    Shrimp  and grits (brunch only)
    Angie M.

    Just moving here from the Hollywood area, good food is a necessity. We have spent our past few years in the hands of Nancy Silverton so Michelin star taste is always a desire. This place blew my mind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Texture-very defined and dialed in flavor profiles and tenderness of meat options- great cocktails and a fun free atmosphere!?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This will now be the place we bring our friends to and ourselves to for date nights. They need to awarded their own Michelin Star ! Also the owners son was the friendliest and is the reason we came. Staff is so fun!

    My friends and I got seated right away at 5 pm on a Friday. There are seats available for indoor and outdoor. For appetizers we shared mini beef patties & hot peppa shrimp. Both were well seasoned with the patties being juicy but also definitely mini (half the size of my palm). I would have liked the shrimp to have more garlic and less oil in my personal opinion. For entrees we tried their nene's etouffee, grandma's oxtail, jerk chicken and jerk steak & frites. Sides included dosas and plantains (sweet). I was disappointed with the etouffee as I love seafood and it looked just like gumbo but it missed the smokeyness and a deeper flavor palate. Oxtails were pretty aromatic and salty. I thought the chicken was overly blacked as I tasted more char than meat. Steak sauce was tasty but seemed to be prepared well instead of medium. Dosas were a little dry and crumbly. Plantains were good though, sweet and soft. Overall, we had a good experience. Dishes were either pretty good or not really. Service was great as our waitor made regular visits and was quick to complete our requests. It was cute and cozy restaurant with a large full bar. I wouldn't mind coming again.

    5/5 We celebrated our 4-year anniversary with lunch at Ms. Icey's Kitchen & Bar, and it was such a memorable experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, and the food is absolutely top-notch--full of flavor and clearly made with love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the highlights of our visit was meeting one of the owner's sons, who made us feel even more welcome. The family-run warmth really shines through, and it added a personal touch to our celebration. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's easy to see why they've been in business for 6 years--everything about this place feels special, from the decor to the food and the friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for an inviting spot with great food and even better vibes, this is the place. We'll definitely be back! Photos: - Our amazing dishes - The beautiful decor and ambiance #SupportLocal #AnniversaryLunch #MsIceys #FamilyRun #GreatExperience

    Visited Ms. Icey's on a Saturday for brunch with the girls and we had a blast! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by stylish and modern ambiance! Our entire party hadn't arrived yet so my friend and I decided to sit at the bar for a cocktail while we waited. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us pick out our cocktails. Once seated, the service was awesome! He quickly gathered all of our orders while still being able to make us laugh! We tried a variety of different menu items around the table. Cocktails we tried: GUAVA PEACH PALOMA: Avion Reposado, Guava, Peach, Pink Grapefruit, Lime, Ting, Salt Rim 10/10 POMEGRANATE MIMOSA: Clase Azul Pomegranate liqueur, sparkling wine 7/10 Food we tried: SKILLET CORNBREAD: Bourbon Brown Sugar Butter, Blueberry Jam 10/10 CASSIES FRIED CHICKEN & WAFFLES: Three Piece Dark Meat, Plantain Waffle, Brown Sugar Butter 10/10 GRANDMA'S OXTAIL: Baby carrots, oxtail gravy 9/10 JERK CHICKEN: Half pound dark meat, tamarind jerk sauce 9/10 JERK STEAK & FRITES: 8oz Ny Strip, Parmesan fries, jerk Dianne sauce 10/10 I can't wait to return!

    I rode past this place and decided I wanted to try it. The owner was very cool, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is very loud and lively.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good no lie and the drinks were strong. Now my only complaint was the server at the bar was slow in service but all in all it was good. Would return again.

    I have to say before I went, I already knew what I wanted to try because I checked out the menu days before. There are really good options to choose from. FIRST OFF, the appetizers were so good. The Mac and cheese, the cornbread and Brussels sprouts were all good. We left no crumbs. My friend got the oxtails and he loved them. I got the "THEE SALAD" topped with shrimp and it was delicious. My other friend got the plantains and Cesar salad and she said it was good. And the drinks were really good. I got the coconut rum punch and my friends got the coconut mojito! To top everything off, our server was great! She had great suggestions and checked on us several times after we received our food!!! I will be going back soon!

    This place is located in a strip mall and finding parking is extremely hard. The lot is too small and the venues are too busy. They will not sit parties until everyone arrives and I like that. They also have a DJ playing some good music. This is a nice brunch location. Seems like the location is more for Social Media pics than food. Don't get me wrong, the food tastes great put the emphasis is definitely on appearances. I ordered the skillet cornbread topped with butter and blueberries. This is definitely worth it and tasted great. The a la carte jerk chicken. Good but pricey. The plantains were decent.

    Well, we'll, well...this restaurant was QUITE a pleasant surprise. Nice well appointed decor, smooth sultry neo soul playing. Oh! Did I mention they have a live Dj on Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday? Now the food. Hmmmmm...best Jerk chicken I've had in Georgia...like the whole state. I accompanied it with some Mac and cheese and it was just perfect. I sat at the bar and my tender; Justin was equally amazing with his drink incantations. I'm a virtual lightweight so I stuck to Margaritas, regular and Strawberry (don't judge me!). I will definitely be back; of this you can be sure. Ms. Icey's is perfect for a business meeting or date, it's not loud and obnoxious but just right. Go...you won't be disappointed

    To start, I sat at the bar and had a few drinks until the rest of the party arrived. The ambiance was very casual. You could either dress up or down. Open concept restaurant with the bar being in the center. The drinks were great! The bartender went above and beyond. The food came in a timely manner for a party of 15. I forgot the server's name, however she did an amazing job! The men's bathroom was clean and restocked. I would recommend for a large gathering or just catching up with a friend over drinks. There is outside seating as well. Definitely going back!

    April 23rd was my first time trying this restaurant, We had a reservation at 3pm and arrived at 2:45pm. The host kindly set us down as soon as we checked in, which is a plus because more often then not most time a reservation doesn't mean much and you will still find yourself waiting to be seated, So Ms.Icey's gets a A+ for that. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable and since this was a first time visit he informed of all the popular drinks,apps and entrees. Restaurant seating and decor was very nice and bathrooms were clean! There was a House DJ competition which was very lively and exciting to partake in! Pros: All food & drinks were very good,fresh and flavorful. Cons: Food outside of appetizers took a little longer then I'd like. Parking lot is shared with other busy restaurants and you will potentially have to park further away and walk to restaurant.

    The quality of this experience has declined for us. We went in with a group for a 7pm birthday dinner on a Friday night. The parking lot was pretty full, but it was still easy enough for us to find a spot. Our group of nine was able to be seated quickly as there were many open tables. The menu is contactless with QR codes at the tables. There are very few options on the menu, and it leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the less adventurous eaters at the table had a hard time finding something to order. I was ecstatic to see the "roast fish" on the menu once I realized that it was a Bronzino. I excitedly ordered it and talked it up to the entire table. Thus, I was so disappointed when our server came out to let me know that the kitchen was out of fish. She was super apologetic as she asked me to choose something else from the menu. I ended up eating the jerk steak and frites, with the steak ordered medium. I was nervous that it would be too spicy as I don't typically eat jerk, but the sauce was like jerk mixed with some type of cream sauce, which cut the spice. I really enjoyed the sauce. The steak needed seasoning. The fries were okay; they were crisp and well-seasoned...I just prefer a thicker cut fry and was expecting it to be thicker based on previous yelp pictures. Toward the end, our server brought me out a shot (pictured with lime) as an apology on the house about the fish mix up. I also ordered the coconut rum punch because I'm recently into trying things with coconut cream in them. It was okay. I probably would have preferred the coconut mojito, and will try that if I'm ever back here. Hubby at the oxtails with greens and plantains. I thought all of that was good, although the oxtails had a little spice to them. The greens seemed to have some type of cream sauce on them too, which I surprisingly liked a lot. I loved the oxtail gravy even though I only had about two bites, but hubby said he didn't care for it. We probably should have traded plates! All in all, this place always has great service and a welcoming vibe. The food is hit or miss though. Also, the group was surprised at the end to learn that the water we were drinking $6/bottle. The water came out as shared bottles and was replaced as it emptied throughout the meal. It was never mentioned that we'd be charged for it. As you can see from our receipt, we had 6 over the course of our meal. If you're using this receipt as a guide, it is based on 7 adults. Two people ordered their food to go at the beginning of the meal so theirs isn't reflected in our tab.

    Chicken and waffles
    Lauren L.

    I dined at Ms. Icey's during a Mingle Experience event. The food and service was amazing. We ordered the chicken and waffle and the Thee Salad with fried Fish. The chicken was seasoned well and very flavorful. The waffle is delicious and comes with flavored butter. This is a very filling meal. The Thee Salad with fried fish was top tier. I loved the cajun seasoning that it is seasoned with. The only reason I gave a 4 is because I asked for caesar dressing instead of the normal dressing and it was not replaced and also I wish there were more tomatoes and onions in the salad. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will be back. Their drinks taste phenomenal as well.

    I'm thrilled to share that I finally stopped by Brick Store Pub last Friday! I've visited Downtown…read moreDecatur Square countless times and walked past this spot over and over but this time, I got lucky and made it in for a drink. Brick Store Pub is an incredible place. The staff are fantastic, personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They really know their craft and are happy to share recommendations on both drinks and food. The ambiance adds so much to the experience, I recommend you to come and relax on the patio or grab a seat at the bar. There's such a great vibe all around that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're in the area, definitely stop by, you'll enjoy every bit of the atmosphere that Brick Store has been giving all this time. I will be back!

Was meeting friends for…read morelunch and tried to call to make a reservation since there were 6 of us for a Saturday and there was going to be a music festival that afternoon. Got a text back saying they don't take reservations, it's first come, first serve, but they would do what they could to accomodate us. 4 of us were seated and we had 2 more coming before we wanted to order. The wait staff was attentive, making sure we had our beverages and if we needed anything before the 2 arrived. Once they arrived, the staff gave us a few minutes to make sure the 2 had a chance to look at the menus. We ordered appetizers to start...corn bread, sage fried pierogies and poutine. We weren't sure about the poutine because we didn't see any gravy, we did see the cheese curds on the fries, but once we finally dug in, the gravy was at the bottom. The pierogies were tasty. We asked if they could cut the cornbread so each of us could get a taste, which they did. Corn bread had a toasted texture, and the honey butter was delicious! Everyone ordered something different. One had fish and chips, which would seem to be a likely order for a pub. Their special for the day was a ruben. Another ordered a falafel sandwich, and I think 2 salmon BLT's and then one salad with rainbow trout. Portions were not overwhelming, but we realized that we were full from the appetizers and almost everyone ended up taking most of their main choices in doggie bags (boxes). As time got closer to the festival to start, it did get crowded, but the staff handled the influx of people and people were seated relatively quickly. This was a nice destination as most of the group live a drive from Decatur. Lovely afternoon visit!

Stopped in for a drink or two, but stayed a little bit longer for the music and The vibes. I was there on a weekend night, and it was super chill and had a really good performance situation happening on stage. This one is a little bit weird because you have to do certain things to be able to get in. It's not like it's an escape room situation, but at the same time, it's a little active. Not overly active to where you would be taxed when you get there. But you have to go follow some instructions and once you get in it's all gravy! There's a lot of space for table so you can sit in front of the stage or you can sit in the back or the bar is which is also very pristinely kept. Or their ceas behind that. And there's even a bowl of alley somewhere in the cut. It is a really really good spot. The entertainment was on point. They were playing a lot of hits, lot of old school which I appreciate it. Loved it. The drinks were fired. The bartender had a lot of personality and it was super engaging. Just what you want from Superior customer service. I would 101% go back. It was a lot of fun and a really good vibe. We just happened to walk in off of humbug, but I actually might remember reservations next time. Actually sit in the crowd to enjoy the music. Loved it.

Upon arriving, we were asked if we knew the secret passcode. I didn't realize we needed to know a passcode, but the guy gave us some hints, and we eventually got it. We were instructed to go downstairs with a paper slip and "deposit" it into a deposit box downstairs. Upon doing this, we were granted access inside! It was pretty cool honestly! We sat at the bar upon arriving and ordered some drinks. They have a really nice drink menu with different cocktails and all the other liquors. They also have a full food menu too. Some people around us got food, and honestly, it looked really good! Our bartender Joey, was awesome! He was friendly and answered some of our questions about the drinks. He even made us espresso martini shots!! Hats off to Joey! The vibes inside are very prohibition-y. They had live music when we went, and I think they have live music most days during the week too. Roaring Social is located in downtown Decatur, so not too far of a walk from many other shops/bars/restaurants. We ubered, so I am not too familiar with parking, but I think there are parking garages nearby and street parking. I would definitely come back here in the future!

It was a Friday night, so it was pretty packed when we first got there. We put our names down, and then grabbed a drink at the bar. There was outdoor seating that was available, so we grabbed a seat. We were then notified that our table was ready. It wasn't even 20 minutes, so this was great. The host took us to two seats at the bar. SOS is such a cool island type of vibe. They have so many different tiki cocktails that you can choose from. They are mostly made of rum, but they have a few other ones that are made with different alcohols. Me and my wife both got our own drinks. Hers was a special Valentine's Day themed drink that was on the menu, and mine was one of the tequila/mezcal tiki drinks. Both tasted really good! The presentation was just as good too! You aren't limited to these though, it's a full bar, so you can get whatever you want. They also have a few food options, but very limited. Our bartender, Heather, was super nice as well. My wife had asked (when I went to the restroom) if they did anything for birthdays, since my birthday was a few days prior. She did this cool fire presentation and gave us two little slushie shots. Awesome bartender for sure! SOS is a great place to go for some really fun drinks. It's good for groups, but keep in mind that they do get quite busy on the weekends! I'll definitely be back.
