    I had a few minutes for a small dinner and decided to stop in at Gusto. I pulled into the large shared parking lot and found a spot right up front. When I walked inside, the person behind the counter offered a basic greeting but not much guidance. Maybe she thought I was a regular who knew the routine, but this was only my second visit, and the last one was years ago. She stepped in a little to help me place my order for a Sweet Soy Sriracha bowl with spicy grilled chicken over half rice and half greens. I asked for an empty cup for water. Their setup is simple. You order at one end of the counter and pay at the other. By the time I reached the register, my food was basically ready. Prep time was quick. The cashier stayed pretty quiet. Nobody was rude, but there was minimal interaction with the staff, which worked fine, I guess, for a quick stop. I packed up my food and headed to the outside seating. I opened up my bag and my bowl was a nice size and just what I was looking for. It was a little on the pricey side at $13+ for a chicken bowl, but I'd order it again. Definitely my type of meal. 3.5 Rating

    Polynesian Chili Mango w/ chicken and bbq Sweet Potato Chips and mango limeade
    Tiffani C.

    5/5 Food: I absolutely loveeeeee this place! I've been here one four different occasions. So, far I have tried the queso verde queso, chipotle mango avocado, and Polynesian chili mango all with chicken. Each time the food is just as fresh and delicious! I am completely obsessed with their flavored limeades and the bbq sweet potato chips. I do plan to try every flavor bowl they offer. Service: I usually always order to go, but whenever I come in my order is ready and properly prepared. Plus they always greet you when you walk into the door!

    Sweet Potato Chips

    I stopped by gusto for a late lunch after stopping by the Whole Foods in the complex. The parking lot was quite crowded during this time, and there were quite a few people around 2 PM at gusto, but there were still plenty of seats and service was fantastic. I put in a rice bowl order to go and my food was put together immediately--there was one other person in front of me in line but I was still in and out in less than 5 min. My food was warm and packaged really well so none of the sauce spilt by the time I was home. The food itself tasted great! There was a very very mild kick to the spicy chicken which was welcome, and the rest of the items in the bowl were all delicious and went well together! The sweet potato fries were also very good, and very crunchy! A great place for a quick and healthy meal! In the future on a nicer day, I'd love to eat outside in their patio seating, which seems ample and well shaded!

    The food is always fresh and the employees helpful. I ordered once I arrived and my food was ready in a few minutes. I love that they give you the sweet potato chips with every entree.

    Gusto Decatur is where it is at! Love going in there because the employees are welcoming and kind. Never had a bad experience and the food is always on point. They will always have my business :).

    I tried this place for the first time and I liked it. The food was fresh and very flavorful. The service was quick and fast. The meal portions were good enough for the price. Really love the bowls here. I got the brown rice bowl with the avocado and shrimp. It was really spicy the way I ordered and I liked it. They have the drink machine with multiple options, or other bottled options. The manager was very friendly as were the other female employee who made my bowl. The restaurant was clean and neatly maintained. This one is located just across from Emory Decatur Hospital. This place has outdoor seating too. They do curb-side pickup and take out. Their is plenty of free parking available in front of the restaurant as it sits in a shopping plaza and it's shared. I will definitely be going back again and recommend others to try if you are in the area.

    Chipotle Mango Avocado
    Stephanie G.

    I love the concept of healthy and hearty bowls for a quick lunch and this is exactly what they serve at gusto. First and foremost, they're locals to ATL so we love that! You walk in to order, then go on the other side of the counter to pay. The ambiance is bright and light with modern tables and chairs. It was kept clean as well. Unlike Chipotle, they already have preset items in their bowls. You can also choose salad, brown rice or mixed, or flatbread as your base. I always choose mix of salad and rice and got the chipotle mango avocado with grilled chicken. It was good portion in my opinion and filled me up halfway. I feel like the rice could have been cooked a bit longer since it was a bit under. Also wish there were mango pieces in my bowl. However, there was a healthy portion of grilled chicken and guacamole. I used the chipotle sauce sparingly since my bowl didn't really need it, but it did a nice kick. The best part of this was the chips that every order comes with. There's definitely no room for that so that will be my snack later on.

    I tried Gusto for the forest time and I didn't care for the Jerk Ginger Pineapple/Grilled Shrimp/Brown rice... The restaurant was clean and I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door.. I'm definitely going to try them again but try something different

    * Harissa Lemon Tabbouleh *. So freaking good!! With tofu of course!
    Ann W.

    Okay, I LOVE this place. For 7.15 you can have a fresh salad or bowl with your choice of base and protein. I can't believe I haven't rated sooner. Hubby and I have had shrimp, chicken, portobello (discontinued) and tofu for protein. He typically opts for rice. Me, I am either a mix or with their seasonal Harissa Lemon tabbouleh all salad. While he can finish all of his, I always have a bite or two left. Ordering is quick and easy, download their app and join the other your -#. Sweet potato chips always come on the side. Fresh, and yummy. I have decided every time they have a new seasonal flavor- I am in!!

    Chipotle mango avocado w/ 1/2 mixed greens + brown rice and spicy chicken.
    Andrea M.

    The staff at this location has always been super friendly. They have social distancing markers and wear PPE. They also have a hand sanitizer module at the entrance to their patio area. The quality, portion, and price have been consistent with their other location on Ponce. The concept is simple, more simple than even Chiptole. You pick your bowl or wrap preference, protein choice, and mixed greens and/or brown rice. You will always get a standard sweet potato baggie of chips. For some reason, I have never tried the flatbread wrap before (never mind, my other review did a fact check for me), and I have been to their various other 3 locations at least half a dozen times combined. They definitely stuff that thing to the max -- see my picture. My two fav items are the chiptole mango avocado and tzatziki lemon artichoke as they have a more creamy base. Spicy chicken is a new thing since I first heard of them in 2016, and I definitely do love this addition. It's not that super spicy; you do get a slight flavor kick though. The hubs also saw salmon (for a few dollars more) on this location's menu so that will be my next try. Gusto! had a gift card bond when this pandemic hit so we will absolutely be visiting again (we'd do so despite this reason). Each entree is around $10 so it's pretty reasonable for a fresh, fast causal meal. Though it's not as cheap as Chiptole, you get more of a flavor profile with their pretty fun sauce and base combinations. Plus, their chicken is pretty good like Chiptole. I'm particular with my chicken, and this place has it nailed down.

The onion rings were good too, just served warm. I thought they were making them fresh since the front counter girl yelled back that she needed three orders of onion rings. The service was ok...just like any other fast food restaurant these days. We really don't expect great service from the front counter workers anymore and Skip's was no different. (I will rave on my reviews when I do get great customer service.) We had a group of seven so we had to eat outside as the biggest table inside only seats four and we didn't want to sit separately. It was a cool evening, but was about the same temperature inside the restaurant. All in all, we will be back one day when we feel like taking a drive.

Both sets of my…read moregrandparents, along with my mother and father, came from Cuba in the early days before Castro's catastrophic revolution. I AM CUBANA PURA Y CON ORGULLO. En mi alma llevo tabaco y café con leche. En mis ojos y de los cuentos de mi madre y mis abuelos, puedo imaginar ese mar azul y bello. En mis oídos puedo escuchar aquellos Versos Sencillos, nacidos del corazón de José Martí and later sung so beautifully by Celia Cruz... and again by Willy Chirino. Cubans are passionate, affectionate people by nature, and for us, food has never been just food. Food is family. Food is memory. Food is home. Every summer when I was growing up, we made the long 12-hour drive from Atlanta to Miami to visit my dad's parents, his four older brothers, all of my cousins, and our Cuban family and friends. We usually broke the trip up into two days, staying in some cheap little motel somewhere around Gainesville and, later, Ocala (we had more money by then and felt like royals going from Days Inn to a Hilton.) And as kids, we always knew when we were finally getting close to Miami. We started seeing Cuban restaurants pop up here and there. Then came Calle Ocho. Croquetas. Pastelitos. Empanadas. Medianoche sandwiches. The smells. The sounds. The flavors. That feeling of, we're here. And when it was time to make the long haul back to Atlanta, everybody in our Cuban family who lived in Georgia already had their requests ready. Our car would literally be packed with boxes of pastelitos, especially pastelitos de guayaba y queso, to bring home and share. Because back then, you simply could not find that kind of authentic Cuban food in Atlanta. For years, that was how we brought a little piece of Miami -- and really, a little piece of Cuba -- back home with us. Then one day, my best friend Alicia , una Cubanita TREMENDA, took me to Buena Gente. I remember walking in and immediately thinking: Oh my gosh... I'm in Miami. The smell hit me first. Then the food. Then that familiar feeling I quickly realized I missed so much. Buena Gente didn't just remind me of Cuban food. It reminded me of my grandparents. My cousins. Those long summer drives. Calle Ocho. Boxes of pastelitos stacked in the car for the ride back to Atlanta. It felt familiar in a way that is hard to explain unless you grew up with food tied so deeply to family, culture, and memory. So when I tell you that I take Cuban food seriously, I mean it. And Buena Gente gets it. For this Atlanta-born Cubana, walking through those doors felt a little bit like coming home. AZÚCAR!!!

The remoulade sauce definitely takes it up a notch, but I prefer my Poboy with mayonnaise and they can make it that way. I've never eaten upstairs but downstairs is huge. There's a really big bar. There's a lot of high top table seating. They have arcade games. It's just a great space to enjoy time with your friends. There's plenty of TVs to watch any of the sports games that are on. The bartenders are nice and they really take care of you. Honestly, I think there's something for everyone on the menu. They also have desserts, but I'm not a big fan of the ones that they have. I think the bread pudding is too sweet. Now, if they added a brownie with praline sauce and pecans and bourbon ice cream that would be amazing. Some of my photos are from 2020 to the present.

    WHO DAT in Atlanta!…read more As a lifelong New Orleans Saints fan living in the Atlanta area, I genuinely appreciate finding an official Saints bar that actually pairs the game-day atmosphere with New Orleans-style food. The Po'Boy Shop in Decatur does exactly that. I had visited before and tried a few different po'boys to go, and they were great, but this time I decided to stay and watch the Saints game. That completely changed the experience for me. The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for--Saints fans, good energy, football on the TVs, New Orleans food, and a crowd that was actually invested in the game. It felt like a legitimate gathering spot for the Who Dat Nation rather than simply a restaurant that happens to show football. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and once again, the po'boys delivered. It's hard to beat watching the Saints with other fans while eating a good New Orleans-style po'boy hundreds of miles away from Louisiana. What I appreciate most is that The Po'Boy Shop gives Saints fans around Atlanta a place that actually feels like our spot on game day. Win or lose, that kind of atmosphere makes watching the game more enjoyable. Good food. Great staff. Great atmosphere. And plenty of Saints energy. I'll absolutely be back--especially on game days--and highly recommend The Po'Boy Shop to anyone looking for New Orleans-style food or fellow Saints fans searching for a home away from the Dome in the Atlanta area.
