GOD DAMN! Does anyone take pride in their little restaurants anymore? I have had my eye on a little place called Rick's Bistro that serves breakfast. Thought I would finally try it out. So I walk in at 1pm and I am the only customer there. I asked if I could still get breakfast. The waitress says yes! So., I am actually really happy and smiling at this point. The place is cute and clean. The table sign has a picture of Rick the chef. I look in the back and that is actually him cooking. At this point I think, "Hey, good little place." So I order 2 egg breakfast with a bagel and a the same to go order for a friend. I had to sit through one hour of the movie "Miss Congeniality 2". I am pissed! I wanted eggs so I freaking waited. By this time there are 4 more tables and all of us with NO FOOD! When I get my food I ask for the check to see the ticket time--ticket time....13:07......time now.........FREAKING 13:55! For 2 eggs! Good god man, I am no chef Ramsey critic but this is a shit ticket time! I get my check and nothing is itemized just a total, "$17.98." WTF? So now I have to get the menu and add in front of the server and I get 14 bucks. The server is foreign and having trouble understanding me. Just saying , "Yes, Yes." Seriously? I am pissed now! I would hate to see the ticket times during a rush!
Come on Rick get it together man! Crap I could have went to Waffle House. I wanted home cooked breakfast. Look, this place has potential--but I see no reason to ever go back again!

I came into the Flats today for a little Mex food. I was greeted at the door immediately! The server was very knowledgeable and helpful. I hope she is in college because that good attitude will go a long way in the world. The lunch and drink ran around 10 bucks. I sat outside because I smoke. It was a nice day so I was glad they had tables outside. They bring your food out to you here; nice. The food was average. After Agave Azule and chef Ramsey's show, it seems that all mexican foo...

Ok! So, I know I went for lunch and do not expect the lunch specials to be as great as the hibachi show. But I came away from this restaurant saying, "Damn I got ripped off!" I have gone into this place before and was not greeted; sat at the bar; and afer ordering I sat for 22 minutes waiting on the leftovers. I left! I tried again because I thought this place, "Had to be good!" I come in today @ 12:02 and the bar is full of bottles; which means that this space is not open yet. The gree...

Now I am new to Indian food so I only have one other place in Atlanta to compare it too. But I can say this as I venture out to eat new dishes. I bought a coupon for 13 dollars that allowed 30 dollars of food. The outside of the place is not too inviting. I am glad that the parking lot was open and all the cops were eating at the pizza place next door. Just looked like a poor area. After I arrived I was not greated by anyone. The woman at the door was working on filling a to go order f...

I am going on 3 visits now.
Being a bartender I like to sit at the bar. The first time I came in I had to wait on a loud spanish speaking lady talking to guy at the bar blocking the only 2 seats available. I had to stand and wait for her to finish her entire conversation before I could sit down. Then she was so loud and obnoxious I had to later move down 2 more seats. I later figured out that this is the owner.
From my bartender's POV.
Generally the bar looks clean and well stocked. I do ...
