Our favorite place for 20+ years for family casual gatherings. Food and service always amazing- can watch any sports game needed. Their new spot is too notch! We almost always get wings and salad and some add ons but have never had anything that wasn't delicious over the years of trying other things. read more

Three Dollar Cafe - Medium spice wings and house salad... with ranch. Not the prettiest picture (sorry) but I promise it's delicious! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I had hoped Three Dollar's move to a new location across the street would provide a fresh start, however unfortunately both the food and the service were off. The new building was nice enough - tons of seating, murals, and ATL memorabilia hung on the walls. The service however was rough. We saw our server twice: once to take our order, second to bring us the check. She never checked on us to ask how our apps and entrees came out, nor to refill our waters or ask if we needed anything else. The food was also not great, and unfortunately there was no opportunity for Three Dollar to fix it due to the lack of customer service. read more

The food was great , everything taste and hot I really enjoyed and the price was great for all the food I had. Arielle was a very nice server. read more

I went to the new location and ordered the chicken parm. It was very good, with no watery sauce on the plate. Three of us had good food and good service. Nice improvement! read more

I gave it three tries and really tried to like it. The bartenders are nice, just like they were when the café was across the street at the older location. And I understand that when you lose your lease, you have to relocate. That would be fine, but the owner has drastically changed the character of the place by making it extremely bright inside, even at 11 PM. There are overhead lights that are almost blinding. There is more than sufficient light from all of the TVs and neon beer signs. There's no reason to make people wear sunglasses inside. This change totally alters the character of the place. It is no longer a familiar neighborhood bar, but a bright, extremely well-lit chicken wings place. When I was sitting at the bar one night after 10 PM and chatting with a couple of other guys at the bar, a guy I did not know remarked that it made him feel like he had entered "an interrogation room," and some FBI agent was going to shine a light in his eyes and tell him they knew he was lying. If the owner wants it to be bright inside, that is fine -- up into a point. But I sure would turn off those overhead lights at night when it turns into more of a bar than a restaurant. The owner also seems to want to close early and holds last call at 11:30. I guess he wants a it to be different kind of place. It is. I sure would like someone else to open a dive bar in the area -- because we no longer have one. It would be poetic justice if the greedy landlord who kicked out the three dollar café could not find a new use for the property and had to lease it again to a bar owner who wanted to reprise the old familiar feel of the Three Dollar Café. Call it the Five Dollar Dive. read more

I've only ever eaten delivery and carryout from Three Dollar Cafe, but I've eaten a lot of it, a whole lot. I am a huge fan of their buffalo shrimp and second in line are there wings. I also like their chili and salads. The shrimp are good-sized, well-cooked, and full of flavor. They offer a handful of flavors, wet and dry. I usually order mango-habanero (wet) and Caribbean jerk (dry). The shrimp are lightly breaded and well fried and coated. If anything, for some, they might be a bit greasy, especially the dry rubbed ones. The same goes for the wings which are well-cooked and sometimes just a bit dry. The chili is richly flavored and served with diced onion and cheddar to top it off. The salads are served in good portions with fresh greens and dressing. The toppings and add-ons are traditional. Orders hold up well for delivery or on the way home with a carryout. The place is dive-ish. This is near where I stay when I'm in Atlanta, so I'll probably stop in to eat when the weather is cooler so I can check the vibe. read more

Wings are great. Some of the best I've had. The burger, not so much. Unseasoned frozen burger from a mass food distributor. How hard is it to thaw and sprinkle some salt, pepper, seasoning salt?? Apparently it's VERY hard for this place. read more

3$ cafe moved. Food can still be spotty. They were in Buckhead, now they're in Sandy Springs and charging Buckhead prices. A Liquor drink went from 9$ to 11$ same with beer. You moved across the border. How can you raise that much on prices how? Because you had to move. Places in Buck head are cheaper like FA Do. Pissing people off for no reason. Just greed. Pass smh read more

We were looking forward to trying out their new large location. Normally three dollar cafes are solid. This was not. We were seated by the hostess who clearly couldn't care less that she put us at a dirty patio table. I asked for the one next to it and she said fine but left us to move the menus and silverware. Fine. We then waited for about 15 minutes for no server and left. When I said something g to her she shrugged. I asked for the manager. They also didn't care and when I point to their 84 HEALTH SCORE he said ok bye. Yup. Bye. Can't wait to see what better goes into that location. read more

Best wings in Atlanta. Steak and cheese, chicken and cheese is excellent. Hard working service team. Great patio

The service is absolutely TERRIBLE. The quality of the food has gone down as the prices have gone up. The wait staff is so unresponsive, inattentive- and EVERY single THING takes forever. Plus, the parking is a nightmare. No thanks!! read more

Very good wings and food, had very good taste and flavor. Service was solid, but there were situations where it was taking a while. The overall restaurant is awesome, the inside is completely redone and it is easily a great sports bar. Perfect place to watch any game! read more

The food here is to die for, I love the hot wings. Everything on the menu is delicious and great tasting. I come by after church on Sundays and Jen is the best bartender by far. The staff and management are so friendly and attentive. They have bar, table and open patio available for seating. Trust me when I say you can't go wrong when dinning in or dashing out. There are lots of cafes but there is only one of the best 3 dollar cafe. You have to try it and see how you like it! read more

Food was great but the service need a little work and it wasn't busy when I went.. The restaurant over is has a great vibe and pretty good wings. read more

They just moved to a new location across the street. Interior looks great! Service not so much. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a table - not bad. When we ordered, server said the kitchen was "a little behind". Took 20 minutes to get water. After and hour and 15 minutes, we asked the server to check on the food. She became argumentative and said "I told you that the kitchen was behind". At this point, most tables had emptied. Food came after an hour and 35 minutes. Several orders were wrong but we didn't chance trying to get it fixed. Burgers were cold. Steamed veggies were basically raw. Had to get our own silverware and to go containers. Manager seemed unconcerned. They have a lot of work to do. Host and serving Staff need training on how to talk to customers. read more

Nice and chill local bar. Most people coming are locals. They seem to get alot of wing orders so I look forward to coming back to try more food items. On this visit I only ordered fries extra crispy and they were perfect! read more

I asked to sit at booth and the server said we're not allowed to sit just 1 person at a booth. The 6 booths were empty the whole time I was there. Why discriminate because I am a party of 1? Why not accommodate your guest since you are in a service business? The service was good, food was good. Too bad though you do not have an ability to flex read more

Fast friendly service! Huge gigantic grouper sandwich. There was an over flown bucket of water on the floor to catch the water dripping from the ceiling. The water was all over the floor & this was very dangerous. But besides that good vibes. read more

This place was perfect for a laid back, great service, game day experience. Ask for DIANA. She is super quick to every request , so sweet, and wasn't overbearing. My cheeseburger was really good. I liked the potato chips a lot. (House made) There's lots of TVs so you will for sure be able to get your game on out of all the screens. My boyfriend got the wings. We're from Memphis, and he said these were a 8/10. (We are known for wings) but seriously ask for DIANA. First time we've been here and she's the solidified my decision in coming back and hopefully getting her again read more

All-time spot. Patio is awesome. Food is great. Beer is cold. Service is quick and consistent.

This was a great spot to sit on the patio on a nice day for a quick casual lunch. We tried the medium buffalo wings and hot lemon pepper wings, and both were really tasty. Not huge in size, but they were very crispy and flavorful. It seems like a good spot to watch a game, and the service was friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking behind the restaurant. read more

Food and service were outstanding as usual. Only complaint was the establishment where I ate needs updating.

This was our first time dining at Three Dollar Cafe. The food is pretty good for a diner. Has a sports atmosphere and a great outdoor patio. Kai had the Nachos Mountain that was huge for a half size portion. They should have used Nacho Cheese for the chips though. The cheese they used didn't melt really. Otherwise the meat and toppings were good. Ej Brad had the Cuban Sandwich and it was delicious. The bread was toasted but soft and the meat was marinated well. Loved it! Overall our experience was great and our server was amazing! read more

Hello the food is of excellent quality as is the atmosphere however the service ruins everything, the waitresses demand tips of great value, to the point that the older lady who dyes her hair blonde confronted me and demanded it from me. And the problem is so serious that with almost 40 minutes left for the closing they denied me the service... be careful with that waitress, give her very high tips or she will deny you the service for future occasions. read more

Wings were great, perfectly crispy and the rub had great flavor. Buffalo chicken sandwich also good, big piece of chicken.

I understand that this isn't a classy establishment BUT maybe you should have your employees hanging out somewhere other than the first two tables of the restaurant if there are no tables to wait. When we walked in, an employee was literally laying and napping at the waiting area bench and there was 2 tables of employees just sitting there being loud. Food was great, but make a break area for your employees. read more

I could talk about the food or the service that were average at best. But we dined in- and there was a cockroach crawling on my chair!! We dined indoors. Unacceptable. We showed the server the dead insect and she said sorry about that. The fact that she didn't make a big deal or even tell the manager makes me think this kind of thing happens all the time. Talk about disgusting! My husband wouldn't let me look at the health rating on the way out. But if I had to guess it was very low. read more

Not sure what other people have seen here, but this place rocks. Staff is great and the kitchen is consistent and FAST. The owner is here almost every day working at any job that needs to be done. Hats off glad I live down the street now read more

This establishment is known for their wings and the wings are definitely worth checking out. The rest of the menu is good, as well and prices are competitive. One complaint was that their cheesesteaks had the onions sliced too big and thick, which had an overpowering quality to the meat. When I lived in Philadelphia, I became somewhat of a cheesesteak snob and like it when they fine dice the onions and incorporate that (as well as the cheese) into the steak giving it a more unified and consistent cheesesteak. But I also understand this ain't Philadelphia and not all places do it that way. You might like it this way, I just like how it was done in the City of Brotherly Love. This location is just one location of a business that has spread throughout the Atlanta area. I believe they are up to about ten locations. Not bad for a business to grow to so many locations and an indicator that they are doing something right. The atmosphere is good and the vibe is pretty cool. All in all, this is not a bad place to come grab a drink or a meal (or both). Check them out, I think you will like it. read more

Everything was just OKAY and a bit lackluster given how much people rave about this place. (Maybe I should have ordered the wings ‍ but everything on the menu should be great tasting anyway). I ordered the cheesy fries as a starter for my lady and i, which came out nice and hot and tasted really good a bit more flavor would have been nice. The portion was good for 2 people. I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich as an entree. It was okay, nothing to rave on about. My lady ordered the fried grouper sandwich and thought the same ("it was good, not great"). The service was just okay too. As for the environment, Im not a big fan of the overall location and look of the restaurant. You can tell that it's been there a while and is in serious need of an upgrade. The inside was....lacking. I glad they enforced social distance though so that's something. read more

I have come in here every Tuesday night with my soccer team for the last 3 years and the service is "OK" at best. Today I came in with my service dog for lunch and the owner told us she wasn't allowed and was EXTREMELY rude. She is a 20 pound mini golden and is trained. Keep in mind he has let us in about 15 other times and we always sit on the patio. I asked I I could show her papers and registration but he didn't care and frantically told us to leave. She is a registered service dog, this is illegal and a necessity in my day to day life. read more

I like mine Hot Wet Crispy with blu cheese celery and carrots, hey people I'm talking about chicken wings!!with a margarita, Always delicious thanks Peter. James read more

I had ordered food to go around 9:30 pm and when I got home I only ate half, the next day I decided to eat the other half and when I opened the sandwich to reheat it there was a cockroach in the sandwich. I had gone back to speak to the manager and the manager kept denying that they had no cockroaches in the restaurant but clearly you see the cockroach squished. Manager was so rude about it and told me that next time I should've called and if it happened again he wouldn't not do anything about it. Horrible customer service he provided. Next time if you decided to eat at the three dollar in Buckhead location make sure you check and open your food to see for any cockroaches. I feel so disgusted! read more

To start you could loose a tire in the shabby pot hole hell of a parking lot. If you plan on having soup Chicken tortilla, its opened from a can, poured into a bowl & then heated in the Microwave!! No tortillas in the soup . Not served with crackers or a piece if bread . If you ask for bread , you will get a hotdog bun sliced open , thrown on a grill then charged 8.00 for it Lesson learned NEVER again . The manager did take it off our bill . Thats the least Go home hungry!! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite - staff is rude and too busy socializing with each other. I ordered a beer and decided to go eat somewhere else after determining the service levels are horrible. If you want service I suppose you need to set yourself on fire? Never again. Shame - this place used to be good. read more
