Last week my mother and I cashed in some of her gift certificates to Napoleon's Grille. While we were sitting at our table I remember commenting to her that Napoleon's is just what this neighborhood needed; a family spot, cozy, friendly, with great atmosphere, weekly live music and excellent food. I have been to Napoleon's many times and on this occasion had the Pot Roast - Excellent! My mother had Salmon and was equally pleased. Our waiter said he was not sure, but believed that Napoleon's had been open for about 7 years or so. That sounds about right, and it is always good. Kudos to Napoleon'sThanks so much Trey! We sincerely appreciate your business and you taking the time to post something. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Sean Keenan - Owner

Mac McGee

With over 600 different whisk(e)ys, and a chef driven from scratch menu, Mac McGee Irish Pub lets you experience the traditions of the old country close to home.

Reviewed By Robert W

And has been since years ago. HUGE whiskey list- literally more than 500 different bottles of whisk(e)y- bourbon, scotch, Irish...other countries as well. 1.25 ounce pours; whiskey flights; special event tastings with experts. I met the legendary Jimmy Russell there. I met the legendary Fred Noe there.I met the master distiller at Laphroig there. I met Tom Bulleit there. So many more! Friendly and highly knowledgeable staff. Really decent beer selection of both local craft and international beers. Multiple nitro pours. Really good pub food- everything from fish and chips to sandwiches to shepherd's pie. And smaller bites like scotch eggs. Can you tell that I love this place. It's not "Friends" but they know my name and if you go there more than a couple of times and they'll know yours, too.

Tasty lunch with friends today. Authentic Irish Pub setting and Food. Real Irish breakfast, Shepherd's pie and Fish and chips. Fish very juicy and thick. Pie just like Ireland and breakfast, with poached eggs, Yum.Service quick and friendly. Outside eating in front. Beer available. Big plus was a parking lot. Located in the Duluth Square area. Many restaurants don't have parking. Beautiful Square area to walk and shop after the meal. Try it!

Melton's App & Tap

Our group of thirteen was quickly seated and served several apps very quickly. The main course of soup, salads, burgers and even a tuna rubin came in short order. The food tasted good and fresh just nothing outstanding. They were great at splitting the check for us.

Victory Sandwich Bar

Reviewed By charleslambert392

Limited selection of sandwiches and appetizers to go with your adult beverage.Sandwiches are fresh, great ingredients and the proper serving size so you do not kill yourself. The Beeter is a pastrami style beet with kimchee on swirled rye. It was very good. The Cuban was hot and tasty as well. Tea Bird was great with a Ghost Pepper mayo. Sandwiches come with chips. The hummus of the day is always a treat. Today it was a caramelized onion with toasted chips.I had a Root Canal which is rootbeer and Absinthe. Sounds strange but it is extremely good. Wife had here usual jack and coke slushie.Jennifer was our server and did well. She is very nice and efficent at customer care. Other staff was helpful and nice as well. They really make you welcome. Good food, goid staff and a great bar cannot be beat! They have a nice patio as well.

Louisiana Bistreaux

We are passionate about our food, our guests and our employees. It takes the combination of all three for our success. Our menu focuses on Cajun Cuisine.

Reviewed By Dennis B

First, I am from Louisiana, grew up on Cajun and Creole food, and cook it regularly for my family from recopies handed down for several generations.I have tried many "Louisiana" style restaurants in the Atlanta area and this one is the best thus far. It's not perfect, but very good.There were four of us and we all tried different dishes. First was the Bistreux Oysters. They were very good and reminded me of the ones served at Don's Seafood (LA since 1934). Next we tried the Gator Bites. These were good, but a bit too much batter. The underlying flavor was very good but the heavy batter was a bit overbearing. The fried okra was very tasty and hot.The crabmeat and corn chowder was very good as well. My only complaint is that they served oyster crackers with it (a northern thing) as opposed to saltine crackers (more of a southern thing). Also, if you are going to be a Louisiana-style restaurant you need to have Crystal and/or Tabasco hot sauce. It's nice to have your own brand, but it was nothing close to the authentic Louisiana Hot Sauces made in New Orleans and New Iberia respectively. Without a doubt the Eggplant Atachafalya was the star of the night. Quite frankly, it was amazing. I highly recommend it. Lightly crispy on the outside and filled with shrimp, crawfish and crabmeat, it just melted in my mouth. Likewise the Redfish Pontchartrain was amazing. The Maque Choux and Dirty Rice were spot on. The fish itself was prepared correctly and the shrimp and crab topping was an excellent touch that added a wealth of flavor.The Grilled Shrimp were spicy, but not overly so and cooked just right - flavorful, but not overbearing. One word of advice to the owner/manager - you need to teach your wait staff how to pronounce words like "Atchafalya", "Pontchartrain and "Etouffee" correctly. These are signature Louisiana words and your staff needs to know how to pronounce them correctly.I highly recommend Louisiana Bistreaux. It's worth the drive if you are not in the Decatur area and for locals, it's quite the gem. I am looking forward to my next visit to try other dishes.Thanks, We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience

Leon's Full Service

Reviewed By Veaya S

Love their burgers actually - though they have a lot of tasty gourmet meals, I keep coming back for those. If you can get there at night or in fall or spring, their patio is fantastic. Also, a great selection of beers and mocktails. This is my favorite place to treat co-workers because food is good and plenty of place to sit and be heard. Alas, they don't take reservations.

The Brick Store Pub

Reviewed By TXMARTINS

A stunning vintage pub with an incredible beer cellar list, an upstairs Belgian bar & a diverse menu with some twists. The service is fantastic, the ambience great & the beer selections beyond anything we have ever seen. My craft beer loving husband has already been back multiple times & I suspect this will be our most frequented place in Atlanta.
