    Pastrami Banh Mi

    Excellent pastrami (we ordered the seasonal banh mi) and a nice fluffy cinnamon roll. The smoked salmon was thin and not much different from the grocery store. The bagel with it was just okay, which was not worth the price. The atmosphere is cute, but we were pretty rushed on service. Sit down to check in under 40 minutes. That said, definitely worth it to get a sandwich.

    Came here for Valentine's Day dinner with a pal! I can say that it was a really great choice for a special occasion dinner: the ambiance, music, lighting, and overall vibe were fantastic. Because we were there for Valentines, they offered a special menu, which was a fun mix-up to have the option for (in addition to some of their usual classic menu favorites)! The special menu felt super thoughtfully planned, but in the end, I did not feel like OVERJOYED that we picked this spot for this price. Our total was basically $100pp when it was all said and done, and while it was a treat to get a four course meal, I felt like $100pp elsewhere could have gone a lot farther AND gotten me more of what I like! The food was tasty. Service was kind.

    General Muir is traditional Jewish food done right, and it is absolutely one of my favorite dining spots in Atlanta! The staff/servers are friendly and helpful. I've not had one negative experience here and the food- delish! Servings are generous, bagels and pastries are made in house, and the pastrami goes through quite a process of a10 day brine, 6 hour slow cook and 6 hour steam. Highlights on our meals the last two days: *General Muir- 2 eggs cooked your way, crispy pastrami, Latkes - loved my General Muir breakfast with perfectly cooked poached eggs. *Avenue A is a party in your mouth! Do yourself a favor and request an everything bagel rather than regular. This yummy party begins with my requested everything bagel, Lox, cream cheese, and crowned with diced cucumber and purple onion, fresh dill, avocado, and grapefruit. Delicious!! *Latkes are homemade yumminess and served with the traditional condiments of sour cream and applesauce. *My seasonal sweet potato latte was Autumn in a cup - warm, comforting and the perfect autumn spice blend! I can't wait to return!

    Jewish deli-style spots are few and far between where I live in central FL so this place was a genuinely pleasant surprise. We stopped in for brunch and really enjoyed our meal. I ordered the nova on an everything bagel, and the lox was fresh, buttery, and exactly what I was hoping for. I also tried the matzoh ball soup which had a flavorful broth and a matzoh ball with the perfect texture, not too dense and not too soft IYKYK... My husband had the pastrami and said it tasted authentic and lean. On our way out, we grabbed a fresh challah for $6. The only miss for us was the black and white cookie, which you can probably skip. The restaurant itself is large, clean, and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, a great spot when you're craving classic Jewish deli comfort food.

    I am sad... The menu changed... The latkes changed The chopped liver was just ok But I did have the pastrami sandwich which was great They still carry Dr Browns cream soda which is a win in my book. My wife's salted bagel and cream cheese wasn't anything to write home about. The service is still top notch The ambiance is still great But I'm not impressed with what we ordered. Won't be back until I hear different from my buds...

    French toast

    We've been to this location several times and always enjoy it. The service is always great, and the food is consistently well-prepared and delicious. There can be a bit of a wait--especially on weekends--so plan accordingly. If you park in the deck across from the restaurant, they will validate your parking when you pay for your meal. Just a heads up: it can get loud inside, particularly when it's a full house. That said, we've always had fast, friendly service. We love The General Muir so much that we frequently place to-go orders. If you're going for brunch, I highly recommend the French toast. The portion is generous (I couldn't finish it!), and the bread is dense, warm, and soaked in syrup--definitely worth trying. I've had the Chicken Club a few times and have to say, it's the best chicken salad I've ever had. But what we've ordered the most is the pastrami sandwich--it's perfection! It's large enough to satisfy, but my husband often gets the "piled high" version with double the meat. I've only had pastrami here, so I can't compare it to others--but my husband says of all the ones he's tried, this is hands down the best. It's the only thing he orders here.

    Lox bagel

    Been to the general Muir a couple of times and I think it's a bit overrated. The service is really good, but I think the food is just ok! The last time I went, I had the lox bagel. I usually like smoked salmon on a bagel, but I wasn't the biggest fan of theirs. The cinnamon roll was just ok too, but not my favorite. Might still come back for brunch, but not sure if this will be a preferred spot

    Came for their breakfast, so glad we made it right on time before their breakfast ended. We got smoked hash and the general. The general was soo good! We enjoyed the pastrami and the latkes. I did not really love the apple sauce as it was a little too sweet. And I wish it paired better. The smoked hash was very good! I definitely enjoyed the different vegetables in this dish. The pastrami was perfectly salty and crispy. I thought the orange juice was okay. It kinda just tasted like carton oj, definitely expect better oj at a breakfast spot. Overall, the food was pretty good and I'd come back to try lunch next time.

    Half a Ruben sandwich and Butternut squash soup.

    The service here was stellar. The waiter was nice, helpful, and patient, and they even offered to get me a chair for my backpack. I got the pastrami sandwich, which comes with a pickle and a side. I chose coleslaw and it was great, not sweet and very crisp. The rye bread was incredibly fresh, on par with Second Avenue Deli and Katz's in NYC. The pastrami was good, not Katz's level but very good and fresh. We also shared the poutine, which was pretty good. My friend got the butternut squash soup and half a Reuben sandwich, which she liked. The decor is nice, and despite the place being full it was not too loud. My friend and I felt like we had plenty of space. Parking tip, the meter maid is very active. My friend got a ticket for overstaying her time, and I watched someone else get a ticket too. Either park in the garage and get your ticket validated or be very careful with on-street parking.

    One of our most enjoyable dinners in a long time. The great reviews on their pastrami sandwiches inspired us to drive into town from Lawrenceville and I'm so happy we did. We were expecting a more casual deli type eatery but instead found a clean, modern, crisp room, tasteful, with candles on the tables which I assume was their dinner setup. (and they take reservations in the evening) Our waiter, Jackson, couldn't have been better. He was so personable and helpful and the service was better than many high end restaurants I've been to. The wait staff seem to be efficient yet invisible, showing up with perfect timing to see if you needed anything and then slipping away, you never felt crowded. Several other servers said hello as they passed by and the atmosphere was just very friendly and welcoming. Our pastrami Reuben was excellent, tender meat and gooey melted Swiss with sauerkraut on grilled rye. My fries were plentiful, but better yet, hot and crisp, just perfect. My husbands potato salad was so good (the fresh dill was a nice addition) we took an extra container home with us to keep us from fighting over the leftovers. All in all, I can't say enough about what a nice evening we had, we'll be back for sure, maybe for lunch when we're in the area, which is often. Thank you for a nice example of customer attentiveness with great food.

    This place was so good! We had been wanting to try it for a while and finally came. The food was really good and it came out super fast. The service was great the staff were all super kind. They also have parking available in a garage across the street. I would definitely recommend

    Go here. Eat the food. It's fantastic. I have been frequenting TGM for years and it does not fail to disappoint. I love everything I've had - delicious burger, great bagels, and chicken salad is incredible. Get the crispy pastrami! Service is always great, staff is friendly, professional and knows the menu. Ambiance - it's a deli. Not romantic, a bit loud at times.

    Piled High Pastrami ($28)
    Ashley K.

    The General Muir is a win all-around. It was a pleasure dining here. FOOD: Piled High Pastrami ($28) - The pastrami absolutely melts in your mouth. It was tender, perfectly smoky, and pairs well with the mustard. I got fries as my side and it was piled high as much as the pastrami. I also got to try the matzoh ball soup ($10) which had a light but rich soup and the Avenue A Bagel ($18) which was sophisticated and a hint of pop with the grapefruit. SERVICE: Our server was amazing! She was super energetic and helped accommodate any questions/requests we had. VIBE: I loveee the interior of the restaurant. You feel like you're in a deli in New York as soon as you step in. The pictures of the co-owner's ancestors around the restaurant is a great tribute to the history and culture of what the General Muir represents. I can't wait to go back and try the brunch menu! Highly recommend anyone to try this place out!

    Name one that has better specials EVERY DAY!... I'm NOT waiting that long…read more.. This new spot is cute on the inside, hookahs blazing and drinks pouring... I came here for the first time on memorial day and they had the grill going... Free bbq... "Because our axxses don't bbq anymore..." Thier words NOT mine lol... I agreed and showed up lol... Free bbq... free hookah (until 6pm) and happy hour drinks all day... I have seen their other specials... BUT hookah for taxes+tip... vs $50 everywhere else... BLOOD OF JESUS! Talmbou INNIIIT... I sat at the bar... I find you get the best service face to face and have more understanding when watching someone work as to their level of busy... So I was taken care of. Chris, the bartender looked out. I waited until 5:50 to order bbq and everything was gone... LOl BUT CHRIS popped out w the GLIZZY at 6:06! lol Thanks Chris. 4 out of 5 just because I don't think you all knew how much rizz was coming behind that hookah special because it was taking foreverrrr. I'll be back though... Make it up to me lol

    Stopped by for the chargrilled oysters on Thursday and a couple of drinks…read more The spot is small but everyone was very helpful and checked on us several times. Oysters were good however we only could order 2 dozen total because they had to save for other customers. The drinks were okay however the bartender did remake it when I said, it tasted like juice. Also, the menu price of drinks was $16 but our check said $18..hmm! Overall it was a cool and we might go back.

    One word- OUTSTANDING!!! This is the old Wendy's just down…read morefrom Northlake Mall, on Lavista Road. It is YELLOW- and yes, you can almost miss it if you are going too fast. A decent size parking lot, a round-robin of customers & I spoke to a few who are repeats- they love it! The restaurant is clean & organized- booths & tables. Charging stations (plugs) available as well. Walk up counter, place order, wait for your number to be called. Do not be in a rush- made-to-order!! Worth the wait!!! If you are not starving- split a meal with a friend- portions are huge & truly DELICIOUS!!! Ask for sauces, if you want. They have tartare, cocktail & homemade hot sauces. Fresh lemons too. Pepsi products, sweet/unsweetened tea... NO ALCOHOL! Outstanding employees! All so nice! Big menu- ask for one if needed, they have scrolling screens & it is hard to figure out. Menu is best to figure out what you want. Literally EVERYTHING was SO fresh & delicious!!! Mom thought salty, so maybe ask for light/no salt if this is a dietary restriction. They have fresh & fried options. Here are pics of our meals. All left with to-go's. Note, meals are served in to-go containers, not actual plates. The music is fun but WAY WAY WAY too loud. Heads up. I'd truly go back if in town. What an unexpected treat for dad's birthday. He was HAPPY!

    Always the best decision of our day when we go. Just so amazing…read more We usually get baked fish and a small order of friend. Try the broccoli too! Grits a bomb. Like the beignets as well. We never go wrong here

    Attended a work dinner here this evening and it was wonderful! Service was fantastic especially…read moresince we kept talking and not being ready for anything when they'd come over! They made recommendations on food choices and humored us when we all decided to get something different to share asking for extra plates. I ordered the pot pie and a side house salad and practically licked my plate and bowl they were so freaking good! Sadly I didn't get any pictures because I was trying to be respectful of the company I was in but the dishes were all picture perfect! Love that they have a parking lot with plenty of space and a great dining room that was easy to accommodate several large parties! Looking forward to my next visit when I move to the area soon!

    You have to make your way over to the Oak Grove neighborhood to try this local gem, Sprig!!!…read more Everything from the menu to the service is so thoughtfully done and curated! They have an incredible Gluten Free selection, which is not why we went, but I noted that if you were GF, this would be your heaven-on-earth. As you may notice, the menu is on the pricier side compared to other joints in the neighborhood. I'm here to tell you, it's WORTH it! I had an absolutely delicious Pot Roast. Everyone in my group of 5 got something different but loved it just to same. Fun fact: there's a hidden speakeasy inside the restaurant you should try out before/ after/ in lieu of dinner in the main restaurant. This place is EXCELLENT! Can't wait to return now.
