    Their burger was good. Cajun fries was okay but pretty expensive. $5 for a small side of Cajun fries. Food took a while but hopefully that means it's fresh. Food itself gets 4 star but price and wait time gets 3 star. Located in a plaza so easy parking. Open late which is nice too

    YoChef Pasta with shrimp and salmon. Also selected the spicy option and it was great!

    Food was great especially compared to other late night options! Quick and easy service

    Heard good things about this place but i guess i went on a bad night. The good: part of my meal was the sweet and spicy chicken wrap. The flavors popped and had just the right amount of sauce on it. The bad: ordered a side of fried shrimp and the mac and cheese bites. The fried shrimp was 6 little pieces of shrimp dipped in oil and over cooked. Seemed like they forgot to dip them in flour/fish fry or anything to give them a fried shrimp texture or look. They just came out like sauté shrimp. And the mac and cheese bites was fried great but it seemed like they used easy mac to make it which made them dry and flavorless. Lastly the fries was soggy and over seasoned. The only thing i would recommend on the menu is wrap.

    I came here on a late Saturday night around 1:30 am and there was already a small crowd gathering up. Even with the cornavirus crisis, there was still a small crowd to get their food to go. I ordered the famous Yochefs Burger. It was $12 but definitely worth it. It was very thick and juicy. I loved the special sauce and onions inside of it. It definitely filled me up. It also came with Cajun fries that were just simply amazing. I highly recommend this place your in the Chamblee/Brookhaven/Atlanta area and hungry for some great late night food. I can't wait to come back and try some more different foods.

    Cute bday party setup!

    This place has fabulous food at very reasonable prices, and they will gladly customize anything on the menu. The owner and employees are incredibly nice. We did a 12-person birthday party there and they set it up for us with tablecloths, a banner and balloons! I wasn't sure if they could accommodate us, so I filled out the form on their website and was definitely impressed when the owner called me back within 30 minutes. Everyone had a great time, and the food was not only delicious, the portion sizes were large enough that we all had at least one leftover meal afterwards.

    Fries  were delicious and the Yo sauce was amazing.

    I enjoyed this spot. It's open until 4am on the weekends and beats Waffle House (I get sick of IHOP or Waffle House for late night food). Now this isn't Michelin star food, but for late night food it's superb. You can't go wrong with the wings or the fries here. When you're looking for late night food in Atlanta and the bummy fast-food places won't do, this is your spot!

    If I could eat yo chef everyday I would. The food is beyond amazing. The food is always prepared in a timely manner. The pasta is just to die for, if you need a late night spot definitely pull up and check them out!

    I was very enamored by this place, at first. I thought - Wow! This looks like a great place with a menu that sets it apart from just about all other restaurants. Then reality set in. I came here with two others last week in the early evening. There was only one other person sitting in the restaurant at the time. The woman at the counter was very helpful answering questions about the food, and offered suggestions that were helpful with selecting which items we wanted. After ordering, we sat at one of the picnic tables inside, and caught up with everything that happened since the last time we were together. The first of our food came out after about 20 minutes. The YoChef Wrap (chicken wrap) came first, but it came with cajun fries instead of the sweet potato fries that were ordered. About 5 minutes later, the Sweet & Spicy Pasta (linguine) and a bottle of cold tap water was brought to us. This is when one of my friends let the server know that she didn't get the sweet potato fries as ordered, and was apologized to and told that they will make it right for her with the correct fries. About 5 minutes later, my meal, YoChef Tibs (beef) was brought to me. About 10 minutes later, the sweet potato fries were brought out. I didn't try the chicken wrap, but my two friends shared it and the linguine, and they both said the wrap was good. I shared the tibs and rice meal, and it was okay. The rice was a little on the dry side, and the beef (cut in cubes) was well done. The beef was marinated and had good flavor, but was chewy. I was offered some "really hot" sauce to try on the meat, but it wasn't even hot to me. Although the linguine was shared between my two friends, they didn't even eat half of it. Nor did they want to take it home. I tried it and it was spicy, but just average. This restaurant is in a strip mall, and one of its selling point is that it's open until 4 am. Many businesses share the free parking lot, and parking spaces are always available. I rate this place 3 stars. I feel that most of the food is overpriced, and the service is slow. This restaurant prides itself on making healthy food for people. I can think of a lot of other restaurants that sell healthy quality food that isn't as expensive, and they bring everyone in groups their food at the same time.

    The Cajun with Shrimp- good flavor just lacking protein for a $20 dish...

    They said they stopped accepting orders on yelp. So I got charged with no food. I wish I would have know that before ordering waste of time.

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.

The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.
