I sat inside where there was table, bar, and highboy seating. I ordered the Smoked & Fried Wings buffalo, with upcharge for flats/drums and an extra sauce (one Ranch and one Bleu Cheese). And the Shorty Johnson, which is a pair of deep fried back-wrapped beef dogs with a side of fries. The wings were scrawny without much meat. But the flavors were great and the smokiness came through. And the buffalo seasoning was nice and the flats were tender. The Blue cheese dipping sauce was chunky and had a good flavor. The Ranch dipping sauce was boring and did not have the punchy flavor of a hand made dressing. The carrot and celery were adequate. The hot dog was properly cooked and drained and the bacon wrapping had a good texture. But there was no bacon flavor, although the flavor of the dog itself was good. The bun was dry and flavorless. The side of fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned and a good portion. Service was barely adequate. They delivered the wings but did not provide any napkins and I had to wait for them to pass by and get their attention to request them. My drink refill was also a bit slow in coming.

A friend recommended this new spot because they offer $1.50 oysters and other happy hour specials on Thursdays. There were four of us in our party. While I didn't partake in the oysters, my group ordered them plate after plate and genuinely loved them. Our server (whose name escapes me) seemed overwhelmed. She took our drink orders, and despite the hefty $17 price tag, I ordered off the specialty cocktail menu. I chose the lychee spiked lemonade, but it tasted exclusively like sweet lemonade with zero alcohol......plus, it was the skinniest drink I've ever seen in my life. For my main, I ordered the honey-glazed lamb chops cooked medium. Three chops came out: one was very large and undercooked (more like medium-rare), which wasn't to my liking, though the flavor itself was good. The other two were cooked well-done, but by that point, we had already waited long enough for our drinks and food. The meal came with mashed potatoes, which were pretty decent, alongside a very underwhelming portion of broccoli. The vibe and atmosphere were nice, but I'm not sure I'd return. That said, it definitely seems like a great spot for oyster lovers.

If you're unfamiliar, the restaurant serves a standard, pre-fixe menu of bread , a salad, frites, and steak. This is where things fell flat for me. The bread is a hard loaf in a paper bag. Maybe an ode to traditional serving, but no one offered to cut the bread nor were we provided a bread knife... my dining mate didn't want to work that hard to get any bread... inconvenient and wasted. The salad... I wasn't at all a fan of the dressing. It was very vinegary and pungent... not at all balanced. The frites were cooked to pure perfection; however, they lacked seasoning. The steak... this is where I was totally disappointed. While the steak was cooked to the right temperature (medium rare), it was sooooooo chewy, no marble... I found myself spitting out tough parts. Maybe Whole Foods' grass fed ribeyes have me spoiled, but this wasn't at all what I would expect of a restaurant that specializes in steak. My beverages (tequila daisy and traditional margarita) were uneventful. I also didn't feel they were balanced. The customer service was excellent. They create a warm and welcoming environment... this is a very romantic venue. Maybe come, enjoy the frites and a cocktail and stare into your lover's eyes

The music and energy always make for a fun night out, and it's easy to see why my friends enjoy coming here. A special shoutout to the fried okra--perfectly seasoned with a crispy coating--and the chicken sandwich, which was juicy, flavorful, and definitely one I'd order again. They were both excellent! My only disappointment was the service timing. I arrived first (a little early because I had a headache), and once my friends arrived about 20 minutes later, I placed my order immediately. They ordered after I did, yet somehow all of their meals came out about 20 minutes before mine. Don't get me wrong--when my food finally arrived, it was fresh, hot, and absolutely worth the wait. I just wish the kitchen had been more consistent with the order in which meals were served, especially since I ordered first. Overall, the delicious food, tasty drinks, live music, and great atmosphere outweigh the hiccup. I'd definitely come back and would still recommend it--just be prepared for a possible wait during busy times. Food: (4/5) Drinks: (4/5) Service: (3/5) Vibe/Entertainment: (5/5) Overall: (4/5)

The Taste of Heaven just happens to be one. I recently spent nearly $70 on 2 chitterling dinners ( don't judge) but what I got was 2 rice dinners with just a coating of chitterlings on top. After waiting over 20 minutes, being only customer when I arrived , I was told that there wasn't enough chitterlings to fill both my orders and offered me oxtails on the platter with the least. Tired of waiting I agreed. When I tasted the chitterlings and the oxtails it was obvious that they had been thawed a couple of time. They were so over seasoned and spicy hot that it was closer to a taste of hell! On a positive note, the place was very clean with the strong scent of Pine Sol in the air, and the lady who took my order was very nice.

My friend and I wanted to try something different, and when she suggested Boxcar, I literally asked, "Where is that?" She pointed out that it was in the same area we'd been standing in countless times. For anyone visiting for the first time, it is a little tucked away past the food hall. You'll also need to walk up a set of stairs to reach the restaurant, which is worth knowing ahead of time if stairs are inconvenient or inaccessible for you. Once inside, I really liked the atmosphere. They also offer outdoor seating, but with the Georgia heat that day, there was absolutely no discussion--we were sitting INSIDE. Our server was Najah (please forgive me if I'm misspelling!), and she was AWESOME. Such a warm spirit, great energy, and exactly the type of person you'd want greeting you whether it's your first visit or your tenth. Since this was my first time, I asked for recommendations. We started with the Boom Boom Shrimp from the happy hour menu, which is available Monday through Friday until 7 PM. The shrimp? 10/10. No notes! For our entrées, my friend ordered the fish and chips, which she loved--and it came with hush puppies, so really, how could you go wrong? I ordered the Bourbon Bacon Jam Smashburger, and it was cooked perfectly. I don't even remember being asked how I wanted it cooked, but somehow they knew exactly what needed to happen. And that bacon jam?! I LOVE a sweet-and-salty combination, so it was right up my alley. The fries were fire too, but apparently I was feeling a little greedy because I noticed mac & cheese on the menu and decided I needed that as well. LISTEN. I would've been perfectly happy if somebody had taken away everything else and left me alone with that mac & cheese. It was THAT good. Easily 20/10. I actually had to ask Najah who made it because I needed to understand what exactly was happening back there! She told me about the chef, who is Caribbean and from New York, and as someone with Caribbean roots who is also from New York, I may be a little biased--but suddenly I understood why that mac & cheese spoke to my spirit the way it did. I've literally been telling people about it ever since. There's still so much on the menu that caught my attention, including the lamb burger, Brussels sprouts, short rib, and several other dishes. I've included a picture of the menu because there's definitely more exploring to do here. As far as seating, Boxcar seems pretty versatile. There were just two of us, but there's plenty of indoor seating along with bar seating, and I could easily see a group of around 10-12 being comfortable. I also noticed what appeared to be a separate space toward the back that may be available for larger gatherings. Between Najah's wonderful service, the atmosphere, everything we ordered, and THAT MAC & CHEESE, Boxcar absolutely earned a return visit. I've already been bragging about the mac & cheese to everybody who will listen, so now I'm looking forward to finding out what I'll be bragging about after my next visit.

Lee and White is a massive warehouse with a food hall and other businesses attached. It's right on the Beltline, making it a popular place to hang out. Parking is usually a challenge because this place is always packed. The good thing is that it's free for 2-hours and some places validate for longer. Boxcar is located near the front entrance of Lee and White. Inside is very relaxed and chill like a typical brewery. It wasn't very crowded and most of my party was already there when I arrived. Service was fairly quick and pleasant. I decided to order a side of Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and a chicken Cobb salad. Both were fine, but nothing to rave about. I felt that the Brussels could have been crispier. I probably wouldn't come back here, but glad I could try a new spot.

This time we decided to eat at the Atlanta location and the vibe was just as chill with a nice cozy fall vibe. The music was just right as it pulls you back to being in your own living room with the 90s R&B playing in the background. We started with peach and pineapple lemonades, followed by the fruit plate before our breakfast entrees. The food truly tasted as good as it looks. Im not a grits girl at all, but I had to try it because the presentation was so esthetically pleasing. I was not disappointed with the combination of fried, and smooth textures and great flavor. The sauce they poured over the grits had all the flavoring needed to take your taste buds on a trip. Then there's the vanilla bean waffle with colossal butterflied fried shrimp. I live for this dish back in N.Y., so this is always a go to meal for me! The shrimp taste so good with a saltiness that brings out the vanilla bean taste of the waffle. Definitely try it out whenever you're in town & remember to make a reservation so you don't have to wait. Paid parking on the side of the building .

They don't have cocktails but there were some tasty mocktails on the menu. My fish and grits came with crawfish and salmon which was perfectly cooked, the grits were so tasty and filling, next we had the crab and crawfish mac and cheese which was also very tasty and delicious, and finally we ordered the fried chicken tacos which were giant and extremely tasty! All in all the food was better than we imagined, there were a couple aesthetic things that could've been improved but it looks like the staff was a bit unorganized in getting the food out, possibly due to a spill or accident that seemed to have happened right before we got there. Bar seating left my glutes and hamstrings a little sore, so hopefully there will be more comfortable seats (and alcohol!) the next time we visit. They were out of a few staple items but all the patrons seemed to be happy with their orders. *Note- Atlanta restaurant with grass walls, fairly cheap parking nearby, mostly friendly staff, no cocktails but the food is delicious! We'll definitely be back!
