    chicken wings and fries in a styrofoam container
    Wendy B.

    For quick a stop shop for lunch, this is the perfect spot! Servers are beyond friendly and helpful. The place is fairly clean, with a cute instagram art worthy corner. As for food, wings are truly exquisite, tons of variety for sauces, and the fries were amazing - super crunchy! Also, portions are huge, definitely worth the price. My next trip to Atlanta, I'll be sure to stop by again.

    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.

    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.

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 reason I mentioned the waiting period is because I only had about 30mins before I had to return to work. The guy who worked there was super nice though.

From the moment we walked in, the vibe was relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious--exactly what you want when you're looking to settle in and enjoy yourself. A huge part of that experience was our waitress, Carsen. She was incredibly personable, warm, and genuinely friendly without ever feeling forced. Her service was excellent from start to finish--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed. She made us feel completely at home, like we were being hosted by a friend rather than waited on at a restaurant. Honestly, her energy was contagious. We ended up ordering a third round of drinks purely because she was so darn friendly and fun to talk with. The Universal Joint nails that balance of great service and laid-back comfort, which is harder to find than it should be. Between the welcoming atmosphere and Carsen's standout service, it's easy to say this won't be our last visit. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully sitting in her section again.

One bite in, and I noticed a bug in the toppings, immediately I was disgusted, wondering if I had already consumed one..... it happens so I took pics and called the restaurant. Sent the manager pics and he took accountability and text me back offering me a refund and a $40 credit for my next visit . Fast fwd.... 2 weeks we were in the area and decided let's give it another try and cash in our credit and have drinks as well. Our experience that I shared with the manager I was initially in contact with is below. I'm posting because of the lack of acknowledgement and the bar tender was extremely nasty for absolutely no reason. Hi Sawyer, I wanted to let you know about our experience today. We stopped by the restaurant to use the gift card and enjoy a few drinks, but unfortunately things went wrong right away. When we walked in, no one greeted us or acknowledged us--we genuinely couldn't tell who worked there. We eventually sat ourselves, and when Jen came over, I let her know we were there to use a gift card you had left. From that point on, her demeanor noticeably changed. She was short, dismissive, and her body language made it clear we were an inconvenience. I provided both my name and my husband's name to help locate the gift card, but her response--or lack of one--made us feel unwelcome, and we decided it was best to leave. I appreciate you offering the opportunity for a good experience at UJ. The previous to-go order didn't impact my overall impression, but today's interaction with Jen unfortunately did. No need to worry about the gift card.

Now for the rest of the review: The menu is fine, but dinner specials are served on 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 like: local, neighborhood dive, music, tv. But this was a one-and-done for me. Also, the bar height is awkward. I'm 6'0 and felt like a kid sitting at a bar where I have to raise my elbows.
