We were stated right away early on a Friday night. We ordered drinks, a tempura shrimp salad, a grouper sandwich, and a Mediterranean panini. Chips and salsa right away! We had a great time, service was nice, and the ambiance and music was super easy and welcoming. I'd definitely come here again!! read more

At first glance, the restaurant's location in a small strip mall might give off a somewhat unassuming vibe, but after reading a glowing review, I decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad I did! Once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by how charming, clean, and beautifully decorated the space is. The food was absolutely fantastic! I had the fish tacos with homemade chips and a bowl of creamy potato soup, and everything was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. A wonderful hidden gem in Clayton Georgia read more

First off, the staff was great. Excellent service. My beef (or in this case, lack of it) was with the special I ordered. I get that some places serve paper thin steaks, but once you get over the $20 price point I expect one at least thick enough to cook to a preferred temperature. Nope. Thinner than a waffle house steak, of course no chance of cooking anything but through. It wasnt even so much that ot was a small portion, it just had no chance of being cooked well. The blue cheese crumbles and sauce were in greater quantities than the meat. This review is honestly 1 star food, the saving grace here was the servers. read more

Wasn't good, customers service was not appealing. Especially for having only 2 people in the place. Couldn't imagine how it takes so long... but when you get your food it's over cooked and has all the char and grease that the uncleaned grill has left over on it. When I asked for my item to be replaced they talk trash about it wait 15 mins then re make it. It's not hard to put chicken in a wrap. Sorry but I do not recommend read more

Our first visit here - "fresh food with a flair" was a good tag line. They had a great menu, from burgers to paninis, pasta to Mexican. We ordered the fish n chips & chimichanga. Food was fast, good presentation & delicious. While the fish was an average portion & cole slaw was average it was great. Chimichanga was tasty, different flavor than traditional & very fresh. We decided to splurge & order the Sopapilla for dessert, it was delicious. Service was friendly & efficient. We will be back again! read more

Service and presentation, as always, were excellent. Decided to try the black and blue ribeye steak special. Ordered medium rare and got well done. Partly, I think, because the "steak" was only about 1/4" thick. Premium steaks are usually 1 - 1 1/2" thick. The Brussel sprouts were bitter and the "loaded" baked potato not very loaded. Salad dressings were served in tiny portions and both bleu cheese and ranch were watery. "Chips" served with the fish and chips were a little soggy and the fish was more batter than fish. The best food today was the fried chicken that came with the salad. I wonder why fried chicken isn't on the menu? The salsa served before dinner was bland. I'm not giving up in Ishy's but next time I'll bring a fresh Jalapeño for them to dice and add it to the salsa. Then I'll order the chimichanga! read more

Read the reviews and was like, I'll give it a go. The ribeye was very good. Most people walk around downtown Clayton and just go to one of the same old same Olds because it's there. This little hidden gem is worth getting in the car and driving the mile to get to. Service was great, food was excellent. If I were to nitpick, it would be that I asked for fresh decaf and they brought instant coffee. I will be back when in the Clayton, GA. area. read more

A variety of dishes all with little twists. You can spend more here but there is plenty of dishes under $10. If you're in the area we'd really hope you'd try them.

After reading the reviews on this place and having a Mexican craving while in Clayton, we decided to give it a try. It was a little off the beaten path so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. We had the chorizo cheese dip and it was delicious. It comes in a bread boat and has wonderful flavor. It is served with tortilla chips. My husband literally scraped out the inside of the bread bowl :) we also split the fajita nachos and they were kind enough to separate them into two different bowls for us. They were also delicious and the meats and veggies were cut into small strips which made them easy to eat on the tortilla chips. The staff was also very friendly. read more
