terrible experience. We came here after visiting the Trap Museum, and it was such a disappointment. The drinks were pricey, mostly juice, and came in really small portions. The "pocket tacos" were just regular tacos, but the meat was super greasy there was literally grease pooling in the taco. My friend ordered mozzarella sticks, but we didn't find out they were out of marinara sauce until they were already on the table. They don't take returns, so we switched to the sliders instead, which came plain just lettuce and tomato, no cheese, ketchup, or anything. The only good thing was the spinach dip. We were planning to order entrées, but after the appetizers, we decided to call it a night. Definitely not worth the hype or the price. read more

I was in the area and wanted to try T.I's spot out. Found parking right in front of the establishment. Went in and sat at the bar. The young lady was attentive to me as I sat and answered questions that I had. I remember her telling me she was from Detroit or somewhere from the Midwest. Any who, I ordered the Salmon money rolls, spinach dip and the trouble for my drink. All the items I ordered were pretty tasty. While there, some of her friends came to visit. We all had some laughs and quick conversations. The only thing I did not like is, when it came time for me to pay for my meal the young lady did not print me a receipt to show the itemized portion. She held on to the handheld device and had it basically showing how much to pay and the tip portion. I then asked her for a printed copy and she said she was unable to print it out for me. Now, me just knowing how things go out here in this world, I already knew what timing the young lady was on. I paid the bill and I tipped her extra in cash. She just needed that blessing. I probably won't go back though. read more

My friends and I are in town for a conference through the weekend and Karaoke Thursdays was our first stop when we arrived. From the time we entered the building, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Our waitress, Poca, was nice and super helpful with my food allergy and, Vincent, the manager, took extra care to ensure my safety. The food tasted phenomenal! I had the lamb chops, greens, and Gouda Mac. Overall, the table tasted the turkey burger, fries, fried broccoli, dirty chicken Alfredo, salmon taco, and spring rolls. The drinks (too many to name ) were exceptional! We felt at home here! It was a safe, fun place to have a good time, great food, electric ambiance, and top tier drinks. We got a special surprise in the King himself (TIP) visiting our table to 1) ensure everything was going well and 2) hear our minor correction on a menu item (Gangsta Boo Chicken Head should actually be La Chat Chick Head...IYKYK). Trap City Cafe is a must visit the next time you're in Atlanta or just passing through. read more

This is definitely a dive bar but bartenders are cool and good w drinks and they serve food. It looked good. They need an update on their look. You can get your hookah fix there. I think it just depends on the time of day you go but it wasn't jumping when I went. read more

It was really chill at the time I went round 6 there is hooka so if your not comfortable with smoke than it ain't for you but it was def for me loved the signage and art work !

They made it to two stars because the server was super sweet, BUT the entire experience was giving GHETTO! I was super annoyed by having to pay $20 to self park just to dine at their restaurant, but a friend invited me, so I paid the fee and went in. Once inside, it took awhile to get a beverage because I'm pretty certain it was only the one server. Waited awhile for her to circle back because there were about 8-10 other tables there. We finally placed our orders and waited for our food to come. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited some more. More than a 1 1/2 hours later of waiting, I gave up and left. Apparently they only had one cook so food was taking forever to come out and to add injury to insult, they didn't want to give me my $20 parking fee back! Guess I'll never know how the food truly tastes, cause I can say I'll never return! read more

It was ok. The food wasn't that great and it was too expensive for the portions. Our drinks weren't strong enough to even get a little buzz. I ordered wings, 1 drink, fries and lamb chops (it came with greens and eggs). Nothing was delicious, everything was literally just ok. The atmosphere was nice. I won't return. read more

Honestly the only bad place I ate at while in Atl and I NEVER leave bad reviews. We came here at 1pm and was excited to try the main lunch/dinner selections that was on the menu. Our server told us that brunch is served until 4:30. We were disappointed - we didnt want brunch. Their brunch menu was very small and basically. and what restaraunt does brunch that LATE ? This information wasnt posted anywhere we wish would have known prior to arriving. We decided to come back at 4:30 and our server this time told us that brunch was until 5 and we told her we were told 4:30 so she said well that true but yall cant put lunch/dinner items in yet till 5. Highly annoyed but hungry we ordered drinks and waited. We asked for water and she told us that they didnt have any water... What restaraunt has a bar and drink fountain with no water ? She said the only water option was to purchase a $5 water bottle. We purchased it... The server decides she doesnt wanna be our server anymore for no reason, so we got assigned a new server. The new server told us that dinner was not till 5:30 - after that we should have left! Then we explained to her that this is the third time change we experienced so she ended up letting us place our order. As we were waiting for our food, we noticed the table beside us had cups of ice water which I initially asked for. I asked the girls at the table if they asked for water and they said yes and they server gave them cups of water, I told them that my server said they didnt have any water and they told us that was a lie and they server didnt give them any problems with ordered water. I explained to my server that we ordered water and the first server said there was no water and made us purchase the $5 water bottles. The server tried to cover for her and say the other tables with water asked for cups of us - another bold face lie. The manager said that the server said it was no water because they didnt have any ice at the time and they have a policy where they cant serve water with no ice. Another bold face lie because my friend ordered a soda and it had ice in it. The table who had water came in shortly after us abd got their water with no problem. The server should have told us that ice was on the way or something and not flat out that the restaraunt didnt have any water. Food was not even that great. It was given apple bees quality and the service made it taste even worst. Now Insee why the restaraunt was fairly empty. Would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Trap City Cafe - Chicken Alfredo - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Went here on a Friday afternoon around 5 had an early dinner. I had the salmon sliders with the mashed potatoes they were good. Son had wings and French fries they were alright. Hubby had jeezy jerk chicken with black eye peas and collard greens he said they were good.My daughter had the whiting sandwich and fries and she enjoyed her pineapple juice drink. The sweet tea was strong super sweet. The inside was dark and we were the only customers for a while. The derive was good and they food came out not too quickly. The place was clean afterwards we hit the Trap museum and they let us stay parked there so we didn't have to pay for parking at the museum. Gratuity is automatic. read more

Decided to swing by this place to grab some food with friends. Let's begin with the $20 parking annoying but common for Atlanta. The environment was very underwhelming our server was polite and the service with quick. The food however was terrible. I got the scamming salmon and all I can say is it was named correctly. The salmon was indeed a scam, incredibly small and flavorless. The best thing on my plate was the broccoli. Everyone else's food was underwhelming maybe this place is meant for hookah and drinks but definitely not food. Save your money! read more

Trap City Cafe - Scamming Salmon - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Not enough food for the price. I ordered the salmon croquettes and grits. The salmon was 2 balls about the size of hushpuppies and about 2 spoonful of grits. I asked for water. Water is 3$ a bottle and it was great value Walmart brand water. My friend ordered a ceasar salad in which she was given ranch dressing and no ceasar, a small amout of salad spread out on the plate to make it look like alot. They will not give you a printed receipt so i didn't leave an extra tip. Seems as tho 10 extra bucks were added to my bill. Oh and parking is $20. WON"T BE BACK! My second time visiting and both times I had issues. read more

Loved the food, ambience and service! First time in ATL and yall showed out!! DJ Greg Street was on the mic and you know it was a vibe! Hookah stayed crisp the whole time and drinks were delicious and strong!! read more

I purchased shrimp and grits and the flavor profile wasn't there, my friends and I noticed nobody orders food that should've been a clue for us not to order but we were hungry and just landed. When eating my shrimp & grits I found wood in my food that poked me in my gums and was still charged for it which is insane to me being that I was asked did I want to replace the dish I said yes but I rather the three wings instead of another shrimp & grits dish. The waitress came back to the table to let me know the wings will be out in a few and was very apologetic and that the kitchen told her that the wood pieces were from the garnish. I said they should definitely wash the garish if they are going to place it into customers entrees! Spoke to the manager and she said she will look into it. Both the manager and waitress were attentive but to still be charged for wood being in my food and poke me in my gums is insane. I will never visit another celebrity restaurant again in ATL they are overpriced, overhyped and under delivered! The Hive is a better option than has better quality food! read more

A friend and I decided to go after ONE Music Fest. The service was good. Keisha our server was great. Good music of course. My friend and I had the trap star sampler. It was enough for 2 people to share. The food wasn't the greatest. The salmon sliders didn't have anything on it no sauce it was dry. I asked him not to put lettuce on my tacos. They put lettuce on it anyways. I asked the server if she could ask them to redo it with no lettuce. The kitchen told her that's how they come. What if I had an allergic reaction to lettuce... Maybe I should have tried something else on the menu. I had a cocktail (pineapple perc). It was decent. If I come back, I probably would get a hookah. And chill... Light skin Houdini was the icing on the cake while I was at Trap City Café. He caught me off guard while I was eating. He pulled up on me. Telling me the guy I was w/ was my future husband lol. Houdini was funny. Good entertainment read more

To get fast service go before 7pm. The shrimp and grits were amazing, Chef Bri cooked mine. The decor was amazing and the music was dope. It's MOs definitely a vibe before they get busy which is after 6:30pm. read more

I love love love t.i but my experience here was not so great ... first off I paid $20 to self park my car in a sketchy parking area that had no signage stating there was a fee just some random guy walking up in all black saying pay $20 ... The waitresses were all beautiful and very very nice and welcoming... I ordered the sampler that comes with two tacos ( trash no seasoning at all chicken was dry piled with lettuce no cheese or tomato just meat and lettuce) party wings ( they was ok but ) fries ( soggy asf ) and salmon sliders ( pretty decent) overall the sample needs a little work but for my first time having it I was a little disappointed. The atmosphere was dope , dj dope , staff dope I just wish my food experience was better . Whoever cooked it didn't put any kind of love into it a most cooks/chefs . read more

Trap City Cafe - Sampler - Salad Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I visited this restaurant mostly because I paid $20 for parking to go the Trap museum so I figured I may as well grab something to eat. I also wanted to support a black owned business and TI since I've been a fan of his since his Trap Music CD. The vibe was cool, our server was nice, the DJ played some good music, and my drink was decent tho a bit overpriced imo. The food was good - the lamb chops were bomb but the salmon sliders were a little disappointing- not enough meat and served on blah dinner rolls but the Gouda Mac and cheese made up for it. But for the price and automatic gratuity, they should really consider better presentation and provide real silverware (not to-go plasticware) and plastic plates. Overall it was a good experience and I would probably visit again if I come back to ATL. read more

Trap City Cafe is located right next to the Trap Museum. There is a self park parking lot for $20 or valet. I came on a Monday for happy hour, which is from 5-8p M-Th. We were able to walk right in and get a seat at the bar, it wasn't crowded at all. More people started arriving closer to 8pm. It's a pretty nice cafe and gives a sports bar/lounge feel, while sticking with the Trap theme. They have events throughout the week: Game night, Karaoke, Comedy shows, R&B night, and Brunch. I ordered the lamb chops and a side of Mac & cheese, with a margarita. My margarita had something floating in it, so the bartender made me another. The margarita kinda had a weird taste, but was drinkable. When the food came out, the lamb chops were well done and salty. I asked for them to be medium. The bartender had no problem having the kitchen fix it. The Mac & cheese was more like pasta with cheese (penne pasta noodles covered in cheese). The bartender was nice and patient, and made sure we were good. If I do return, it would mostly be for the vibe and to try the hookah and other drinks. read more

My boyfriend and I went on a Thursday night & was pleasantly surprised because it ended up being karaoke night, so the entertainment was entertaining to say the least. The alcoholic drinks were served in small glasses & were heavily watered down (my basic margarita was $17). Conversely, the entrees we got were tasty and decently proportioned. NOTE: They do not serve ice water on tap, so you pay $5 for a single bottle of Beauty H2O. The utensils provided are the cheap, white, individually packaged fork & knife sets that come with salt & pepper -- super flimsy for adequately eating and given the high price of patronizing here. Not to mention an automatic 20% gratuity is added to all checks and parking was $20 that night. Other than the single plus of this restaurant being a Black owned business, I am not inclined to ever return here. read more

Me and my wife came here for my birthday dinner. Aubrey The Christian Magician entertained us with some dope card tricks before the waitress came to take our order. We both ordered Alfredo (mine with lamb chops, wife had hers with chicken). Food was delicious but it wasn't hot. It was a little on the lukewarm side. Service was great though. Loved the atmosphere. Loved the music and the vibes. It was also a little pricey. Parking was $20 read more

Trap City Cafe. What a great first time experience! Atmosphere, customer service, music, most importantly food and drinks were exceptional. "Get Fresh Fridays" did not disappoint. My wife had the salmon sliders, with a side of fries. I got the salmon Alfredo pasta w/broccoli. Both were seasoned very well and tasty! Our server Holly was very attentive and made sure we had the very best experience. Now if you're into hookahs these are also available, and affordable. Very smooth, I recommend the watermelon and mint flavor mixed. Thank me later. Gratuity is included on all checks. You also pay to park. Let me not leave out that we had the greatest pleasure of meeting Mr. T.I. himself and I must say he was very welcoming and wanted everyone to genuinely enjoy the moment. read more

I'm not from the ATL so I was clueless to the set up. I expected something different due to the need to make reservations online. I thought this was an upscale sort of environment.

Went here for the first time and I have to say it was a pleasant experience. I sat at a hightop table alone and took in my surroundings. It wasn't too crowded, which was a plus, and the atmosphere was quite swanky. Although hookah was available, it wasn't too smoky inside. It does help that the garage like door was open. Although, that did allow for the cool Atlanta air to filter throughout the restaurant, which resulted in a bit of a chill. Thankfull, I brought a jacket with me. Something to make note of if you plan to visit during the cooler months. The food was decent. I got the beef sliders. The kitchen was moving kind of slow to not be so busy, but my waitress, Taylor, was very pleasant. She let me know the kitchen was moving alow but my food would be out soon. Given I wasn't in an rush, I didn't mind the wait. The sliders were good, definitely would recommend. However, the tomatoes could be thinner. The fries were also good. Although, they were frozen fries they weren't bad. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the drinks. Aside from the alcohol, they didn't have some staples like soda, and pineapple juice. There should always be a substantial amount of these drinks available for mixed drinks and for those that don't drink such as myself. I will add, the plastic utensils were a huge let down. I believe they could do better when it comes to that, but it doesn't totally distract from the entire experience. Finally, T.I himself was there sitting at the bar. Although, he didn't approach his patrons, which I wish he did, these celebrities have to remember we are visiting their businesses, and great customer service goes a very long way. Even though he didn't approach us customers, he was approachable and very pleasant when done so. I asked for a picture and he said when Im on my way out to let him know and he'd meet me outside to take the picture. Which is was completely grateful for. He had a little exchange, he shooke my hand, thanked me for visiting, took the picture, then thanked me again. And that goes a very long way with me. I will definitely visit again and tell others to visit as well, but I'd let them know don't always expect him to be there. I guess I got lucky. Other things to consider... Parking is $20 Gratuity is included in all checks Hookah can be smoked at tables Dj is present, so it was loud Water is $5 for a bottle. No glass of water is available read more

Feb 2023 I totally forgot to post this review, better late than never! Overall I give high marks for the performance of this restaurant, did not fully explored the bar or restaurant menu, but I will still leave pertinent information for those thinking of stopping by ... Service: 5/5 Service was quick and readily available for us. I noticed they definitely have a type of waitress; young, and beautiful. It was an added, plus for them to also be pleasant and ready to serve. Prices:5/5 We had an appetizer, a 4/5 drinks, and a Hookah. Under $100 was fair in my opinion. Ambiance: 5/5 The atmosphere of Trap City Cafe is definitely exciting. It gives upscale, and the music was beautiful. They featured live music that night, and he gave us a heavy Jimi Hendrix vibe. Super pleasurable, and he performed for hours to our enjoyment. Taste/Textures: 5/5 We had only an appetizer, the typical chips and spinach dip. It was hot and chips were fresh. No qualms there, would definitely like to explore the menu a little bit more. Value: 5/5 Totally worth it , even with the parking hassle. We did have to ride around a bit in order for us to secure parking and figure out what that entailed beyond valet, which was available as well. Bottom Line : Come, check it out for yourself! I did see some less than stellar reviews, but my experience personally was fine. I enjoy the atmosphere, the service, the hookah, drinks, and food! read more

There was only one other party in the restaurant. Three of us ordered the 6 piece wings. I had the battered wings that were refried and burnt . We had to wait an additional 15 minutes to get the fries. A bottle of water was $6. No refills on the sodas. They will not give you coin change if you pay cash.

I went to the famous rapper TI's restaurant for brunch. It costs $20 to park your own car! I did not like that at all! Space was limited as well. The place was smaller than I expected but it was clean and nicely decorated. I appreciated all of the artistic photographs of various rappers. I believe that some of them were even for sale. Holly was our waitress and she was great! She was very attentive and consistently made sure that we had everything that we needed! The best part of my visit was the dj! I didn't catch his name but if he is there full time, you are in for a treat! The music gave me life! Music makes everything better! As far as the food, I was a bit disappointed. I ordered the lamb chops and eggs with a side of collard greens. The food was cold. I'm not sure why because it wasn't very busy so it's not like they had to prepare lots of orders to make us wait. I felt like the food was premade and they just scooped it on my plate. The greens were seasoned well. Everything else was bland. I did enjoy the mimosas! Let's just say that they got the job done. Overall if you're looking for a place with good music, vibes, and mimosas, then try Trap City cafe. The food not so much. read more

Food-I don't like jumbo wings so I was happy when the bartender said the wings were small. However when they came out they were micro tiny. Like omg. And wasn't crispy like we asked. Drink prices- i had a perc for $19 in a small ass cup then ordered a tip ol lady which was $16 but in a much BIGGER cup. didn't like the more expensive drink was in a small ass cup. Drink taste -drinks were good and strong Bartender customer service -our bartender was boo'd up on a date or something smh she kept leaving the bar to go sit by her ni**a. We had to call her attention every time we needed something. Gratuity-automatically adding gratuity is crazy when the customer service isn't on point like why shld we automatically have to give our bartender $13 when her service was trash be ffr Ambiance -we liked that it wasn't fancy. Def gave trap vibes which we liked. Valet customer service was good Music was good Overall, 2/10 due to the food experience and bartender's service. Wouldn't go back because I hate places that have high prices and service doesn't match. read more
