    Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! Jonathan our server was amazing too! Drinks were flowing, music, outdoor seating.....just our fav Mexican restaurant

    First time here had the verde burrito delish! Mango margaritas delish! The staff was amazing and our server Batian (hope I spelled correctly) was a great server friendly!

    Beef enchiladas, queso,

    We just moved to the area and wanted to find good Mexican food close by. We had an amazing experience and cannot wait to be back. We ordered queso, chips, beef enchiladas, the Villa Special and skinny margaritas. Everything was great!

    Coconut Shrimp

    Super Coconut Shrimp served fast, hot and delicious! Outstanding Service with a Smile. Cozy restaurant with excellent food and WiFi. Great ambiance!

    The tacos were good and not stingy with the fillings. My hub loves the California burrito which is like a big fajita wrapped up with all the toppings. The chips are fresh and service was very friendly. We first sat in a booth that had a broken seat so maybe the interior could use some sprucing up, but there's a large deck with lots of tables for when it's nice outside.

    The menus both food and drinks  have a variety of items. I'm having a Dos Equis Ambar.

    Had a taste for Mexican an saw this spot on the way Definitely a local eatery, the music was loud, the voices were mostly Mexican. Enjoyed the food.

    Ceviche
    Amanda S.

    I visited for lunch today with my kids and their grandmother. We were able to sit out on the patio which was fairly cool for such a warm day. We had a small dog with us as well so we sat near the corner of the patio. Our sever was fast and very attentive. The food was really great! Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The one thing I didn't love was the initial salsa was very bland but the spicy salsa was GREAT! My oldest has a thing for ceviche and for the money it was just alright. Flavor was a bit lacking but the addition of the lime helped. For $19 I expected a little better but the presentation was beautiful. I highly recommend the chunky guacamole which we could have gotten 2 orders of but decided we probably should save room for the entrees. If you have kids their kids chicken fingers is a huge plate. The fries were great, chicken was a little overcooked. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable--she offered helpful suggestions from the varied menu. We'd heard good things about the burgers and decided to try them, ordering ours cooked medium. The server mentioned that unless specified, burgers are typically served medium well. The wait for our food was a bit long, and it seemed other tables were experiencing the same. Bohemian seems like a better spot to visit when you're not in a rush. When the burgers arrived, both were cooked well done instead of medium. Unfortunately, our server didn't check back until we were nearly finished eating. I showed her the overcooked burger, and she offered to have another one made, but by then we'd already eaten. The flavor was good, but it definitely would've been better at the requested temperature. Lesson learned--check your burger doneness before your server leaves the table, especially when they're priced around $16-$18 and more. On the bright side, the fries were excellent! Overall, despite the hiccup, I'll be back. Bohemian is worth giving another try.

    I had the straight up double patty smash burger with fries. A classic. Be sure not to add any…read moresalt before tasting this, as it is plenty seasoned. No complaints whatsoever on this as it was half-off burgers Wednesday for lunch. It is half-off burgers every Wednesday. Which knocks this down from $16 to $8 and makes it get an extra star for the value. Delicious for the every now and then burger, plus, it is late December, diets can wait until January - right? Fries are hot, crispy outside and fluffy inside and the portion is more than enough. This is primarily a sports bar ambiance with both high tops and booths/tables. Plenty of TV coverage. Great for lunch. Great for casual dining. Get there early on Wednesday lunches though, the half-off promotion brings a crowd.

Family friendly with upbeat music and booster seats. The employees at this eatery are incredibly attentive and friendly, walking around the dining area with regularity to keep tables clean & check in each customer if you need anything.

I mean, it is rotisserie chicken and that is a good thing! This was a tender, juicy chicken wing and thigh (1/4 chicken, dark). I really could not tell a discernible difference between this chicken and one of the standards from, say, Publix or Costco. But it was good. The sauces are a different story. They are why the Peruvian chicken really crosses the road. This is the differentiator. The sauces are, Aji Amarillo Sauce (Mild / Yellow), Huacatay Sauce (Medium / Green), Roasted Rocoto Sauce (Hot / Red), and Huancaina Sauce (Creamy Queso Fresco Sauce). I did not try them all, but I did roll with the Rocoto sauce. It was spicy, maybe too much for the average "mild" sauce person, but for me, it was a nice compliment to the chicken and sides that I ordered. And I received two of the small plastic "ramekin" type sauce containers for "to go." Which is good, because my order was "to go." Service was quick and polite. Restaurant is smaller, but very clean. Kitchen is open enough so that you can see the process in the works. My sides were cilantro rice and Peruvian corn salad. Both very healthy and both very bland. Which is another big plus for the sauce. I would also add that the location is at the corner of Garlington Road and Woodruff Road and not the easiest place to get into and out of unless you are going in a certain direction. Which I was. A minor win there. All told, this is a good option if you can get in and out with traffic, the chicken is good, the star of the show is definitely the sauce and I would say that overall their menu has very healthy options. My quarter chicken listed for $10.39 with two sides. With my Viva Chicken desires satisfied, I would recommend this restaurant if convenient to your travels, but honestly would not make it a destination.

We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon at 12:00 PM--perhaps a bit early for live music or games. Nonetheless, we found a full bar, a classic American menu, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. Located on Woodruff Rd in the Five Forks area, Bullwinkle's is situated directly across from Publix and behind a strip center, literally occupying the ground floor of a Great Spaces Storage building. Parking here is plentiful. The decor reflects the typical vibe of a sports bar/restaurant, with TVs mounted throughout, all tuned into a variety of sports. During our visit, college football, golf, soccer, and baseball were all on display, with the Manchester vs. Chelsea soccer match attracting a notable crowd. While the restaurant is one large space, its layout allows guests to find tables or seating areas that offer a sense of privacy. The menu includes all the expected favorites: pizza, calzones, wings, burgers, and a diverse selection of other items. The pizza is particularly popular, and they boast an extensive craft beer list. Our server was busy but attentive, and the food was quite good--though I would suggest cooking the wings a bit longer for optimal flavor. Although Bullwinkle's is a little off the beaten path, it's definitely worth a visit!
