The service felt very personal, which really stood out, and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd want from a diner. While I can see why so many people love this place, I thought the food itself was pretty comparable to what you'd expect from a good local diner. It was solid and enjoyable, just not something that particularly stood out to me given the hype. That said, the excellent service and welcoming environment made it a place I'd happily visit again.

This was an odd food run. Probably the oddest I've had in ATL. Don't get me wrong, the sandwiches…read morethemselves were aight. Emphasis on aight. Some better than others. They're def on the smaller side but quite economical so grabbing multiple is easy. However the interaction with the staff and the handling of my order threw me completely off and unfortunately dampened the actual experience of the food. For someone who had ordered online and already paid, it took WAY too long for me to get food that was already prepared and sitting on the counter. I walked in and it was almost like no one wanted my money. One of the staff passed by me to go outside and ran into me but didn't address it at all. Not even a "whoops". The young man behind the bar was casually talking to another customer who was clearly on their way out. No problem, until it became a problem. I stood there for several minutes not knowing whether to interrupt their convo, and once I realized I wouldn't be addressed otherwise I decided to just butt in. I work in the service industry and truly could never imagine leaving a new customer hanging like that. Mind you, I wasn't even in a rush and was enjoying my rainy day... which should let you know how ridiculous this interaction was. To make matters worse, they literally just threw the sandwiches in a paper bag. I don't mind minimalist packaging. But this was just disrespectful lol. All the sandwiches were just mashed together and deformed and unsightly once unwrapped. Unfortunately I don't remember any of them because they just weren't memorable. The interaction in the restaurant didn't make it any better. I've seen comments that some of the young (mostly white) "hipster" staff can be oddly passive aggressive to certain clientele... usually I don't agree with those views but man that day really made me think they had a point. First and last time. No bueno.

But that could just be the bite I had because my friend really liked it. I love the okie dokie(?) sandwich because I love artichoke hearts. It's definitely on the smaller side so I would get two sandwiches next time. The watermelon salad was fun and refreshing. I wouldn't get it again, but I did enjoy the flavor. (Just not sure if I can justify 4$ for a small side salad.)

I have an appointment for my passport, so I came here to eat breakfast. It's a lot of choices, but I love grits so that was what I ate. :-) I ordered home potatoes, grits, eggs and one sausage. My husband had fruit, corn beef hash, grits and some other items. The food was hot and delicious. Our food was pricey, because my husband had quite a few breakfast items. It's $9.49 a pound. That's a lot, if you're on a budget. But, besides that the employees are nice, and restaurant is clean and everything is fresh. If we're in the area, we may visit again.

We hand a little wait while our was being prepared. So me and a friend grabbed a Spicy Mexico City at the bar. It was pretty good. The brunch menu has expensive with plenty of options. There something for everything on there. For our starters we had the Okonomiyaki fries, Peruvian chicken gyoza tacos and the watermelon salad. The Okonomiyaki fries were amazing. The reminded of like a bbq fry. Absolutely loved the flavor. The salad and tacos were also great. For our mains we had the spicy miso herb Caesar salad with poke tuna and the spicy tuna "toast". We all loved it. Both dishes were perfectly portioned and full of flavor. I forgot to take photos, but the decor in the restaurant is super cute. There plenty of seating throughout including the bar, the main area and. The patio area. I'm looking forward to coming back

Our server was Robin. He was pleasant and had really good service. He told us to relax and not worry about the restaurant closing. That made us feel better. Maya and Robin told us to come back for brunch so we did. The food during during was amazing. We got the ahi tuna tacos and the edamame and shared the burger and the salad. Everything was colorful and full of flavor. There isn't one item that left us disappointed. For brunch we came back and had the tuna tacos again. My husband loved them so much he ordered them two more times. We also had the bao Benedict and the tuna toast, which came recommended by Maya. All amazing. Also try the fruit salad and the nachos! For drinks we had the cold brew martini and the Caribbean Coffee made by Jess who was also very kind. I told my husband that the good, colorful food combined with the ambience and amazing service made me feel like I was on a vacation. I love this place and have added to one of my favorites. Cheers!

The parking was easy - paid street parking right outside. Everyone was super nice. I haven't had a lot of Thai food & the cashier was super kind to explain the items to me, and not make me feel dumb! lol. The vibe was great, I sat at the bar and was able to watch some other game highlights. Then the food was delicious. I got the pad-see-ew with the chicken skewers. Really impressive flavor. Made me a little more confident that Downtown Atlanta might be on the rise!

This is gonna be a long one because this place took me for a ride. I hate to sound like but this is…read morea restaurant you'd like only if you've never ventured to NE ATL/BuHi/Norcross for the real bangers. It gives... tourist trap? I have never in my life had Americanized Thai food (or at least been conscience of it) but this tasted every bit of that. Not a single Thai national or descendant cooking or dining in here... I should have slid out the door upon noticing this but we were HONGRY and this place was walking distance. I appreciate the big portions to help alleviate the hunger, but the food going down wasn't even close to a real Thai experience. And the general ambience was definitely off. It's unclear whether this is a casual to-go spot or a sit-down spot or a bar. The service here was confusing. You have to order drinks separately from your food, for one. Secondly, it took a solid 10 minutes for a bartender to walk behind the bar and begrudgingly explain to me what they have available. I would have ordered more but her attitude made me close the tab after one beer. We didn't get served water until after we received our food, a solid 15-20 min after being in the restaurant. It generally felt like no one wanted to be there, and the staff were just moving independently to complete tasks instead of creating a dining experience *together*. There was not a smile from a single person I interacted with. I'd most likely not return purely because the dining experience is just plain out uncomfortable. On to the food. Mostly oil and noodles except for the papaya salad, which was... okay. Again, big portions. Nice heat. But just okay. The whole cherry tomatoes on top were a little weird and screamed laziness. The tofu kee mao was... okay. Same for the chicken pad thai. Lots of oil. This food made us feel pretty tired after eating it, which I've rarely experienced eating Thai cuisine. And they were very, very stingy with the protein. My husband counted 4-5 little slivers of chicken and hella noodles. The same was true for my tofu dish. I mean... it's tofu y'all. Cheap. But I can imagine they have to cut these corners because there were about 8 staff members running around in a small space with only a few customers in for happy hour. They do have HH deals on drinks depending on the day, but I found the drinks to be overpriced and not worth it. Especially the beer. And a $10 non-alcoholic cocktail is wild imo, especially for the scanty area this area is in. They are certainly milking the fact that they are in eyeshot of the Mercedes Benz stadium. The inside is beautiful and very ~trendy~ and honestly that tells me exactly where the focus is. I'd rate this a 2, but I'm adding a star for the spotless restrooms.

That being said, it didn't seem to take long for the food to be served and the staff were fantastic - extremely friendly and chatty in a way that is less common these days that it should be.

It was also convenient to park in the underground garage and make the short walk up to the restaurant.

Oh babyyy, I am a new fan. I see what all the hype is about!…read more I visited Necessary Purveyor on recommendation from my teammate, Sierra, as we planned lunch for two. As soon as she dropped their name, it was an immediate yes for me. I have heard, seen and read so many great things about the food and service, it was about time that I visited. Located at Ponce City Market, finding the restaurant is incredibly easy and there's lot and street parking all over. We visited on a weekday afternoon and I snagged a parking spot easily, and strolled right in. Necessary Purveyor is beautiful! It reminded me of a little French bistro. There are a number of tables all over and it's seat-yourself style. I grabbed a table as I waited for Sierra and took some time to look around. I love that they have fridges setup that have wine, beer, different sodas and juices, picnic needs and even some of their chicken salad and pastas to go. So many options! To order, guests must line up and order at the register and then your food is brought to your table. When I first entered, there were a number of parties sitting down but there was still space. As noon rolled around, it got thick in there! I could tell that the lunch rush was on and wow, did Necessary Purveyor get hit. But the team handled everyone so smoothly, the guests were patient and were rewarded by a swift ordering process. For lunch, Sierra went in knowing that she wanted their chicken salad as she said it was her favorite. I opted for the Mexican wrap and that bad boy was huge! All of the wraps that I saw coming out were massive. I'll definitely be back for a chicken caesar wrap! I loved that we could see all of the food being prepared behind the glass. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to go back!

The food also came out within 5 to 10 minutes of ordering. The chips and salsa are so good. The chips taste homemade. Not like your regular Mexican restaurant chips. The salsa is also very tasty and thick. I bet it is made in house, daily. Order the Barbacoa Mulita. The meat was very tender, and the Mulita was so flavorful! I was afraid that the portion would be small so I ordered a side of rice and beans. Definitely did not need the side of rice and beans. But they were good. Also ordered a Horchata to drink. So good!!! Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

The plastic on the packaging is surprisingly hard to tear and the sauce packet itself is overstuffed. So when I finally got it open, the hot sauce gushed all over the place. In trying to clean up myself and my surroundings, I reached for a napkin from the dispenser but the napkin tore apart under the stress of being removed. The next napkin in the dispenser did the same. The napkins had no integrity and just kept ripping... so it took me about 1000 of them to clean up the sauce mess... The staff is friendly & engaging, and effective. Which is refreshing. Tip your bartenders and servers. The prices are beltline, but no different from the original location... the Lee/White location itself is a little warehouse-y and gives you the feeling that there is definitely a wall between you and the other side of a food hall... Well, the food shocked me by how unremarkable it is - in appearance, aroma, & flavor... is the food at the original location actually any good? Or were we just thankful for their patio in 2020? If these things sound good to you, then you should check it out... I personally am going to stick with gas station tacos as long as I'm in Atlanta...
