    two drinks on a table outside
    Christian E.

    I was unaware that this was a smoking establishment. It reaked of ashtray and had dirty one on our table. There should be a sign on the door because I would of turned around had I known. Cigarettes give me a headache but it was slow so we hopped it wouldn't be bad but We had to move outside it was so strong. The service was fast and friendly but food (appetizers) were all frozen items that came out in less than 5-10 minutes. The drinks were at least strong. This is more of a bar setting with band area & pool tables than a restaurant.

    Place reeks of smoke. Food was just average. Odd that there were slot machines inside as I didn't think that was allowed in Georgia.

    This is my second time at this location and my most recent visit was just as pleasant as my first…read more I see that they have a seasonal menu, but I never realized that their items all have about 600 or less. Now I understand why their dessert selections were mini indulgences instead of a full dessert entree. For this visit the table ordered crab and shrimp, stuffed mushrooms as well as their avocado toast for appetizers. Each appetizer was so very tasty but I was very impressed by the stuffed mushrooms. They were delicious. The other people in my party, ordered fish dishes, and I ordered the steak and lobster. We all throughly enjoyed our entrees. Everyone ordered one mini indulgence: oatmeal cookie cream, turtle cheesecake and the key lime pie. Those mini indulgences are so good I wish it was a full entree dessert. We will definitely put this restaurant on our date night rotation.

    Met up with my good friend while I was in town. The flatbreads are so good! And I love the wine…read moreoptions. The parking lot is a little small, there's complimentary valet (tip suggested), and some self-parking spots. Depending on the time you get there, the lot could be full, but there is mall parking across the way. We sat at the bar and loved it. I'd def come back if in the area. Service was lovely and the inside had a great vibe.

    Well now... let me tell y'all about a little place in Buford that flat-out surprised the socks off…read moreme -- 5 Spot Cafe. I rolled in there hungry enough to eat the bumper off a truck and ordered the meatloaf ciabatta sandwich with hand-cut fries, and sweet mercy... somebody's grandma must be back there running the kitchen because that thing was borderline life-changing. The meatloaf was thick, juicy, and had that "somebody's been perfecting this recipe since 1978" flavor going on. The ciabatta held it together like a champ, and those hand-cut fries? Lord have mercy. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside -- the kind you keep saying "just one more" until suddenly the basket's empty and you're thinking about ordering another. Now here's the real kicker: they've got gluten-free options, which means I can bring my wife this weekend without her looking at the menu like it personally offended her. That alone deserves a round of applause. So if you're anywhere near Buford and your stomach starts talking louder than your good sense, do yourself a favor and stop by. Just be warned: You might leave full, happy... and already planning your next visit before you even get to the parking lot.

The waitress was on top of everything during the entire meal. The food was the highlight!!! I had cream cheese French toast with fruit ( they made it gluten free for me) with perfectly cooked eggs and bacon. The coffee was great and they had real half and half (not the kind made with oil) . I have to eat GF but hubby doesn't. His meal included a home made biscuit , eggs and sausage. I can't wait to try their lunch menu!!!

Before, they had shallow bowls and smaller portions but they upgraded to a deeper/bigger bowl and bigger portion sizes. The only difference is it doesn't come with the free sweet potato chips anymore, but you can still get the chips for extra. But hey, I would definitely take bigger portions over a side chips any day. It's super easy to order here. Just pick your flavor profile, the base (greens, brown rice, or half and half), and protein. My favorite flavor is still the Chipotle Mango Avocado. I love the creamy chipotle sauce. And they give more of the avocado mixture now. It has black beans, red onion, corn, cheese in it. For proteins, I love the shrimp and tofu. The tofu is a great vegetarian option. This is my favorite location too. It's spacious (also has an outdoor dining area) and very clean. Food is great and feels very healthy compared to some other fast casual options.

    New Gusto location! Great service and fresh bowls! Love the variety of options on the menu as well…read moreas the sauces they offer. Glad they opened a location in this part of town. The interior dining space is always warm and inviting. Always a fan of the high ceilings and the artwork. This location doesn't have a drive thru. I wish they did! I would probably come a lot more often when I have my dog with me. Gusto also has the best sweet potato chips. I love both options- BBQ and regular. They need to sell those in a big bag. If they were cheaper, I would buy a ton of extra to take home. Yes, it's that good. Definitely a spot to check out if you enjoy fresh & tasty clean eats!

Today, they were out of the nuts for the cinnamon pancakes, which was especially disappointing because that's the specific dish I brought my daughter here to try. This is not a reflection on the staff, as they have always been friendly and provide great service. The issue appears to be with inventory management. It's frustrating that before 9:00 a.m. a main ingredient for a featured menu item is already unavailable. Whoever is responsible for ordering really needs to improve the process, because consistently running out of key ingredients takes away from the customer experience.
