    Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Food is really good here. I've been a few times and it never misses. We had the fish and grits and the salmon and grits. Both were amazing. Also had margaritas which were excellent! Highly recommend you make a reservation at this place gets packed. Indoor and outdoor sitting. It's not hot at all on the outside which is the cabana area. They have plenty of fans and it's nicely shaded.

    Chicken & Waffles

    Toast on Lenox was SO good. I completely understand why this place stays packed! Definitely make a reservation because it was busy when we went. I had the lobster and waffles, and the lobster was honestly cooked to perfection. Fried lobster is really difficult to get right, it can easily end up dry, tough, or overly salty, but this was none of those things. It was perfectly cooked, tender, crispy, and seasoned just right. So, so good. We also tried the chicken and waffles, which were really good as well. I had one of their coffee drinks and it was delicious and made really well, and the mimosas were good too. Everything we had was a hit. I genuinely can't wait to go back!

    People's was saying don't believe the hype well I believe the hype can't wait to return and try more items on the menu. Bartender was very kool and helpful.

    Short rib skillet w/scrambled eggs & side of Gouda Mac & cheese

    Toast On Lenox did not disappoint! The atmosphere was vibrant, the music set the perfect brunch vibe and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish. I ordered the Short Rib Skillet with a side of mac & cheese, and both were absolutely delicious. The short rib was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly in a skillet. The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and definitely worth adding. Be prepared to enjoy left overs later. Yes, there plates are enough for 2nds and to simply share. I also love trying unique lemon drops everywhere I go, so I was excited to order the Lychee Lemon Drop. Unfortunately, they were out of lychee fruit today, so I decided to pass. It was a little disappointing, but it definitely won't stop me from coming back to try it another time. Overall, the food, energy, and experience made for a great brunch. If you're looking for flavorful food, a lively atmosphere, and a place that's perfect for brunch with friends or family, Toast On Lenox is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back for French toast next time!

    Fried Catfish and Grits

    Great first time experience! My auntie and I came and had the red snapper and fried catfish. Food was good and flavorful! Cierra, the server was very accommodating, kind, funny, and timely! She definitely deserves more pay for the amount of work she puts in.

    We came in on an early Sunday brunch right as it opened. There was a line so I'm glad we got there early. Nice music playing at a good level to still enjoy a nice conversation. Everything was pretty good. Standout entree was the salmon croquettes and grits. Service was decent since it was pretty busy but she was friendly.

    My friend wanted to treat me to lunch for my birthday so we decided to come here. We made reservations for two ahead of time so we could get seated effortlessly. I started off with the Cajun crab dip for my appetizer. It was phenomenal! Then I got the GA hot honey fried chicken as my main course. It came with three wings tossed in their hot honey sauce placed on a bed of collard greens and candied yams. I also ordered a side of their Gouda Mac and cheese to go along with it. My friend enjoyed the beef short rib breakfast skillet for her main course. To wash it all down, I enjoyed a strawberry mimosa while my friend had a glass of their black girl magic champagne. Once we came to a finish, our server Ashley surprised me with a birthday dessert. It was a strawberry shortcake biscuit. It was so good, I forgot to take a photo of it at the restaurant. Thank you Toast for a beautiful experience and cheers to many more!

    Seafood gumbo
    Candice P.

    I have heard about this place and have seen the lines out the door waiting to be seated. I knew this place was a hot spot and I have always wanted to try it. We came on a Sunday when they were booked and busy. If you are willing to wait an hour or two to be seated then you should try it out, otherwise make a reservation in advance. Once we were seated we were told that we can scan the QR plated code that was on the table for the menu. They have a lot to choose from to order so you won't be disappointed. Our server's name was Jay and he was very polite and friendly. He even gave us a little history about the restaurant (hours they are open/closed, how long the restaurant has been in business etc). We really appreciated the conversation. I ordered their seafood gumbo for an appetizer and the Mississippi Catfish for my entree. My husband opted for the Country Fried Chicken Biscuit. The seafood gumbo was plentiful and my husband and I shared. The roux was amazing, and the gumbo portion was just right. I loved the sausage, crawfish, crab, rice and shrimp. My catfish fillets were fried perfectly and tasted very delicious although they were a little small. The mac n cheese was divine and the collard greens were succulent. I cleaned my plate and left no crumbs. My husband enjoyed his dish and cleaned his plate as well. I would love to come back when it's less busy but then you will need to fight traffic to get here (unless you are a little closer to the location). If you don't mind a place that's booked and busy on the weekends and you really want to try a lovely brunch spot, check them out. The food was delicious and our service was great. I can't wait to try them again.

    Toast on Lenox never fails me. Every single time I go, the food is consistently delicious, and I honestly don't think I've ever had anything bad from there. No matter what I order, it's always good, which is why I recommend this place to people all the time. The vibe is great, the food is flavorful, and they've definitely become one of my go-to spots in Atlanta.

    Salmon Cakes
    Crystal H.

    Talk about amazing breakfast! I came just for the salmon cakes and I'm glad I made the trip. The salmon cakes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They were topped with picked onions and arugula with a light sauce. Sitting on a bed of pimento grits. I had a side of scrambled eggs and a honey biscuit as well. Let's just say I over ate because it was just that good. Yet still didn't finish. Got there first thing on a Thursday morning and quickly the restaurant started to fill up. I sat at the bar and the staff were very attentive and pleasant.

    Let me tell you, Toast was so good I forgot to take pictures until halfway through! I love some good soul food and this was a 5/5. I ordered the catfish, collard greens, and candied yams and it was all delicious. I wish the yams were cooked a little longer but still so good regardless. Service was also excellent. We were seated immediately and everyone was very friendly. The restaurant was also very clean. I would definitely like to return and try something else!

    This place serves delicious food. The venue is at the corner of a strip mall. Parking is extremely limited during brunch on the weekends but plenty of parking throughout the week. I would get here early if I were you. I have tried the French Toast, Short Rib skillet, and Catfish & Grits. Everything has tasted great. This time, I ordered the salmon cakes with scrambled eggs and grits. The food is amazing. The salmon cakes must be made in house because it was packed with salmon and flavor. The eggs were good. The biscuit was covered in honey and decent. The grits were extremely good also.

Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

I'd understand if they stated it online or somewhere but they decide each evening whether or not they will take any takeout orders and then only way to find out is by calling. This is incredibly frustrating because you can't plan or count on being able to get food from there and with a menu as expensive as theirs that's just unacceptable, in my opinion. My impression is that they are stuck in the 1980s around when they opened and don't want to update the experience. Hence their post strict dress code and arbitrary takeout policy.

We visited Voss Lounge on Wednesday, April 1, excited for happy hour after seeing their Instagram flyer advertising $5 drinks, small apps, and hookah. Well...that's not exactly what we got. Once we arrived, we were told those $5 specials were actually for Tuesdays--not Wednesdays--and that detail was not clear on Instagram. I was told it was listed on their website, but let's be real...this is 2026--people are checking IG and TikTok, not websites. If you're promoting on social media, it needs to be accurate. We got there around 4:15 PM (happy hour starts at 4), and the place was empty--music wasn't even on yet. My party of four was seated right away, and we ordered drinks, food, and hookah. The lounge itself was beautiful--decked out in red and black with a really nice vibe. I had lemon drops and wings--both were actually really good. No complaints on the food or drink at all. But just know, the wings were not $5 since that special didn't apply that day. Now...the hookah experience? A complete mess. The hookah wasn't $5 either--it was $25 if I recall correctly. The hookah attendant recommended a flavor that was honestly not good at all. When we told her we didn't like it and asked to switch flavors (which we were willing to pay for), she tried to make us purchase a refill instead of simply fixing the issue. We asked to speak to a manager. She went to the back and spoke with someone who I later found out was the owner--but he never came out to address us. That alone didn't sit right with me. Instead, she came back, grabbed the hookah, and walked off. No explanation, no replacement--nothing. It felt like, "We won't charge you, but you're also not getting another one." That whole situation completely turned us off. Now I will give credit where it's due--our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. Friendly, attentive, and she did her best to take care of us. But overall, between the misleading Instagram promotion, the poor hookah experience, and the lack of management presence...this just wasn't it for me.

And the lemon pepper was just salt, I ended up taking lemon from my drink to squeeze it on the chicken. Also, our food did not come out at the same time. One person got her meal and finished before anyone else did. The waitress was cool and we thought she was going to get everything but at the end the billing was a disaster and took quite some time to get resolved. Lastly, parking was free and easy to find! But overall, we still enjoyed ourselves. I might would go back, if I just sat at the bar or didn't have a big table.

    I absolutely love this restaurant. They are always so welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice…read more It's great for business meetings or a romantic dinner. Making reservations is really simple via OpenTable. They have Valley parking which cost around eight dollars, but there is also a parking garage where you can pay by the hour. They have a pretty large dining room with an area for more private dining as well and they also have seating at the oyster bar. This is my fourth visit and each visit the food has been really good. For our appetizers we got my favorite the shrimp à la Plancha, but I did notice that the bread that comes with the dish has gotten significantly smaller. For dinner we had the fingerling potatoes, which I was not a fan of. They were pretty hard. I got the red fish for my entrée and we got the collard greens for our vegetable and the greens tasted amazing. My friend ordered the She Crab Soup and Fried Oysters and said they were both delicious. I missed out on the Peach cake (out of season) but they had Apple and I liked it.

We also enjoyed our cocktails. That old San Juan will put you underneath the table if you're not careful. (imagine an old-fashioned made with two types of rum). You can eat outdoors or in and the sound level isn't too loud all that's great, but the real star is the food. At our table, we had the spicy kale salad, fried oysters she crab soup, and blackened red fish. All of these dishes were expertly prepare prepared... but that black and red fish was a thing of beauty oh my gosh! Ridiculously delicious. If you're having trouble making up your mind, listen to me right now get the freaking blackened red fish, OK?! I almost forgot we also had dessert. Everyone except for me really loved that apple pudding cake. I thought it was just kind of a mess. But ohhhh, the Keylime pie!! A work of art! So very good.

    Food is banging. Service needs help. When I get the equivalent of a "sup?" all night when I'm…read morepaying over 500 for my table I expect some better service. Tossed off, slacker vibe is cool when it's a burrito joint. But Little Bear is better than that.

There's plenty of places nearby for a pre or post dinner drink or both (S/O Halfway Crooks and Redacted). My husband and I came at the beginning of August, and the prix fixe menu was Burmese cuisine. We both got the prix fixe menu + the drink pairing. I'm no expert on Burmese cuisine, but the menu was immaculate. It was one of those meals where both of us ranked our favorite courses, and the rankings were completely opposite of each other. That's when you know every dish was amazing!! Even the dessert which had a salty basil component to it was just spectacular. The only thing we didn't love was the last cocktail on the drink menu, which was supposed to be a White Russian with crab Rangoon flavors. It wasn't terrible but not great either. Service was a tiny bit slow, but we didn't mind because we were looking for a longer dining experience. Can't wait to come back and try other menus in the future!!
