This review is solely based on the food, as I've never actually stepped foot inside the restaurant…read more First good point: they were open on Easter! We had a long day and just wanted to eat at home, so we decided to place a takeout order. After browsing the website, we settled on the Salisbury steak meal, a veggie plate, lemon pepper wings with fries, a chicken tender meal, and a slice of strawberry cake. Second good point: the website was user-friendly. However, when I tried to place the order, the payment wouldn't go through. My husband called the restaurant, and we were told they were having some technical difficulties with their system--but we could place the order over the phone instead. Third good point: the person we spoke to was friendly and helpful. The food was hot and fresh when my husband brought it home. Overall, everything was good--there were a few minor issues, but nothing that was a deal breaker: The mac and cheese was a bit dry, and the cheese wasn't fully melted. The collard greens were a little too salty, and the chicken tenders were pretty bland. The icing on the strawberry cake was also a bit too sweet for my taste--but that might just be personal preference. Other than that, everything was delicious. I'm looking forward to actually going inside next time, whether to dine in or get takeout.

I had the fried catfish (I asked them to fry it crispy), broccoli casserole, Mac & cheese, and…read morefried squash. I really enjoyed my food. Everything was delicious, not overly seasoned. I do wish the fried squash had some seasoning, tasted like there was none at all, BUT the crispy coating was so good & crunchy that it didn't matter. It was still good lol ambiance was like a normal diner but more modern. Service was excellent, waitress was nice. I'd come back again!

NATHAN gave us five star service, he is a very personable young man and made us feel right at home on our first visit at this location. I ordered a delicious egg sandwich with cheese and country sausage, my granddaughter ordered French toast with a side of scrambled eggs. The French toast was huge and had a very good taste to it. The fish was fried to perfection. I will definitely come again soon for brunch.

The first time I came here the staff was super friendly, made me a seat at the bar. The food was…read morefantastic, I got the seaside combo and was very, very pleased. The sassy scramble has my heart and the fish is seasoned to perfection. The shrimp and grits are ok, but my highlight is the other two! The uptown was fantastic as well! The ambiance is great. Cozy and warm.

We were hiking at Sweetwater Creek State Park and this was listed as "nearby" so we decided to…read morecheck it out around lunchtime on a Tuesday. BF looked it up and saw that it was the diner from Stranger Things, so we had high hopes. Well. Here's the good: Everything was made to order. The chicken fried steak was AMAZING and our waitress couldn't have been any sweeter. The bad: My god this place is run down. Talking ripped booth seats, chipped plates, etc. We waited an hour for our food because yes the food is made to order, but it's only one guy doing it all. At the half hour mark we decided we were already committed, so we just stayed. The mid: The sides were just meh. Mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, crumbly dry cornbread. Honestly the fried okra was pretty good but it's hard to mess that up. Overall, it was ok, it was cheap, but I wouldn't come back.

They have some stranger things decorations and if you ask the staff they will talk to you about the whole experience. If you're on your stranger things journey fuel up by coming here!

I had gone to Stoddard's next door and decided to get a bit to eat. So I went to see what all the…read morefuss was about from the previous reviews. I fully expected a train wreck. What I saw was a decent, but older little "mom and pop" diner that does old school home-style cooking very well. The staff is not trained to the level of the Georgian Club, its true, but then again, this is not the Georgian Club. It appears to be a small family owned and operated business so people multi-task. The country fried steak was great, the mashed potatoes were fine. It was all about what I would expect at the price point. My friend had the chicken and raved about it. If you are looking for a 5-star experience, this is not your place. If you are looking for good food, reasonably priced served in a old school diner style, well, this is not a bad choice. I did not see any confederate flag t-shirts. I did have the waitress that one reviewer suggested was on crack or a prostitute because of her mouth and eye movements. She was very competent and good. She does have twitch or two appearing to be something like a hyperkinetic disorder to me, but I guess for some it is easier to classify anyone with disability a crack head. I will be back when in Douglasville. Overall, I find this to be a good place to eat.

They were burnt and my toast was burnt. I ignored the first time then I ordered it again on the following Saturday and again same thing burnt food finally called him and told him about it. They were nice and they said they were credit me but then when I tried to call today, they literally said they couldn't honor it because they didn't know who said it who wrote it down or if they wrote it down and they can't just give away free food and then when I asked if I can talk to the owner, they said that that he never comes in very often and that even if she gave him my number that he would probably not even call seems to me the owner don't give a fuck about his customers anymore. It's been a long time standing diner, which has totally fallen apart it doesn't have that nice hometown feeling anymore and they have definitely lost a customer for life. If the owner don't give a fuck neither do I and I highly advise everyone not to even go because their food literally sucks now has no flavor. The spaghetti sucked someone else had the country fried steak said it tasted just like a hospital food with no flavor so to me I don't see the Bankhead Diner staying open very much longer especially if the owner is gonna continue to treat his customers and it seems like their employees as well. Shitty so so when I recommend this place hell no and I don't even wanna rate it I give it a 0. I want to write it a -10.

Cenacle Bistro is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. I'm so happy we stumbled upon…read morethis hidden gem. My friend and I both ordered the shrimp and grits and they were overly good. I've never had shrimp and grits with an Alfredo-style sauce, but now I get it... I don't want it any other way. The service was just as good as the food. Our waitresses were super kind and friendly. We were seated outside on such a beautiful day but they didn't forget us. They stayed attentive and that made the whole experience even better. My only gripe was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte. The flavor was there, but having actual cereal in the drink wasn't my favorite once it got soggy. The texture through the straw was a little off. I think a cinnamon sugar version would've been perfect instead. But honestly, that's minor. I would definitely go back again and again and again. Such a gem!

So I wanted to give them a high rating because their food was good. Let me start by saying that…read more I'd absolutely order them for delivery or to-go. The pancakes were HUGE but so soft & perfectly sweet. The shrimp & grits were flavored well, maybe just a hair too salty, but not to the point where I wouldn't order them again. Their waffles were a hit too. Everything tasted real good & I was satisfied with food. Now the reason they're getting a 3 is because the experience/service was not up to par in the least. We arrived around 2 (they close at 4). They are a smaller restaurant, so while there were minimal tables initially, the crowd was starting to dwindle. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated, then waited about 10 minutes until a server approached our table. Since we'd already been waiting, we decided to just order drinks & food at one time. Our food came fairly quick & that was it. My friend wanted another drink but decided it wasn't worth it after the time waiting to order it. I needed a refill on my water (never got it). The server walked by twice after I asked, but just kept forgetting. She did apologize after the 2nd time & asked if I still wanted it. At that point, it'd been almost an hour & I was finished anyway so I said no thanks. She asked if we at least wanted to-go water. I declined but my friend said yes. She never got the to-go water. The server was very nice & there were even other staff walking by, but getting anything after our food was impossible. It even took forever to request the check. If they were busy or packed, we could have understood-- but being that we came close to closing & could see how many other people were there, the constant waiting made no sense. Like I said before, the food was food so I'd order them to-go, but I probably won't be back to dine in.
