Here are the best Atlanta sports bars to watch the NBA playoffs.
STATS Brewpub
300 Marietta St NW, Atlanta, GA 30313, (404) 885-1472The go-to sports bar in downtown Atlanta, STATS is a short walk from the Omni, CNN Center and College Football Hall of Fame. Inside the brewpub, customers can try their hand at tabletop beer taps and exquisite food with screens all around to watch the NFL playoffs.One Google reviewer says: “This place was incredible! Service was excellent, food was amazing! There were so many delicious looking things on the menu that my waitress had to help me out with a recommendation. I’m glad I listened to her, the BBQ Brisket Burger was out of this world. The fries were really good too. And then she talked me into getting the key lime pie, it was every bit as good as everything else was. I will definitely go back whenever I’m in Atlanta again.”The U Bar
3515 Camp Creek Pkwy #50-70, East Point, GA 30344, (404) 349-2301The premiere sports bar at Camp Creek, the U Bar features cool music, wings specials in a club environment that is packed on the weekends.One Google reviewer says: “Pretty lit. Moreso a place to socialize, eat and watch games. Music was good . You can dance but Its not a club. Hoped this helped. Oh and 10 for women 20 for me. I heard they have good wings.”Popular party spot with sports, DJs & dancing, with drink specials & a full menu for dining.The Tavern
3560 Camp Creek Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30344, (404) 349-9285The Tavern, known as Camp Creek’s OTHER sports bar, has events almost every weekday night, including karaoke, drink specials and more.One Google reviewer says: “The lemon pepper and hot mixed wings are AMAZING. I also enjoy their karaoke nights which are live and many patrons participate so it makes me feel okay because I can’t sing to save my life. I’d definitely recommend checking them out on Wednesday night and enjoy the atmosphere.”Hudson Grille
942 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, (404) 892-0892Hudson Grille has three locations in Atlanta, one downtown, one in Midtown and the other one in Brookhaven. Huge TV screens at every turn and good food make this one of the best Atlanta sports bars to enjoy the game.One Google reviewer says: “Food is always great along with service and overall atmosphere. I personally come here frequently during football season because it is home to Raven Nation South, located in the upstairs area of the bar. I love the sports atmosphere that Hudson Grill provides.”Yard House
261 19th St NW #1100, Atlanta, GA (404) 815-8990Thanks to an awesome Midtown location (there’s another one at The Battery next to SunTrust Park) and above-average beverage program, Yard House at Atlantic Station has a devoted following among sports fans. The stylish sports bar’s patio is a great people-watching spot and the burgers, steaks and tacos on the menu make this place a must-visit to watch the NFL playoffs.
One Google reviewer says: “Happening place with excellent food! You just can’t go wrong with Yard House. We visit Atlanta every year at Christmas time, and Yard House has become a family tradition. The menu is extensive and everything we’ve tried has been delicious! They have an excellent Happy Hour … that includes a HUGE selection of 1/2 price appetizers. I think we have literally ordered everything on the happy hour menu! You can’t beat the price!”
Topgolf
1600 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, (404) 475-4000Topgolf caters not to the golf fan so much, but the sports fan. With flat-screen TVs at every station, you can swing clubs or sit back and enjoy your game when you want it. Inside at the bar, you can see multiple screens from several vantage points while you eat and drink.
One Google reviewer says: “This is a really fun place for all age groups. If golf is not your thing, they also offer table tennis or ping pong upstairs and pool tables downstairs. The putting area is spacious. Of course it is outdoors, but they offer large heat lamps directly over the seating area. There are two levels to the seating area. The first is a high bar with chairs. The second is a u-shaped outdoor sofa with a center table. All food and drink orders can be placed from your bay. For each game, each player gets 20 chances to “put the ball in the hole”. You can take all 20 swings in a row or rotate players as you’d like. If you aren’t interested in playing any of the game options, you can also dine in or have a round at the bar. Enjoy!”
Taco Mac
933 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, (678) 904-7211With eight locations in Atlanta, including in Midtown on Peachtree and in Dunwoody, Taco Mac is a sports fan’s favorite place to watch the NBA playoffs or any sports event.

Waffle House is a home away from home for many customers who enjoy great food without all the bells and whistles. If you’re in Atlanta, you know there’s a Waffle House on nearly every interstate exit, but how does the food taste?
We’ve sourced some food reviews from real Waffle House customers so that you can read for yourself how people feel about Waffle House.
TripAdvisor: Best Waffle House reviews in Atlanta
It’s true, there’s a Waffle House on nearly every major interstate exit in Atlanta. It was designed that way, traveling through the South, visitors keen on a warm cup of coffee and hot food can see those yelllow-trimmed Waffle Houses a mile away and get a quick meal.
Here are some of the better Atlanta Waffle House reviews as posted on TripAdvisor and Google.
Atlanta Waffle House review: 839 Virginia Ave, Hapeville, GA 30354
View this post on InstagramOne reviewer says: “The staff in this store was fantastic. After TWO terrible issues with the other locations on Virginia, it was refreshing to go into a Waffle House where the staff actually cared.
The two ladies serving and the guy cooking were very polite and professional.
This is the ONLY location on Virginia Ave. that I will ever go to again.”
Atlanta Waffle House: 1674 W E Washington Rd, East Point, GA 30344 (404) 766-3955
View this post on Instagram
One Google reviewer says: “This location was recently torn down and rebuilt so everything is shiny new, including the attitudes. Expanded parking, great service, clean and new with all the standard WH favs… what’s not to love?”Atlanta Waffle House: 860 Glenwood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316
One reviewer says: “Very friendly staff and great cooks. Its a newly built waffle house, so it’s seem to cleaner than most. As most Waffle House locations, it can get pretty rachet after 1:30am …when clubs and bars close, they’re extremely busy.”
Atlanta Waffle House review: 4346 Fulton Industrial Blvd SW, Atlanta, GA 30336
One reviewer says: “The place was very clean but the waitress messed up or orders and wanted to argue with us about it. The cook came over to apologize for the confusion . He made the experience worth the trip. All in all not the worst but with out that cook I would not venture out to it again. Knowing he works there I might give it another shot some other day. Politeness and accountability go a long way in my book.”
Atlanta Waffle House: 66 5th St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308
One reviewer says: “This waffle House serves the waffles which are TO DIE FOR. I went here after my birthday dinner with my friends and their waffles were ALL ANYONE COULD TALK ABOUT! From the variety of DELICIOUS flavors to server’s attentiveness and lovable personalities , there’s no reason not to visit this place for your next event!”
Atlanta Waffle House: 135 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30303
View this post on InstagramOn TripAdvisor reviewer said this: “I’ve heard of and seen numerous Waffle House’s while travelling. It seems to be primarily a Southeastern US chain; there are none in California. I suppose it is similar to the Denny’s or IHOP brands in California, although this Waffle House I visited was smaller and skankier than any Denny’s or IHOP’s I’ve been to. Still, if famed Southern chef Sean Brock takes Anthony Bourdain to Waffle House on the latter’s eponymous TV show, I figure it’s worth a try.
“There were 2 Waffle Houses within walking distance to my downtown hotel. This was the closer one. It’s gritty. There are a few tables and booths, plus 2 small counters (one high, one low) facing the open kitchen. All surfaces are hard and hopefully disinfectable. While I was there, the cement-floored kitchen was literally being hosed down with a garden hose (there is a floor drain). The restrooms, which I did not use, seem to be frequented by folks who aren’t eating here and perhaps don’t have a place to call home. If Atlanta had health inspection letter grades posted on restaurant windows (as is customary and required in Los Angeles), this Waffle House grade surely would NOT be an “A”. I opted to order my food to go.”
2. 1701 Northside Dr NW, Ste A, Atlanta, GA 30318-2674
View this post on InstagramOne TripAdvisor reviewer says: “I used to travel to Georgia a lot to visit a friend and that is where I was introduced to Waffle House, that staple of the south. My friend indoctrinated me to Waffle House early on. As a New Yorker, its like walking on to an alien space ship…. Hard to imagine eating there. But eat I have. Many times. Other than the harsh lighting, cockroaches on the counter, greasy incredibly-unhealthy food, and the local “atmosphere”…. it’s a cheap meal. That’s the best I can say and I will leave it at that. — So cheap that when we once left a $5 tip, the waitress ran out to the parking lot to thank us as we were leaving. I guess she never got a $5 tip before?
I’ve brought other New Yorkers in to Waffle Houses in other places and they refused to eat in there. Clearly, expansion in to New York will not be happening any time soon.”
3. 300 Marietta St NW, Suite 104, Atlanta, GA 30313
View this post on InstagramThe food was good and reasonably priced. The pecan waffles were amazing!!!! The service was just ok, we had to ask for drinks and refills several times.
It’s only about a block from the Georgia Aquarium / World of Coca-Cola.
Note: Do NOT try to order pancakes at a Waffle House. They do NOT appreciate it. 🙂 I would go there again.”
4. 1700 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318-3114
View this post on InstagramOne TripAdvisor reviewer said: “This was my first time eating at Waffle House and i am a fan now. The hype is true and my only complaint is that i took so long to dine there. The staff was great, service was great. Only issue i had was that the dinning area was not as clean as it should be.
5. 3735 Roswell Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30342-4414
View this post on InstagramOne TripAdvisor commenter said this: “This is the best thing you can get… the Fiesta Omelet, add mushrooms, the has browns scattered smothered diced peppered and capped, wheat toast and a large chocolate milk! You won’t be disappointed!”
Final Word
There are few places as well known and prominent in Atlanta than Waffle House. As Waffle House reviews go, you won’t find any extravagant praises or over-the-top commendations, after all, it’s Waffle House.
But what you will find is food made with heart. And that’s what many people desperately desire today. The yellow-trimmed eatery worked its way to popularity by first serving customers in a greasy house-setup in Avondale Estates in Decatur’s shadow.
Now it is one of the greatest American breakfast institutions ever created. And as much as we think we know and appreciate the place, there are tons of insights we can learn about the House from other people.

One reviewer said this: “I seldom leave reviews. But this place deserves one! I was super skeptical about eating here, but I wanted gator bites so we decided to go with it. Honestly, really glad I did. The gator bites were cooked perfectly, but they’re tossed in some kinda sweet/spicy tangy sauce. It was good, but honestly could’ve skipped out on that, just personal preference. My finance ordered the bourbon salmon BLT which was absolutely divine & perfectly cooked!
“My black & bleu burger (asked for medium rare) on the other hand was extremely undercooked, literally raw, seems like only the outside was seared. But I showed my waitress who was extremely kind, & she was very apologetic & had the cook whip me up a new one to go, since I was already full. Overall, the experience was amazing, They deserve 5-stars! The burger was a mistake, & it was corrected. No need to deduct or let it effect the rating. We’re all human, we make mistakes! If you’re thinking about eating here, don’t be skeptical, go for it because you won’t be disappointed. We left happy & full, will definitely be returning!”

Believe or not, but relatively few people know about Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu. What do you know about it?
This article is going to show you some items on Chick-fil-A’s secret menu. If you’re familiar with Dwarf House, the original Chick-fil-A, the secret food menu is something you know all about.
Chick-fil-A is part and parcel made of red Georgia clay. This is indisputable ever since a small eatery called the Dwarf Grille opened right under Atlanta’s nose in tiny Hapeville, Georgia back in 1946. Since then millions have become loyal fans of the restaurant known for the bad-spelling cows singing how to “Eat More Chiken.”
What’s On Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu?
How do you get to see Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu? You generally can’t be the drive-thru — these are dine-in options only. And you’ve got to ask (be nice) one of the workers. That’s how you’ll get to try some of these awesome secret recipes via Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu.
Spicy Chicken And Egg Biscuit
The Spicy Chicken and Egg Biscuit is something you’ll never see on the Chick-fil-A menu, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have it.
How To Order It: Just tell the cashier that you want to add egg to your Chicken Biscuit.
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is what you get when you ask for hot sauce on your Chicken Sandwich. The way they do it is just great.
The Double Decker Sandwich
The Double Decker Sandwich is one that very few Chick-fil-A servers can master. But for those that do, it’s a great treat.
Chicken Quesadilla
Chicken Quesadillas aren’t something you’d normally think would be served at Chick-fil-A, but this food item is so good that it should be added officially.
Spicy Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich
We all know that chicken is Chick-fil-A’s thing, so this Spicy Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich is a specialty that is right up their alley.
The Double Double Down
Special shoutout to the Instagram accounts @nocatsgotluv4me and @pass_the_salt and @hack_themenu for their endeavors in the world of secret menus. Check them all out for more food hacks.
How Do You Order From Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu?
Chick-fil-A’s secret menu can be ordered by asking an employee for some of the options available. That means you can substitute turkey for chicken on the chicken sandwich. That means you can add hot sauce to your chicken tenders. You can also get an assortment of sauces applied to your Waffle Fries.
Final Word
If you’ve ever been to Chick-fil-A, you may know that those delicious chicken biscuits or waffle fries can be ordered a number of ways. One reason why is because Chick-fil-A has a secret menu.
There are so many good things to eat at Chick-fil-A. You can also try the restaurant’s Little Blue Menu.

Here is what one reviewer says about Grand China: “I just ate here for the first time today and the food was delicious. I didn’t deserve it. I couldn’t get the food inside my mouth fast enough. The Green curry chicken dish was amazing. I would definitely recommend!”Gu’s Dumplings

Here’s what one reviewer says about Gu’s Dumplings inside Krog Street Market. “My second time to Gu’s and I’m still impressed. I wish I had a bigger stomach to try it all. The dumplings are classic and delicious with flavors true to China spice. The crispy beef was slightly underwhelming. The portion size was too small for a shareable plate. Will be returning for the dumps ASAP!”Hans Express
2345 Cascade Rd SW, Atlanta, GA 30311 | (404) 755-2807
Here is what a reviewer says about Hans Express: “Han’s is a simple place situated in southwest Atlanta. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the servings are large. My wife and I can typically get two meals from from both the lunch and dinner sized portions. I’ve certainly had better Chinese food, but Han’s is very good and is one of my favorites in Atlanta. I’m not a big fan of the plain fried rice, but for $1.50 more you can upgrade to pork fried rice. In addition, the wings are small but are very much worth the low price.”

The staff was courteous and patient given the large number of people in line (they are only doing take out orders at this time). Located in a shopping plaza so parking was plentiful. Wait time was reasonable – great location so I will definitely go back.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Malaya Restaurant: “Chinese food… very delicious. Don’t fret if it’s busy, it is worth the wait. The staff was very helpful and observant. It has a great interior. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.”

Are you in the mood for some orange juice and champagne?
This article will show you some of the best places to get bottomless mimosas in Atlanta.
Why Are Mimosas So Popular?
You may think a concoction with orange juice as its primary ingredient wouldn’t have the magnetic effect it has on the brunch crowd, but mimosas are not your average adult beverage.
Drink lore has it that mimosas became popular a short distance from Ellis Island in New York as European immigrants bought their customs, cultures, and yes, mimosas, to America. The mimosa experience spread up and down the East Coast before branching out west.
Today the tasty drink is a mainstay at brunches across the Western world, including here in Atlanta.

The manager, Chris, spoke with us frequently, gave us recommendations, and made our experience even more enjoyable. This restaurant is the definition of Southern Hospitality.

They made sure we got our money’s worth! The food was delicious. We all got a different plate from the brunch menu and loved it. They definitely add something extra to the waffles that make them taste better than normal. The whole table agreed on that. The French toast and the breakfast sandwich were also top tier. The brunch specialty drinks were amazing and our server was top notch about drink recommendations. I will definitely be return soon! Sorry, about the chicken and waffle photo. I started eating my chicken before I took and photo and almost didn’t want to stop for the photo.”

It was a great vibe and I was a little early so I snagged a table for one. Service was awesome, and so were the mimosas and hookah. Second time, I just went out for a night drink, but caught great vibes with random people; we bonded over the music. Finally today; this was the best time I visited. The service was great and so was the chicken and beef gumbo. I brought a friend from out of town and the restaurant perfectly described the vibe of our city, my home.”
Fin & Feathers
360 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312 | (678) 705-5757

The hookah and the DJ was the highlight of the entire afternoon. The bottomless mimosas were good (I recommend the peach mimosas). I ordered my steak medium and it came out well-done so that’s was a bummer. But I had some of the waffle and home fries which were amazing.”
