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

Me and my husband came here for dinner on our wedding anniversary and had such a wonderful experience! Ariel took great care of us at the bar making this experience personable. She made us feel at home! The food and cocktails were delicious and i highly recommended the oysters. We will definitely come back. Thank you for a memorable anniversary dinner!

We went to a lunch on Saturday at 12. The food took a while to arrive. I think it was because of the limited number of waitresses. The drinks were strong. Food was good for everyone. The kale and Brussels sprouts were the favorite for veggies. Pasta was good. Mac and cheese was exceptionally well. Check out the chicken wings! Whether you get different sauces on it or not, it is good!

Wonderful experience! Charita and her team provide impeccable service, ensuring that every detail is attended to with care and precision. Our waitress, Whitney, was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and drink selections. Very elegant setting, perfect for out birthday celebration. Highly recommend.

Tried them to support local business. Very clean environment. Had the catfish and onion rings. Food was average in portion and flavor. When I think of Soul Food I think of fresh fish with bigger portions and hand battered onion rings. These were not. Also the 2 pieces of white bread underneath really served no purpose to me. Prices on sides seem a little on the high side as well. A few tweaks and this place could have them lined up out the door.

It is a very clean restaurant and the customer service was amazing but the food…… I tried the vegetable plate and the food was warm but that honestly best review I can give the food , the greens tasted like they were straight out of the can, the Mac had this weird stiffness to it, like it was frozen Mac and cheese with cheese added into it. The fried green tomatoes were extremely bland and the okra was definitely frozen and probably the pictsweet brand. This isn’t home cooking in my opinion and I was pretty disappointed. I haven’t tried the meat but I honestly feel like if you can’t get the sides right then trying anything else is not worth it. I appreciate the great service though. They were very sweet.

When I tell you THIS is the BEST macnchz Ive ever had!! I ordered two servings of it! Bought the veggie plate and the star is most definitely this yummy cheesy, well seasoned Mac!!! A must have!!

Overall, 5 stars!!! Stopped her for lunch on a Monday and was not disappointed. The service was friendly, fast, and professional. Coffee was our waitress, and she had such a beautiful personality. The food came out quick it was not a disappointment. I wasn't a fan of the grits they were on the watery side, but that was just for me because everyone else enjoyed them. The drinks were perfect!!! The atmosphere was cute, small , clean, and neat. If you are in Douglasville, don't hesitate to go.

Honey let me tell you me and my husband was visiting from out of town and this place was suggested for us. Everything was soo delicious the menu is amazing. We had the best waitress who was also working the bar and taking to go orders. Mano margarita was on point!! The egg rolls was hot and crispy, cat Fish and grits was seasoned to perfection and the seafood pasta was delicious… a must try when you are in the area.

We went to The red velvet bistro on a Sunday after church and the place wasn’t really packed, which I did like and the spacing of the tables were gray as usually brunch places spacing is really tight. we ordered the waffles and lobster waffles and chicken and the baked potato. All the food was great and the service was great as well. We all got the strawberry lemonade, which was really really good definitely recommend and our appetizers worthy southwest rolls and the salmon bites. Salmon bites were crunchy which I liked in the south west eggrolls were really really good. Definitely recommend for an appetizer. Overall experience was 10 out of 10. They do add a 20% gratuity to all checks which I was not aware of which is becoming the norm now I guess other than that everything was great.

My friend and I decided to meet up for a bite to eat and had planned to go to a place down the street but once we got there it was horrible so we left and happened to find this gem. They were busy for a Sunday at 1:00 but we were seated right away. Server was great food was good and people were friendly I will definitely be going back her again!

Had an absolutely wonderful time! I was a visitor from out of town and my parents showed me this place. The server was good, food came out fast I wish my drinks were a tad stronger I barely felt them at all

We went late on Saturday. Customer service was great. Drinks were good. Food was hot and fresh. They even let us sit and chat after closing. Will definitely recommend!

Food is really good. Hot. Full wet bar and R & B music. Bar service is friendly with a smile. The bathroom is clean and looks well maintained. There is an automatic 20% gratuity, which isn't a problem since the service was good. The only down side is.... where a jacket. They keep it very cold in here whether you sit at a table or at the bar. Over all. Good experience. One small note, they have really good broccoli and spinach for sides.

Ok, let's lay it out! This was one of many stops for our friend's 33rd birthday celebration in Atlanta! When we arrived (party of 13 w/reservations) everything was cool. There weren't many other patrons there, so we kind of kicked off the day. Our server took our drink orders immediately, but it seemed to take forever for them to be served. Once the drinks finally arrived, they were decent. Just about everyone ordered food, and the kitchen struggled a little. There were quite a few mishaps. Personally, I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken with Mac n cheese and broccoli. The chicken was extra small but seasoned well. The broccoli....get rid of it and maybe add green beans or collards. Now, that Mac n cheese.....THE BEST THING ON THE MENU! It was cheesy, creamy, hot, just good! I was disappointed in the cafeteria style silverware and salt n pepper shakers. They were trying to present a somewhat upscale vibe with upscale prices but purchased basic supplies. I'm not sure I'd return on my own, but it was cool.

Visited this establishment on a business trip to Georgia based on Google reviews. A hookah bar where brothers and sisters, hang out and watch music videos, and some sports games. Definitely a soul rhythm bar. The food is good if at times greasy. The service is slow, but friendly. I would patronize this establishment again down the road.

This place needed some help the day we ate there, all in the dining room. It looked as though the floor hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The food was amazing though. My omelet was very well made and delicious and had one of the best biscuits I’ve had in a long time topped with honey butter. We would go back but I hope they clean up the dining room before then. Highly recommend!

Rating: ★★★★☆ Gritz Brunch Bar is a cozy cafeteria-style eatery with a twist—a bar! The wait wasn’t long as we made reservations, which was a smart move. The seating is spacious, even though the dining room itself isn’t very large. The high ceilings and open spaces give it a lofty feel. There was some nice music playing, which added to the relaxed vibe. The food was okay, nothing to write home about, but decent enough. I appreciated the to-go option, but the line for it is right by the bar, which can be a bit distracting from the dining experience. I managed to find street parking, but it was scarce, especially for a Sunday. The area is nice and walkable, perfect for a stroll if there’s a wait for seating or just to enjoy after brunch. Overall, Gritz Brunch Bar is a pleasant spot with a good atmosphere and convenient location. It’s worth checking out for a casual brunch!

Very nice location,service food and atmosphere peach cobbler French toast was great. The wife has been looking for salmon croquettes and I thing she has found them. Cocktail menu looked great but we came a little too early to try. Look forward to coming back and checking them out.

We are here on a business trip in Georgia. The food is amazing here with an extensive menu. The service is a little slow, but very friendly. I would definitely come here again.

We only ate here passing by nonetheless, the restaurant had a good atmosphere where the volume of patrons and tv volume was quite nice and not loud. The order came to the table faster than we can ever remember a sit down restaurant ever having. We even noticed a larger table’s order was server just as fast. The food was quite good for such a large menu and taste was traditional. I hope this was helpful only because it is unlikely that we will visit the restaurant again. However, worth a review, because that’s how we found it. Staff was very friendly.

Very clean and spacious and nice place. Soup was delicious. Quick and great service

What can I say? This place ticks all the boxes, and I love it. The service is outstanding! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly and enthusiastic staff. Our waitress was fantastic, clearly enjoying her job. The food was incredible, with generous portions. We tried several dishes and had plenty of leftovers to take home. The atmosphere was charming, and the restaurant itself is adorable. And let's not forget the little robots that deliver drinks and sing happy birthday – so cute! Definitely a 10/10, we will be back.

Went out for my mother’s birthday. Hibachi and kitchen meals were delicious! The chefs were awesome! At first, we were a little worried with hospitality it felt harsh but I guess that’s the normal demeanor haha. Overall, the service turned out successful. I have a child who has many allergies and they were accommodated by the kitchen.

The place is clean and inviting. Employees are friendly but a little overwhelmed. Food is very average. Sushi, in my opinion, tastes like a rookie made it. The salad was okay. Soup had a weird dumpling type substance in it. Hibachi was just commercial Hibachi. The cook, Romeo, did an entertaining presentation and did cook the food properly.

First I have to say they are really understaffed. They have a sign by the door “ hiring all positions “ so have to give them a break. However, the food from the kitchen side was average. The sushi is great, very delicate but also took very long time. We finished our entrees and the sushi combo( sashimi + Nigiri) still not out. The server was overwhelmed with tables. The whole restaurant looks chaotic. Will probably go back as soon as they have more staff. The parking was plentiful.

The food was delicious! It's probably one of the best hibachi dinners I've ever had. Unfortunately, I can not remember the name of the appetizer and the 2nd dish we had, but both were equally as delicious! The heart-shaped dish was shaped perfectly before. We just forgot to take a picture before eating. The only thing I will say is it did take a while for them to seat us, but food makes up for it.

Small plates of food. Spent $60 for 2 and left hungry. The little bit we had was tasty and atmosphere relaxing. I would have given them 5 stars If the plates of food were more filling. We're not large people. I'm 140 lbs and my husband 165 lbs.

Arrived on a Friday and immediately sat down, the waitresses were fun and an easy to talk to about our orders. Drinks were giving tasting like the descriptions and not sour. Overall great experience, we will be back!!!

The service is always excellent. This is my favorite spot to go to. The food was really good and on point. I like Lorena’s service Very attentive. Thank you juicy my favorite seafood boil ever!!! And I have more to take home

My first time in Douglasville for Easter week with family. I saw that they had fried oysters on the menu. They were so good and huge. When I come back to Georgia this will be my first stop.

I’m definitely adding Blu Rose to my rotation. I visited on a Sunday and dined at the bar. I ordered a lot but took most of it to go because it’s a lot of food. The customer service was great, very genuinely friendly. In the restaurant I had coffee, a French 75 with cognac & the grits - all were amazing. The grits were top tier!! I took the collards, Mac & cheese and seafood to go but they all were delicious. The collards have a little spice but still delicious. The fish and seafood was fried and seasoned perfectly. The oysters have a breading that wasn’t my fav as far as texture- it was thicker than I’m used to but it tasted great. I said no fries but they brought them out and even the fries are seasoned to perfection. The French 75 w/Cognac- the bartender done very well. It was made with fresh lemon/lime juice and had the perfect balance. Blu Rose was a great choice. I love great food & service so I’ll be back!

Our organization decided to have Brunch here one Sunday. From the first step inside we were greeted and welcomed warmly. We hand a party of 11 but they eagerly seated us. Food was amazing and the service was awesome. From the Calamari, the Banana Fosters, the smash Burger or those delicious Whole chicken wings and waffle….everyone enjoyed themselves and the food. Don’t forget that Blueberry Lemonade. On point. The owner even took time out to take a picture with us and share her story!! Thank you so much for taking care of us and we look forward to returning soon! N2PMC

Me and a few ladies went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious, try the candied Brussels Sprouts. The alcoholic drinks were good too. Unfortunately, the service was horrible. We were seated for about 30 minutes before the waitress brought us water or anything. We then asked about house specials since we had never been before. The waitress really didn't know and had to go check. We finally got our food and ate. The next thing we knew, they started moving tables and stated we had to get ready to leave because 8pm was their busy time-frame.

Sam at Thumbs Up Diner made our family visit truly exceptional. From her warm welcome to her impressive menu knowledge, Sam ensured our experience was delightful. She kept our coffee and drink cups full, accommodated our dietary needs, and made sure our order was to our liking. Sam is a hero of customer service. Our family had a great experience, thanks to Sam’s outstanding service!

My mom and I have been coming here for years with not a single complaint when we sat with Keisha. She was busy today so we sat with Matt. He was so rude and dismissive when we told him I had a hair in my food. Then walked away in the middle of my mom telling him what was wrong with her food. He straight up told us most customers don't like the pancakes because of the applesauce used instead of buttermilk. Why would you not tell your guest that. When we complained about him to another server (because he refused to come back to the table let alone look in our direction) he walked up said the meal was taken cate of and walked away. As a SUPERVISOR he should have asked if there was anything he could do to help or at least apologize for the inconvenience. It was his birthday so we were planning to tip him well, but after that unprofessional behavior we opted not to. I hope his birthday gets better and he loses his attitude. It will get him nowhere.

I’ve decided, I DO NOT enjoy the pancakes! LOL - this apple juice, apple sauce batter is just not tasty. They’re now serving less potatoes, so I assume this is due to inflation. We love the staff, always kind. This location is a keeper.

Visited with my aunt and friends and had an amazing meal and amazing portions for the prices paid. The flounder was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My aunt had the fried shrimp platter and truly enjoyed her meal as well. Shout out to our server, Unique for her great service. Our compliments to the chef, Kyle, as well for cooking everything perfectly. We also enjoyed the great playlist, which really helped to set the mood and add the finishing touch to our experience. I’d highly recommend The Kitchen Bar & Grill.

DONT SKIP THE 1 stars ! We got not about to hype up, a place not living to its name !!!! Food was Trash! I’m sorry, but I have to be honest. My salmon hard and dry. It was the same width as my fork. My Mac and cheese, wasn’t even cheesy. The lump of cheese was just sitting on top. Like, this isn’t your grandmother stop. This your cousin you don’t invite to cook at Thanksgiving. My Yams, they weren’t Yamming ! Like how that’s even possible. They get 0 stars from me and 20% gratitude on all Take out and deliveries. My first time and only time and I don’t play about my food but I got to work. So they get my honest review. If it’s the cook, avoid buddy with the long braid on the back. He don’t have no favor. Tic tok lied !!! First time ever I experienced this

I've been a few times for breakfast. The pancakes are exceptional and the grits are creamy and delicious. Tried the shrimp and grits as well. I can appreciate that they actually remove the tails from their shrimp (unlike the other brunch spots nearby) and it was seasoned. Maybe a tad too much gravy. Overall really good.

I ordered the Torta Birria and it was awesome! The meat was tender and flavorful, the bread was just the right amount of melted cheese and toasted and the consomme was phenomenal! Service was fast and friendly and the prices weren't bad!

I would have loved to give this place a higher rating but the food left a lot to be desired. The menu is expansive to much. Food did arrive quickly and was hot but lacking seasoning. Guacamole was TERRIBLE. I did enjoy the salsa. The decor was nice, service was great.

I’m a fan. Always have been. Never really had anything bad. My go to meal is the Texas fajita Nachos. They also have great margaritas. Armando at the bar is great!
