Six Flags Over Georgia
Category: Amusement Parks
Oh. Bring in a can of coke and only pay 29.99 you say? Wow, then that means the price of admission is still a rip off. We have to pay another $25 for parking remember? And then if we want to eat at any point in the day, there goes another $25-30.
Your still too expensive, dirty, and sticky. You also have really crappy unenthusiastic employees. Face it, rides can only get you so far.
Even if you do give us a "discount" because we brought in a coke can......I am demoting you to one star for poor effort second time around. You have been using that cheap coke can trick for years now. Tell your crappy marketing department to think of something new.

**************Amendm ent to my review************** **************
Irony played a cruel joke on me after I wrote this review. There was apparently 6 employees at this Six Flags, along with their accomplices, that jumped some guy, beating him severely, and putting him in the hospital with reports that his condition is serious. Gee, thanks SIx Flags over Georgia, I already have to worry about getting killed at night in the city, now I have to worry about that stuff at a freakin' theme park.
What is it with some people in Atlanta? It takes 10 people to beat up one guy now? He must have been the size of Hulk Hogan, otherwise the whole thing doesn't make too much sense to me. I blame the barbaric "sport" that features athletes with little or no intelligence called UFC.
Long story short.....Save your money, take a trip to Busch Gardens or something.
******************** ******************** ******************** *************'
Who in there right mind could ever give a bad review for Six Flags? Okay, I am sure a few people in the Yelp Kentucky community might have a bone to pick with the popular theme park because of the terrible accident that occurred. But the Six Flags in Atlanta has not had any incidents like that, so I highly recommend that you stop by if you are ever in the area.
My favorite ride at this park has always been and will always be the Georgia Cyclone. The ride is one of the old school classics that was there long before the days of the ninja, the batman ride, or the superman ride. So what if it does not have 30 super loops and twisty turns. No ride at the park has ever seemed to hold a candle to that first hill on the Cyclone that is sure to make everyone scream. Also, there are not too many other rides at Six flags that give juvenile delinquents, similar to my younger self, the opportunity to flip off the camera around the turn where it takes everyone's picture. I'm not condoning this behavior, I am just giving all of you adults who may visit the park a warning that this can and probably will happen, so don't act surprised.
The park obviously mostly caters to families, but young adults frequently come and visit on the weekends from all over the country.
As long as you can avoid an unfortunate incidence like the one in Kentucky, I guarantee you will have a blast.
I did. Maybe it was the tacky neon red lights outside the building.
Apparently they serve Texas style BBQ,but the rest of the items on the menu you can pretty much categorize as Soul Food.
The Fried Ocra and Brunswick stew were so delicious that I wish I would have just ordered large portions of both side items for my entire meal.
Instead, I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was also pretty darn tasty, but nothing to go skipping down the street and singing about.
Like Drew said, the BBQ sauce's main ingredient seems to be black pepper, and there is a lot of it, so if your a little whiny baby who thinks that a large amount of pepper would be too spicy for your poor little tongue, make sure to ask for it on the side.
Overall, the whole experience was great, although I was a little disappointed that the inside of the place looked nothing like the inside of that bar from Roadhouse. The inside of Rib Ranch is a lot smaller, which would have probably limited how well people could move around and dodge punches or jump kicks during the group fight scene that eventually gets broken up by Patrick Swayze.
Elvis got the color wrong in his song, and now the management at this restaurant got it wrong when they selected a title for their place of business.
Even if the moon is occasionally blue, which I am pretty sure it isn't, what would that have to do with pizza? They may both be round in shape, but they both serve different purposes. Pizza satisfies hunger, and the moon.......well I don't really know what purpose the moon serves.
I digress.
Blue Moon was pretty cool overall. I went there on trivia night, so it was really crowded.
The trivia was decent. The actual questions were not very challenging and lacked creativity, except for maybe the last four. The trivia guy was funny though, so that made up for the semi-boring uncreative questions.
Mi lady ordered the ice-cream on top of a baked cookie for desert, which I highly recommend.
I did not try the pizza though, because I got there after everyone ate. But they all said great things about it, so I am going to take there word for it.

Old Towne Café on Main
Category: American (Traditional)
Seriously, I know a lot of you ITP Yelpers have a hard time venturing out into the suburbs of Atlanta, but you have got to give this small little town and restaurant a try next time you are in the area. The town almost reminds me of a smaller version of Savannah, without all of the stupid bars that serve alcoholic milkshakes or whatever you call them.
If you do happen to make it out to Old Towne Cafe, I highly recommend that you order their traditional BLT with fried green tomatoes. My taste buds got down on one knee and proposed to Old Towne's BLT as soon as the two star crossed lovers met. They also serve breakfast all day, and one of the best breakfast items is the French Toast with strawberries.
Oh, and the place has a beautiful dining room and the outside porch area next to the street is perfect to dine at, pending good weather.
The food was, at best, a step down from what you can get at your local Chili's or Applebee's. The inside of the place looked like that southern restaurant 'Folks', except with some cattle skulls on the wall to give it that Alamo vibe I guess. The only people that were dining here were the employees of the restaurant, and a few weird looking locals, who I like to refer to as "Carnies."
But what did I really expect from a city that worships Dolly Parton?
http://www.dollyparton...
I don't mean to go on a rant here, but if you ask me, I think the whole town is one big cheap neon light that tarnishes the beautiful mountains which surround it. The worst part is the main strip in Pigeon Forge, which looks strikingly similar to that main strip of highway in Panama City that everyone used to cruise down during high school spring break. To make matter even worse, all over the strip there are a bunch of crappy stores that sell those stupid shirts that are not even novelty items for tourists,,,,,,,they just say something like "FBI: Free Beer Inspector" or something equally as stupid.
Charlie Mopps used to be a Summits Tavern, and before that I think it was a Taco Mac. Aside from the new fancy name that sounds like some Broadway musical about a janitor, nothing about this place has really changed. Same food, same look, same hole in the wall sports bar/pub.
The waiter did a decent job. He seemed to enjoy writing text messages while he took our beer/food order on several occasions, which revealed how much enthusiasm he had for his job.
The beer menu also has a few zesty new selections to choose from, for those of you interested in unique micro-brews.
So cutting to the chase, the best thing on the menu has to be the 'noche' (sp?) which is essentially pasta shells stuffed with potatoes. Yeah I know, it's two freakin' starches. Mind ya business.
The inside dining area is small. How small you say? Small enough for you to be able to reach over to the table in the middle of the restaurant and snag that delicious dinner roll they have been neglecting and you have been eye balling for the past 15 minutes.

There is nothing better than finally acquiring that coveted piece of collectible sports memorabilia to decorate your "man room" with, so that you may inevitably ignite jealousy and envy in the hearts of all your game day buddies who come over every weekend with a case of beer and loudly voice their opinions towards the television detailing why they think the coach is a worthless bum.

Mt Fuji Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar
Categories: Sushi Bars, Japanese, Steakhouses
Where else can you go and have your food cooked in front of you while the cooks dazzle and charm your party? Truly one of the most entertaining meals I have ever had. They started it off throwing rice in people's mouths. Then they began flipping eggs into their shirt pocket and chef hat. To top it all off one of the cooks created a ferocious onion volcano that singed my arm hairs upon explosion.
Oh, and the food is fantastic. Like Blake said in his review, the pink sauce that you dip the shrimp into is an excellent compliment.
I actually ordered the Fillet Mignon and shrimp meal, and there was not a moment during or after the meal where I felt like I did not make the best choice. I think I may have gained 5 pounds before I left, due to the fact I could not stop eating.
Our waitress was kind of a horse's ass and took her sarcasm over board more than once while serving our table.....and this whole time I thought British people and Yankees were the most sarcastic individuals on the planet.
Their prices are a little steep, but about what you would expect from a meal that includes a show. It was about $50 for my date and I, not including the two Asahi beers that I drank with a cheeky grin.

Unfortunately, yesterday I visited that place again and had a completely different experience. I don't want to go into specifics, because they might have just been having an unusually busy or hectic day; however, I think I should warn you that if you go here, do not order food from the bartender. I think he might be mentally handicapped.....and I don't mean handicapped like that Corkie guy from Like Goes On. He was just a normal dude that was a few picnic baskets short of a picnic.
I would have no problem with the guy bagging my groceries, but the type of work involved in the food service industry, especially bartending, seemed to be a little overwhelming for the poor guy.
To put it bluntly, the guy screwed up my order really bad. Then when I proceeded to pay him for the meal, my spider senses drew my attention to the drastic reduction in speed the bartender displayed as he processed the transaction. There is no doubt in my mind that this was intentional, and his ultimate goal was to capitalize on the obvious rush I was in to leave, so that he could keep the $4 in change he owed me as his undeserved tip.
