    We came on June 28 during the rain storm. Parking was crazy, but once we came in through the kitchen it was crazier 😆. Nevertheless, the owner and the staff were AWESOME!!! They gave us napkins and seated us all while trying to clear out all the water in the building. Food was ordered and came out surprisingly quick and good. Our waiter Justin was so kind and we will definitely be back.

    Omg, I decided to try Agave for my birthday this year and it did not disappoint. It was a party of eight and everyone raved about their meals. I had the filet and flash fried lobster tail and my meal came out hot and the filet was the perfect temperature and seasoned to perfection. Other favorites included the Crawfish pasta, Wagyu burger and the Enchilada. Even the salsa and chips were perfect! I’ll return soon and highly recommend.

    We had a server Justin who was not attentive considering he only had two tables. Was not very personable. The food wasn’t as good this time either.

    Reginald, I appreciate your patronage and truly wish things were perfect for you last night! I will definitely follow up with the staff and Justin today! Please don't hesitate to let one of the owners or managers on duty know what is occurring at the facility as we really want to wow you while you are there!! Thanks so much!!!

    Their house made salsa and chips are so good, they’re addictive! We also ordered their delicious guacamole, always a treat! I tried the Southwestern Salad for the first time, it was amazing. My boyfriend had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. He ate every bite and really enjoyed it. I’ve been going regularly to Agave since spring 2003, love everything I’ve ever eaten there.

    I've gone to Agave for 20+ years. Recently my impression has been that the quality and quantity of their food has suffered. I laugh when servers ask me if it's my first time there. I've been going to Agave longer than many of the servers have been out of diapers .
    AgaveResponded on June 16, 2025
    Murray, You would be surprised how many first timers still come in after almost 25 years of being in business! Over the last year, I have improved the quality and size of everything from our tomatoes to our shrimp and have added an extra lamb chop to the plate while being extremely price competitive in Atlanta. We also have improved on our entire management team and we truly care about everyone leaving happy, so if you ever need anything fixed or adjusted, just ask! Chef / Owner Jack

    Everything about our date night at Agave was perfect! From the perfectly mixed margaritas to our pork chops and flat iron steak entrees, all were expertly prepared and served. You can see how beautiful the dishes are in these photos. And the sides! Oh boy, I could make a meal out of the sides alone. We were too stuffed to even look at desert, but we will next time.

    Great classic place to dine in Atlanta. Close to all the action, in an artsy neighborhood. Great cocktails, delicious food, and friendly service. I haven’t been here in maybe 18years, and I was so happy to see them continue the quality.
