    Overly seasoned Braised Oxtails
    Ayanna S.

    While visiting Stone Mountain on Friday, September 5, 2025, my best friend and I decided to try Nostalgia Kitchen since it was close to our hotel. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. We were served by the bartender, who was clearly distracted trying to juggle bar duties and DoorDash orders. Our small two-top table quickly filled up, and items weren't cleared in a timely way, I even dropped silverware multiple times because there was no room. When I tried moving a few items to a nearby empty table to make space, the bartender came over to tell me not to do that since it had already been cleaned. When the check came, an automatic $25 gratuity had been added even though we were only a party of two. I asked for it to be removed because tips should be based on the service received, not automatic unless you're a party of six or more. Instead of handling this gracefully, the bartender got defensive and had an attitude. She did re-ring the bill without the automatic gratuity, but the interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant. Out of courtesy, I still paid the $135 bill and left a $17 cash tip. To her credit, the other server (not our bartender) apologized for the poor service, which I appreciated. The worst part came later, when I checked my bank account, I saw I had been charged twice: once for the canceled check and again for the corrected one. Now I have to dispute the charge with my bank. Warning to out-of-town guests: please double-check your bank statements if you dine here. Between inattentive service, automatic gratuities added incorrectly, and duplicate charges, this restaurant left me with a very bad impression.

    Nostalgia Kitchen has a Happy Hour! Happy Hour specials include food, drinks, and hookah. There's free parking and it's nicely decorated. We enjoyed great service and ambiance with the R&B playlist. For appetizers, the soul food egg rolls were a hit! We also tried the fish tacos, which surprisingly had barbecue sauce on them. The fish tacos were okay, just not exactly what we thought they would be. For entrees, the lamb chops were pretty good; they had a chargrilled, smokiness taste; they were cooked well-done though I requested medium-well, so keep that in mind. The snapper was good. No complaints on the side dishes, including the sweet potato soufflé my friend loved. I was pleased with the drinks! Very good drink special, and the bartender mixed it well. I would try again. It was not very busy on the Thursday night I went; hopefully, they'll see more customers!!

    We stopped in for an early dinner. Kie was our server and she took care of us. She gave for recommendations. The sides are $8. The macaroni and cheese was delicious. The greens were tasty, too, filled with turkey meat. I thought the jerk rolls, $13, were just ok. The cabbage was a bit too crunchy. I got a side of jerk sauce to dip them in. The jerk tacos, $13, were better. I liked the pineapple on top. The salmon sliders, $13, were good, but would be better without the Sprouts. They had an earthy after taste. The ambience was nice. There's a wall with an electric when you enter. This would make a nice date night. You can dress up or down. They have cute round booths and hightop tables. The bar has 4 tv screens. The bathrooms were nice and clean. They had great music playing. The strawberry cheesecake is delicious. They also add an automatic 20% gratuity to the check.

    Be careful entering the parking lot. Entrance is on busy Memorial drive. Ample parking space in there lot. The lot can use some care, but once you enter the ambiance and decor is spectacular. Modern decor. Lounge seating, private seating areas, full bar, stage for Dj and live performance, hookah station. I didn't get to explore the entire lounge. But what I saw was spectacular. Bartender was awesome, not pushy but helpful. Food is as described. Only thing is they need to update their prices. I was charged more than what was on the menu. For this price I feel it should have came with sides. An omelet for $18, MK. Also note they add 20% gratuity. Which seems to be a standard at most places outside the perimeter. Went on a Sunday. I didn't feel rushed. They serve bring on Sundays 12-5. The reopen at 6 for dinner. Also music thru the speakers was great.

    Our serve was Kie and she was amazing. Nice vibes, clean spot. The Mac and cheese was really good but the collards and turkey wings were salty but otherwise everything was straight

    From the entrance to the inside, the place is very nice. Service was top-notch, very polite and knowledgeable of all dishes.. music was on point also that night. But the star of the show was definitely the food. Can't wait to visit this place again. Had a great time.. definitely recommend this spot

    Nostalgia Punch Souls Rolls

    I met up with a new friend at Nostalgia for happy hour two weeks ago, and it was pretty cool. First, I did pass the parking lot initially because it wasn't well lit and the sign wasn't visible from the street. Once, I got into the parking lot I just couldn't get it together with the parking (which I'm still not sure if it was a me problem or a lot problem). However, once I got inside, it was cool. The decor was very breezy and beautiful. One of the employees told my friend that they were having a private event so we only had an hour to eat. So I would definitely say check out their Instagram before you go. Nostalgia definitely has an amazing happy hour menu with select items ranging from $6-$10. I ordered the soul rolls and the mango habanero wings and a lemon drop. The lemon drop was not good at all. It was lemony but no (sugar) drop. Instead of asking for simple syrup, I was able to replace the drink with a rum punch. This came out much better. The food was very good! The wings were crispy, the sauce wasn't too hot and the blue cheese dressing paired well with the wings. The soul rolls were good and I must say that no ingredient in the roll was overpowering. My friend ordered just the wings, and rum punch and she was satisfied. I definitely want to come back in the new year to experience more of the atmosphere.

    This place is so nice I had to return. I came on a Thursday when they just opened to get there karaoke night set up in full show. I enjoyed the oxtail tacos and the punch plus a margarita. Will I be back again? Of course.

    A perfectly good ladies night ruined by bad food. Let's start with appetizers... The crab cake came in the size of a salmon croquette for $18... my cousin ordered it and hated it. I love crab cake so I asked to try. It was so disgusting I gagged and spit it out. It tasted fishy like the smell, not like oceany lol I asked for my appetizer, which was lemon pepper wings, to be crispy dry. The skin on the wings was so loose and they were nowhere near crispy. I sent them back twice and just decided to go with it after two failed attempts... my friend got the soul rolls... egg roll with collards, Mac, and yams... THEY WERE DRY. Now for entrees -- my cousin and I ordered Rasta pasta. I got mine with chicken, she got hers with shrimp. This "Rasta Pasta" didn't have any bell peppers or onions in it? It was just Alfredo that was heavily peppered with a dash of jerk sauce I presume. The chicken in my pasta was flavorless and overcooked. My other two friends ordered the snapper... DRY & the bacon cheeseburger. It was really a jalapeño burger but she took all the hot stuff off. Why was the bacon on the burger bacon bits? I am so serious. The worst part is... my meal and drinks were like $75. With all the fees it was like $106... the waitress didn't bring the itemized bill out until I had already tipped her $23 cash. The gratuity that was automatically added to the check was $18.... She was not an attentive server & the table was overcrowded by our used dishes the entire time. I NEVER would've tipped twice let alone $40 on a $75 meal and drinks....

    Oxtail Tacos and Jerk Rolls
    Meka D.

    I came here on a Friday night. I really liked the vibe. Old school meets modern vibes. I really loved the live music. It really set the vibes. The food was delicious. Towards the end of the end service was a little slow and I really wasn't feeling the comedy acts. Plenty of free parking in their parking lot. In all, I would come back.

    We had reservations and it was still a wait to be seated and it wasn't a busy night, i just think they were understaffed honestly. Our waitress was really nice and attentive, we'd go back. The food was absolutely amazing. However the turkey wings should've been more tender. It's a nice ambiance overall!

    Service is constantly good. Hookah has never disappointed. Spacious restaurant. Soul food eggrolls, salmon sliders and oxtail tacos are always good

    Ambiance is nice but food could be better. Service definitely needs an upgrade. Owner was very apologetic so I'll return to see what changes are made and then update my pose

One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options.

If I'm ever back in Georgia I will be back.
