Pasta Max

Reviewed By dolliew845 - McDonough

The food at Pasta Max is ALWAYS amazing. It's a small place with BIG pleasantries. Everything from the "special" salad, garlic rolls swimming in butter and fresh ground garlic to the wonderfully fresh entrees and homemade desserts. It's always a real pleasure to dine at Pasta Max. We try to arrive early (4:30ish) as it fills up quickly. It's a very popular place.

Cafe under a large canopied tree, cool breeze and warm people. I had the best chai latte I've ever had. Creamy, rich and just sweet enough without being overpowering. The Almond sugar free latte was just right; nothing lost with the sugar free syrup; nicely frothed and creamy. The environment is laid back, indoor and outdoor seating with calm upbeat music.

Truett's Grill

In the late 1950s, Truett began experimenting with different seasonings and faster ways of preparing a great tasting chicken sandwich. By the early ‘60s, he had developed the winning taste combination and cooking technique that led to the now famous Chick-fil-A Sandwich.For many people, a trip to a shopping mall would not be complete without a stop at Chick-fil-A. We can thank Truett.

If you enjoy Chick-fil-a you will enjoy this restaurant. Combination of standard counter and sit down restaurant. Sit down restaurant has larger variety of entrees for breakfast and dinner but still mostly chicken. Counter area dining is always busy which probably explains the uncleanliness. I would go for the sit down dinner whenever we came.

I guess I do not understand when you walk in and you are told a 30 minute wait and you can count 12 tables empty and waiting. I love eating here and the food is great but someone needs to explain. 330 on a Saturday and plenty of tables. I had fish tacos and they are very good. My partner had fajitas and they looked great.

15th Street Pizza & Pub

Reviewed By 986bradleyk - Mcdonough

Had not been here in a while, and in the past it was usually just for a quick lunch. We decided to give dinner a shot. I had the personal meat lover's pizza, and it was pretty good. She had the wine and cheese sub and really liked it. I was very impressed with the cold beer. If you stop and think about it, majority of places do not serve a truly cold beer. Service was prompt and attentive. We look forward to going again.

Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By Patti501 - Wisconsin

Cracker Barrel is always a stop for us as we travel. We were not disappointed. My husband ordered meatloaf, collard greens, green beans and coleslaw. I ordered grilled chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and carrots. It was all served fresh, hot and delicious. Our meal came with biscuits and/or cornbread. We ordered one of each. They were both fantastic. Prices are great and the service was fast. No room for dessert, but the choices sure looked good!

Reviewed By Denmar33 - McDonough, Georgia

I wish that this could be a positive review. The last 2 times I visited were disappointing. The last time, we actually walked out before ordering. I love the location, atmosphere and the food had previously been great. Loved their Blue Cheese Burger once upon a time. Last time, not so much and the service has been poor. Very slow and not too concerned with the patrons. Waitresses chatting around and the last time cleaning tables on both sides of mine and yelling and laughing with each other over my head. I left on that visit because it was a reminder of the previous visit. (I always give another chance)

Visited this Chick-fil-A when staying nearby. Food was great and service, but the traffic getting in and out was a nightmare. DON'T go during dinner or lunch busy times..
