    Rice bowl

    Best thing I ever had 10/10 the best drink is pineapple lemonade food taste amazing i had the 10 dollars special

    Salmon Griller with veggies and cheese
    Iveri J.

    First visit was pretty good. FYI the location is the plaza of Wayfield grocery and the hours of operation are incorrect on here. We arrived about 20mins before opening time at 12pm and were very first orders of the day. Cashier extremely nice and helpful and food was ready in 15 mins. I really like how they have a buzzer system and you can order together and pay separately so that group orders ready at the same time. Salmon griller rice bowl with cheese, all veggies and shrimp - phenomenal! The food was well seasoned and flavorful. Rice was perfect and that Taste Bud sauce set it off! They only give one small container of sauce so just pay for extra one it's almost required lol. My sister tried the Steak Pineapple Griller with spinach, mushrooms and cheese. The pineapple also isn't really palatable just for decoration and it costs more. The packaging for the pineapple bowls are not suitable for traveling so I would strongly urge owners to find alternative packaging options. We both tried the pineapple lemonade and agreed it was not that great as the TikTok made it look lol. It is definitely just koolaid/lemonade with no lemon. Our meals were about $20 each with tax so it wasn't bad on the wallet and having quality food. Unfortunately we were so hangry so there wasn't much time for a photo shoot lol If I am on this side of town and want non- fast food I will return, but I'm not going out of my way for it unfortunately.

    Got my order wrong had to return to store to complain ! Wait was over 40 minutes!!! Do NOT RECOMMEND!! Children was over the register underage to crying and complaining over while i was making my order ! 0/10 go some else yall !!!

    This place gives me tropical vibes! I had been hearing about the pineapple grilled and when I went on their ig and saw I could eat out of a pineapple I had to try it! It did not disappoint! I got rice, salmon, onions, bell peppers, pineapple, cheese, with a shrimp skewer placed on top... eat was absolutely delicious! We had to wait almost an hour for it but with the covid-19 times going on I'm practicing patience. It was worth the wait and I will definitely be going back for another pineapple Griller! Oh and their customer service was excellent. You gotta check out my pics!

    I've been wanting to visit this spot for some time now. I'm very mindful of how and who I send my money with. I especially do my best to support black business in Decatur, but I won't support a business that doesn't appreciate its customers. I would like to start off by saying the customer service was great. The lady at the counter could tell it was my first time there so she went over the menu and made recommendations. Ultimately I settled on Shrimp Grillers. I waited about 10 minute for my food-typical. The disappointment came about when I got my food. Immediately I noticed my food was put in a to go container that was turned upside down minimizing the amount of food I got. To make matters worst the container was one of the smaller sizes used for lunch portions- eye roll!! It came with 4 medium size shrimp, a boat load of cheese, veggies and 1 cup of cooked riced. Which means I had to cook dinner after going out to buy dinner. I read the reviews but still decided to give them a try. Unfortunately I won't be going back. I understand that businesses need to make a profit but I don't like feeling that Im being taken advantage of in regards to the way they're manipulating the portion sizes.

    Overall the food was amazing! I had the Salmon and Chicken Pineapple Rice bowl with veggies with the pineapple lemonade! The customer service could have been better, it wasn't bad but I have to mention that!

    Had the pleasure of trying TasteBuddz out during Yelp Restaurant Week. Had not heard of this place before but wishing I had. I've obviously been missing out on some things. TasteBuddz Atl is located in a humble shopping center (w/a Wayfields grocery) close to the intersection of Columbia Drive & Glenwood Road. There is signage above the restaurant entrance. Don't recall seeing it on the shopping center's signage. Just know that it's there. It's a small establishment that could seat maybe 10-12 people tops. I imagine they get a lot of take-out orders. Customer service was really great! I was greeted promptly after entering. The young lady was very helpful and patient since this was my first visit. She walked me thru their ordering process and gave me a some recommendations since I was a first-timer. I decided to go all the way and get a pineapple griller w/chicken, peppers, broccoli, cheese and the TasteBuddz sauce on the side. I also was easily persuaded to try the pineapple lemonade. So good!! Let me discuss the pineapple griller. This is something I'd expect to see on the menu at an island resort situated right off the beach with a slight warm breeze brushing my face. Um...yes. It's time for a vacation. But I digress. This dish was really good! It's served up in a half portion of a pineapple. Cool presentation. And it's seasoned well. And the sauce was tasty too! The pineapple lemonade w/italian ice was the bomb-diggity!! Can't wait to get this on one of our hot summer (or spring) days.

    Soooooooooo good. I've been three times, taken my dad and my uncle and we all love it. Bomb food and service. If you go definitely try the mango sherbet lemonade and the salmon and shrimp pineapple grillers.

Heard about them from coworkers and decided to go check them out for myself. Despite being named "Wings n Grill" they have soooooo much more to offer. My usual order is the 6pc and fish combo. Comes with 6 wings, fries, 2pc catfish (NICE SIZED!!) and a drink. The catfish is truly CHEF'S KISS!! Cooked to perfection The wings are also a missile! My favorite flavor combo is the Hot Honey Lemon Pepper. I've also tried Ranch (fried regular, then tossed in dry rub) and Honey Garlic+Teriyaki, all delicious but the HHLP are number one for me. The options are endless. Even the fries are always fried just right, golden brown and crispy. The only negative about the place is their mix of lemonade,fruit and peach punches. To me, they're weak and all taste like sugar water. Always find myself having to ad something to it, or opting to just get a fountain drink. S/O to the the guy taking the orders (the white guy that's always there). He's great and keeps things running smooth in there. If you're ever nearby in the area and you hungry, stop in there and treat yourself to something BIGBACK and deliciouss!

The staff was efficient despite having been swept up understaffed with a late night 20+ party. They got the order in quickly, and food came out faster than expected. No issues with accuracy! Our waters were refilled quickly despite the rush and everything arrived together and hot. Great for a quick, casual stop when you don't want to wait long. FOOD We stopped in for a quick Friday dinner and ordered the burger, brisket dip with waffle fries, and a tendies basket. The burger was juicy and cooked to order (medium rare as asked!) with a nice toasted bun. The brisket dip was tender and flavorful, and the sweet waffle fries came out hot and crispy too. The tendies basket was solid: well-seasoned, not greasy, and a good portion for sharing. Overall, the hits were the brisket dip and waffle fries; the burger and tendies were reliable. Craving a greasy comfort food spot for the day, and this was pretty darn solid for the price and friendly fast service! AMBIANCE The vibe is relaxed and neighborhood-friendly with an outdoor area with standing room and the TV. The music can be a bit loud for overall taste, but hey it's a lively spot for a Friday night....a buzz is definitely obvious and great for drinks or low-key hangout...and the space feels busy without being chaotic.

It's adjacent to a parking deck and small. Very cozy, though! The menu is simple and it was a one-man show that day (other staff had left due to closing). LOVED IT!

I did the hot chick ... yeah, I can get away with saying that ... and it was huge, overflowing, tender and fresh. This is a SOLID spot. I was told they'd be re-opening nearby and I hope that's the case. They were BUSY as well so it's clearly not a customer issue. Check them out when they re-open. Simple and amazing!

Ok listen, this spot is in the cut wedged between Bank of America and the back of Cornerstone Bank. It has about 7 booths and 4 tables (mostly 2 tops). Customer service is warm and friendly, it always feels like you've known the guys working for years. Now the food...O.M.G. My favorite is the ATL chick which is juicy fried chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce and... ANNNND... lemon pepper. Cmon. We're in ATL. What other way is there?! Then it has ranch drizzled on top and dressed how you want... lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle. Even the bread is yummy. The sweet potato fries are crispy and airy and go great with the comeback sauce which is whatever smoky heavenly concoction they came up with as a sauce. Listen if you're in downtown Decatur... Do yourself a favor and get here! There is street parking available and you can pay by app or at the meter. It's about $2 for an hour. They also serve salads, other sandwiches, and breakfast. Small collection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

Now for the rest of the review: The menu is fine, but dinner menu is served on a loose paper, as are the drink menu but it's on a clipboard with multiple pages. I opted for a hamburger with waffle fries. I ordered Med-well, but received Med-rare. The bottom bun was disintegrating as it was saturated in grease. The waffle fries are solid and two people ordered the Irish Nachos to-go while I was there so they may be the star. My fries were served with a mayo-hot sauce mixture that was just okay. I really wished my experience was better because there is so much here I normally would like: local, neighborhood dive, music, tv. But this was a one-and-done for me. Also, the bar height is awkward when seated. I'm 6'0 and felt like a kid sitting at a bar where I have to raise my elbows.
