Food was definitely the highlight of our visit! The meats were fresh, flavorful, and there was a good variety to choose from. We left satisfied with the quality of the food. The only downside was the service. Since the AYCE has a 90-minute limit, I expected food to come out a little faster. There were long waits between rounds, which made it hard to make the most of the time. The cocktails also weren't my favorite. They were very sweet, and I couldn't really taste the alcohol. The ambiance was modern, clean, and inviting. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere that made it a great spot for dinner with friends or family. Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I hope they can improve the speed of service and balance the drinks a bit better.

As a gold nft holder I am a faithful fan of the chubby brand. This was a special night and Kenny was very attentive and fun and a most gracias attendant. I could not ask for any more of an exceptional experience.

Karissa went above and beyond! Assisting us with cooking as well as answering our questions. She is knowledge about the menu and she is very warm and welcoming. I would come back because of her excellent customer service. Thank you, Karissa! Ambiance is great. The view is spectacular- especially during sunset.

I've never had kbbq before and this was the besttttt place to go for my first experience. Everything was so so good and flavorful. The sushi was surprisingly good for it not even being the main thing, we were shocked. Their hot bar is insane and there is just so much stuff you can try. Our server Jonathan was also super friendly and was able to give us amazing recommendations. Seriously couldn't recommend this place enough

What a vibey dinner spot! The low dim lights, architecture and sexy red aesthetics set the tone for a nice couples dinner. Also parking was easy peasy! We did the gold tier menu where you get access to premium cut steaks. The ribeye was really good which is no surprise. My second fave was the A5 Waygu. As far as sides and sushi the waygu, yellow tail and shrimp tempura were solid sushi options. The dumplings were fireeeeee and when I say fire I mean delicious and spicy!! The tom yum soup was not bad but I don't have to get it again. I feel like we tried every meat option as a group but honestly they all start running together. As far as the buffet, it was nice. You have a salad bar with an incredible cucumber salad. White Rice, fried rice, curry, waygu meatballs, ice cream, slushies you name it. Side note: The lychee drinks were so good we ordered two. Overall I give this experience a 9/10 and only because we had to wait 15 mins to be seated and we had a reservation. I will say our server made up for the loss and he was great and enthusiastic at his job. See ya later Waygu House (I'll be back for a summer rooftop vibe)!

Redemption tastes SO good! Had to spin the block at Wagyu House and babyyyyy... they redeemed themselves ALL the way! Everything was a 10/10. I stepped out and tried new dishes, and every single bite was hitting. The waiter? Absolutely perfect attentive, patient, and made the whole experience feel VIP. After we ate, it turned into a whole photoshoot! The staff didn't even blink they were happily taking pictures for everybody. That kind of energy makes a night unforgettable. And tell me why I looked up and saw an artist from 112 in the building?! Omg. The vibes were immaculate. Thanks Saung!!!! Great food. Great service. Great energy. This is how you make a comeback! #AtlantaEats #WagyuVibes #DateNightDoneRight

Wait what?!?!? IYKYK this chain of restaurants can be pricey but if you come hungry, and with a group as motivated as you to fashionably enjoy 90 minutes of delightful endless Korean bbq you will not be disappointed! The House is more upscale than its suburban counterparts, but honestly, the quality is the same. Check out the hot sides, and desserts FIRST!! You may not need the higher tier selections unless you are looking for a specific meat cut. The sunset views is the hook here, so if thet is where you came for- STAY FOCUSED and stick you your plan.. especially if you are on a budget.... now, if it's your birthday, you have a membership and you are ready to drop some coin.. ENJOY!! You will not regret it!! Service was consistent and friendly, the robot server was creepy, and the views were picturesque!!! I'm a fan of the OTP locations but for a special night out, it was

I finally got to check out Wagyu House for a birthday dinner. I've been curious about it for a while, but since I don't eat red meat or pork, it wasn't high on my priority list. Now that they've added more seafood and chicken options, it felt like the right time. We chose the Silver Tier, and Kenny was our awesome server who walked us through how the dining experience works. Each table has an iPad where you can order up to 10 items at a time, and once you submit your order, it times out for about 7 minutes before you can order again. While waiting, you can visit the buffet, which was a nice touch. The buffet includes a variety of meat, veggie, and rice options, along with juice and tea dispensers, toppings, sauces, desserts, and soft-serve ice cream. Your table orders arrive via these cute little electronic carts, which adds to the novelty of the experience. We also ordered drinks--the lychee martini, lychee blossom, and yuzu pose--but all were on the sweeter side and not really to our taste. The ambiance is cool and modern, and overall the experience feels more like a fun concept than an exceptional dining destination. The food was fine, but not particularly memorable. Parking is available in the Interlock deck, with some street parking nearby, but they do not validate parking. Overall, Wagyu House is worth checking out if you're interested in the experience and variety, especially with a group--but it's more about the concept than the cuisine.

Sheesh, 3,200 reviews not recommended? Hopefully mine doesn't get removed, because you always know I come in with the facts. First, the hostesses at the front aren't the friendliest. How do you have 3 people standing there and no one even acknowledges you when you walk in? I digress. The venue, beautiful! Especially the roof top which offers an amazing view in the Atlanta skyline. The food? Definitely not worth the $100 (yes, the gratuity was automatically added, that is probably the one good thing I appreciate the server for letting us know). Party of six, but only one grill. Never even got any of the soup because it was on the other side of the table. Every time we ordered the guy just brought it out and put it down and left before we could even ask what was what. There were a few things that hit, but overall, especially the large cuts of meat, were tough and fatty. The vibe. Mid. We got there at 8:45, and there already seemed to be a sense of feeling rushed. Our server was not that guy. I get you were pulling double shift, but dude, I don't need to know that you have a hangover. Nor did we need you to spend 15 minutes explaining how to order when even though we said we haven't been here before we have all had Korean bbq. Dude made the experience, which was a birthday party, feel very rushed. How rushed? We were taking our time celebrating and he just took it upon himself to start cooking our food. No sir. Didn't even ask. Very rude. Also the people who were bringing food to the table literally reached directly across my face as I was eating to put a plate on the table. Like, are you serious right now? I can't even make this stuff up. What really pissed me off was the rest of the staff, who kept looking at everyone with a glare of annoyance of our presence, mind you we were only 6 people and not loud. I would think that until that clock says 10:30, everything from the drinks, desert bar, hot bar, would stay stocked. Nope! They started taking things back at 10, which was really annoying considering all together they got $600+ from us. It's unfortunate that this place charges such a premium price just for the quality of meat that they serve, but can't even provide the experience to match. Don't even get me started on the bathrooms. Run. In my Randy Jackson voice, it's a no for me dawg.

My husband and I were so excited to visit the Waygu house and it was amazing. We got the diamond tier option that came with the best Waygu beef I've ever tried. I loved the yellow tail sushi and lobster roll. The curry and rice was flavorful! Our server, Rebecca was so knowledgeable and accommodating. And lastly the stunning Atlanta sky line views are unmatched!!! I could go on and on! My husband wants to make this his permanent Father's Day gift every year!

First things first, make your reservation early. Spots fill up fast, and I can see why, the ambiance is absolutely the main attraction here. Located on the 13th floor overlooking the Atlanta skyline, The Wagyu House delivers a very sexy, moody vibe. When you walk in, you're greeted with red lighting and a sleek atmosphere that instantly feels upscale. No matter where you're seated, there's a strong chance you'll get an amazing view, which makes this place perfect for photos and a night out with friends. They do give a 15-minute grace period if you're running late, which is a plus. Now, let's talk about the food, because this is where things fall flat. I know this might be unpopular, but the food was average at best. If we're talking Korean BBQ, Iron Age still holds the crown in both flavor and value. The Wagyu House definitely wins on ambiance, but the meat itself was not particularly delicious, and the sides were honestly not appetizing. It's also important to note that this restaurant has price tiering. On weekends, depending on the tier you select, prices start at $78 and up per person, while during the weekdays, prices start at $58 and up per person. With that pricing, expectations are naturally higher. The best side I had all night was the fried calamari. Everything else, from kimchi to seaweed salad, rice, and fried rice, came from a buffet-style setup and was cold by the time it reached the table. There was also confusion about service, at first, we had to get up and grab our own sides, then later the server brought food out. It wasn't very clear how the system worked. The meat selections did come out in a timely manner, but servers would stack cooked and uncooked meat plates without regularly clearing the table, which added to the lack of attentiveness. Overall, the staff was nice, but for $78 flat per person, I expected much better service. A lot of the experience felt self serve unless we specifically asked for something. Bottom line: If you're looking for great drinks, a fun vibe, skyline views, and Instagram worthy photos, this is your place. Dress cute, you'll want to. I wouldn't call this fine dining, but it's definitely somewhere you'd pull out a nice outfit for. Ladies, be careful with heels. The floors are slippery, and if you're carrying buffet plates, heading to the restroom, or stepping outside to the rooftop, it's easy to slip. But if you're going strictly for good Korean BBQ, I'd say skip this spot. It's overhyped, overpriced, and the food doesn't match the cost. Iron Age is still where it's at. Sorry, Wagyu House, I really tried. But average food and average service at a premium price just doesn't cut it.

Food and service was speedy. Staff were so welcoming and helpful while ordering. They explained how the process works and recommended us a couple of popular items. We had a big group of 10 so I'm sure this was a lot to deal with but they handled it perfectly from start to finish. Meat quality and fat to meat ratio was perfect. Nothing overpowered the other and paired nicely with side dishes. They also offer more beverages that are not the traditional fountain drinks. Nice seafood selection as well.

Ask the Community - Wagyu House

I'm celebrating my birthday this Saturday and hoping to get a ready for 2 indoors to celebrate?

Yes my party was a party of two and i booked a couple days before but not much time was available online. I think only one time slot was open, Saturday seemed very busy.

Are there sides to go with the meat?

Yes. They have a "sides" area you can help yourself to.

Do they have seating for 1?

Yes. There is bar seating there for a seat for one!

Do they have their authentic Wagyu certifications displayed like the Chubby Cattle?

Yes, I think both restaurants are owned by the same group.

Is it reservation only?

For now yes. It is only a soft opening. I believe the grand opening is in about 2 weeks.

Before we even ordered he let us try a few different things and every single thing he handed us was delicious. By the time I actually ordered I would've trusted this man with my finances. Absolutely no reason food this good should be coming out of a little building attached to a convenience store, but I guess that's usually how you know you're in the right place.

Normally, I'm driving 20-30 minutes or more trying to find decent ribs and brisket, and half the time I end up disappointed. Owens & Co. absolutely knocked it out of the park.

This is a real restaurant--with great service, great atmosphere, and, most importantly, GREAT food. We showed up around 12:50 on a Saturday afternoon, and I had my favorite lunch partner with me--my wifey--which made discovering this place even better. It wasn't very crowded yet, but the smell when we walked in was hypnotic. Smoked meats, BBQ, and all those incredible sides hitting you at once. The space itself is really nice, too, with huge windows and a great view. Then, while we were eating, the crowd started building both at the attached brewery and inside the restaurant. Before long, the whole place was buzzing with energy. I can't say enough about the team at Owens & Co. I don't remember everyone's names yet, but I plan on learning them because WE WILL be back. Great BBQ, great people, a great atmosphere, and a great Saturday lunch with my wifey. What more can you ask for? If you're anywhere nearby and you love real BBQ, check these folks out.

Since I'd already eaten and was only planning to taste, and my husband wasn't super hungry either, we decided to pop in for that. There were only a couple of other small groups of people in the front dining space, so it was nice and quiet and there was plenty of available seating. My husband placed an order for the nachos with chicken and kale caesar salad. The food came out pretty quickly. The chicken on the nachos felt a little dry, but it was decent and the serving was actually bigger than we'd anticipated for a happy hour special. We enjoyed the kale caesar more. The pepitas and guacamole were a nice touch. The only thing I have to mention is that the guy taking our order at the bar literally never said a word to us besides the price when it was time to pay. All we got was a head nod or an "mhmm" whenever we asked a question. When we were leaving, he was chilling behind the bar and didn't acknowledge us even though there were people who'd been there before us who we'd heard him speaking to, and when they left they got a, "Thanks guys.

My first visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ was long overdue, and I honestly left wondering why it took me…read moreso long to make it there. What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The fried rice itself was packed with flavor and had such a unique, smoky taste that perfectly complemented the barbecue. It is not often that a side dish completely steals the show, but this one certainly did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food arrived promptly, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It is always exciting to discover a restaurant that delivers something a little different, and Sweet Auburn BBQ does exactly that by blending flavors and cuisines in a way that feels both creative and comforting. I left full, impressed, and honestly a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to visit. This definitely will not be my last trip, and I already know the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket will be ordered again.

The standouts for me were the mac and cheese, baby back ribs, and brisket. I also ordered the fried rice, and it honestly tasted just like hibachi-style fried rice, so good! The only item that fell a little flat for me was the wings. That said, both my sister and my spouse really enjoyed them, so it may have just come down to personal preference. The service was a little slow, and it took a while before we were able to place our orders, but our server was pleasant and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and everyone in our group left full with enough leftovers for the next day. I'd definitely come back!

Review #1,140 Posted on 10.30.26…read more We came here for dinner our 1st night, Friday October 23rd while in Atlanta for the weekend to watch the Niners play the Falcons. I had read really good things about Fox Bros online, and thought this was the BBQ spot most worthy of a try when in town to visit. I got the "The Everything Plate" which is basically a meat sampler with 2 sides for my meal. It had pork ribs, brisket, sausage, & I believe smoked chicken if I'm remembering correctly. I got mac n cheese and beans as my 2 sides. My meal was excellent, I thought all 4 meats were extremely tender, flavorful, and decent size portion. I would say my favorite of the 4 on this visit was the pork spare ribs. The mac n cheese and beans were high quality too. Mac n cheese had great density and great taste. One other thing about Fox Bros that I think is smart of them, is they've got plenty of other options of food and drinks to order, it's not just a BBQ joint with bottled or draft beers. They've got plenty of apps, salads, sandwiches, and a full bar. I had a great meal here and would recommend to anyone to try.

The wait time is always much more than the promised time. If you are enjoying your day at The…read moreWorks- do not order food from here. They promise 15-20 minutes and it's usually over an hour and it's even an issue to get a refund. This is the second time this has happened. Never believe their promised time and the attitude is nonchalant and nasty when asked about it. Both times, the manager had to go in the kitchen and get my food after I spoke with them. Moving forward, I won't order from them again but the food is good.
