First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .

We had a great experience at TWO urban licks. The food was delicious, everything starter and main were right on. The Briskets are a must and the calamari and pork belly wraps are so good! Our waitress Morgan was awesome, she was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The staff were also on point. Our water was always being replenished and our table was always getting cleaned. We highly recommend and will be returning.

Bones once again proves it’s the best steakhouse in the entire Southeastern US. 5 star service accompanied by the highest quality, tastiest food. Our party of 5 each had steaks. Each one was perfectly prepared, tender and melted in our mouths. The corn soufflé, Mac n cheese & spinach sides were on point as usual. The warm pecan pie for dessert was a show stopper. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

This was my last day coming to Atlanta and I’m so glad I chose this restaurant to end the night with I ordered the farm house burger. It was so good from a rate from 1-15 I would say it’s a 11. I say that because I put fried hard egg on it. Now I have to come back and try again and more . The service was really good. I will comeback.
