Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Smyrna – 2024

5/5 This place is everything you could ask for from a local diner. Delicious biscuits, I’d come here everyday for breakfast if I could. The Southern Comfort biscuit had me drooling and it’s a crazy amount of food nowadays for under $8.00. The gravy reminded me of my Mom’s and the sausage had me grunting with every bite. They serve Rev coffee as well. Staff was incredibly nice and the service was super quick.

5/5 experience! I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door - plus #1. The gentleman at the register was warm, kind and patient, plus he greeted me good morning - plus # 2. I think we forget how far common courtesy goes these days. My food was packed neatly and everything was piping hot- plus #3. The chicken was seasoned very well and the biscuit was that warm and fluffy melt in your mouth kind.. Just go already

UPDATE: I didn’t think it was possible for this place to amaze me more. I’ve been stopping to get breakfast here almost once a week for me and my roommates and it’s been consistently good. BUT i finally decided to try their lunch menu and OMG. PLEASE TRY THE WINGS!!!! I got lemon pepper, they are perfectly roasted with a LOT of delicious flavor, even the ranch and blue cheese are perfect. The 1911 burger tasted like I was at a cookout, packed with the grilled flavor and perfect amount of toppings. I also got the cheese fries which were solid! food so good i was compelled to write a review while i’m in the middle of eating it. —— wow, flavors are amazing. catfish was perfectly crispy, sausage gravy is perfect, cheese grits are CHEESY. biscuits are soft, buttery, delicious. the best part? affordable! $38 for catfish plate with cheese grits, chicken breakfast plate with sausage gravy, bacon biscuit, southern comfort biscuit (this includes the online ordering fees)

First thing, wow the service is extremely fast. When I pulled in, I considered finding lunch down the street as the parking lot was packed. It seemed very busy, but the service was still superb and extremely quick! Also, the food is delicious and very affordable. I ordered a shredded chicken quesadilla with cheese dip on top, a corona, left a 20% tip, and my total was $15. Not too bad! The only negative is the bathroom cleanliness. They aren’t super disgusting but a little gross. If I am in the area, I will be back. Probably wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here.

I'm sad that we've lived nearby for so many years and are just now trying Monterrey. I see why this place is loved. The food was very good. We ordered a monster sized fajita platter to share and it was excellent.

This place has a nice thematic decor and good vibe. The music is nice and the staff is very kind and helpful. The food is very delicious. You can visit with family and friends. Keep in mind that they’re very popular especially on Fridays so it gets busy. However, the food doesn’t take too long.

This has become one of our favorite neighborhood spots!!! Kevin and Margarita are both so friendly and kind. We try something different every time we come in and the food is phenomenal. They always have delicious drink specials. The take out is always a good option if you don’t feel like going in. 5 stars all around!

This was a big disappointment! The only reason I gave it 1 star was because of my server and the place was nice and clean. I ordered my food and it came out in less than ten minutes. Honestly, I should have sent it back. The food was not hot, not very warm or even warm. It was not freshly made and must have been sitting out or under a low degree heat lamp because everything on my plate was dry and tasteless. The goat meat looked and tasted overcooked and was not at all tender as most goat dishes are. The best part of the entire meal was the water. Not recommended!

This is definitely a fine dining experience for Caribbean food. The food is fresh and they run out often, so if you're looking for something specific called before you go. I think the food is more Haitian then general Caribbean food. I say that because I had the goat and it was fried, what you made it absolutely delicious. The plantains are savory not sweet, but they are delicious. The service is absolutely fantastic and friendly, and as you can imagine they get busy, but they make sure you don't sit at the table too long before your food gets there. I was really impressed, I'm going to go back for the oxtails. And if you like fish there are plenty of seafood options, in my group, someone had the salmon and it looked the amazing. Go here

My EXCEPTIONAL Server was Raven. Her very COMPETENT Manager who also checked on me often was Arin. They made my night very enjoyable. Raven made me the best drink I have EVER had. She got my food order right and made sure it was exactly as I requested. Because of these 2 young ladies I will visit Juicy Crab more often BUT I will ONLY visit Smyrna location and ONLY when Raven and Arin are available. Nice atmosphere. Not ghetto at ALL. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @BBFLY

I want to start by saying i live around the corner from here so i go here very oftn in a year span. Also thank you to the hispanic gentleman in take out that helped me get my food to the car. But yall are dead wrong for trying to feed me molded crab legs. I bought these around 9pm

The food was great. The atmosphere was well lit. Gigantic projector screen to watch ESPN

The food is great but giving it a 2 for customer service. I don’t eat pork and asked numerous times to not add bacon. I placed a to-go order since I didn’t have time to dine-in. Upon realizing there was bacon on my order I called to see if there was a credit available as I’ve ordered there for years. The manager said they were unable to provide one since there’s no way to prove the order was wrong.

The vibes are ✨ . The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and talk to us like we're old friends. Drinks were amazing, music was amazing if you like SZA, Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean. Food was great and affordable

Place has a great vibe. My friend and I went to try the Halloween drinks menu and they didn't disappoint! Will go back in the near future

I love the entire concept of this restaurant. I’ve eaten here twice. First time I had someone make my pasta bowl for me, but the second time I went in myself. My bowl was delicious. The staff was super friendly and the entire restaurant was very clean and chill. They also carry the Tractor organic lemonade brand — it’s so good! While I was placing my order I had my dog outside in the car waiting, and when I saw that they had outside seating I got him out the car and let him sit beside me while I ate. Soon after, I saw one of the staff members headed outside towards us. I 100% thought that she was about to tell me that the dog couldn’t be out there, but instead she just wanted to see him and pet him! She even brought my little nugget a small bowl of water. That was sooooo sweet of her! We will definitely be back soon. :)

Always willing to try something new. This time it didn't really pan out well. The service was great, the ambiance was nice, but the food lacked flavor. We were able to finish the meal but it was very oily. I wouldn't travel back across town for this place. For that matter, I wouldn't stop by again if I'm in the area unless I have no other options.

OWNER: Get a bottle opener if you are gonna sell glass bottles!!! Same here on a Saturday to eat lunch. Saw it while driving by to go eat elsewhere, and thought to give this place a try. Good thing we did, cause this place was great! They have a good variety bits of pasta options, and are able to build your own options too. They heat it up in front of you too after. Got our food, and drinks, and cookies later too. We discovered after getting our drinks that they didn't have a bottle opener. Luckily we had a way to open it. The food tasted great! Would recommend to give this place a try.

One of my favorite seafood restaurants near the city. Food is excellent! Every time I come here, they immediately sit us down. The customer service is great. Not much of a long wait for food either depending on what you order, everything comes out hot and fresh. I recommend the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi, HLS Oysters, and the Salmon.

This is one of the better casual seafood restaurants in the Atlanta area. The food and service are always good. They keep your drinks refilled. Everything is fresh and hot. The blackened grouper sandwich is fantastic. Same with the salmon burrito. Today I had the special, shrimp Diablo pasta. Two thumbs up on this one.

My husband, daughter and I came to this wonderful place for a family dinner and now I can say that I fell in love with this restaurant we were served by the waitress Nicole, she was extremely kind and friendly, a very professional and pleasant girl! The food was very tasty, my cocktail surprised me with an incredible fresh taste! I can confidently say that this place is now one of our favorites, we recommend everyone to visit!!!!!

Zama has great food and friendly staff! We had the ceviche appetizer. Really yummy! As well as the Cozumel Shrimp tacos and the Quesabirria w Consume as entrees. Both really good and had great flavor. Delicious salsa too!

Friday outing - Classic Mexican dishes. The fried Shrimp appetizer and Fish Tacos were delicious. The Margarita was lite - oh well. Will visit again.

I was eager to order from this place due to pics on the site and recommendation from a coworker so I decided to place an order for lunch online. When i got there they could not find my order and I had to show proof of the order. I had to leave immediately after getting my food bc i was on lunch break.. they left off my guacamole.. the nachos had big chunks of peppers and onion not cooked well., i only had a few pieces of chicken scattered.. def not worthy of my coins. I am pissed that I wasted $20 on a meal that was not good and not hot at all smh. I won’t be going back. What an inconvenient! Refund me my money!!

My family and I dined here for the first time last night. We have been Smyrna residents for 10 years and always passed this place, so I decided it was time to visit after reading all of the great reviews. It did not disappoint! The ambiance was wonderful. Our waiter Rick was knowledgeable and engaging! The food was so delicious that we're already planning our next visit! We will definitely recommend and will be back very soon!

The atmosphere would be a little better if the kitchen area wasn’t so loud. That’s the only area of improvement that I can offer. This place is great. Ricky L was our server and he rocks. So personal and ensured we enjoyed our meals. The specials were on pointe with what we were looking for. The rice balls as an appetizer, broccoli cheese soup with lobster, and the halibut spaghetti meal with clams and crab meat was amazing. And let’s not forget the delicious wine. We will definitely return.

I love Mezza Luna! I’ve been going here for years and it’s always a wonderful experience with great food and service. Pictured here is the butternut squash ravioli which they had as a special. The specials are always good! I recommend this place to people looking for a special dinner such as for a date, celebration, or meeting up with your favorite people. Try the limoncello cake!

Went on a date to this restaurant. The staff was friendly and eager to help. The music playing was not too loud and a fun selection. I went during brunch hours. They do close for about an hour between brunch and dinner. I tried their old fashioned and it was so Good I had a second. The complimentary biscuits and cornbread are delectable. The cornbread has actual cooked corn kernels baked in. They taste fresh and enough to satisfy your appetizer cravings. My date enjoyed her flavorful shrimp and grits. And it was a good portion. I had the breakfast sandwich but subbed out the ham for turkey bacon. Really enjoyed it but the side salad had a bland dressing. Theres free parking in the parking lot. Easy to find this restaurant. Great layout and I’d absolutely come back to try dinner.

I always enjoy South City, but they all are not created equal. This location was decent , but Midtown has become my favorite. The service here is amazing tho, I sat at the bar and the bartender (white guy with tattoos) was great! Truly engages the customers. The staff here was friendly. My food tasted a little bland but still worth another try.

I always sit at the bar when I go to South Cuty Kitchen in Vinings. The bartenders are always helpful and accommodating. The drinks are always A-1. Watching them mix is a treat as well. The dish may look simple but the flavor kick is amazing. The chicken is always the star, tender juicy and crispy all at once. The waffle is light and crispy and the syrup is a great pairing.

Visited this place on a whim one day. I tried the Southwest Bowl with chicken and my friend had their classic cheeseburger. Upon initial arrival, the restaurant gives classic bar. Dark furniture but nice. The bar top was full. My server was amazing and full of vibrancy. Her customer service was so good I came back but experience the complete opposite with service and food quality. I may go back but that experience deterred me from wanting to return.

On 9.28.24 the biggest game day of the season McCray's allowed us to host our wedding after party here. When I say thank you could not cover the top tier service that we received from Tiffany and Tony. We had a large party and nothing went wrong, nothing negative to say, food was amazing, drinks were A1!!! A TIME WAS HAD. We wanted something personal and matched who we are as a couple and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Thank you Beth for your follow up to make sure that we had everything we needed leading up to the day. Tiffany, girl, you rock!!!! That was a night to remember and our DJ Jelly loved the vibe there. At the end of the night we were not rushed to leave we were treated with the utmost kindness on our day. Thank you again.

First time here. Good place to watch sports. Tried the panini buffalo chicken sandwich, wings and gumbo. Everything was fresh and hot.

Came with a party of 6 around 6:30pm on a Thursday. We were shown our table when we arrived and to our surprise it wasn’t that busy. Our waiter came to our table and asked what we would like to drink and if we would like to place any appetizers. We all didn’t look at the menu and asked if we could have a few minutes… well, a few minutes turned into 20 min until he came back to ask us if we would like to place any appetizers. Sadly, this continued throughout our entire time there, our waiter checked on us twice, which we had to wave him down to ask for refills on our drinks. Also, I have no reason why they had the fireplace on which caused it to be way too hot inside. I would have taken pictures of everyone meal but due to us waiting so long for the food to come out they all wasted no time eating their food. Sadly, the food was nothing special and the portion size is small for the costs. I would not recommend based on the lack or customer service and also the portion size.

This place is awesome! My fiancé and i was celebrating being together for a decade and this place was perfect! The staff, food, and atmosphere is great! Reasonable prices! Please get the fried green tomatoes! I believe Meghan was our bartender, She’s amazing and definitely one of the reasons we will come back!

Dinner at the Smyrna location last night was a mixed bag, and not in the fun, exciting way we’d hoped. My husband, our best friend visiting from Ohio, and I were looking forward to a cozy evening together, but unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot. After we ordered our drinks—sodas, water, and no alcohol—our server seemed to lose all interest in us. While he wasn’t rude, it felt like he mentally checked out. He took our food orders, and then... that was it. We didn’t see him again until we flagged him down for the check, right after we’d finished our meal. The food, thankfully, was still amazing—always a highlight when we come here—but the service definitely left a lot to be desired. The only real “interaction” we had with the evening was the warmth of the fireplace by our table. We joked afterwards that our server must’ve assumed we weren't spending much since we weren’t ordering alcohol, and unfortunately, it seemed like that affected the level of care we received. It’s a shame because we love the food and had hoped for a more engaging experience to make the evening memorable. Here's hoping next time the service matches the quality of the meal!

this is an average of two experiences. One was a weekday around 4 PM and it was fantastic. The food was great and the atmosphere was lively. Last night, it was really weird. The dining room had different music from the smoking bar and they competed with each other, most servers were serving the bar, so we didn’t get a whole lot of attention . The food was not very good. do not get the pizza rolls. The nachos were OK. The wings are fantastic .The staff is wonderfully friendly. I just decided that I would be going during the day from now on.

Pretty good. Servers and host were great. Wings were really really good. Great size. The philly fries was delicious. Baked potato was ehhh ok. But what great service and def will be back. Has an older tavern sticky floors feel to it. All in all. Good.

Came by Varners for a late night meal and to hang out. Decided to go with the wing combo. The wings were cooked perfectly, perfectly crisp yet still tender and juicy inside and neither overcooked or too flabby. The fries were alright, nothing special but did the job, however the portion was rather small. The vibe inside the bar was nice, as we went on a weekend there was both trivia and karaoke available for the patrons. Service was alright, initially we were checked on for food and first round of drinks, but the visits from our waiter for additional rounds started to become barren as the night progressed. Overall decent bar with some great wings and fun activities to do at night.

When I travel, I like to patronize local businesses. Tonight I had a special meal with ZORBA Cafe in Smyrna TN. My meal was healthy, fresh, full of flavor and delicious. Staff was engaged and friendly. Restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was relaxed. I highly recommend ZORBA Cafe.

This was my first time here and it was SO good! I was headed home from the airport and stopped by for a really late lunch, and even though it wasn’t a peak meal time, the food wash fresh and amazing! I have struggled to find great quick bites but place is a gem and I’ll be back! $14 for my mixed grilled salad and worth it!

You know the food is good when there's a long line! The first thing I noticed about this place upon walking in was how CLEAN it was. I got the gyro platter and most definitely had dinner for later - the portion size was incredible for the price. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just delicious. I've been recommending this place to all of my coworkers and clients.

Awesome food! Awesome service! Made me feel at home. They went the extra mile. I would travel the hour to get there ❤️

Dined in 7/21/2024. Hunter was an amazing server, very attentive and polite. The manager was friendly and came to our table to talk with us for a good 10-15 mins. Nice atmosphere, food was spot-on and came out quickly. Steaks were perfect! Would definitely go back!

Wonderful place for a birthday celebration. Our waiter was attentive. The wait was less than 10 minutes on a Friday night. The food was perfection. Thank you!!

I had ordered two Tricycle Samplers there and got home and the food was overcooked. The Potato Skins didn't have anything on it as well. I ended up having to throw it away. When I called the following morning the Manager on the morning shift told me she couldnt compensate me or remake my other. All the other Toots have great food and service. I suggest you not to go to this one. The customer service and cooking is terrible. Wont be going back to this location.

This is a nice place to eat. I didn't take any photos of the food but I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I am an rib eater. I've eaten ribs all over the world to find the best. For the price, these are not bad. They didn't fall off the bone, but they were not tough either. I actually liked them, but wouldn't say they're the best. The service was fine for being a Saturday and very busy. I would eat here again.

Wings were good, but their hottest wasn't enough for me. Excellent fried pickles, I could eat them by themselves. Potato skins were disappointing as they were laking enough cheese and no chives or green onion. However, I can say they are loaded with bacon.

Very friendly. Really good food. Def going back when I am here. The mashed potato's are sooo fluffy. Meatloaf is yum. Ham burger think and juicy and fries are crispy

Honestly it’s been a long time since I had food from somewhere and it tasted so homemade and made with love! I devoured my food. Everything was just so good! Not only was the food incredibly delicious, the owner is one of the sweetest souls. And the beauty that took our order. I truly appreciate the kindness they gave us. Especially having two under two who were a little cranky. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!

We visited the cafe for the first time this morning. We were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant' was about fifty percent full, the staff was quick to get our drink ordered and gave us a minute to look over the menu, which was full of options for breakfast. Breakfast was ready in about fifteen minutes and came out hot and delicious! The owner greeted every table thanking everyone for their patronage and making sure the meals were being enjoyed. We had a great breakfast at a fair price. The cafe was clean and the staff was very attentive, all at a fair price. We will be coming back!

We were seated right away. The chef was cooking for seven people. The rice portions are HUGE. My noodle portion was much smaller than the rice and it cost a good bit extra. The food tasted really good!! I loved the scallops and shrimp. The veggies are great and I LOVE the ginger dressing on the salad. Our chef didn’t do many tricks, didn’t toss shrimp in our mouth, wasn’t talkative. I wish he has more personality/ did more of the “fun” things you typically see when eating hibachi. We were seated towards the end of the seven people and I did notice I got less scallops and chicken than the others. I wish at least for the scallops, since you’re paying more, that you got a certain number. It was overall a good experience and the food was super tasty! I will definetly come back. The only other negative is that the chef was messy (see photo) and food was flung everywhere. I really didn’t like eating in such a messy environment.

Highly recommend checking out Tokyo Japanese Steak House! The Wife and I really enjoyed our meals! Everything was delicious, hot, and the staff were all very kind to me when I came in. Looking forward to coming back and enjoying another meal :)! Thank you all!

Tokyo hosted my daughter's birthday party last night and it was a great experience. The kids and family loved it, the food was delicious, and the hibachi chefs were excellent. I recommend Tokyo for both their hibachi experience and regluar sit down service!

Day trip with kids no line or wait. Great health score rating. Waitress very nice and friendly. Per recommendation from waitress tried new dish not listed on menu which was the salmon alfredo. It was very good, but wish salmon was hotter on arrival. It's possible it was ready before other dishes which kids had shrimp alfredo and kids burger. Of course the hiney butter croissants delicious as always. For drink i had strawberry lemon which was good. Definitely recommend this location.

Very Beautiful location. Definitely a resort atmosphere feel. The food is amazing. The server was amazing too and she was pregnant she did an excellent job with our crew of multigenerational women. Teenagers middle life and senior citizens. The only thing is that we can suggest that since it's a party the placed us all over in a West wing .. lol (technically I don't know or care which side was North at this point but where the location of the Bathroom was to our Location). The bathrooms were like going to Bermuda. Such a long walk from the party room they place us in. Definitely a hike for an elderly disabled person to go if they have to go ya know. Yes that rhymes but so does time. And the time to speak up is now We definitely loved the Food and the Manager and server were amazing. Definitely if we are back in the area we probably go there again, because it's Cheddar's . It's always delicious and made from Scratch. So in closing, 1. Bathrooms--Need to either make additional seating area near the bathrooms location, which is right now close to the bar area, and/or make an additional bathroom on the side of restaurant that has the party tables. Which if you are short in height be well advised do not sit in the booths you will need a booster seat. The table is up too high from the seat to eat comfortable. And if you have more than 2 then someone will have to move to accommodate the bathroom trips or if you need to go outside for that business call etc... So in closing we probably will come back to this Cheddar's as we have family in the area. Because for all it's worth with the bathroom location and the seating for parties the Cake...ohh the Birthday Chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. Wow. Amazing Thank you Cheddar's staff for making my Aunt's birthday dinner luncheon the Greatest so far.

They changed the cheese fries from the shredded cheese to queso. That's why we come so much, they were a favorite of ours. The cheesecake looked store bought and tasted mehhhh. So disappointed. Service was cool, food was below average.

I am from Phoenix so I eat a lot of salmon. The salmon was amazing the saucy shrimp were amazing and my server was awesome. I don't drink and the mocktail she brought back was great. I really enjoyed my dinner there. I highly recommend this place

Unique spot to eat with a good view of the historic downtown Smyrna area and passing trains. The food was unique and delicious, prices were fair, and service was excellent! I'm usually not a fan of slaw, but their pineapple slaw was really good on the chicken sandwich! The fries were good but did come out a little cold. I recommend eating here and then checking out Game Galaxy next door! Great date spot!

The restaurant just changed ownership and was closed for a few days before we dinner, and some of the items weren't available as they only serve fresh items. The food we had was very good and we will be back as the new owners will get settled in and I'm sure everything will be awesome. Plenty of parking behind the restaurant so stop by and help this locally-owned restaurant be successful!
