I love the pulled pork burger and sauteed spinach side. I used to love their fresh seasonal veggies, but on my most recent trip was VERY disappointed when some carrots came out with what seemed like frozen cauliflower and broccoli.
Overall, who am I to knock them, and they are convenient. Even being right across the street. so many other great option in my hood, I am hard pressed to veer there more then once every few months.

Staff are always very friendly as is the owner. Free refills on coffee and free wifi. Nicer ambiance then a Starbucks and a better value. I intend to come here more often when doing business in Buckhead.

Morton's the Steakhouse
Category: Steakhouses
Neighborhood: Downtown
Our two fillets were cooked perfectly medium rare. The ample sides of Asparagus and Cream Spinach came out as well and we were in business. John the manager stopped by the table and introduced himself. Overall a great experience, plus we escaped for under $100!
The service and quality are on par with the other Mortons I have visited. Morton's is basically tied with Del Friscos for best chain steakhouse.
Only draw back was the sauce which lacked zip. Honestly, sauce tasted like basic tomato sauce out of a can. The quality of the crust and toppings more then makes up for it though. At $2.15 a slice, in Athens no less, I suppose I really cannot complain. I told them my honest thoughts on the sauce and they explained the locals may not be able to handle a sauce with more panache. Ok, blame it on the locals....lol. Overall a good slice!
Date

As for the Friday night, it was a fun a mix of worldly people. Stopped and talked to a mix of Peruvian Doctors, latin band was on stage, place has two bars and beer on draft. A large place like this, I give it credit for being off the beaten path but keeping a steady flow of customers.
The brunch was mdeiocre. Yes, it was only $10, so you really could not expect much, but even some of their staples like their signature potatoes were not up to snuff. Maybe it was just that day?
Came here last night to try their All You Can Eat Tapas and I must say I was impressed. Firstly, most all of the options off of the normal menu were represented. Grouper tacos, shrimp and mussles in mild curry, spinach with pine nuts, grilled ribs, and house salad were all VERY good. The brisket for the sliders and the tacos could have been better. Overall a great place for a Tuesday night, or any weekend night!
