Sweet Georgias Juke Joint -Food CA (Near Atlanta)

2 /5 Crystal Pennell: My boyfriend and I came here for our date after a lovely time at the aquarium. We were very hungry and excited to try what downtown had to offer. This is out first time out here so we had little to no expectations. When we first walked in the host was rude to my boyfriend when we said we didn’t have a reservation. We had to sit at the bar top because of it. The bartender was nice and she made a yummy cocktail (suge 75). We ordered the salmon cakes as an appetizer, I got the smothered Pork chop and my boyfriend got the peach glazed salmon and a extra side of mac and cheese. To our surprise everything was bland and flavorless. The green beans were so mushy, the mash looked like it was sitting for a long time, the salmon was very small for being $27 and also the side of mac was small for it being $8. My pork chop was okay, I think the gravy was the most flavor on my plate. $97 for two people and we left feeling extremely disappointed. They are very adamant about being a card only establishment, which as someone in the service industry, is strange to me. I will say the atmosphere and music was nice at the very least. I don’t recommend coming here unless you’re coming for alcoholic drinks and live music.

5 /5 Joy J: We enjoyed the Shrimp & Grits, Braised short ribs "Pot Roast" & Caesar salad. Great vibe here. Our server was Will. He did a great job and was very attentive. The musical act was Carlton & One Nation Express I think. They were great. Selections from Ben E. King, Guy, New Edition, & more. This was my husbands first visit. He enjoyed it so much he wants to bring everyone here. We opted to valet park. Im not sure where the self-parking lot is, but I know there is one. It maybe on the side street. Im not sure.

4 /5 Steve Bintley: If you’re looking for some live music then this is a great place, whether you’re wanting just drinks or food to accompany. I turned up early evening without a reservation so was only able to sit at the bar, but this provided great service from the friendly staff. There’s a nice food menu and a couple of the appetisers gave the perfect snack I was looking for. The catfish fingers and prawns were sizeable, hot and very tasty. There’s a good range of draught drinks available too. It’s not the cheapest of places, and they levy a $10 charge for the live music at 7pm, even if you get the bill at 7:01pm, but if you’re hanging around for the evening then that’s not too bad. A nice place and a good spot to catch up with friends.

2 /5 Nico Graydon: Lets be clear, this is not a Juke Joint, thats false advertisement. They handle themselves like an upscale jazz club and require that "men" remove their hats. Which is weird. I expected to see fedoras and schoolboy hats but no hats and thats not on the site. There is also an unsaid 10 live entertainment fee, they dont charge you at the door. Its a surprise fee. Whoever is owner is is confused about what a Juke Joint is apparently. Came with the expectations of hearing some down home blues at least but no. The live entertainment was great , but it didnt fit the name of the club at all. Definitely wont be coming back. I wont even talk about how long it took for them to bring out our food. Very happy our party went from 10 people to 5. Wouldve been embarrassed to bring that many people and have such an lackadaisical experience. False advertisement at its best.
