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

Fried shrimp
Terrell S.

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.

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!

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.

The Cajun Pasta Bundle
Journee R.

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!

YoChef Tibs entree.

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...
Maddie N.

I hate to do this but I need to say... why is there only 4 pcs of shrimp in the whole pasta dish?

The small parking lot was full and lucked out with a spot on the street. I opted to order at the bar so I could enjoy a beer and where it is full service - otherwise it is ordering at the register when you walk in. Service at the bar was friendly, efficient and attentive. I ended up with a double beef burger (each patty is 1/4 pound) at $9, pimento cheese (.75 cents) and Grindhouse Sauce which was in the 1000 island / Mac sauce territory. I was undecided on a side so lucky for me there is a "Frings" option of 1/2 onion rings and fries ($5.75). The burger was a little on the dry side even with the toppings but the potato roll made it a little more interesting. The onion rings were great and can't go wrong with crinkle cut fries. Cold Tropicalia on draft ($8) served by friendly bar staff made it a really great experience. Even though this is not my favorite burger, the sides, the drink options and the overall vibe of the place with excellent service still will make this a place I could visit again. Maybe giving a different burger a try instead of a BYO like I did the first time out.

I loved the caramelized jalepeno slices since they added it beautiful hint of spicy sweetness to the dish. The bread has a nice chew and it does not get soggy fast. - CONS: Not that special. I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good.

The "sauce bar" is essentially just a ketchup dispenser, and the bar won't allow you to run a tab--even when you offer to leave a credit card. Unfortunately, the burger I ordered was cooked well beyond well-done, which was a major disappointment. On top of that, nearly everyone working seemed to be counting down the seconds until they could leave. Honestly, I couldn't blame them; the overall atmosphere made it seem like the staff wasn't enjoying their work environment. One positive: the fries were hot, fresh, and actually very good. I really hope management takes a serious look at this location. Improving the work environment for employees and having stronger management and oversight could make a huge difference in the customer experience. Otherwise, I'm afraid this location will continue to sit half-empty, as it was during my visit today.

I didn't feel like drinking before walking in but the service once I sat down at the bar made it hard not to partake... twas excellent! They had hella specials on a Sunday evening, many of which I can't remember currently but were expertly recited by our main bartender. Now I DO remember that their well drinks were on special for $6 because that's the deal that I thoroughly enjoyed for my 2-ish hour stay ;) The ambience is very grown (21+ thank GOD) but also quirky af! I didn't notice the giant lucky pen*s for a minute even though I was seated directly in front of it at the bar LOL. They host a shot challenge at its base that requires "no hands" and they really go out of the way to get everyone involved when folks are proving their.... skills. It's fun to watch but also nerve-wracking! The environment is lively (but not loud) and dive-y and the playlist was SOOO good with great song diversity, from My Chemical Romance to T-Pain to the Isley Brothers. It was the perfect nightcap. Now the food that we ordered this night was not overwhelmingly good but certainly not bad. To be fair, this spot is known for their burgers and neither of my party got one this time around. But the half salad I got was GIANT, so big that I had to double check with the food runner that it was indeed a half. Filled me right up for the low-low. The husband wanted to opt for something lighter too and got their Cuban sandwich with plantain... nowhere near authentic, but good enough for the moment. He's a certified Caribbean and thought the plantain was actually not bad, so there's that. The prices are reasonable. What takes this place up a notch is the clear organization to their operations, the way the team works and communicates together to strive for efficiency in service, and the neighborhood familiarity that this Atlanta institution emanates. I previously only when to the Vortex in L5P which has now shuttered I believe. It was a completely different vibe. But I have a feeling this spot is immovable. It is truly a neighborhood gem to meet up and have strong, affordable drinks and bomb ass burgers... next time I'll be sure to dabble in the latter. Sidenote: bathrooms were pretty decent and clean for a busy bar environment... I was surprised!

The mixed drinks looked amazing although they didn't have bloody Mary's on a Sunday g brunch afternoon for some reason but I just ordered a Guinness to go with my food anyway it's a beautiful restaurant just like the old location and the service was impeccable.

Holeman and Finch is known for its burger, and deservedly so, but I can't stress enough how good the other food and drink are here. Looking at the current list of Atlanta restaurants in the Michelin Guide, I think Holeman and Finch deserves to be included. I wonder why they got snubbed. Holeman and Finch relocated to Colony Square in Midtown in February 2023. The restaurant validates parking in the Colony Square garage for two hours. We stayed just over two hours and ended up paying $6. I like to enter and exit the garage via Peachtree St NE. There's also an entrance/exit on 14th St NE, next to The Starling hotel. We used to go to the original location in Brookwood/South Buckhead circa 2010 when only 24 burgers were made per night and released at 10pm. Holeman and Finch existed in that location from 2008 to 2020. It was quite the Yelp hot spot: https://www.yelp.com/biz/holeman-and-finch-atlanta-2 This new location at Colony Square is way more spacious and looks great. There's indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered) seating. The atmosphere is that of a modern, upscale pub. It's nice. Reservations can be booked on OpenTable, so get those dining points. Our server said the brunch menu was served until 4pm. Here's what my wife and I had: Drinks: * H&F Bloody Mary ($14) * Iced Tea - half sweet, half unsweet ($5) Graze: * Naturally Served Oysters ($5 each) - cocktail sauce, mignonette, buttered saltines, horseradish - Lowcountry Cups - Charleston, SC - Dukes of Topsail - Topsail Sound, NC - Dixon Point - New Brunswick, Canada * Deviled Egg Trio ($9) - classic, country ham, and Pickapeppa mayo * Hand Chopped Sirloin Steak Tartare ($20) - capers, horseradish, egg yolk, chips * Simple Lettuces ($15) - citrus vinaigrette, crisp shallots, fromage blanc, pecans Sandwiches: * H+F Cheeseburger ($28) - certified Angus and Hereford beef, onions, Kraft, fries Plates: * Housemade Scottish Gravlax ($18) - toasted brioche, fried Pantelleria capers, lemon dill clabber * Holeman + Finch Vegetable Plate ($32) - "all that is best from our Southern farms" Dessert: * Sticky Toffee Pudding ($14) - vanilla ice cream Everything, down to the sweet tea, was fantastic. The Bloody Mary was strong and so delicious that I gulped it down. All of the dishes were beautifully plated and finished. The oysters were fresh, superb quality, and cleanly shucked. They forgot the crackers, but that's okay. I highly recommend the deviled eggs. They were perhaps the best we've ever had anywhere. If you're unfamiliar with Pickapeppa, it's a sweet and savory Jamaican brown sauce that is used to make the mayo for this dish. There was nothing "simple" about the Simple Lettuces salad. It was pretty much a perfect, tasty, and refreshing salad. As for the H+F Cheeseburger, it's a classic and continues to be one of the best burgers around. Every bite is just so good, and the ketchup and mustard remain distinct. If you've never had the burger before, get it here or at H&F Burger at Ponce City Market. The Truist Park version isn't the same and I've never tried the Mercedes-Benz Stadium version (the old Turner Field version was legit, though). If you like gravlax, wow - the gravlax here is amazing and really well made. The Vegetable Plate was terrific as well. It featured potatoes, okra, beans, succotash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and more with a fried onion ring on top. It's a great dish to share. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was top-notch - exceptional texture and flavor, and perfectly paired with a scoop of dense vanilla ice cream. Our server was Jonathan R. He was friendly and took great care of us. A manager checked on us too.
