Not bad per se, but not great. Interesting type of vibe, feels kind of like a neighborhood sports bar. The service was spotty. Not really clear on who was taking care of us, but the staff was pleasant. Burgers were just eh. Beer was a bit flat, but they had a decent selection. I can say I've now been here. That's about it. read more

The place serves frozen patties to their patrons. The manager on duty was a jerk! Avoid this shit hole!! Not worth a star!!

We like to come here on game days for the wings and beer to try their fun holiday offerings (like Octoberfest). There is a good selection of beer and they have several of our favorite local breweries. Service is always prompt and friendly and there is plenty of room for parties. The space is big and airy. They also have an outdoor space but it didn't seem like it was used very much the couple of times we visited. read more

I was in North Georgia and found this Dive Bar. It seemed promising. When we walked in it was an instant Cheers through back.. You millennials may not understand the Cheers reference..Google it... The service was prompt and courteous. The menu was robust. I ordered a Burger and Fries ans had Calamari appetizers. Over all the food was fair. The burger was flavorless it the Calamari was decent. There were lots of brews to choose from and plenty of TV monitors. Not a bad spot ti watch the games.. read more

I think this would be a fun place to hang out and have a beer, but the food was not very good. The pretzel appetizer was the best thing we had. The steak salad comes dressed and they put WAY too much dressing on it. I barely ate half. The steak also is chopped into tiny pieces. Overall, I would not come back for food. Just a beer. read more

We spend quite a bit of time at Summits Wayside Tavern. You can usually find us there on Friday's playing trivia. We got to the Beer University once a month. Andy, the owner, cares very much about your experience there. Ryan, Roger and all of the staff are very attentive. There is usually a monthly theme. This month Georgia Beer Month. There is a carefully curated beer list. There is no longer Crab Leg Wednesday. Thanks Pandemic. We the Lemon Pepper Wings. Harvest Bowl. Singapore Chicken Bowl and Chicken Tender platter. It's an extensive menu to go with your beer selection. I try to overlook some of the things that need attention. The bathroom (at least the Womens) needs attention. The Wifi signal is terrible. I love Andy. I love the people that are happy to see us. Come see us on Friday. Let's play trivia. read more

Summits has been one of our favorites, for a good 15 years! The wings remain among the best of the best with TMI, on the side. But, don't forget the blue cheese fries. You won't find anything exactly like em, anywhere else. Oh, did I forget to mention a beer selection equal to the finest in North America? I'll see you there! read more

Visiting on a Sunday afternoon for dinner while taking in a Braves game on the giant screen. This hidden gem is large on the inside. Lots of TV screens and a large selection of drafts. Service was excellent although it was not too busy. Brianna our waitress was very welcoming and informed about the menu & brews. They have outside deck seating although it was hot and humid. Josh is the manager and he welcomed us as this was our first visit upon recommendations from other friends. read more

Dig the sports bar atmosphere. Awesome beer selection. Service was friendly. The burger was fresh, well cooked, and well topped. Clean and no smoking. And no prices on the brew menu. Which should have been a clue. I bought two and they were twenty bucks! As a TacoMac Man, I have no problem paying for a good pint, but my buddy and my two burgers and two (regular sized) beers with a decent tip was nearly $100 bucks. Sheesh. At least put a price on the menu folks. read more

Stopped into Summits on the way to the Doobie Brothers concert - enjoyed the venue - plenty of TVs and the atmosphere was great. Food was. Dry good - beer options even better. It is well worth the stop. read more

We eat here often and had several things on the menu! I love the fish and chips. The Rueben's are delicious. We've had the huge Oktoberfest pretzel (pictured) salads are great. The calamari is pretty good. Burgers are great. Garlic fries are bomb af! It's a sports bar with a huge menu - get drunk, try stuff. read more

Been coming here for years and I was truly disappointed in my food today. I ordered a Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich. Too much bread and cheese (I guess it was cheese) but gross. My wife got the breaded wings and they were delicious so my advice is to stick with the chicken, forget the beef! read more

This was my first time ordering from this place. The wings were undercooked ( yes I had to throw them away) then they added very little lemon pepper seasoning. The only thing that was a little bit decent was the fries and that was cold . I just wasted my money for nothing... This is my first and most definitely my last time ordering here. read more

Home away from home. We love the beer, food is great, and the people are amazing. We especially love visiting with Andy. It is always a special treat to get to visit with him when we come in and he is here. Would be here almost every day if we could - and we used to be when we lived closer! :). Still my favorite place!! Every chance we get! read more

Summit's food has potential but falls short. The wings sauces are unique and good but the wings themselves were way undercooked and soggy. It took an hour to get 10 wings and fries. Not only did it take an hour for the entrée but the chips and queso appetizer came out at the same time. The fries and queso were average. read more

Love Summits! Nice vibes, lots of TV's for sports, so many food and beer options. Service is great too. I recommend the bang bang shrimp and Kona burger! read more

Stopped in for a Saturday lunch, and it was pretty empty. Service was spot on spectacular! Now the downside... I tried "Georgia's best reuben" and was totally underwhelmed. I thought for sure if you have the guts to name a sandwich as such, it should surely be a winner, but sadly, not the case. I've probably had a worse reuben, but not sure of I can remember where. Wife's grilled chicken salad was much better than my sandwich. One soda, reuben, and a chicken salad, $30.90 + tip, so on the pricey side for what you're getting. read more

Holy crap! Literally roach infested! 2 roaches visited us at our table tonight within 5 minutes of each other. The first one a small one and I was thinking "gross" but must be a fluke because if I was a baby roach that's exactly where I would want to be. BUT, the second visitor was huge and looked like it had been stepped on multiple times by the cracks and marks on it but it was still chugging along like the gangsta roach it was! We paid and walked out without taking our boxed food and will never be visiting again. Please, close for a few weeks and do some exterminating! People do not want to be dealing with roach visitors at their booth on a Friday night when they are just trying to relax after a long week! read more

The drink prices should 100% be listed on the menu. I never, never, never would have ordered a $9 IPA draft beer. That's just ridiculous. They had a huge selection of beers, but the prices are outrageous. Go to Good Old Dyas instead. Doubtful that we will be back. read more

We're going to go with a two star here because of a few things- a) the service was good, I was never left wanting for a refill, napkin, spoon, dips etc. Our server was extremely attentive. b) the burgers were very tasty. Solid food all around, everyone enjoyed their meal. c) it's a great environment for our family with kids who are sometimes loud. Now onto the reason we left in a sour mood. We ordered two burgers, two beers and two mixed drinks and a kids meal. Nothing fancy, a normal meal out for us plus a few drinks. The beer prices are not posted in the menu but hey, it's on tap beer, you're expecting $3-6 right? We had two pours that were EIGHT dollars each. That's a six pack of decent beer at the store. Absolutely outrageous. I had two bloody Mary's. I hardly ever drink, I'm typically a light weight but hey, it was a good week, we wanted to celebrate and we had a DD. I ended up drinking them fairly quickly because the kids were getting rowdy and we wanted to leave. I felt literally nothing. If these things had a tablespoon of alcohol in them I'd be surprised. They did at least use a decent mixer so it tasted good but what's the point of blowing $14 on two cups of tomato juice? So here we are. Two burgers, two overpriced beers, two weak mixed drinks and a kids meal. $70 You fooled us once, it won't happen again. read more

Ok, so this is my second time here, the first being for Trivia Night a few nights ago. I wasn't all that hungry then, so I just split some wings with my hubby...which were decent. However, the menu selection was really intriguing and I was anxious to come back. Today I was itching for a burger. Summits has an entirely separate insert in their menu for burgers. You can build your own burger or select one of their own creations. You have the option of selecting your meat, your bun, your cheese, your toppings, etc...The American Kobe with pimiento cheese and smoked applewood bacon sounded really tasty to me, so I decided to give it a try. They even had jalepeno ranch to dip my fries in. When my burger arrived I was a little disappointed, just a flat perfectly shaped patty sitting between two buns, no lettuce, pickles,tomatoes, no presentation. The flavor wasn't bad, it was decent, nothing to write home about...I guess I just I just had higher expectations. Ok, now why am I just giving it 3 stars? I feel kind of guilty because maybe I shouldn't complain because the alternative would be way worse, but the waitress, kept coming over to check on me. It started to get annoying and felt kind of intrusive. She offered my check before I finished eating and right after delivering my drink and even tried to take my plate while I was eating. I actually paid my check and didn't order anything else, although I probably would have, just so she'd leave me alone. I have a feeling she must be new to this, but still. So, the 3 stars are for mediocre food and 1 bad experience with a server. I will probably still come back, but I won't come with such high expectations. read more

Went here for a birthday dinner and left less than impressed. I had called the day before and asked if they took reservations. They said they do not normally, but since I had a group, they would be sure something was set up in advance. When our party arrived, however, nothing was set up and the hostess said she had no idea about any reservations. After being seated, we ordered some food and, honestly, I think it went down from there. We ordered the calamari which it states have a Thai chili sauce with it - which I normally love. These calamari, however, were completely smothered in the sauce and the taste was overwhelming. The pieces of calamari inside were tiny and could not be tasted at all through the breading and heavy sauce. I order calamari frequently at restaurants as it is one of my favorite appetizers and I can honestly say this was the grossest calamari I have ever tasted and most of the dish went uneaten. Now on to the main meal. I got the medium buffalo wings, which, to be honest were pretty good. Very hot and fresh, a good size, and not swimming in sauce (unlike the calamari). Our table tried several different types of fries and all went uneaten. I had the regular that state they come with their seasoning on it. I'm not entirely sure what was in the seasoning, but it was covering every inch of the fries and tasted like they mainly just dumped paprika all over them. It was inedible. Another member of our party got the garlic fries which came with a similar seasoning but also had garlic chunks dumped all over them. Typically a garlic fry had a garlic SEASONING SALT on them, not runny garlic from a jar. It was disgusting and those too went uneaten. Yet another member of our party tried the pickle fries (fried pickles in the shape of fries) and was underwhelmed as well as they were mainly batter. While I did enjoy my wings, many others at the table got burgers - and many burgers were left largely uneaten by the end. I was told the meat quality was extremely poor and the burgers had bad flavor as a result. Our waitress seemed nice enough; however, she would frequently disappear for long periods of time. And, considering the amount of food left uneaten on the table you would have thought she would at least ask if everything was okay. Yet that never happened. When we got our checks, there was a paper inside saying you can get $10 off your bill for a birthday. As we were there for a birthday, we asked if it would apply. The waitress instantly said no, you have to do it online. I understand normal processes and following them; however, when you have someone whose birthday it is sitting right there, good customer service instincts should kick in and you make it happen. But alas, she did not seem to care that we all hated our food, never asked how anything was, refused the birthday discount and I'm not sure she ever even smiled. Overall, except for the wings I had, this place was terrible and I plan on never returning. I only gave it a 2-star over the 1 for the wings. Otherwise, avoid as much as possible. read more

I was fairly unimpressed with the salad I ordered. The iceberg lettuce was brown in some spots and it did not taste fresh. A nice bed of spring mix or spinach and arugula would have elevated this salad so much. The chicken tasted like it had been re-heated in the microwave and the garlic sweet potato fries were covered in sugar, which coupled with the garlic was a very strange and unpleasant taste. read more

this place is literally horrible. me and my boyfriend decided to give it a chance because we wanted to try something new. ended up paying 60 dollars for two entrees and an appetizer and we barely ate any of it. food tastes like it's been sitting inside a dumpster for 6 months and i'm so serious. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DONT EAT HERE!! read more

We recently gave Summits Tavern a try. Checked out trivia night, it was fun. We quickly realized we need to find some very smart friends! Didn't come in dead last place, but close! Lol. Typical sports bar theme, lots of tvs. Tons of beer choices. We only had appetizers. Omg, the biggest soft pretzel we've ever had! It was very yummy! Also had the queso and chips. They were just ok. Server was friendly and informative. He checked on us many many times. All in all we will probably be back to try it again. Oh they have an air hockey machine and some video games by the way. Couldn't take any photos during our visit, wasn't allowed to pull out the phones during trivia! ;) read more

The service was great attended and greeted very friendly. To begin with the place is pretty big they also have a sitting area outside. Also the Bar side is pretty amazing. Their drinks menu is so long they have wine, beer, crafted beer, liquor, and whiskey. In addition the food that I got which was the Chicken tenders weren't that good, but the fries were great. My friends got the other plates which they didn't like either. As well I got dessert but I forgot to take a picture of it. It was so good it had Vanilla ice cream, whip cream, and brownie too so delicious. Further more our waiter was amazing very attentive. If I come visit Cummings again I well come to drink or eat dessert but for sure not food. read more

We used to (years ago, before Covid) come here pretty frequently for a beer and a burger or wings. Pleasant enough place, lots of beers, but kind of noisy when people showed up with their kids. It was OK. Today, 6/17/23, it was quiet, I ordered a Modelo Negra and chicken fingers broiled. My wife had some kind of quesadilla. The beer was warm and was an Especial, not Negra. No worries. I've never had a bad beer. The chicken fingers resembled a small mutilated rodent, the fries were undercooked or mushy, and the little serving of coleslaw was warm and weirdly seasoned, possibly dangerous. My wife's quesadillas were soggy, had way too much stuff in them, and quite possibly an entire jar of jalapeño slices. Boy. It was rough. We didn't finish any of it and, not surprisingly, the waitress didn't seem surprised when she asked "How was everything?" and we said "not good." She was nice, though. Good waitress. read more

I only gave it 2 stars ! Had the wings many times but this time they was terrible . Very fatty and the lemon pepper was not enough.

SOOOOOOO after my boyfriend pulls up to this joint, I'm looking at him like is he for serious b/c this place doesn't look like the type of place I'd typically go to (sort of run down looking, kind of out of our way to where he lives). Rule number one: don't judge a book (or in this case, restaurant) by its cover! We went inside and sat ourselves at a booth (sign said to seat ourselves). Within minutes a server came by to give us our menus. First thing I noticed was the extensive menu with PLENTY of seafood options----LOVE! What we ordered: -CHICKEN FLATBREAD: We didn't find anything in the appetizer menu that really drew us in, so we opted for a pizza to share as an app. The flatbread is EXTREMELY cheesy so beware. That might not be a problem for some people, but I can't do that much cheese in one sitting so I had to pick about 3/4 of the cheese off in order to consume. It's not your typical flatbread---it's loaded with toppings and sort of resembles a fully loaded crunchy bread with lots of toppings/cheese on top. 3 stars -BLACKENED GROUPER SANDWICH: YUM! Fish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and came between deliccccious and fluffy french bread. I opted for the side salad as my side item...what I liked about it was instead of croutons, they use mustard flavored pretzels as the crunch. Yum! -KENMORE BURGER: If you are looking for the king of burgers, I'd suggest ordering this. This burger is HHUUUGGEE! Basically, if you like decently priced, HUGE PORTIONS, Summits Wayside Tavern is the way to go. I'd like to point out that our server was on point with everything. Nicolas came when we needed him, didn't mess up our order one bit, and was super friendly. We will be coming back! read more

You can't beat the beer selection...anywhere....period. 200+ on tap with 100+ in a bottle. It's also cold, unlike Taco Mac. The food is mediocre. The burgers are $10-$14.00, and they are huge, but they aren't amazing or anything. I'd say just average bar food. I may go back, I may not. It wasn't a thrilling experience. read more

I kept seeing this place pop up on "best burger" lists but I haven't made it until now. Wife ordered the patty melt and I got the Kobe burger and fries. First the bad, The patty melt came out and the onions were actually cold ... obviously they have to pre-prepare them but they weren't even warmed on the grill when the burger was cooked .... my burger came out ok but we need to be honest about all this. If you're looking for a little better ambiance with food the quality of like an average chain restaurant then you're good but if you expect something on the "best burger of Atlanta list" this is not your place .... it basically seems like a boxed frozen burger patty thrown on a grill and I'm not even convinced the "Kobe" patty with the upcharge was any different than the regular restaurant style burger patty like chilis or something ..... it wasn't bad, I wouldn't say it was disappointing but when you build up from a list that says this place has one of the best burgers in the Atlanta area you're going to be very, very, thoroughly, disappointed. Added to this, avoid the nachos ... I mean really, just no. If you're expecting pub style nachos with meat, cheese, the regular fixins, etc you won't like this, it's like soupy beans and chilly just poured over chips with some cheese .... it makes them wet, soggy and gross then they just pile a bunch of stuff on top so you don't see what's going on underneath ..... the service was great though and the manager, Roger, was nice enough to fix my wife's burger, take the nachos off the tab and even sent us over an order of their desert funnel cake like fries on the house ..... and this is where it gets good. I would go back to this place just for this desert, I've never seen something like this not at a fair or something and it was DELICIOUS .... so all things being equal, they do some things very well, and some things meh .... but the food is decent enough to sit down for and isn't too expensive ... and the service was great... and when they did fall down food wise the service made up for it pretty well but go somewhere else if you want a special, amazing burger because this probably isn't your place. read more

Love this place. Good food selection. Nice attentive staff. Got to watch the Kentucky derby.

I have been coming to this place for 19 years. I left the ATL for 13 of them but I continue to comeback for their delicious wings and beer selection. Pete was a bartender 19 years ago and still there. He is such a pleasant person to be around when you have a rough day. The menu items have evolved and the food has gotten better. If I wrote a review 19 yrs ago probably a 3.5 stars. However now definitely 5. Great place for the family on early evenings or the weekend. Beer tastings with the most unique beers you will try in GA See you soon at Summits read more

All you can eat crab legs night with friends! Service was spot on! Wednesday nights, the place to be for crab legs!

This was a great find. Two visits thus far and we are hooked. First there are many great appetizers. We love the fried pickles, kimchi fries, German pretzel with cheese (awesome mustard) and buffalo dip. First visit I tried the corned beef. That was really good. On my second trip I tried the mushroom Swiss burger. I was surprised when the burger arrived. It was huge! And I did enjoy it!! The menu is varied with lots of different types of food. They have deli items like corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, fajitas and quesadillas, huge selection of burgers, salads and other items. Then there's in insane selection of draft beer!!! There are about 170 selections tonight but it can be as much as 200-250!!! read more

I took my daughter here yesterday for her birthday. She had been once before with her boyfriend and loved it. We were not disappointed. The Onion Mountain with homemade ranch was a great start. She had Nachos all the way and I had the House burger that was made with locally sourced beef, and the garlic fries. Both were great. We ended with the Beignet Fries for dessert. Yum! Our waitress Brianna was fantastic with an attitude to match. Top notch service. We will be back! read more

This was a great first date destination where there was a huge variety of beer and the wings were delicious. Andy was awesome and was a great addition to the evening. Would highly recommend! read more

Food and beer selection are excellent. Wings are the bomb.com, sandwiches are crave worthy, and burgers are cooked perfect and filling. Bartenders are knowledgeable, although the server we got didn't seem interested in being there that day. You can tell the kitchen knows what's up, food is the shining star here. They have a small arcade for kids to play which is nice to find these days, sports are on, but the rest of the atmosphere could use a little update. Good place to bring a buddy for a beer and a bite, but maybe not a date. I'll be back. read more
