    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I have no idea what this is but it was not memorable and probably $20

    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.

    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

    Variety....variety....variety Every bite was different and delicious!! We shall return. Service was quick and attentive.

    Chicken wing stuffed with rabbit meat. Tasty, but not cheap at $18 for what you see.

    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.

    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.

    (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.

    We spent $200 and ended up eating Mac Donald's after. The only thing that was good here, was the service.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Gunshow

    Planning for babysittter help - how long is the average dinner on a week night?

    Couple hrs tops.

    Do they charge per plate or is a set cost per person?

    They charge per plate. The chefs come around to introduce their dishes and if you want it, they mark on your menu that you had it. The servers do the same every time you order a drink. After you're done, they come collect your menu and use that to… Read more

    Is it casual dress?

    Yes! In fact, when we went it was kind of hot in there with the kitchen right there and it was packed. I wished I had worn shorts.

    Can I take my 9 year old foodie kid?

    I'm sure you could, just be aware that you are seated with strangers as it is communal seating and the food does not come all at once.

    How is the parking situation here?

    There's a lot behind the restaurant with a 2-hour limit. Parking is free there and along the surrounding streets.

    Is the supper menu served all day?

    Do they have outdoor seating?

    When I was there e a few weeks ago NO. However if you wait outside the door and you couldn't get in because they were too booked they will let you order some things from the menu and you can take it to go or you could probably take it next door and… Read more

    Trying to figure out what the price for dinner is since it's Prix fixe. Is there a set price for dinner?

    When I was there in March it was also $99 a person for 10 courses.

    Does Gunshow accept walk-ins?

    No.

    Can you wear shorts?

    I wouldn't

    How much should I expect to spend for dinner for two? About $150?

    It's really hard to say. How many drinks do the two of you think you'd have? Most of their drinks run in the $12-15 range. The sharing size food is served dim sum style, with individual items running from $10-$25. A sample menu to give you an idea… Read more

    Does this place offer gluten free options?

    You might have to ask the chefs, but it is not a guarantee since there is no set menu

    Do they do separate checks?

    yes

    Is there a bar in the restaurant to wait or one nearby?

    Very small, but I don't recall there being an ample area to enjoy a libation. There are some adjacent establishments that you can wait!

    Is this place good for vegetarians?

    I am not a vegetarian, but my answer to you would be no, it is not good for vegetarians. The food is so random, you would be at the mercy of whatever is selected to be prepared that night. (The drinks would be OK though!)

    We were in town for a concert and my birthday, and decided to go for a nice breakfast for my…read morebirthday. Did some online research and kept coming back to Buttermilk Kitchen. Couldn't have been happier with our choice. Reviews I'd seen online mentioned parking is a bit limited and that the restaurant is frequently busy. So we were prepared for that even though we were going on a Thursday mid morning. I think there was an influx of people celebrating graduations because it was in fact very busy. However we got very lucky with parking and happened to come in right as someone was leaving. I was sure we would have a wait for a table, which of course would have been fine, but actually we were seated immediately! Which was super nice and unexpected. The atmosphere is bustling but not in a bad way. The restaurant itself is adorable and has a lot of character. It feels like you're having breakfast at an old friend's house. The service was great and our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. I ordered a specialty coffee, I believe it was the almond joy cold brew, and it was delicious. Strong, which is how I like it and not overly sweet. I ordered the chicken biscuit on the waiter's recommendation and it was absolutely the best fried chicken I've ever had. Juicy and crispy. My husband ordered the pimento cheese omelette and was very happy with it, the bacon was thick cut and smoky and flavorful. The pimento cheese grits that came on the side for me were also a stand out, such great flavor. The biscuits are fantastic and the blueberry basil jam that came with my husband's meal was such a nice touch. We will absolutely make a point to come back to Buttermilk Kitchen next time we visit the Atlanta area.

    TL;DR: Super cute spot with decent breakfast offerings and great staff. Don't go out of your way to…read morecome, but worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. First things first: the Chicken Biscuit. Buttermilk Kitchen's biscuit is on the crunchy, honey-flavored side. I personally prefer fluffier, more buttery biscuits, so this one wasn't my favorite. That aside, the chicken was crispy and well-seasoned and paired well with the cheese grits. If you ever wanted a dry, crunchy version of Homegrown's Comfy Chicken Biscuit, come give this a shot. I also tried the Hash Bowl, which was a bit underwhelming. It was a *lot* of potatoes compared to the eggs and bacon bits, and there wasn't a lot of seasoning other than the bacon. Would rather recommend one of the other options if you end up visiting. The drinks are good as well, would recommend the matcha latte (not too sweet!) and the French Press coffee.

    WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ???…read more It was a HIT I have been dying to try this place out for years and I figured I planned a lunch with a friend so we could spend the afternoon chitchatting and this was the perfect spot. So we were warmly greeted and then taken to a quiet table in the corner that had the whitest tablecloths. It looked rather chic Then we had the best server. She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place. They have valet parking that is only $2. Great place to visit. Until next time.

    Location Carries, Great for Clients, Not for Value…read more Location, location, location. That's the story here. This spot earns its 4 stars largely because of the setting and service. Right in the heart of Buckhead with a beautiful view great energy, well-dressed crowd, and a strong place for a work lunch or client meeting. Service was solid, no complaints there. I'll keep it simple the food was good, don't get me wrong. But for the price, it just didn't match up. This is one of those places that works if you're trying to impress clients or enjoy the atmosphere. Strip away the location, and the food-to-price ratio probably lands much lower. Just my take. Overall: 4/5 great setting, just comes at a premium.
