before our first dish came and there were large gaps before when our next dish showed up. The dishes I liked: The tuna The cauliflower crab The uni Mid: Most everything Disliked: The cacio pepe (it was not cacio pepe and I was kind of mad it was even called that The okinomiyaki - the batch we got was so disgustingly salty we sent it back twice. We had our table neighbors tried it because they had theirs earlier and said it was good and they were like "this is just salt" Overall - I liked how innovative it was, but maybe it was just the menu I got that day, it just wasn't great. read more

Visiting Atlanta again and finally landed a reservation to dine in this casual restaurant with a premier and upscale menu. I loved the concept of several chiefs coming by the table to display their creations of the day. It's hard to say no when each dish is presented, especially if you are a real foodie and enjoy a variety of exotic flavors. The small plates can be shared with your group, but pace yourself, because it's easy to over indulge. The creativity of how the meal is prepared along with the exceptional service will certainly be cause for me to return again. Despite Gunshow Resturant being a little pricey, it's worth the experience. Prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! read more
