    Korean BBQ Fries (bottom), Old Bay 5 Wings (middle), Chicken Tenders tossed in Atlanta Wet Lemon sauce (top)
    Tina C.

    Got some of their wings, chicken tenders, and loaded fries for delivery and were overall happy with the quality and quantity of food! Everything was as expected but a touch on the saltier side. Appreciate the creativity of this place in their fusion dishes and their wide selection of sauces.

    Micah S.

    The food was fresh and served hot. The tenders were perfectly cooked -- not overdone -- and well seasoned. The fries were crispy and full of flavor. The service was excellent and knowledgeable, and the restaurant was clean and well organized.

    Korean bbq cheese steak  loaded fries
    Sheneil B.

    Love their fries- plain or loaded I'm never disappointed. This Korean BBQ cheese steak was soo good, full of flavor. Got it delivered, so a bit soggy but I can't wait to order this again and pick up.

    Nice indoor space to wait for your order.
    Patrise S.

    The food was so tasty! Fries are separate from the entree unless you order from the fries section. My bulgogi fries were excellent! There was a wait and the staff was helpful. There are no public bathrooms at this location yet there are many businesses nearby. E we chose to park at the supermarket because the parking area was congested.

    I always love these fries but it needs more sauce. Everyone I order it, I have to pay $1 for additional sauce.

    I tried these fries at the O's game. I wanted to love them but I didn't. They were quite salty and the portion size / cost ratio wasn't adequate. Maybe I'll try the the actual location to see if they're better but I could have made these at home.

    Delicious!!! The food and service were chef kiss. My catfish poboy and fries were seasoned well and delicious. It was very busy for a Thursday and I enjoyed every bit of my meal.

    Gochujang Tofu Banh Mi, cajun fries
    Sarah S.

    this is mostly a takeout spot, with a few seats inside and some picnic tables outside. ordering is through a kiosk if you're like me and hate talking to people. i always order the banh mi with gochujang tofu and cajun fries. the sandwiches are reasonable priced and they are generous with the pickled vegetables, making this my favorite banh mi around. the cajun fries are well seasoned so every fry has a bit of the seasoning. it's very nice to walk to the rotunda and reward yourself with a sandwich. the food holds up well in delivery too. this is my go-to when i don't feel like cooking.

    Best wings and fries I've ever had. The dry rub and crispiness is amazing but besides that them fries stole the show I've never had fries so flavorful like that before .

    Please see attachments stating that the refund policy needs to be posted I visited the Rotunda Local Fry location. I ordered the local fries with the crab dip, no scallions, crispy fries and cheddar cheese. My order was just about $19. Within 6 minutes of receiving my order I notice the fries were not crispy to me but limp, (Not the fries with the crab dip on them) I'm talking about the fries that didn't have dip on them were limp. I asked for crispy fries. I asked for them to be made over and serve the dip separately in a box possibly. I was told by Corey Hawkins that he could not make them over or offer a refund unless the store personnel made a mistake, also no refund is not stated on the receipt nor is it posted in the store. He stated he is not allowed to do anything basically to satisfy the customer, no other manager was there for me to speak to. This to me is not fair to the customer because I was totally unsatisfied and wanted a remake (separately) or a refund. This is very upsetting that the customers are treated this way, his hands was tied and im left unhappy with $20 fries. This was like a 10 minute ordeal because I was trying to get my money back and had i known that you dont give refunds I would have never placed an order there at all, this needs to be made known to the consumer. This situation puts the manager and the customer in a very awkward position and something needs to be done for customers that are unhappy with their orders, or you will loose alot of customers once they go through something like this and especially because its not posted that you don't give refunds. Regretful, Upset, disappointed and dissatisfied Customer

    Vietnamese Pulled Pork Banh Mi $10
    Mitasha P.

    The Local Fry is located in a small shopping center, with plenty of parking. I made a to-go order on the Toast Takeout app, which was really simple and fast. They also have a self-order kiosk inside as well. Inside there is very limited seating, but from what it looks like most people order take out from here. I had the Korean Bowl with crispy chicken ($14). While I did enjoyed the components of the bowl (rice, egg, pickled onions, cucumber, and nori), the crispy chicken I received was dry and hard. The texture felt like old chicken - very stringy, dry, and not crispy. I also got the boneless gochujang wings ($12). Instead of blue cheese, they gave me ranch unfortunately. The wings tasted good. They have a number of other flavor to choose from as well. The Vietnamese Pulled Pork Banh Mi ($10) was a bit smaller than I expected. Everything was good about the Banh Mi from the bread to the condiments - my only complaint was the pulled pork, although moist, was flavorless and bland. The Hawaiian Poutine ($12) had BBQ Pork and a nice hint of sweetness from the pineapple salsa. I would come back to try some of their other dishes.

    my sister and i went, and it was a pretty good experience! the workers were kind, the food was good and the ambiance was chill.

    I've ordered Uber Eats from here multiple times...MULTIPLE TIMES YALL. Chicken wings. OMPH 10/10 poutine, loaded fries ( Hawaiian and another one) IT WAS SOO GOOD YALL. I want to go in person when I have time, but give it a try on Uber eats or in person. It's my go-to wings and fries place now!

According to their menu, "We are proudly building a worker-cooperative serving story-worthy food from around the world." There were certainly dishes from around the world, and the menu is very flexible for a variety of diners (dishes are marked as vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free). My friend and I shared the crispy cauliflower and tahini, which was well-fried and delicious. I also appreciated their drink offerings. My friend and I had and enjoyed a couple of glasses of Lebanese Sauvignon Blanc (from Mersel Wine). I had the Farmers Market Za'atar Salad (cucumber, shaved beet, fennel, pomegranate, pickled jalapeno, mint, fried pita, baby greens, and za'atar yogurt dressing), to which I added falafel. Unfortunately, I found the salad to be quite dry (not dressed enough and then the falafel and the pita crisps just compounded that) and served in a dish that made it quite hard to eat without spilling half the salad on the table. The service was friendly but perhaps not very attentive. I got up to ask our server for the check after waiting for a bit of time for her to make her way to us. I wasn't wowed by the food, but I love Mera's concept and their space. I'd be happy to give it another chance to wow me. I'd also be happy to return for mezze/small plates and wine.

Though there are no windows and the walls are lined with tables. We were making jokes the entire time about the beautiful scenery. (A fake window across the wall).. the giant encased heart decoration was...Interesting..? It was lunchtime. We were kind of expecting a small crowd, but we were the only people in the entire restaurant. There is no fountain drinks, only canned soda. There's no waitress. You take your order on the kiosk and then pay and sit and wait. There's no utensils given. Everything is self served We actually came for burgers, but the seafood boil caught my eye because two meat options were only around $40 .really kind of seemed like a good deal. The cheeseburger was a little bit underwhelming. boyfriend didn't even want to eat it because it "wasn't worth the calories." The chicken sandwich on the other hand got devoured. My crab boil. Devoured. We also got some fries and mozzarella sticks. I definitely rate this place a solid 7.3/10 All of the food aside from the burger was actually amazing and I would definitely go for the seafood boil alone. that lady in the kitchen knows what she's doing back there. The mozzarella sticks were really good highly recommend. For the crab boil, the crab clusters i received were big and juicy full of meat! Even without getting sides, you still get corn and potatoes. I got broccoli with mine and it was really delicious. I didn't realize that you had to pay extra to get the metal utensils to crack them open. I used the plastic fork provided at the utensil counter and my hands and I was able to get the meat out perfectly fine with very minimal struggle. Ask for the service it was OK. not very friendly. The girl at the front desk was on her phone on FaceTime the entire time that we were there and kind of seemed annoyed like we were bothering her whenever we asked questions or want drinks, dessert, etc..She was even like spraying the table and cleaning the counters with one hand holding the other hand up on FaceTime. My recommendation for this place would definitely be and a fountain drink machine possibly have a hostess seat guests ,Bring a roll of utinsils and do refills. I feel like that's really big for people if you're going inside to enjoy a meal to sit down. Also maybe smile or sum idk

    This was our first time at Café 1908 and definitely won't be the last…read more We walked in not really knowing what we wanted, but the woman at the register was super polite and patient while we figured it out. I really appreciated her vibe, and I noticed that when food is ready, she actually comes out from behind the counter to hand-deliver it to customers. That kind of small gesture goes a long way. The place is mostly carry-out, but there are a few bar-style seats if you want to eat there. The menu isn't your typical fast food lineup either, they've got some creative, non-traditional options that definitely stand out. We tried the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak, Fried Chicken Sandwich, 1908 Chicken Cheesesteak, and Fish Tacos, and they were all delicious. Seriously, everything was seasoned well and packed with flavor, with the exception of our fries, which isn't the end of the world. The jerk cheesesteak had a nice kick without being too spicy, and the fried chicken sandwich had the perfect crunch. For drinks, we had the Strawberry Lemonade and the Peach Half & Half, both were refreshing and hit that perfect sweet spot without being too sugary. Overall, Café 1908 has a cool vibe, great food, and friendly service. It's one of those hidden gems you're glad you stumbled across.
