We had only a few minutes to reach our next gate and found that Fresh To Order is the best option for a fast takeaway lunch at Atlanta airport, after watching that most of the clients were airline pilots and stewards. Fast service when you are in a hurry, for food prepared to order.Thanks for the review JohnInItaly! Great observation on the noticing where the pilot and stewardess tend to eat! Hope you try us again when you are traveling or in the Atlanta area!

My husband and children and I went to MURPHY'S today after being turned away from BQE for brunch because it wasn't kid friendly, although the website says no kids after 8 PM. My sis in law had reservations for her bday at BQE . So we headed to MURPHY'S without our sis in law/party and was NOT disappointed. They quickly sat us and the drinks and food began flowing. Midway thru our meal, my sis in law called from BQE and asked if she and her party can join us!! Murphys staff quickly changed our seating and made sure her party was with us. Our waiter SEAN was friendly, efficient, and accommodating. Sean rocked it and my sissy's bday brunch was saved!! GOOD JOB MURPHY'S. Can't wait to come back...

I recently met a colleague at this establishment for a business lunch. Although it was crowded we were seated quickly and the service was excellent throughout the meal. My colleague had a lovely cheeseburger and it looked great. Actually he shared a bite with me and it was good. I had the gazpacho and it was a bit underseasoned but good. Could have used a bit more spice or jalapeno peppers for my taste. I had the grilled chicken salad and it was filling and delicious. Also snagged a couple of the French fries from my friend's plate. The portion was very generous. Overall a lovely dining experience and excellent service. The owner's wife came by and checked on us a couple of times and her personal touch added to the excellent dining experience. Try it but be prepared to wait. It is usually crowded at peak times. On another point, parking there is terrible. If the main surface lot is full, try the garage/deck across the street at City Springs. Free parking for the first two hours and very convenient with plenty of spaces usually available.

Based on the reviews, I expected more. Food was hit-and-miss. The shrimp and grits was good but not great and the fried chicken was below average, lacking the crispiness one expects. I think the lure of this âkitchen & barâ is with the upstairs bar. With some wine by the glass and tip expect to pay about $45/pp.Hello,Thank you for your feedback from your most recent visit. We consistently strive to provide amazing food, service, and ambiance but it would seem that we dropped the ball on this visit.I would love to have another opportunity to show you what a true JCT experience is all about. Please feel free to reach out to me directly using my email and I will personally set you up with a reservation so we can meet face to face.You may reach me at [email protected] you again,Eric Porter

I'm staying at the Sheraton for work. I was trying various restaurants around Atlanta until I ate at Fandangles and found the customer service to be exceptional and the food to be consistently high as well. Cree and her teammates provided exceptional customer service and the quality of the food has been consistently high the 5 times I've eaten in the restaurant. I've seen management checking in with staff and customers periodically to ensure a positive customer experience. Now in the evenings, I head downstairs, dine well and conveniently, and can relax and prepare for the next day. Many thanks to Cree, her manager, and the staff for making my stay so comfortable.

Reviewed By Lew S
Bacchanalia has been around a long, long time in Atlanta and has gone from best to fair and now back to best. Its new minimalist space incorporating a marketplace seems perfect for their brand of quality and quality is what you get. The four part menu is intriguing in that its not a 7 or 8 course pig out, but manages well to make one feel well fed without feeling "stuffed". The menu is arranged as starters a second course (entrée) a cheese course and a desert. The chocolate soufflé at desert looked fabulous but I was disappointed that the baked Alaska was served sans flambe! Everything was just perfect, the seared duck was done just right and the duck breast looked as if it were from the turkey family it was so large, but done just right and really tasty. The cheeses were a great combination of different types and although a bit rich after the duck, was a good transition from the entrée to the desert. They had a nice selection of wines to pair with each meal, so much more sensible than ordering a bottle to go with everyone's different tastes. A lovely experience

The atmosphere was lovely, very romantic and beautiful with great evening views of the city. Service was exceptional. However, the food was not 5 star as expected. We had 9 courses between the two of us and half of then weren't good at all. Some were okay and the scallops were fabulous. I've been to many more fine dining restaurants than I've reviewed and I know good food.Please have some professionals evaluate your menu and readjust some of the ingredients and cooking techniques.Thank you very much for your critique. I will pass this on to our Chef and have a discussion. Cheers,
