I've been here twice now and I'm glad we gave it another shot. I went with my family, and this time everything felt a lot better. Our server, Mikayla, was attentive and sweet, and made sure we were good without hovering. I didn't expect such good service because it was super full in there as we went for Easter Brunch . The first time I came, I had a different server and didn't have the best experience, so I was a little unsure about coming back but this visit changed that. I feel a need to mention that the hosts were amazing . There was a older man i did not get his name but i got the girls name, Trinity. She has been there both times i've came and is always welcoming, and helpful, which really sets the tone. The dim lighting and comfortable seating also made the experience even better. Side note: the "Loaded Pancakes" was really good and worth trying. Overall, a much better experience this time around . I'd come back again. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was so different and flavorful. Definitely gave the feels of food made from scratch. It was spacious, parking was easy, although not as abundant due to busy Mother's Day weekend. Our waitress was awesome and definitely will be returning. Had a good time. read more

fantastic food, fabulous new friends, great service and the atmosphere and hospitality was wonderful. Thanks Yelp for the wonderful fanfare event tonight. Thanks to Homestead for having us. The Caesar and Homestead Salads were amazing. The Caesar had sun-dried tomatoes for a different twist and the Homestead with candied pecans, dried cherries, maple vinaigrette and the sweet potatoes and onion slivers was just fantastic. The egg rolls were delicious and the brussels sprouts and cauliflower absolutely yummy!!! I had the steak medium well and it was mouthwatering to die for. the steamed spinach and the homemade fries were just the right touch. my ginger cherry mocktail was the right drink for the meal. read more

Came here tonight when the sun was setting so we sat outside and the view over the area with the sun was truly a special view. We were quickly seated and the service was excellent. The smoked salmon dip was phenomenal! They didn't skimp out at all and gave us a very large portion of salmon and with the oil it was so good. The filet entree was very good and cooked to a perfect medium rare. I got the meatloaf and for some reason I wasn't as much of a fan but, I applaud them for a different take it just wasn't my favorite. Overall I'd definitely come back and always sit outdoors or in the loft! Definitely try this place out. read more

Such a cozy ambiance & friendly service which makes you feel like you're having a home cooked dinner experience. The NY Strip was delicious & the sautéed garlic spinach was perfectly seasoned. Can't wait to come back to try their seasonal menu (: read more

Ate here with a friend during our trip to visit a brewery nearby. We sat outside on the balcony and it was very pleasant. I had the panko crusted mahi mahi that was served with roasted asparagus and rice. It tasted great. Friend had a burger with thick potato fries. The fries were like chips, but soft and well seasoned. Our server was excellent. We were worried that the restaurant might be full, but we were seated immediately and could have had a table indoors if we had wanted that. There is a wine and cocktail menu in addition to beer, and a short dessert list. Prices were high but not unreasonably, I thought. I would eat here again. read more

Food was great, but it's hard to enjoy the experience or want to come back when the hostesses were rude and our server, Caroline, snatched up the check at the end and threw our to-go box at us. Definitely not a great first impression and I'm fully regretting the tip I left. read more

The atmosphere was really unique. Amazing views of the park. Rooftop experience, middle floor main restaurant and basement pub. It's an event in and of itself. Great food and staff. Looking forward to coming back after hiking Sawnee Mountain again! read more

Came to Homestead to enjoy their upstairs patio and bar area. The patio overlooks the whole field where live bands play on stage, and it's a nice view to people watch. I ordered the dry rubbed chicken wings and they came out perfectly crispy. I also had a really good manhattan. read more

Food was amazing. I personally got the tenders and it was crispy and juicy. The service was great. The waiter was always checking on us and was very kind. Clean and smelled really good. read more

Cannot get enough of this place!! Always wonderful, friendly service and the BEST shrimp and grits!!! I order it without question every single time I visit this restaurant (which is often), and it never ever disappoints! Homestead is your go to for fine home cooking and they offer really nice portion sizes, so be sure to come hungry or ready to bring home leftovers (no complaints there). I love to sit out on the back patio which looks over all of city center and the amphitheater/green space. The indoor ambiance and very country cozy, and feels super warm and inviting. read more

Went for brunch and the menu had so many good options. Will definitely be back to try more brunch menu items. The service could have been a little more professional and they lacked in having any latte options for brunch but overall I would go back. read more

First visit upstairs, space is nice, but the openness of the restaurant creates a noisier atmosphere as there is nothing to absorb the sound. I had the Not Your Mama's fried chicken entrée and it was delicious. Prices are on the higher side, service was good. read more

We had a great time. Friendly staff and decent food. An enjoyable time had by all. We had been recommended to come before a concert at the city center, and what a great place to enjoy good food, friendship, and good music. Thanks for a wonderful evening! read more

Located in the newly opened Cumming Ga. City Center, the Homestead was a great experience. An awesome lineup of cocktails and hand held sandwiches. Knowing ahead of time about the burgers being large and juicy we passed on the appetizers and went straight to the main meal. Side note: they sounded delicious on the menu. My choice was the Desperado - a fried chicken breast with melted provolone, lettuce tomato and a shaved red onion topped with the Desperado aioli. Delicious and zesty. Cocktails, you can take your pick of a nice assortment of well crafted tastiness. I went with the 1776 Aviation. Bluecoat Gin, Lemon, Luxardo Maraschino and Combier Creme De Violette. A couple of these and you're ready for take-off. lol But my hit of the night was the sides. The Collards, I know I know, collard greens lol. Look, I was born and raised in the north (Chicago) and never had a taste for them until now. Cooked in Southern Sweet Tea and bacon braised collards. Oh My Gosh! Just bring me the entire pot. I couldn't stop eating them. Whether you like collard greens or not you owe it to yourself to give them a try. Needless to say the dessert wasn't an option after this meal. But not to worry, The Homestead is at the top of my list to get back there and sample some apps and desserts. Tip - Apparently the TIP feature is not working for some Yelp users so until it's fixed I'll leave my TIP here. If you go on concert night there's a great view from the roof top over looking the entire concert area. read more

New restaurant in the downtown Cumming area. Parking in this area can be a nightmare. Look for the parking deck which tends to be the only open spot. The restaurant itself is very nice, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Service was prompt and the menu is limited. I got the filet $55 and it was just okay. There are several other restaurants in the area to try, but would come back to Homestead again. read more

We had another great meal here! Stopped in for a birthday lunch. Weekdays they open at 11am for lunch. It's pretty quiet around Cumming City Center now that school is back in session for Forsyth County. Chloe is our wonderful server. The service is very good. She offered good suggestion's. Best birthday burger ever! read more

Excellent lunch! First time to eat here and we'll definitely be back! The Pit Boss was excellent, very definitely for meat lovers. Sonoma Caesar was just what I wanted read more

I can't comment on the food bc we were never served. Checked in with the host said it would be 15-20 minutes so we went to the bar... Couldn't get a bartender to look at us to get a drink while we waited. Went back to the front to wait, after 20+ minutes, my husband asked the host status of our table, then it was ready. We sat back by the bar, waited another 15 minutes, and no one came to serve us or say we'll be with you. Not sure what the problem was...There were empty tables. Maybe they were short of help. So we left...told the front host on the way out. She could've cared less if we walked out. Not very friendly. read more

Amazing food and drink. Had a spicy Bloody Mary and a Stacked Egg and it was superb. According to my daughter, her burger was not as great as Parma in Buford, but I don't believe her. Had a bite and it was delish!! Def coming back!! read more

As always the service was top tier! Abby was awesome and she made sure our meals were exactly what we expected. My steak was not how I originally ordered it which was medium. It was more well done and they corrected it with no problem. The manager Jason, came by to apologize and make sure ir was better. He was such a pleasure to speak with and accommodating. I was so beyond impressed. Again thank you and I will be back to dine soon! read more

Came back and it was amazing as usual! Bacon was crispy and service was great. Matt the owner had reached out and apologized for the last visit, which was very professional and we truly appreciated . Stuff happens! They had some servers out sick and the day was unusually busy at homestead for brunch. Matt made it up to us, and we will be returning! read more

If i could leave zero stars i would. Staff is incredibly rude. We got to the restaurant put our name down. Hostess said is a rude tone " we typically go by reservations" the restaurant was pretty empty at that point in time. She said 20-30 min wait. So we waited. Over an hour goes by we finally sit down. We immediately ordered food and drinks. We dont see our waitress for another 30min she then comes back and says kitchen is behind 40min. Would have been nice to know before sitting down.... We waited over an hour for food. It never came. We got up and left. Management and hostess were very rude. Its not worth the money to eat here. Its also very dark you cant hardly see where your walking in this place. read more

I want to update my review after returning to this restaurant. The food is pretty phenomenal. Definitely one of the best in the local area. We had the fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato. SO GOOD. My husband had the steak. He said it was a little tough but flavored well. Also, my 2 year old said her macaroni meal was "delicious!" And I've never heard her say that word before. Service was great too. Keep it up! read more

I came here not to long ago with my family. We waited several minutes before a server came to go find the host. The host was incredibly difficult! We had made a reservation for 6 and she tried to split up our party! She wanted us at separate tables across the restaurant! She was rude and seemed not to care that we had a reservation for 6. Our service was horrendous! It took 15 minutes to even get drinks. Our drinks came out wrong and when we finally got the right ones they were awful. We waited a very long time for our food and then it came out cold! The fry's were soggy and gross. The steak was severely overcooked. We asked for medium rare it came out extremely well. The restaurant was dark and there was bugs everywhere! Including in our food! When we asked for a manager our server was very rude about it! After yet another long wait we met Amy. She seemed unbothered that we had such a bad experience. Don't come here. the host manager and server were all horrible. The food is bad and there's bugs everywhere. They don't care about your business. read more

We were seated pretty quickly. Our server brought us our drinks quickly. We were checking out the brunch offered on Saturdays and Sundays. Great options and great sides and substitutes. I don't eat pork and they had steak and chicken options. Everything was flavorful and came out pretty quickly as well. Great for families with kids as well. Indoor and outdoor spaces. read more

Very good service and well prepared food and decent sized portions...Overall a good experience and fair value.

We went to Homestead for lunch on our little Sunday trip to Cumming City Center today. They have a large menu, which included their weekend brunch menu. We came with some family and I got the steak and eggs (poached), my husband got the French Quarter rib dip and my sister got the Cesar salad. The salad was the BEST thing here. I kept nibbling on it even though it wasn't mine. Hubby enjoyed his rib dip and commented on how great the fries are! They were a really pleasing shape. My steak was a bit tough and not as flavorful as I make it at home, but the poached eggs were good! If you go here, definitely get the Cesar salad, it's fabulous! read more

It was my first time. I ordered the eggs benedict. The biscuit was over baked and cold. The portion was very small for the price. I did like the fried green tomatoes, but it was very small. Won't be back. read more

Awesome local restaurant. The place was full of birthday celebrations and families. Awesome atmosphere. The food was exceptional and the service perfect. The braised short rib was "fall off the bone" tender and savory. Trout dip was hard to stop eating!! Trout dinner was perfect . Love there is a great eatery in Cumming. I don't want to travel to Alpharetta, Roswell or farther to enjoy dinner. read more

THE BEST MOST DELICIOUS RESTAURANT. Michaela was our server and she was so wonderful and had the best recommendations. The food feels home cooked but is still great for gluten free or vegan eaters. Healthy and delicious and fills the soul! Our family's new favorite restaurant! read more

I went with a friend for lunch. The service was pretty good. The absolute highlight was the brussels sprouts. Four stars for sure. They were amazing. The other food was okay. I was going to take my son for dinner one night and just took a look at the menu online and they weren't on there. I called to ask about it and the woman that answered said her manager told her they were no longer in the menu. I have to say that I chose somewhere else to go. I just didn't feel like it would be the same experience without that dish. I hope they change their mind in the future. read more

We stopped by The Homestead and had a quick bite downstairs in The Well (bar area) on July 4th. The service was outstanding and our food was excellent. The owner, Matt, was very friendly and welcoming too. We're looking forward to checking out The Homestead restaurant (upstairs) and also plan to return for live music at The Well and concerts at the amphitheater (just outside the restaurant). read more
