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.
