   The food and service were excellent. The ambience of the place and man that played were extremely good. Harley recommended for for those who want to eat and listen to good music.

   I ordered the fried chicken and it was bland no flavor at all. I’m very surprised because this is a soulfood restaurant. My server was not very attentive (maybe he was new) hopefully, but he was nice. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and the entertainment. I would come back but I would order something else.

   This place has changed when it comes to ordering from your table. Every time we come into town, we usually make a reservation for a work event. Juke Joint has changed their ordering service. One person scans a QR code and the table has to pay with one card for the entire table. If you have multiple checks at a table, each person has to scan the code and order their own food separately. THIS doesn’t work very well. You have to order everything at once, as well. In other words, you have to order your appetizer, your entrée, all your drinks, and your desserts at once. Once you close, you cannot open without opening another tab. Food comes out at different times, based on the order it was placed. So, some of our table received their food and finished their entire meal before others got their meals, so we were not able to eat together. Many food items were forgotten or came out in different order…Not quite sure how this is supposed to work. We, as many people visiting from out of town, like to order and pay with multiple cards . Also, gratuity is included? Gratuity is earned, not deserved. Not very happy with this new process and not sure if we will be back. Whoever thought of this idea, should rethink…

   Service was horrible. Noticeably understaffed! Restaurant was not crowded and we waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for our food to come to table. When food arrived, it was initially taken to table next to us but once in front of us, we had to send salmon back because it was burnt. We also sent the shrimp and grits back because it was brought out cold. Manager attempted to accommodate but to no avail because other patrons had complaints also. Several patrons left because service was horrible. Will never patronize establishment again.

   I took my husband to Sweet Georgias Juke Joint for Father’s Day brunch. The Waiters were Very unorganized. Our food arrived cold after waiting about 45min-1hour. Our drink glasses were not refilled. The band was very good. I’d go back to give them another try in the future.

   We had a 1230pm reservation and arrived at 1215pm on Sunday. The service began well after placing our order. We received our drinks. The food order was incomplete upon delivery and it took a long time to get the items that we ordered. We continued to order desert and more drinks and they took even longer. They need more servers at busy times. The place became very crowded and I gave up on it working out. We eventually got everything but it was once we were ready to leave. The music was incredible.

    I didn’t enjoy the experience at all. The food was very bland in taste, the point of sales system didn’t work therefore the attendee, who rarely came to the table had to place our order. It took 20 minutes to get drinks that weren’t mixed, a glass of wine and beer. To top it off, there’s an 18% automatic gratuity for a 2% dining experience in which I normally tip at least 20% minimum but I would have tipped lower than the 18% here. Don’t waste your time or money.

    Had a reservation and it took a long time to be seated while waiting in a hot, stuffy vestibule. Sent my order in and after another long wait my desert was set at my table before my entree. Entertainment was good as always.

    Everything was great about this place. It’s a great place for a date, to hang out with friends, or just come to hear good music. The only I did not like were the drinks. They were very weak. Don’t waste your money. Just get a water or soda.

    Nice place to watch live music. The food is a bit pedestrian, but it works. Grits and Shrimp had a lot going on, but it worked from a flavor perspective. The gumbo was flavorful, but doesn't deliver on the seafood that they say is in it. It has the flavor, just not the meat. The prices weren't bad. They even validate parking which was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely go back.

    We had a 745 reservation, they were so short staffed we didn't get seated until 840. The reason was that 3 people had quit that day and 2 called off. They did give us each one free drink but I don't ever have to go back.

    It was cool and something different and fun. The food was good and the staff was friendly. However, you do order on your phone so make sure your order went through or you will be waiting on your food for much longer. The band was good and we had a good time. The most important thing is do not arrive more than 5 mins late. They will give your reservations away. It does state a 15 minute grace period but don't count on that. They will not hold your table.

    Made a reservation a week in advance for 7:00pm. Arrived at 6:45pm was told it would be a 10 min wait. No problem. Here’s the problem at 8:00pm still wasn’t seated was told because we are a party of 2 and they only had table of 4’s at the moment we had to wait! Needless to say we ended up sitting with another couple who also were a party of 2 who also had a 7pm reservation and were waiting! At least we met a new couple that was friendly! Food was out fast but cold. This place is only good for the atmosphere! Regina Troupe was the best part of the night!!!! If it was not for her we would have left!! Would recommend for music not food and please stop taking reservations!!

    3 of the 6 meals had to be returned. One order was cold, one was burnt and to tough to eat and the third was wrong. The remaining 3 meals were fair at best. The wait staff did their best to bring the new orders out quickly; but the chicken dinners were not much better the second time. The second burger was better, but came with cold fries. The live entertainment was good.

    I have been to Sweet Georgia's Juke Joint a few times and since they have reopened it's not the same. The drinks were watered down, cornbread was hard and my friend chicken was fried a little too long. The new menu with the QR code and payment option is horrible. I kept getting a message stating that "something went wrong" as if my payment could not be processed. I checked my account and they charged me anyway after my mother paid.

    I always take my out of town friends and family there during their stay in ATL and this was no exception. The difference was that this time they commented on the new ordering and payment system in place and likened it to going to Mickey D”s and Burger King. This definitely left us with a bad taste which was truly unfortunate. Always recommend SGJJ to my friends and family but since the changes will need to carefully consider who these changes might offend.

    I visited this establishment prior to the pandemic and loved it. I was saddened to learn that it didn't open up when other establishments returned in the aftermath of the pandemic. Once my fiance decided to celebrate his 55th birthday in Atlanta I looked and was happy to see that SGJJ was back!! Made my reservation, arrived on time 6/3/22 @7:55 p.m. and everything went downhill from there :((( Had to wait 30+ minutes to be seated. Once we were seated, we were greeted and explained how to order from app. We ordered. After waiting 30+ more minutes, no water, no drinks, no silverware.. the entree was delivered and still no water, no drinks, no silverware. At this point, I waved down a young male waitress and he apologized and said they would get everything to us. 20 more minutes and nothing. At this point we're just ready to leave and try to get dinner elsewhere. The waitress apologized again and said he would get manager to void the bill. No we did not eat any of the food because we still have nothing to eat with, nor anything to drink. Waited 10 more minutes and no one except for the lead singer stopped by the table. Needless to say, we just left and to our blessing.. The Little Alley Steakhouse in Buckhead was still open and had the absolute BEST FOOD/SERVICE EVER!!!

    The service was not as good as it used to be. They have you scan a barcode to see menu and order. You never knew exactly who was your server. It took 20 minutes just to get a class of water. The personal service aspect is gone. What if I did not have a smart phone, or wanted to pay by cash. Improvement needs to start there.

    Our server, Sky or Sklyer, absolutely ruined this experience for us. She was not patient when explained how to order for the entire table on one Yam using the scanner feature. She rolled her eyes at us multiple times, even after we asked if she cooks be more polite. Another server ended up confirming and delivering our order, but never returned. Our initial server, came at the end, cleared our table, brought desert for our daughter who was earning her master degree all to earn the mandatory included 18% gratuity… Super unacceptable. The band was awesome as was your other staff, and we are so very sad this server ruined this visit in from CA for us. Do better.

    How about the same flavor Italian seasoning blend strong of oregano. The Mac n' cheese was not eatible because of the strong seasoning. The burger had the same Italian blend seasoning. Even the fried chicken had this seasoning! Very disappointed.
