We've been coming to Poor Hendrix reliably for the past few years when we want more than quick service but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. We can walk in before a night out, or after hitting the park in gym shorts and we're always feeling welcome and part of the neighborhood. Their rotating menu is always exciting to see what's new, but the sticky sesame wings and fries will always have my heart. When in season, their house made ricotta with strawberries is so good I could take just that for my entire meal! 10/10 recommend! read more

Staff was great! The space was unique and had a lively atmosphere on Friday night. The food was the best part we started with the egg rolls and the smoked fish dip which were both amazing! For our main dishes we got a half rack of ribs and the pork bahn mi. The ribs were falling off the bone and the bahn mi was also delicious but could have used. Just a little more meat! Still fantastic. Finished it off with banana bread pudding which was the perfect sweet treat to end it all! read more

Great food. Fun little neighborhood haunt with good service. Everything on the menu is tasty...

Walked here with bae and consider me upset I didn't come sooner. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing too. Service is spectacular, and I genuinely have no bad things to say even if I tried. Multiple people attend to you and the food was like rediculously fast.. sooooolid spot! Server: Will - super nice and attentive Note: We got the beer/shot combo and olives, pimento dip, chicken skewers, shrimp skewers, and are staying planning to get more! read more

A lot I can say about Poor Hendrix but I'll keep it brief. Great food and service. Very casual service but attentive and kind. Reasonably priced and seating inside or outside on their patio. Try their skewers, their drink specials, and their wings and tasty fries. Can't go wrong if you're looking for a chill time in East Lake with delicious food, read more

My mother got sick from one your this restaurants salads. They didn't wash the lettuce properly and it gave my mom Cyclosporasis.

Wow, this restaurant is amazing! Great ambiance and outstanding service. All the dishes were excellent! My friends said the drinks were also delicious but I was the DD, so didn't try them. Chicken skewers, pattè, sweet potatoes and the cremè brûlée were my favorites! read more

This was my second time here, and just like the first, it didn't disappoint. The menu switches up the main dishes often, but they keep a few reliable staples that never miss. read more

We came in on a Friday. They're first come, first served, so watch your timing if you're coming with a group. The bartenders were very nice and took great care of us. The buffalo cauliflower was a real stand-out, as were the skewers. This place is casual and fun, and we'll definitely be back! read more

In the next installation of my Michelin reviews, this cute neighborhood bar was a lovely meal. I sat outside on the patio and was shielded from the rain that briefly came down. I also love the neighborhood, having been a fan of PERC forever. I like that the menu wasn't too extensive so it wasn't hard for me to pick what to order. I got the sweet potatoes, asparagus, and a specialty green goddess chicken with farro entree. I finished with the rice krispy treat (not pictured) and tried a vodka soda based cocktail. Everything tasted great and the servers were friendly/helpful despite managing a busy restaurant. The rice krispy treat definitely tasted home-made and not store bought. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the starters almost tasted too strong in some respects. I would still come back to try other small plates. read more

Love this place! We shared small plates, and the sweet potatoes are to die for! Cute atmosphere, great service, lots of gluten free options, reasonable prices, and free parking. What more can you ask for? This is in the rotation as a "go to" place for a dinner out! read more

Amazing Flavors. Fabulous service the place is so adorable. It's the food tho. Omgoodness we ordered all the appetizers and they did not disappoint. Best White Russian I've ever had. read more

So glad I finally got to try out this spot. It's super chill and a great casual dinner spot. We sat on the patio! Definitely recommend for a nice day. They have a daily menu that changes up every so often. They have a fabulous cocktail menu. I got a fig tequila cocktail that was perfect for fall. For food, we got the lamb skewers, buffalo wings and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. You definitely need to get the grilled cheese - trust me! And with the soup - so cozy. They have rotating daily specials and all their sandwiches look amazing. read more

Came in super early on a Friday night around 5 before anyone else. By the time we left around 8, it was a packed house! I'm glad we came early, it helped with finding parking too (street parking and there's a lot behind it) We ordered a bunch of small plates for our group of three - chicken, mushroom and shrimp skewers. All yummy with good flavor, just a bit disappointed at the portion size. The peanut noodles were refreshing and spicy. Ricotta dip with bread was a crowd favorite, the bread being grilled added smokiness which I enjoyed. Brussels were fine (par for the course, not phenomenal but not bad by any means). The grilled cheese was delish, the bread it's on was super crusty. We also ordered the fizzy gin carafe to share among the three of us- we each got about two glasses and it only cost us 12$ per person, pretty worth. Service was great- we were there for almost 3 hours and they came and checked on us in reasonable intervals. Will definitely be back! read more

Bartenders are friendly, food is seasonal and super yummy, and the vibe is super chill. Great spot to hit before a night out or a cool spot to come to when your night is winding down. Just a heads up that they often times run out of their best dishes. For example, the chicken pate - never got to try it because so many people ordered it before I did. Next time! Word to the wise - always get a steak skewer or 2. Delish! Def a neighborhood gem. You won't be disappointed if you check this place out. Do it! read more

I got takeout & it was good. I got the fish & chips - loves the fish nuggets - very tasty. My wife got the salmon salad & raved about it as well. I'll have to come back and get some other dishes. Seemed like a nice, friendly neighborhood Place... read more

The food at Poor Hendrix was okay, not too exciting. The inside was a bit cramped and not great for big groups. The drinks were good, though. Overall, it wasn't a super memorable experience. read more

Poor Hendrix is a really nice spot for a late night bite to eat. You can get anything from classic Buffalo wings, or something totally different like trout skins and spicy peanut cold noodles. Can't go wrong with either! Definitely will be coming back for more in the near future. Also, the service here is always friendly and attentive. Not to mention, the whole place has a cozy vibe to it in general. Feels like a nice place to just unwind after a long day, and have a bite of amazing food. You don't even need to drink, either. I come in just for the food! read more

An Open Letter To The Owners: This email could not wait. I stopped into your establishment tonight and I can't say enough how much my cousin and I enjoyed ourselves. From the atmosphere, to the food, to the service. Bravo. We walked away talking about the food and even making a point to note that we must come back tomorrow for dessert and a drink to celebrate my cousins birthday. That grilled cheese is not just any old grilled cheese but an elevated experience, maybe a little dramatic but maybe even tear inducing. I walked away noting that this was comfort food done well and I felt comfortable and welcome. Brandon was a gem and he was extremely attentive. I don't normally give 5 star reviews because well it my first visit and I like to go a second time to make sure it wasn't a fluke. You DESERVE . read more

Eclectic delicious food/drinks choices, excellent service, cozy vibes. Will be back for sure!

One of our favorite restaurants! The drinks & food are exceptional! The service great! Only wish they were on DoorDash!

Solid drinks and great staff. The salmon tartare was good and the second time I went I had the cod and fries which were great. Prices are super reasonable and not like all this absurd pricing you see in Atlanta. Cute little neighborhood spot with ample parking. read more

Went here for a happy hour with a friend on a Friday night, it was a bit hard finding seating as its first come first serve and is quite small. We eventually found a table outside on the patio with tips from one of the waiters. Ordered the lamb skewers, fries, buffalo cauliflower and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. All great picks! Their homemade ranch is amazing, fries were nice and crispy. The grilled cheese was top tier. 10s across the board. read more

It gives neighborhood hole-in-the-wall vibes, but with a very elevated and considered menu. Love this place!

OMG KYRR IS FINE AS HELL ! Mind blowing and charming as F*** !!! Great service was not a question ! KYRR provided top tier service! I will definitely come again !!! read more

We stopped by Poor Hendrix while we were house hunting and were so glad we did. The food was fantastic! The portions were small but it was just the right amount of food to satisfy us. We ordered the steak skewers as an appetizer and the taste was amazing. My husband got the Grilled Cheese on Sourdough and said, "it is the Platonic ideal of grilled cheese", but he is being deliberately pretentious. I got the Peruvian Fried Chicken Sandwich which was good and not something I could have found anywhere else. The service displayed a team spirit as we were sitting at the bar and at least three different people provided friendly and accommodating help. The ambiance was lively and had a real neighborhood feel to it. We didn't end up buying a house in the area and is not somewhere we would normally go, but it is worth the drive to go back. read more

Fantastic food, service and ambiance. This place is a neighborhood gem and is worth seeking out.

Lamb Skewers. Don't ask questions... Just order them. They're amazing! And the grinder was a solid choice too. The fries were crispy on the outside with yummy seasoning and soft on the inside, just how I like them. The parking can be found behind the building and then you can walk right up on the back patio. Dining is a little close quarters inside but plenty of room and heaters for outdoor seating. The only complaint I have is the portion for pricing (as the name was a bit deceiving, or perhaps it's right on point)... but it IS some quality food if you're ready to spend a little money! read more

Yesterday was my birthday and we were in the area to go to St Mountain Park and we picked the restaurant strictly from the yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! The food was phenomenal the back patio was perfect to allow the dogs. It's covered and has lots of fans so it was very comfortable. Everyone was so sweet and our waiter was Walter and he was GREAT! A sweet waitress that I didn't get her name brought homemade peanut butter cookie treats for the dogs. The party peach cider was THE BOMB! Helpful hint, order the bread for the mussels to soak up the yummy wine garlic sauce and the crème brûlée of the day was lemon basil and was phenomenal. We will be back! Lake Sinclair, Ga read more

love Poor Hendrix... specifically for the bar food when we have a sitter. My favorite are the spicy mushroom skewers. Their buffalo wings are def in my top 3... and the accompanying sauces are excellent. Bartenders are always cool and attentive. I love that it is close to my house. read more

It's not enough in this town to have a great bar anymore, the kitchen has to be great too. PH is a smallish, walk-in only spot in Eastlake at the corner of Hosea Williams and Second. It's a good location because you're all like "Let's go to Oakhurst" and then it's all like "look at all this cool stuff before Oakhurst" and then before long you're stuffing your face at PH. Wife and I went on a date night, relying on the restaurant's current rep for serving American bistro-style small plates. We both had a bourbon mint punch (kind of Julepy) that was sweet enough to cut through the major hit of savory brought by our munchies, which were served adeptly and kitchen-hot. Got the shrimp skewers (great seasoning on these), lamb skewers, cold Asian noodles (spicy), buffalo cauliflower (good texture), and another shrimp skewer for good luck. All great quality stuff. We sat on the patio which was pretty laid back and peaceful. The bar seats were packed inside, so I am led to believe that the real experience of PH is at those bar seats. We'll try for that next time and further explore the menu. Finally, the meal was actually a pretty good value. Multiple high quality small plates, two cocktails, and tip for less than 60 bucks. Can't beat that these days. read more

This was a cool spot in a neighborhood we've never been to before. We didn't have any trouble finding parking or a table outside around 8 pm on a Saturday night. It was a bit cloudy/rainy that day so I could see how this place would fill up when the weather is better. The patio is covered and there are fans for the summer months. For drinks, we had the bourbon tea punch and an oopsie daisy. We ordered drinks at the same time that we ordered food. Our server was attentive without being too pushy. Everything came out around the same time and we could tell the drinks had been sitting around based on the condensation on the glasses. Both were a little on the sweet side and didn't taste particularly strong, but were still good especially for the price. The fish and chips was interesting because it was fried fish nuggets as opposed to a larger filet. The real standout for me was the Italian grinder on focaccia sandwich. Wow! This was so well crafted and with the softest bread, and was just the right amount of spice. I would come back again and again just to eat that sandwich, and I'm not a huge sandwich person, especially when I go out for dinner. I also love the story behind this place - named after a rescue pit bull! read more

While visiting Atlanta we came across this neighborhood bar and eatery. We sat at the bar next to some regulars who guided us through the menu. The bar tenders were very attentive and helpful. We ordered a couple allagash white beers. I have to say that as a white ale lover it was one of the best beers I've had. We ordered the grilled cheese w/ tomato soup bisque, shrimp skewers, lamb skewers, mushroom skewers, and the sticky sesame wings. All was great. I especially liked the shrimp skewers that had the perfect amount of flavorful spice. We enjoyed our food so much we ended up ordering a fudgy pecan cookie. Wow! That cookie was the bomb! The filling of ganache was light and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place. read more
