Monterrey Mexican Grill & Bar 815 S Park St, Carrollton, GA 30117 🌮 Monterrey Mexican Grill & Bar – 4.1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ If you’re rolling through Carrollton on a Friday night and your stomach starts speaking fluent Spanish, Monterrey Mexican Grill & Bar is ready to translate. Let’s start with the important stuff: the avocado rolls. Listen… these weren’t just good. These were the “accidentally eat your friend’s last piece and pretend you didn’t know it was theirs” kind of good. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and packed with flavor. If avocado had a fan club, I’d be president after this visit. Easily the star of the table and absolutely worth ordering again. 🌟 The Pros Friendly staff – The kind of welcome that makes you feel like you’ve been coming there since 2008. Attentive service – Drinks refilled before you realize they’re low. Chips? Never empty. Speedy service – Friday night and the food still came out fast. No time to start questioning life choices. La...

Hibachi buffet | Atlanta, Ga Buford Hwy NE ⭐️⭐️⭐✨ (3.7 out of 5) — Hibachi Buffet | Atlanta, GA Hibachi Buffet is exactly what you expect when you hear the words “Chinese buffet”—and I mean that in both the comforting and slightly concerning ways. Let’s start with the wins. Seating is lightning-fast, which is perfect when your stomach is making decisions faster than your brain. The staff is friendly and keeps things moving, and the food selection is huge—so huge that you’ll need at least two laps before committing. Pricing is pretty standard for a buffet these days, around $25 per person with tip, and overall the place is fairly clean, which already puts it ahead of some buffet horror stories we won’t speak of. Now for the not-so-great. For a Chinese buffet, the chicken situation is… confusing. No General Tso’s, no orange chicken, no classics—just sesame chicken holding down the fort like it lost its coworkers. About half the food was barely warm, which makes you question whether it’s ...

⭐ 3.9 out of 5 Corner House Restaurant in Summerville is a solid go-to, especially if you’re on a lunch break and the clock is not your friend. The staff here deserves a shoutout—friendly, attentive, and efficient enough to get us in and out without feeling rushed. The dining area and restrooms were clean, which always earns bonus points, and the bar is huge—the kind of bar that makes you briefly consider canceling the rest of your day. The menu has something for just about everyone: salads, burgers, soups, and all the classic bar-food favorites. Prices landed right around $20 per person with tip, which feels reasonable for the variety and portion sizes. Now for the hiccup. The grilled chicken on the salad looked like it had been seared by the sun itself. The grill marks were burnt burnt, and unfortunately that char overpowered the entire salad and took the flavor down with it. A shame, because everything else was working in its favor. That said, my guests enjoyed their meals and had n...

Swig & Swine BBQ review | Summerville, SC 1990 Old Trolley Rd, Summerville, SC 29485 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4.4 out of 5 —  Swig & Swine is exactly what you hope for when you walk into a BBQ joint and catch that glorious meat’s been smoking all day aroma. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was clean, and the food came out quick—perfect timing right after the lunch rush when everyone’s happy and nobody’s hangry. The BBQ itself was very tasty and hit all the right notes you’d expect from a place that literally smokes their meats out back. And let’s talk about the coleslaw for a second—this wasn’t a side, this was a statement. Easily a 5/5 in the coleslaw category, which is harder to achieve than most people realize. Pricing is another win. Coming in under $20 per person with tip makes this spot feel like a solid value, especially for quality BBQ. Now, the only knock: portion sizes. They weren’t massive “roll-you-out-the-door” platters. I was full and satisfied, but if yo...
