Definitely looks like a locals spot. We were seated quickly and our server was fabulous. We ordered a few burgers and waited approx. 20-25 minutes before they came out. I feel like the cook must've been on a break. We ordered them medium and they came out closer to rare. Because we were in a hurry, we just ate a bit (mostly the outside of the burger) and took the rest for our dogs. The burgers were very flavorful but we just couldn't get past that rawness. We would definitely come in again though and probably order the burgers medium well. It looked like a cool hangout out spot in the evenings for a few beers. I believe there is live music as well but I'm not positive. read more

Went to Guston's to watch the SEC championship game and have some dinner. This is your typical neighborhood vibe sports bar. Fairly large dining area, massive bar, stage for live music and TVs everywhere. The menu is filled with typical American bar fare at a reasonable price. Our server, Heather, was awesome. She was very friendly and prompt to get us drinks and refills, etc. We started with the Irish Nachos which were just fine. Nothing special. It was a nice size portion. The chips were fresh and had a nice crunch and the queso was good. Meat was just some diced up deli sandwich meat which was slightly disappointing. Probably wouldn't get these again but might try the regular nachos. I ordered the 911 burger. This thing was ridiculously large with its 2 10oz patties. The meat was grilled exactly how I asked which I appreciated. Under seasoned in my opinion but not terrible. I would recommend this if you are really hungry. Otherwise probably just grab any of the other burgers. My partner got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was excellent. Crispy chicken tenders and the Buffalo sauce was top notch. Makes me want to go back for wings. If you are looking for a spot to watch the game and have a decent meal, I don't think you will be disappointed. Probably more of a 3.5/5 but the portions are huge, prices are good, and the service was excellent. read more

We are visiting Georgia for the weekend for a baseball tournament and this location popped up for us. First glance it was a bit out of the ordinary but we're from Los Angeles so it's a first impression thing. Our waitress was super nice, got our drinks and food in a timely manner. Only thing I have a problem is the fact that I don't know when I'll be back to GA haha. Great food and great people read more

Got to say this was not the best experience tonight. May have just been that we weren't in the mood for dining out. Everything just seemed a bit off. We have been to Guston's many times and usually have a good experience! Tonight it started with the fact that the service was a little slow. We were seated right away, but it took a while for our server to come by and take our drink order. We are just water drinkers usually and after we ordered our waters and appetizer, our server disappeared on us. It took a very long time til she finally came out with our pretzel. I guess the servers have to deliver their own food but we didn't order entrees until after our app came out. My wife and I both ordered burgers. Hers was completely plain and I got the Blackened Blue Burger. Both of our burgers were Waaaay over cooked and incredibly dry. The fries were good but the burger kind of ruined it for me. So strike two on the experience so far. Don't get me wrong. We have had great service and food here before. I could have just been an off night. We also came on a night with live music and we desperately tried to finish before the music started. I'm not sure what the deal was but for a majority of our meal we kept hearing "CHECK ONE TWO, CHECK ONE TWO..." The sound system in this place is really horrible and muffled and I was like "Buddy it still sounds horrible" I wasn't sure what he was trying to accomplish. I became really annoyed and couldn't get out of there faster. This is a GREAT place for bar food but NOT the best place to come for a person who is not ALL IN for a bar EXPERIENCE. read more

Huge. Friendly. Rock. Guston's Grille is nothing short of classic country bar food. Its portion sizes are absolutely worth a mention! When I have come here in the past, I've gotten the Johnny Cash Burger; imagine the width of a Whopper but with a 10oz patty... yum! This time around, I got a plate of their jumbo wings! I got a mix of the Ya-Ya-BBQ and the Lemon-Yaki. The sauce on the wings was fantastic, but the wings themselves were a little too crispy for me. The tator tots, however, were extremely crispy in the best way! My friend enjoyed an item off the brunch menu... the City Slicker Breakfast Bowl. Now this was truly very tasty, but the price for a little breakfast bowl was a little surprising in my opinion. While the food was just average for a bar, the experience was special. The two ladies who served us were friendly and down-to-earth with that true "make yourself at home" southern hospitality. They checked in on us super frequently and ended up giving our table a whole pitcher of sweet tea for free refills (we drank the whole thing). They did a special night at this location where they played exceptional 80s Rock for hours on their stage. The live singers are always so good here... If you live near the Woodstock area and you happen to come by, I would absolutely try and time it to be here during a live music night. You won't regret this experience with some friends! read more

Guston's Grille - Jumbo Wings and the City Slicker Breakfast Bowl - American Near Me - Woodstock, Georgia

got a glass of water, drank thru the straw and a hair -- a long blond hair is still coming out of the straw. See pictures. I have short white hair. Manager called over and he looks and says "I'll get you another glass of water" No sorry, no nothing, just a blank look on his face. Their food score is not that great. Take this place off your list of eateries. My daughter and I just got up and left but did tell the server why - at least she said with a grimace, " I'm so sorry" Manger needs to have c.s. lessons. read more

We've been here before for lunch and really enjoyed it. Tonight we came for the Irish offerings (Happy St. Patrick's Day!!). The corned beef and cabbage was massive and delicious! I would come in alone just for the pretzel! It's not oily, huge, and scrumptious. My tablemate liked the French dip. The service... First, it's St. Patrick's Day so they were really busy. The poor hostess was so incredibly busy clearing tables and sitting people but she kept her cool and was very pleasant. Then our server, who was nice and attentive, proclaimed within the first 5 minutes that he was never working St. Patrick's Day again. We asked later if people weren't tipping and he affirmed that. Tip when they are busy people!! All that said, the restaurant was clean as were the bathrooms. It was loud but not too much so. Families young and old were enjoying dinner. We enjoyed it! read more

I've been here a couple of times. The first time was at night, when live music was playing. We ordered drinks & appetizers and had a great time. Second time was at lunch with a group of 4. Totally different vibe, but still a good experience. Food is solid, service is on point, but the best part is that Guston's feels like a cool neighborhood spot! read more

When it comes to fish and chips Guston's has it made. Their fish portion is generous, really generous. Instead of chips, we always get the onion strings. This time they weren't as nicely cooked; they could've gone another three or four minutes in the oil to crisp them up and brown them. Instead, ours were hardly brown and somewhat doughy. Coleslaw has been improved. They are using a much better dressing making the salad very nice in a compliment. Service, as always is excellent. This is one place where you actually get value for your money and I highly recommend it. read more

Excellent service. Great food. Lots of choices on the menu. Highly recommend this place.

The food here is pretty good. They have a good sized menu with a diverse selection. I really enjoyed my tater tot side. Perfectly crisp and salty. I would order these every single time. Yum! My wrap was a large sized portion that was decently seasoned but a little dry. I would likely try something else on my next visit. The service was friendly but a little distant especially when we were trying to get our bill. I would come back. read more

Wife and I stopped by for lunch. Great service! Wife had fish and chips and I had blackened fish sandwich. Both were great. Server said they had best fish and chips anywhere around. My wife agrees! Thanks. read more

This is a constant go to for great food and service. It does not matter what you order, it is all great food. The French onion soup is a must! I could not ask for a better local restaurant/bar. They also have something going on most of the week - trivia, live music, and karaoke night. I really enjoy coming here to hang out with friends and family. read more

I hit up Guston's pretty regularly, the service is always great, the food's delicious, and the prices don't hurt your wallet. Donny, the owner, is one of those guys who actually comes around to say hi and make you feel like you're part of the place. (Just don't expect him to buy you a beer, LOL.) Yeah, they seem to have new staff pretty often, but honestly everyone's always friendly and on top of things. The fish and chips? Totally worth the hype, big portions and really good for the price. And I've gotta agree with Jeff below... the sexy redhead who hangs out at the bar is absolutely stunning. She usually starts dancing when the band plays on Wednesday nights, she is definitely part of the entertainment. Between the good food, chill vibe, fun live music, and friendly crew, Guston's is one of those spots that's just easy to love. What more do you need from your neighborhood pub? read more

It was a Friday night at 6:30 and the age old question - where to go and not have to wait an hour to sit down! I checked Yelp of course and we decided to try Guston's. It was busy, no surprise there, but they were able to sit us at a booth right away!! Major points there! The menu is quite large, plenty of choices, something for everyone. Started out with the onion strings, delicious. I was torn between the Reuben and the Willy Philly, but the Reuben won out and was stacked! My wife had a delicious salmon salad and my brother tried the 9-1-1 burger. Wow! Was a meal and a half! Plenty of tv's around to catch the game, very comfortable but not too noisy. Was a very nice meal and we'll be back! read more

Never have I had a bad experience at Guston's. It's just good, reasonably priced American food. Unless you have a hollow leg, you won't leave hungry. Our servers have always been very jovial and personable. You're not dining at the 4 Seasons, but you're also not paying a bill that breaks the bank. It can get loud, because the dining room is rather large; that also means you don't feel like the table next to you is right on top of you. There are plenty of TVs to catch all of the sports that are airing. Oh, and be sure to ask for Mighty Mouse. He's a great story teller. read more

Solid atmosphere especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Live music is rocking and room to dance around. Plenty of booth tables with good views of stage. Lots of bar top tables with larger bar, and traditional seating area tables to accommodate larger families too. Spectacular menu with quality food at reasonable prices. Fish and Chips is a simple but favorite of mine. The attentive servers round out a fantastic restaurant any night of the week. read more

No change in my food review, always good. This week's special, the coconut shrimp, is worth every penny. Full-size shrimp, not small or pre-made and frozen, they are outstanding. The tall, busty redhead at the bar is looking as good as ever! read more

Food: 1 Service: 2 Ambiance -0 It was Wednesday and time to try a new bar! Unlike the last two, Guston's was meh .. Not good, and not Horrible. We ordered the peach & liquid M cocktails! The really didn't have flavor. We were totally unimpressed. The wings were cooked crispy like I like, but they too lacked flavor. The French onion soup tasted sweet. Our waitress was AWESOME! It's not her fault! We came, we saw, and will never return.. read more

It's dark, kinda dirty, and just not a very nice place to eat. It reminds me of places I used to go with my parents as a kid in the 90s and I don't mean that in a good way. The service was slow, but friendly enough, I guess? I had a wrap and it was bland, the chicken was very dry and it was cold (even though it was chicken tenders). I was given about 12 fries while my companion was given about 40 (wish I were exaggerating). It really just wasn't a great experience and I don't really care to go back. Could definitely use some updating and a refresh of the menu/food quality. read more

I consider myself an expert on hamburgers so when I say this was the best restaurant hamburger ever, I mean it. I had other meals too and they're good but this burger just made me so happy. Great service too. Very friendly staff. It's also a comfortable feel with good classic rock music playing. read more

This place is a little like a old time bar you would see in the Midwest. The food is typical bar food, it's good, not great and not poor. Most consistent thing on the menu is any type of burger, burgers are best thing on menu. The specials are usually better than the menu. It's a reasonable place to drink. Top shelf Tuesday, $4.99 cocktail Wednesday is half price bottle wine night. They do Triva a few nights a week, but the Trivia guy Mike is obnoxious! Service is usually very good read more

Solid Spot for a Laid-Back Lunch & Good Vibes Had a quick lunch break and decided to try this place for the first time. Sat at the bar--packed house, but the service didn't miss a beat. Ashly, the bartender, was on it! Friendly, efficient, and asked all the right questions to make sure my order was spot on. Took a glance at the plates coming out--big portions, everything looked fresh off the grill. I went with the veggie burger and fries, plus a cold beer while I waited. Classic sports bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs showing the games, but the noise level was totally reasonable. The crowd was mostly 40s-60s, and I ended up having a nice chat with another customer who mentioned they do live music on weekends--rock & roll bands bring the energy, definitely something to check out! Got home and dug into my burger--solid choice, well-dressed, and satisfying. The fries? Okay, my bad--I took too long before eating, so they were cold. Pretty sure they would have been crispy perfection if I'd eaten in. Lesson learned! Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time, I'll stick around and enjoy the fresh-off-the-grill experience. Looking forward to checking out the live music scene too! read more

So here's the deal. I was here earlier this week and the food was great, the staff friendly. Any other night this would be a five star review. However, there's an issue with their trivia guy. Now I've been to hundreds of trivia events. I've even competed in some state wide trivia type competitions. I have never until last night known the political leanings of a trivia master. And this guy was a doozy. His opening speech said that if you cheat "you're probably a democrat". He at one point offered extra points if women would flash him, so long as they showed him their nipples with the caveat that that had to be "a natural born female nipple". Dude, you're gross. Of course maybe this is Guston's preferred clientele and I'm the odd one out? It's a business and they are free to prefer and dislike patrons as they see fit. I don't know. All I do know is that my family likes going out, loves trivia nights, and would have loved to come back here but not if this is the norm. read more

I've been here twice, and both times, the food was delicious. The service was excellent, and it wasn't overly crowded, so we were able to relax and enjoy the food and company. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Gustons' grille is an excellent neighborhood restaurant. There are multiple offerings of choices including pasta, seafood, prime rib, sandwiches and more.

Love this bar. They have lots of events all week with specials. Wed's ladies night with drink special, friday karoke and Saturday live band night. Those are the few nights I know. Large food menu and majority of it is delicious. My favorites are the steak with salad, wings, buffalo chicken wrap, and irish nachos.. yummy. Love coming here its close to home. read more
