The ambient vibe, the warm, southern hospitality, and the overall food was spectacular! The grits were delicious and creamy. The catfish was very fresh, not gamey and the eggs were flavorful and very fluffy, not overcooked. Now, the fried green tomatoes were to die for. It was my first time having them so I thoroughly enjoyed them. Our servers mom is the Mayor of Fairburn. What a pleasure it was to have met him. This is a great place to have great food. read more

Spend your money elsewhere in the area because this establishment is not it! read more

The Dining Experience - Salmon Croquette breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fairburn, Georgia

We were greeted and seated fairly quickly. The pineapple mimosa was only $5. 2 out of 3 people thought it was the good. The food was reasonable priced. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and delicious. The breading was light and seasoned well. Everyone thought the food was filling and worth the price. The breakfast potatoes were not a fave but everything else was good. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The vibe is casual, cozy. There are cute booths, a high table, and regular tables. The menu includes breakfast/brunch and lunch/dinner entrees. There are also cocktails and non alcoholic drinks in the menu read more

The Experience Pasta was horrible not worth $29. I was beat out of my money. I am so disappointed and will never go back. The fried tomatoes were beyond bland with no garnish or appealing. They didn't have collard greens or Mac and cheese. I hate I wasted $100 at this establishment. Keith Lee exaggerated in my opinion. I had to pay extra for extra sauces that were half filled.

1st time visiting was for Sunday brunch. They have a nice size dining area but nothing fancy in terms of decor; however, they offer on-site parking which is a plus! Upon entering we were seated immediately (around 10:30 am) and our server came shortly thereafter. There are no brunch specials or bottomless mimosas but the food was decent and the service was great! I give The Dining Experience a solid 3.5 stars! I would definitely give them another try! read more

Our server was great! I believe her name was Terry. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe. The food tasted good with the exception of 2 items that weren't my personal favorite. The salmon had a bit of a fishy taste rather than a fresh taste. The grits had a broth like base rather than a creamy one (personally I prefer creamy). The waffles were nice and soft. The fried green tomatoes were amazing. Crispy and flavorful. I would go back to try other items on the menu. read more

The food, service, atmosphere was INCREDIBLE. And that does not even touch on how good the food was! I got the shrimp and grits; grilled shrimp. Was the right amount of EVERYTHING. The grits were creamy, shrimp beyond flavorful. The sauce they add on top of the grits was SO GOOD. The hubby got a catfish platter; he was having a hard time choosing between the catfish and fried chicken. With the waitresses recommendation he opted for the catfish. Let me just say she was right about it being the best. I've never tasted or had catfish so crisp, delicious, and moist! It's clearly a big hit since others had ordered it. I was surprised how empty it was, but they did say the weekend was packed. If you're in the area, or just visiting DO NOT PASS THIS. read more

Came on a Sunday around 10 am , didn't need a reservation and was promptly seated. This place is a lot bigger than what it used appears to be on the outside. Great music , clean and cute decor. I didn't get a drink but friend got a mimosa she liked it they have different kinds like one with cotton candy. I got the chicken and waffle and friend got shrimp and grits. I liked it ! The shrimp and grits were good ! My waffle was blueberry ! It was soft and fluffy service was prompt and friendly . Only thing they were out of Mac and cheese bummer !

Been here 1.5 times. First time was for brunch, I had the salmon platter for $20. Now for that amount you'd think you'd get a decent size piece of salmon, but it was a slither. A well seasoned piece, but a slither nonetheless. I had a side of breakfast potatoes & eggs. My bew had the fried catfish & grits and his mom had the shrimp & grits. The Cajun sauce was lightly drizzled on top & the grits were basic. Came here a 2nd time and there were some complications with the seating situation, so we left. Beforehand, we had the salty fried green tomatoes & stale salmon egg rolls that was supposed to come with sweet chili sauce. However, we all agreed that it was definitely BBQ sauce. Lol For the price, the food wasn't worth it. The ambience was ok, but seating is tight. Givin them a three, because the servers were decent. The last server was just doin as she was told re: seating. read more

Just a little disappointed I went today and even had a reservation for 12 o'clock and when I went, the location was closed door was locked and look like no activity.

I've been going to The Dining Experience for over a year now. Every time I've visited I'm always warmly welcome. Kyesha the owner is so warm and welcoming. The service is wonderful and the food it great. Also is not a noisy location and we always take pictures at the photo area. I highly recommend this brunch spot and I'm looking forward to my next visit later this week! read more

If you open at 9 am, be prepared to take orders. I was told they were working on a catering order... I called from 9:30 -to 9:45. NO apologies. The young lady face was it is what it is.. (we don't need your business) I will grant her wishes. Also, they charge a to-go fee, I will have american express reverse that for me.. I try so hard to support.. Another business... read more

My wife heard about this place at work. So we decided to go for brunch. But first I would like to give a "job well done" to the bartender "Morgan". She gave us great customer service and went above her duty to make sure we had a good first-time experience. Thank you, Morgan. Well, the place is nice but a little loud, but it's not a buzz killer. The food was okay, but there was nothing to write home about. We both had the grilled salmon, but I had my eggs over easy ( they got right), but my wife asked for soft scrabble eggs with cheese, and she got hard cold scrabble eggs with cheese. But, thanks to great customer service by Morgan, she took care of everything and got my wife what she ordered. We had the shrimp devil eggs ( not a fan) , they were sweet and had too much sweet relish for me, and who put sugar on devil eggs? Stop it! The mimosas were great. But the cotton candy was a little too sweet but doable. The only other thing is the wait time. Just manage it a little better. But, I will give them another visit one day. read more

This place is cool for breakfast. Our waiter was pretty good. I can't think of his name. Really good service. We had the fried green tomatoes, salmon croquettes, grits, and omelettes. It was pretty decent. Nothing spectacular and I visit again if in the area. The music they played was nice blend of R&B. We initially had the frozen strawberry mimosas but we really didn't care for them so they brought us out the cotton candy mimosas which was really good. read more

This is the 3rd time I've ordered (through GrubHub) and they were out of items. I don't understand how you're out of macaroni and cheese every single time someone orders. Every ingredient for mac and cheese is literally in a local grocery store. No excuse. They clearly can't keep up with demand. Chicken wings are just ok. No call or anything to say, hey you ordered something that we're out of. Would you like something else? Nope, they just send your order out with whatever they have. Poor service! And by the way, if you're out of things, be honest with customers upfront and put a note on your menu so people aren't ordering things that you know you don't have. read more

Today my Church Family and I had the best experience here. We did have a short wait due to the restaurant being crowed and us having a large group. However, once we were seated the service and food was amazing. The host was so nice and accommodating to our choir. Our server was very friendly, attentive and kind. Our food came out in a decent amount of time and everyone was well pleased with their order. I purchased the Shrimp and grits. And it was well seasoned and delicious. Also purchased two wings on the side and it was some of the best seasoned chicken around (hot and fresh). I can't say enough out how nice and friendly the entire staff was. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will come back again. read more

Service is very slow. The food has a basic taste. I ordered the waffle platter with chicken sausage, cheese and eggs, with potatoes. Parsley of course was on everything. It's so unnecessary trying to jazz up a plate. I couldn't taste any cheese in the eggs. For the 30 min drive it was not worth it for me. Try it for yourself. It was just a break from a home project and I was underwhelmed. read more

The staff there were very friendly. I ordered the salmon and grits which was tasty. My friend thought that the chicken and waffle was ok. He was a little taken back when the waitress placed a lemon in his water with her fingers. I ordered coffee and there sweet m low was the only sweetener. I went with the sugar and the coffee was strong. I was happy to see the 100% score on the wall. I think they have some opportunities at this restaurant but seem to be open to feedback. Equal or Splenda. read more

I really enjoyed coming here. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Very good ambiance and the staff was awesome! I will definitely be back to try a few more items on the menu. read more

We finally checked this place out on Father's Day after being influenced by Keith Lee's video. The space is small but nicely decorated & we were pleasantly greeted by the host when we walked in. After being seated we were waited on by a friendly, professional, & thorough waitress named Tory. My husband & I both had chicken wings with French toast, salmon egg roll appetizers, sides of scrambled eggs with cheese, grits, sweet tea, strawberry lemonade & pineapple upside down mimosa. Let's get the small cons out of the way first: not all of our food arrived as advertised on the menu. The French toast was described as being made with brioche bread when it seemed to be made with just regular bread. The salmon egg rolls were described as being made with "fresh" salmon but were clearly made with smoked salmon which was a shame because my husband doesn't like smoked salmon & so couldn't eat it. I asked for the caramel sauce & bananas for my French toast to be on the side (I wanted to control how much sugariness was on top) but they came with the sauce on top so I had to scrape it off. Outside of these minor inconveniences we enjoyed our food which was seasoned well without being overly salty. The chicken wings had a nice crispy coating rather than heavy breading so that was nice too. We rated the food 8/10, the ambience 8.5/10 and the service 10/10. Strongly recommended! read more

Josh is the top of the line, great customer service and a great server/bartender. The food was great and it was a great experience. I will definitely be back. I had breakfast and it was served fresh. Everything was nice and clean. read more

Decided to check out the dining experience in Fairburn with a friend. Upon arriving, I noticed the familiar building and remembered that I once visited this establishment but in a smaller location, I recall the service and food was pretty good. This time around the restaurant was at the front of the building and in a larger space. As I entered, I noticed the nice decor and bar I was greeted by Joshua, and he asked whether I preferred a particular seat and as I sat down at my choice of seating, there were only a few patrons, but it was close to opening on a Tuesday morning as I waited for my Friend to join me. Joshua was very attentive and pleasant so I ordered some tea as I waited. My friend soon arrived and we ordered. I had the salmon croquettes with cheese, grits, scrambled eggs and a biscuit. I found the food well prepared, hot and tasty. mydining experience went very well and I plan to return for drinks and the lunch/dinner menu. thanks to Joshua our server and the company that I keep. read more

If anyone has seen or read any of my reviews on other establishments I'm someone who tries to be fair and honest! It pains me but not someone who try's to tear down a black owned business but sometimes you just have to hold them to the same standards as any other business. I have been at The Dining Experience four times and out of the four times only had a very good dining experience ONCE! 1st time we attempt to eat their the kitchen had ran out of a good majority of the items on the menu. So we left without eating! 2nd time we attempted to eat their a certain Tic-Tok food taster had given them a good food review. Which cause the restaurant to be overcrowded and the wait was super long. So we left without eating. 3rd time the service was slow but the server was either the own or her daughter. Who came out and explained what was going on. Gave us excellent service brought out a tasting appetizer to hold us over. We ordered their Lobster and grits meal which was excellent! (Since then have removed from their menu and no longer serving.) 4th time was today and when I tell you the service and the food was HORRIBLE! We were seated and waited for over 15- 20 minutes before our drinks order was taken. We could see the service was going to be slow because there was only one young lady working the restaurant of 10 to 14 tables. So to help her out we gave her our drinks and meal request at the same time. So we waited and we waited! 30 minutes later l looking towards the kitchen when she comes out and she noticed that I was looking very upset that we had not gotten any of our food. She turns around and goes back into the kitchen. She then comes out to our table to apologize cause SHE had forgotten to place our order into their hand held system. She wrote it down but forgot to enter it. I asked her now that she noticed her error why didn't she at least attempted to bring us some type of appetizer ie biscuits or grits to hold us over. She tried to explain that everything is freshly made to order. But we are talking at brunch time. You don't have any biscuits or grits ready? After a 5 to 10 minutes exchange she goes and gets us a (1)biscuit and a (1)bowl of grits ( it's my wife and I at the table). She ask if we still would like to order our meal. At this point I'm ready to leave but wife wanted to give them grace at this point. She reads over our order as she places it into the hand held system this time. My wife had ordered their lamb chop meal with a cranberry juice. I had ordered a salmon croquette with double sided grits and breakfast potatoes and a strawberry lemonade. Which she told me would be a dollar extra if I wanted a refill. She then asked if I wanted onions and green peppers in my croquettes. When she asked I thought it was very strange. We finally get our meals! My wife said the lamb chops were just okay. Everything was just flavorless and under seasoned! I ate only one of the dried out over fried croquettes! The cheese in my grits wasn't melted and the breakfast potatoes had no salt or seasoning on them. To add insult to Horror service they attempted to overcharge us never attempting to make it right. Attempted to charge us $45 for the lamb chops. I later found out that they up charge me two dollars for the onions and green peppers! Nickel and Dimming their customers really that's what they are doing! Then she tries to say she didn't know that the menu showed a different cost. I nor my wife or any of my family members who told us about this place will be eating there ever again! I would really like to hear or see what the owner thinks about the service that was given. read more

I went to patronize and was very disappointed the food was not good at all. My mother and I ordered the wing platter which came with grits,eggs,potatoes and a biscuit. The food took really long to come out and when it came out it had a really fowl smell and I knew then something wasn't right. The chicken when I broke it apart the meat was very dark and the grits were watered down and had absolutely no flavor at all. I told the manager our experience and her response was the owner was on the phone and all sales are final. The manager told the owner that I didn't like the food by the way my mother and I taste it and was done. The food looked as if it was barely touched because the smell was so unpleasant. The manager offered 10% because she stated once again all SALES ARE FINAL. The 10% took off about 2 to 3 dollars; i was highly unsatisfied and will never return to that restaurant again. read more
