    bourbon roasted salmon
    Danielle J.

    We were in town for the World Cup and booked a reservation at Whiskey Bird for Thursday night at 6:30. We took an uber but there was a parking lot across the street and plenty of street parking. What a fun place! We had the following dishes: Ahi tuna gyoza tacos - my favorite dish of the night Crispy brussels Thai steak & noodle salad Bourbon roasted salmon Everything was delicious! We shared all the dishes. My daughter had the buttered noodles off the kids menu. Plenty of options on the kids menu! Service was friendly and our server helped us choose options. There are great cocktail options. We had an aviation and midnight margarita. The vibe and ambiance are perfect for a fun GNO or date night. I appreciated the robust kids menu so we could go out as a family and I would be able to have a great meal at a local spot!

    10% military discount! I came here after my Pilates workout. I was gonna work from here but there is no Wi-Fi. It definitely would be better with Wi-Fi because I love the space, I could work form here. The chicken tacos were just the right amount for lunch. I also grabbed the tuna toast, it was good it just needed a little bit more razzle-dazzle for me. The gimlet drink made with vodka or gin was refreshing! But not on the menu but still you can request it. A hibiscus limeade was also good. Jamie as the bartender and she was a sweetheart. I will be back. Thank you guys.

    Out of towner, so take my review as is. Seating in a Thursday at 5:45 was no effort. I made a reservation for 5 which was not needed. The staff are awesome. Service was excellent but the place stayed about 50% full the time we were there. I like the ambiance. It's open, modern, seats can be a bit tight. I opened for a happy hour bourbon based drink which was a tall, iced and light on the bourbon (4/5). I then ordered the bourbon salmon on rice for the main course. It was decent (4/5). The dish was swimming in a sweet teriyaki. It seems kinda strange to scoop up rice and salmon, then drain out extra sauce. Dinner mates had the burger and I was a bit envious. They seemed to really like it. Would I return? Well... they are lots of places to try in Atlanta, but I'll keep it in my list of possibilities.

    I had been hearing about this place for so long and was so excited to try it. The ambiance inside is very cute - honestly would be a great date spot as it's not too loud and the tables are spread nicely. The food itself was superb. We started with yakitori skewers - I'm vegetarian so I had the sweet potato, tofu, and mushroom. Oh my god the mushroom ones are something I dream about! So delicious. I absolutely loved the other two as well, but the mushroom was really the standout here (which is saying a lot coming from me because I rarely prefer mushrooms). For my main I had the coconut lime tofu. This was tasty and well made. I do wish this tofu had a little more marinade/seasoning to it as it was just a fried tofu atop the curry, but the tofu was really well made, and the curry itself was flavorful and surprisingly light. I didn't try any cocktails this time, but I'm itching to come back to do so! Love this spot and would absolutely recommend :)

    Whiskey bird is always delicious!! The food is so unique- you can't get food like this anywhere else in the city! It's in such a great part of Morningside/Virginia Highland making it the perfect addition to your visit to the area. They have a great brunch, dinner and even just a great spot for drinks. The patio outside is also super cute once the weather is nice! Theres multiple free parking lots around and street parking.

    Avocado Toast
    Lou E.

    Amazing. Had our first dining experience on a Sunday Brunch and it was fantastic. There were seven of us in our party and it was a hit with all. Most ordered something different. We had the Avocado Toast and the Hong Kong Fried Chicken and Waffle. A couple of our friends hand the Bao Benedict. The Bubble Waffle was a first for us. It was beautiful and the best waffle we ever tasted. The fried chicken was very good also (wish it didn't have a garlic taste). Although we would get it again. The Avocado Toast was the best looking dish on the table. The grilled toast was topped with smashed avocados and then topped with radishes and an everything bagel seasoning. Tasty. The Bao Benedict looked amazing. And got great compliments. Service was outstanding. Prices were reasonable. Whiskey Bird took our reservation for eleven...thank goodness. Highly recommend and will definitely return

    Happy Hour
    Marian D.

    There happy hour is nice. Everything was super yummy, drinks included. This was a good stop for the happy hour but it wasn't as lively as I've heard it to be. We wanted to stop by to be social but it was a fairly mild crowd. Puppies are allowed on the patio and the staff really make your doggie feel welcomed.

    Came here for happy hour with coworkers and I thoroughly enjoyed! All prices were reasonable and the drinks were very tasty. All of the food was delicious. Great service and we sat on the outdoor patio in the back. It was perfect on the day we went because the weather was nice.

    Decided to catch happy hour with friends after work and I'm so glad my friend selected this place! The quality of service was good and the quality of food and drink drinks were even better! This is the perfect spot for anything: a date night, girls night, or happy hour with some friends or coworkers after work. Though it gives more of a mature vibe, I did see families there, and I do believe that there are items on the menu in which kids will also enjoy. The happy hour does end at 6 PM so be sure you catch it before then, honestly the prices are well worth it! I believe they have a great selection of good quality food and drinks on the menu. I would even go back to this place outside of happy hour because I definitely want to try more items on the menu. As far as parking, there is a lot across the street that provides free parking. I was able to park there at ease and it was in such close proximity of the restaurant. Looking forward to going back to this place with more friends!

    Came here when we stayed downtown for a night. The inside was way more casual than I expected. We kind of came towards the end of the night, but we still had enough time to order from the kitchen. The mixed drinks I had were so so. I wasn't overly impressed with them, but let me tell you how much I loved their yakitori skewers. They were AMAZING AMAZING.! Full of flavor and cooked just right. We tried chicken meatballs, sweet potato, chicken, tofu... They were all good. I wish more places had this type of menu option. They are so healthy, and it's nice to be able to try a bunch of variety without feeling crazy stuffed. Overall, I really like their menu, they have a nice variety with some interesting dishes like Japanese street fries. Tuna goyza tacos, spiced cauliflower, sweet potato burger. I got there tuna Poké bowl, which was decent, but definitely did not match up to the skewers. Service was OK, maybe because we were there towards the end of the night and they are trying to get ready to close up shop. I heard they have a really great branch and I'd love to try it sometime. Again, if you come here, please get the skewers. They reminded me of a place we went to in LA. Really on point. This in itself was enough to bring me back!

    The service was great from the time you walked in! Greeted at the door, sat promptly after arriving early, and Wisdom was a great waiter. She offered advice on the menu, made suggestions, and was extremely pleasant. The food was good for brunch as well with the smash burger and BLT. I would say the potatoes with the burger were on the saltier side and a little disappointed they didnt have yellow mustard. Outside of that go check them out and ask for Wisdom!

    I first went to this place after hearing about this through my social media. The ambiance inside is very modern and sleek. It was not too crowded and not too loud either. I first came here during happy hour and got to try a selection of different foods. I loved the Asian fusion concept and it was fun to see their spin on foods. I got the queso + wonton chips, peruvian chicken gyoza tacos, crispy rice, a drink (I forgot which one), and the Korean BBQ tofu. It is moderately priced. Service was good and food didn't take too long to come out. I came back recently for a friend's birthday and had such an excellent server! We got the okonomiyaki fries to share and I got the thai steak and noodle salad. We sat outside which was great since one of my friends could bring her dog. They also allowed us to bring a cake. We actually stayed a bit beyond closing hour but they were very gracious and didn't feel like they were trying to kick us out. Overall, would recommend this place to try if visiting Atlanta !

    Cute fusion restaurant (perfect for a chill date night)! We got seated right away on a Friday night and service was extremely quick. The food feels modern and American, while I honestly prefer a more authentic style. We ordered the thai steak and noodle salad and poke bowl. The steak (medium rare) was perfectly cooked, but wish there was more for a perfect steak to noodle salad ratio. Next time, I hope to try the sides

    I came here a Friday afternoon and traffic busy but parking was not hard to find. I parked on the…read moreresidential street and walked one block to the venue. I know there is parking for the shops and restaurants that were closer but I took the first spot I saw. I did like that the restrooms were gender neutral. Both were single stall so it makes it easier to pull off but I know this means a great deal to many people. The inside of the bar has soft lighting and simple decor. The bar upfront is a nice touch. The tables on the inside are ideal for dates but can easily be put together for larger parties. The outdoor patio is a sight to behold. The outdoor patio can be enclosed in plastic for bad weather. The patio has plenty of plants. The outdoor patio seems to be set up for larger parties. This makes sense since large parties can be pretty loud and having them outside will not bother the inside guests. My server was Gem and she is a blast. She recommended the Coconut Chicken Soup and the Drunken Man Shrimp Noodles. The soup is extremely creamy but it is non-dairy. A cheat code for the lactose intolerant. The soup is full of flavor and I could eat it every day. The Drunken Man Noodles has some what of a kick but not too spicy. I wish it was spicier. The shrimp still has the tail on. Food is good.

I walked-in for a lunch at ~1:30pm. The restaurant was nearly empty at that time. I ordered the Mor-Din and a side of white rice, asking for less meat and more veg. Mor-Din translates to "clay pot" so--as expected--the dish came with a big clay pot. There were shrimp, thinly sliced pork belly, glass noodles, mushroom mix, celery and lettuce. The glass noodles were gelatinous. The mushroom+celery mix went surprisingly well with the shrimp. The lettuce added some freshness to the dish. Overall interesting, delicious, peppery and full of umami. Service was quick clearly because there were only a few customers. Decor of the restaurant was exotic. Check the photos of attractions in Thailand. Note: the restaurant only accepts cash and credit/debit cards.

The bartender and service were also great, so no complaints there. The problem was the main reason you come to a place like this: the noodles. My lo mein came out cold, completely lacking flavor, and the texture was mushy. Even when it came back hot, it still tasted like nothing, which is disappointing when noodles are supposed to be the star. On top of that, paying $16.99 for basic garlic vegetables feels unreasonable, especially when the food quality didn't match the price. Overall, service was solid, a couple dishes were good, but the food that should define the restaurant fell flat. With the price point being what it is, I'm not sure I'd rush back.

    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.

    We visited Sweet Auburn on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 10. Parking was a little confusing…read moresince it's in a parking deck shared with an apartment building, but the restaurant will validate parking for up to two hours, which was a nice perk. A few of us shared the BBQ Omakase, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and the amount of food. The appetizers were a great start, the brisket egg rolls were crispy, packed with meat, and easily an 8.5/10. I also really enjoyed the pimento wontons. 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!
