    Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean. My friend ordered the cheeseburger and I ordered the rocket dog. We both got French fries and a chocolate peanut butter shake. Everything was delicious. The bun on the hot dog was very buttery.

    Chicken Club Sandwich

    The atmosphere was fun. The food tasted good. The place was not that clean. Our waitress noticed when the air conditioner came on that it was blowing directly on us ( it was 20 degrees outside) she moved us so we would be more comfortable. The shakes were good. I feel like more cheese could have been on fries.

    Food after we ate

    The fries are the best thing here for sure, but the obvious main attraction of this place is the novelty of it being an "old style diner". It has all sorts of cute little things inside like they serve ketchup in smiley faces on plates and stuff like that. If you're going in expecting good food though, lower your expectations as it's wholly unremarkable. They were also out of soda but they said it was because their drink machine was down, so I can't fault them on that. Our waiter also told me we couldn't get weirdly chewy chicken tenders taken off the bill, but after speaking to a manager we got them taken off. Worth a one time visit but wouldn't go again, as the novelty wears off after the first visit in my opinion.

    Ambiance was great service was awful waited until we where half way done with our meal to bring our drinks and never gave us one refill food was not even good

    We hungry, we went, and we stuffed! The only other Johnny Rockets I have been to was on a cruise, so it was nice to go to a restaurant that wasn't moving on the water and it's much bigger stand alone. It's the go to for a quick hamburger, hot dog, fries, or shakes. I may be missing a couple more things, but you get the point. The Rocket chili dog was the pick and it was a fine choice. It was topped with chili and cheese. No onions with a strawberry banana shake. Being on vacation has its benefits without the calories. Everything was great and did not regret each bite. The location is right in the downtown Atlanta area close by the museums, so it's within walking distance. The quick and friendly service was nice and we were able to get our meals in a reasonable amount of time. The crowd started coming in as we were leaving, so we lucked out with that.

    Tater tots

    Wasn't sure where to park visiting this location, so I parked and paid. First bite of tater tot was icey... sent back burger was a burger with no flavor. Server was nice and fixed what he forgot with order. Daughter liked the milkshake she tried burger and that was it. If you like steak and shake or Freddy's or Culver's this is your burger spot!

Oysters were good however we only could order 2 dozen total because they had to save for other customers. The drinks were okay however the bartender did remake it when I said, it tasted like juice.

This place is an absolute no! I don't care about hype, newness, or happy hour specials. If you have no food! And the service is trash! Keep it. Went here for happy hour, I think an oxtail item they were out of, and the $1.50 oysters. Ofc the bar for this to be new, felt old in there. The place was semi full, but had limited servers and 1 bartender. The manager spent his time correcting tabs, apologizing to guests, and scolding servers. Our server was a couch chewer for sure. This girl kept forgetting our drinks, and some of the items we ordered and lied about the food wait times. We spent entirely too long in there waiting for food and drinks. A shift change, not my problem. Be efficient. Sad part is, the food was really good, specifically the oysters when we finally got them, and the stir fry rice. My drink was weak, my salmon burger had a nice texture, it was fresh, but dry and flavorless. No need to return. I have countless places to try happy hour menus with oysters, if you put service above all else as I do, this is a no. The manager ended up comping our oysters as well and shared his frustration. I felt for him. They need to fix it.

Our server was fast, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly. I ordered the Cypress cheeseburger and fries, which is actually my go-to here. The burger is consistently good -- not huge but not small either, just the right size to leave you full and satisfied. The fries? Nothing fancy, just good old basic fried potatoes. But they came out hot and crispy, so no complaints from me! LOL. The real highlight of the table was the blackened redfish. Two people in our group ordered it and both loved it! Overall a solid lunch spot with good service and tasty food. I'll definitely be back. Strong 4/5 for me.

The bartenders are always on point, while the servers aren't always as attentive as I'd like, but this place is usually packed, so I give grace. There is a variety of seating at Cypress: patio seating, regular tables, high-top tables, inside bar seats, and inside tables or high-tops. If it is Christmas time, there is a fantastic pop-up in the back, near the restrooms. Always check out their special menu as it changes, and if the pimento cheese balls are on it, then you must get them as they are our favorite! We love to come here on Wednesday night for the best deal in town, Pie and Vine, in which you get a pizza and a bottle of wine for $20. Yep, that is not a misprint $20. I love the mushroom pizza, but my meat-lover friends like the one with peperoni and sasage. If I'm eating at Cypress, then it is hard to pick what I get because they have so many options. To start or be my meal would be the KIMCHI BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CRISPY TUNA RICE, or wings. I am a big, huge fan of their salads. I like them all and add grilled, blackwned, or buffalo chicken, salmon, or grilled shrimp to them. I have never had a burger, but my friends love them. I need to try the black bean one day. I enjoy their SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS and the BUFFALO CHICKEN sandwich.

The space is clean but not sterile: exposed brick, warm wood, and a bar that glows like it wants you to linger. *The food* skips the tired "burgers and mac" checklist. Think short rib agnolotti with smoked corn puree, charred broccolini with miso-garlic butter, and a fried chicken sandwich that somehow stays crisp under a jalapeño honey glaze. Portions are generous without being wasteful, and everything tastes intentional like the kitchen tested it 10 times before it hit the menu. *The cocktails are the real flex.* The menu changes seasonally, but the bar team leans into flavor over gimmicks. I tried the *Oaxacan Old Fashioned* with mezcal, mole bitters, and orange peel that's torched tableside. Smoky, slightly sweet, zero gimmick. My friend went for the *Cucumber Basil Gimlet* and said it tasted like summer in a glass. No sugary syrup bombs here. Bartenders actually explain what's in your drink if you ask, and they're good at steering you if you're unsure. Service hit the sweet spot between attentive and relaxed. Water refills showed up without hovering, and the server knew the menu well enough to call out what's spicy, what's rich, and what's worth splitting. It feels like a place locals will become regulars at, but it's good enough to bring out-of-town friends to. Creative without being precious, tasty without being safe. Sorry I didn't take pictures,

The shrimp was fresh and not overcooked or rubbery. The grits were smooth. The gravy was well seasoned, but not overly salty or rich. The cornbread and bread or biscuit was good, but not extraordinary. Those were quite dense and heavy paired with the other food. I loved the banana pudding. This meal jumpstarted my banana pudding hyper fixation. Very fragrant and not too thick yet still nice and creamy. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy either. It was a good dessert to round out the meal. I hope to come here again and have an actual sit down experience. Curious to see the ambiance!
