C. R. "Chris" B.'s Profile

Went here for lunch with some friends from work, initially wasn't thrilled by the menu when I was told we would be driving to Buford highway from Vinings for what looked to be regular sandwiches I questioned their logic. Then they told me about these magical hamburger sandwiches a Bulgogi and a Bibimbop burger. Sold.

We arrived around 12:30 and the place was empty, good sign or bad? Who can tell by that anymore the last 2 places I rated 4 stars were completely empty. Ity certainly couldn't have been the host who was extremely friendly or the decor, the restaurant was decorated like a well designed lobby, cafe atmosphere not so much but quaint. They had an array of freshly baked goods and the pies looked excellent.

Not knowing if I was going to be back anytime soon and not knowing portion sizes I ordered one of each like another in our party. Let me tell you one is enough. The prices for the burgers are a hell of a deal for the quality and size. They were both excellent, the Bulgogi could have used a bit more sauce for my liking, but was good nonetheless, the buns were some of the best I've had but that may be my low carb taste buds longing for wheat products. The bibimbop was really good as well you won't go wrong with either.

Don't be put off by the location.

Located in a strip mall that seems to have lost it's anchor, a Kroger, to a larger location down the street we walked in to a completely empty restaurant at 12:15pm.  generally not a good sign. However the hostess was extremely friendly the decor was clean, open and inviting.  Everything we ordered spring rolls, basil rolls, spicy basil beef and Panang curry was fresh, had a great presentation and was very well prepared with the vegetables having a nice crunch. 5 Star spice was just enough to add heat but no overcome the flavors.

I rated it 3 stars just to be conservative but will adjust after repeated visits.

The food arrives quick, the gyros are enormous and the frie ar good although I'm not a fan of the breaded style of fry. Don't order an appetizer, your food will arrive quickly. Meaning you'll have dinner 2 minutes after they arrive.

I do have a question, the one appetizer I did try was the hummus. It's pretty good. They serve almost 1 3/4 cups of hummus with 8 slivers of pita. Which begs me to ask what ratio of hummus to bread are they expecting me to eat. This has been consistent over a number of times.

I had brunch there Sunday and ordered the Savannah eggs.  The hollandaise with the crawfish tasted like a lobster Newburgh. Which isn't a bad thing but unexpected. The dish arrived quickly but was cold in the center and as a hole he entire bit was tasteless and the lobster Newburgh disappeared. It came with a side of what I assume by its taste was an Eckrich smoked sausage arranged artfully cut in half length wise and arranged like an ( )! Classy.

Meh! Burger is more like it.

Yes there were lines, but that's not a factor in this review, yes their was bad service, a nice bar back asked us if we wanted drinks while waiting in line. All I wanted, nay needed, was some water and lemon. It never showed up. Was asked later if I needed anything, a cup of ice was requested but it never showed up. I finally had to buy another drink in order to get a cup of ice for my warm vitamin water. Meh!

So I paid my $20 ticket to ride this rodeo - 1 bison burger on whole wheat bun with pimento cheese, I've had pimento cheese on the brain lately, grilled vidalia onions and cucumbers. Whatever, I was trying something new. A side of slaw and chili.

The burger was tiny, actually it was a slider. There is no way that was a 1/3lb. burger. It rivaled a Krystal in size probably larger but not by much. The cook waved some pimento cheese and onions by the burger and the 3 slices of cucumber were each the size of a quarter. WTF?! a $9 slider that was dry and had zero of the condiments I ordered. Or near as much. At least the bison tasted faintly of the critters for all 3 bites. What a ripoff.

The slaw was fresh but was overly mayo'd and that's it, nothing else in the slaw. Mayo and organic greens. If you like that, well there you go.

The chili was much better it actually had a flavor and kick. It did come with cheese and sour cream. I was pleasantly surprised by the chili, not enough to make want to plan a return visit.

Expensive burgers, small space for seating. GREAT BACON, nice and smoky. I like the option to build it yourself at the topping bar. I've had Five Guys, might as well mention them since they are a close comparison. Very similar burger. Fries may be better at 5G.

I've been driving by this place occasionally on the way home from work but was slightly dissuaded by the sketchy location by now I should know better that those types of places usually have the best food ( as well as the worst).

My brother and I swung by here saturday afternoon on the way to the hardware store for a quick lunch. The people are friendly, it's a small but very clean and cozy store. They even have a bar to eat at (no alcohol).

They have the standard hotdog, slawdog, chilidog, chilslawdogs etc. Fountain drinks, fries but they also have their own custom dogs such as the Sudogku with fresh house made slaw which has a slight sweet side, hoisin ginger and lime.  I also had the De La Casa which is a bacon wrapped dog with guacamole, cheese, sour cream, pico and jalapeno.

You can also get a bespoke dog with any of their ingredients. I am definitely gonna be back to try that and get a chicago dog or 2, my personal favorite.

Definitely recommended for a quick bite.

I love the MPC. The pizza has always been fresh and hot with ample toppings. Wings are always hot and juicy, I honestly haven't had a bad order.

I've only eaten in the restaurant once everything else has been deliverd which has been timely. It got so repetitive that the MPC phone answere dude and I would have the same conversation every time, same questions. same answers.

My favorite things on the menu are the wings with Inferno sauce. No this is some hot, hot stuff but oh so flavorful, I always order extra to have some for a week or two. I love it. The Blue salad with blue cheese,  yum! or the greek with esperanza.

We usually end up ordering The Works which is a great pizza but the white is really good as well.

I definitely recommend ordering or eating in. It's nice, casual and friendly everytime I drive by during the summer (5-6pm) the sidewalk is full of people.

I've driven by here numerous times. You know BBQ is gonna be done right when the smoker is billowing porky goodness street side.

I had the pulled pork sandwich, potato salad, cole slaw and brunswick stew. I probably wouldn't get the stew as an additional side, at $1.99 for what amounts to a couple spoons isn't a good value but it was tasty and sweet. I liked the potato salad and coleslaw, I like my slaw a little drier and with a taste of horseradish but this was good, not overly mayo'd and not that vinegar only abomination either. I really liked the potato salad as it had a subtle spice that I couldn't put my finger on, almost like cinnamon.

The pulled pork was right on the money, there were some rarer bits in the sandwich and it tasted like it could have used more smoke.  But a good sandwich. The sauce, served at the table was nothing to right home about.

I will definitely be back to try some ribs and brisket!

Based in a non de-script strip mall strewn with former and current latin based business that are casualties to the area and wedged next to a car dealership the entrance and surroundings almost beg you to carry on somewhere else. However if you stick it out the food is quick, great and reasonably priced.

If you're a fan of getting the stink eye by the waiters at Swapna then you'll be disappointed. The customer service was quick and friendly. Our  glasses and naan were replenished quickly.

The buffet isn't that grandiose but it's good. Mahkani chicken, mutton khorma, Lahori Chicken, the lentil curries, tandoori chicken, chutneys and vegetables were all fresh and hot. The shish kabo was really flavorful.

I'll definitely be back, I particularly like Indian as a buffet since I like so many different things it's hard to choose one thing. Next time I'll try the advice of the other yelpers and ask for some Tikka Masala.
