Caesar salad with chicken and a side of Parmesan fries

The food here is so good!! It's basically elevated bar food, perfect for a casual dinner. I've gone here twice (once with my parents for lunch and once with some friends before a night out) and loved both visits. The GM is super friendly and came to our table both times to check and see how our experience was. All of the waitstaff is friendly and everything came out pretty quick. They also do a couple of community events throughout the week (trivia night, karaoke, etc.) that I want to eventually try next. P.S. Don't sleep on the Caesar salad!

Grouper Tacos

Stumbled upon this place while in the area and sure glad I did. It's a lowkey spot with and nice ambiance. Typical tavern food, nothing fancy but good. Service was good. We happen to come around happy hour and ordered the wings, bang bang shrimp and spring rolls to start! They came out quickly and were very tasty. For entrees, we had the pork chop meal and the grouper tacos. The tacos were very good and the group was perfectly seasoned. The pork chop was tasty. Our daughter enjoyed the kids burger. For dessert we had the cheesecake empanada which we enjoyed. Very good and was served with a scoop of ice cream. Would definitely come back again!

New pub/American fare in Druid hills. Had fish tacos, burgers, and fries. Food was fine. Service was attentive. They have brunch with mimosa flights and other activities like wine days and trivia Thursday. Booths, tables, and bar seating available. Easy parking in the lot of the complex.

Came here for lunch soon after grand opening. We were one of two tables in the whole place. Service and food was good. I really hope this place thrives as a local community restaurant.

Mahi Mahi with mashed potatoes & grilled green beans
Meshia W.

The food was amazing. I knew it was going to be great when I tasted the mussels. OMG were they delicious. I had the Mahi Mahi which was also greatly paired with the mash potatoes and grilled green beans. My friend had the NY strip which was explained to me as eye rolling. Cute tavern with a great ambiance perfect for a date night. Our server was very attentive and had a great personality. Will definitely return to try the other dishes on the menu.

I can't believe it took me this long to eat here since I've driven by so many times. The parking…read morelot is always full and was so on this occasion on a Sunday evening. We waited only a few minutes and was able to navigate the small lot to get a spot. There is a designated window for pre-orders and walk-ups have a separate line. It wasn't that long when we were there, but was out the door when we left. Ordering was easy as we got a chance to preview the paper menu, and we were given a card to place on our table once we found it. There was plenty of seating options despite the full lot, but it was nice out so a lot of people were out on the patio with views of the busy intersection. The decor was modern and airy. We checked out the salsa bar while we waited for our appetizer and I found the jalapeno roasted garlic, which was spicy and amazing!! Our appetizer was the con queso and I added chorizo, which I highly recommend. It was plenty for our party of 4 and they'll give you more chips if you need them for the amount of dip you get, just ask. I got one each of the steak, chicken, and carnitas tacos on corn tortillas. The steak was my favorite and I loved that you could taste the smoke in each of the meats with each bite. The grapefruit marg was strong! We were in and out in well under an hour.

I moved away from Atlanta 3 years ago and I still think about little Rey weekly if not every other…read moreday. Truly miss it so much. The queso, the el Diablo taco, the wings, the SOUP. You cannot find anything like it in the Boston area. I'm truly sad about it, like it affects my mood. I really miss it. The frozen marg also like omfg. If anyone from the LR team sees this my husband and I are very legitimately wanting to partner on opening a sister restaurant in Boston. It's the only way I can think to fill this gap. I MISS YOU LITTLE REYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Also ps one time there was a person who seemed potentially homeless who came into the restaurant and was lingering around a bit while we were there. Rather than kicking him out the manager came over, took his order and gave him a free dinner. Quietly, without causing a fuss. In the world we live in today the kindness is refreshing. Love to see it.

Halal tacos in a small store in a gas station - how can you get more authentic than that?…read more The meats served here are all halal, which is great! I got the beef Birria, steak Birria, and barbacoa tacos. The consommé itself was a little watery and tomato-y, but the tacos themselves were of decent quality and flavor. The beef Birria was better IMO than the steak, which was a little chewier. The barbacoa was definitely hands down my favorite - out of them it was the most flavorful and tender. The salsas they gave on the side were good too - spicy, tangy. The seating in the store is very limited (only a few tables, not well spaced out), large groups would be hard to accommodate.

I think I saved this spot due to some friends recommending it. Pretty decent food for a gas station…read morespot. The hubs choose x3 shrimp birria tacos while I had the beef birria quesadilla. I believe the meats here are halal. The crust of both the taco and quesadilla were crispy and had a nice cheese crunch. But trying other birria spots, these were okay. Good but nothing that would wow. The consome dip was actually pretty watered down. I know places make them differently as I've had versions with meat bits in them and another with rice. But their version was just watered down. The shrimp ratio was pretty sad. The beef is actually more bang for your buck. Though I didn't truly count the shrimps, there were about 3 or 4 of those baby shrimps. They didn't look nor tasted like they were doused in flavor. The shrimp was just so so. Sort of bland in taste imo. The beef had a nice kick of flavor. There was a good amount of beef to my surprise. Another friend's beef taco version looked like it was stuffed with meat as well. There was just ample seasoning and flavor with the beef. Psst. If you're thinking x3 tacos vs x1 whole quesadilla, go with the quesadilla. You're sort of getting another piece since the quesadilla is cut into four quadrants versus just 3 tacos. Though it's a different form on presentation, you're going to be getting more for the same exact price.
