    We arrived early, before the evening rush, and still had issues receiving our food in a timely manner. Our reservation was at 6:00p for a party of 6. The 6th person received her food at 7:00p. The platform required to place an order didn’t work for 1/2 of our party. The server was inconsistent in following up with us for drink/water refills or additional drink orders. The automatic 18% gratuity + $5.00 entertainment fee exceeded what I would have paid to reflect my satisfaction with the service and food. #Disappointed

    The food and service were great, but the prices and extra fees made it feel like the business is greedy. Overall, it was a great one time experience. Not a place I'd frequent often.

    Sweet Georgia's Juke JointResponded on May 25, 2023Thank you for your feedback, we do offer an 18% automatic gratuity for our staff (which is standard); and a minimal entertainment fee is applied in order to continue to provide our guests with a unique live music experience while dining with us. If there are any service issues we are always more than happy to address the gratuity that is added to the dinner bill. We do hope that you return again and have a wonderful time with us!

    The service was quick. Fried chicken and starter plate were delicious! Had the peach moonshine drink, which was just fruity enough. The music videos were entertaining. Long day of travel, so I didn't stay for the entertainment. Gratuity is included in your bill as it adds up.

    Sweet Georgia's Juke JointResponded on May 25, 2023Thank you so much for the 5-star review! Whenever your travels bring you back downtown, we do hope that you come and see us again.

    The experience was horrible. The waiter got our drink order wrong and consistently got everything wrong including food orders. Kept apologizing but never got better. Food was cold, burgers were burnt, food not prepared like menu stated. Don't waste your time or money. Not worth it. It has drastically changed from the old Juke Joint before COVID.

    I was very disappointed in the food, service and entertainment. I have been to juke joint more than once a few years back and it was never like this. The entertainment the Sat before mother's day was not great. It was not exciting to watch nor did the singer or the band have the energy I was hoping for. The images on the slide show behind the band looked like it was from a home going funeral service. the food took 45 mins to come out and it packed flavor and salt. Dessert took another 35 mins to come out so we regretted even ordering it. The service was slow and the waitress was not the most pleasant at all. I was definitely disappointed as I brought my mother and MIL to celebrate mother days. We all agreed the food lacked flavor and salt. If everything was great I wouldnt have minded the money spent but it wasn't worth it. The entire place was just kinda dead and not exciting like it's been the times I visited in the past. I will not be returning.

    Sweet Georgia's Juke JointResponded on May 25, 2023We appreciate your feedback, and your comments. We do provide a slide show for all of our bands while they perform, as well as music videos and various visuals, keeping in line with our Juke Joint atmosphere. We offer a variety of bands, and post our calendar on our website so that our guests can get an overview of the bands performing for specific evenings. Your concerns with the food and service will be addressed with our team as we strive to provide excellent food and entertainment.

    Worst service I've experienced in years. Ask for water refill, took 45 minutes. Waitress was invisible after putting the food down, until she came to half-clear the table before dessert. Messy plates stayed on the table and dessert never came. When we flagged other wait staff, they didn't come over. No, were were not rude people. Just very disappointed. The band was pretty good and the singer, God bless, was doing his best, but the music was way too loud. I would never recommend this tourist trap to anyone. Which is a shame because it was some of the BEST fried chicken and smothered pork chops I've ever had, ever.

    I enjoyed celebrating my b’day at your restaurant with such good music and service…..BUT, the cost of a drink ($20) for a glass of Long Island Ice Tea… AND the entertainment fee of ($10) for ea person is too much. THEN on top of that, I had to pay $20 to PARK! I’d like to return, but with these prices, it’ll be awhile til I can afford to😞.

    We visited on Sat at 4p. Impersonal, online ordering, especially for 1st time visitors. Mediocre food. No live music until 7pm. As white patrons arrived, the music was changed to the "Jekyll Island" location playlist which included the Beetles and Carly Simon. Where is the juke joint music!?!? Unfortunately, I did not drive, so I could not leave! Very disappointing birthday dinner!

    Sweet Georgia's Juke JointResponded on May 7, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We offer a wide variety of music for ALL of our guests to enjoy. Our bands also, play a variety of covers and songs that we hope everyone can relate to reminiscent of Midtown and all the great familiar hits.

    Overall love the live music and food is good but FYI they charge $5 per person entertainment fee. They do let you know when you check in though and the fee is not hidden. We had the catfish app that was really good. The salmon was a nice size and enjoyed the Brussels. My mojito was actually good hard to find a decent mojito Downtown Atlanta and this one lived up to its name! One draw back is the way you order your food from your phone even though they have waitresses . It makes it less personable and downgrades to me to that of a quick serve establishment. Nonetheless I would definitely come back.

    Just awkward, so I make a reservation for 7:15 for 3. We get there at about 6:55, we check in with the hostess and she says we cant seat you until your reservation time, which is fine, but an odd way to say your table isn't ready. Anyway, then we notice no one leaves and nobody else is seated. Then at exactly 7:15, we are lead back to our table which obviously was open the entire time along with a ton other tables. So then we sit down and the hostess points at a bar code sticker on the table to order our drinks, food and pay with no other information on how to use it. We all three open the app and proceed to order food and drinks individually on our phones, only to find out at the end they had the option to pay or leave the tab open. Well, we were on business and wanted to pay one bill, not three. So the waitress comes out with water and we ask her how we are suppose to have one check, she says to order on one phone, not three. So there we are cancelling our individual orders, then passing one phone around to order our meals and drinks. We finally place the order, and then the food comes out separately about 5 minutes apart from each other. I had ordered a starter gumbo and it came out after my meal with no spoon. We also had to grab our own silverware, napkins, salt, and pepper off another table near by (after the first meal was delivered). I also asked for some hot sauce for my gumbo and she brought it out about 5 minutes later. After we finished with our meals and drinks, we closed out, it asked if I wanted an email or text receipt? I chose email, but never got one so I asked the waitress if I could get a copy of the receipt since I didn't get the email. She had to get a manager to get me a copy which took another 10 minutes. On the good side, the food was good and they had live entertainment which was also good.

    There is an entertainment fee for each person, menu is through a QR code and the patron places the order online and the waitress brings the food out. Portions are average. 18% gratuity is added for Al purchases at the bar and table. There is a two hour table limit regardless of how busy the restaurant is for the evening.

    Honestly for a 100 tab, I think it's wild that I have to use a QR code order my own food. While I understand there is an entertainment fee, if the band takes a break for most of the time I am dining, am I being entertained? The plates all remained at the table none were removed between courses. Little strange for the price. I like to support people of color so hey I did my part.

    I took my friend there for her birthday. The parking location was too far from the restaurant. The ambience and the vibe was nice. The band that was playing was pretty good but they kept taking 30 minute breaks after every three songs so we really didnt get to enjoy them. The waiter was very attentive but we really didnt order much because we were still full from brunch earlier. I did order some wings and a peach martini which were pretty good.

    I was very eager and excited to bring my husband to this place. Being that it was his first time visiting Atlanta I made this restaurant one of the top 5 places to definitely take him to. I made sure to book a reservation a few days in advance. When we arrived (6pm) they sat us all the way upfront in front of the band stage. I asked if we can move back be seated at one of the tables on the side to be more comfortable. I was told that they had been “reserved” by other people. I was confused with that statement because I too made reservations, on the restaurants’s website and no where did it have a “pick your table in advance” section. We were there at 6pm and only three other tables were occupied at the time. It should have been a first come first serve with reservations especially with a two hour seating limit. Again, I really wanted my husband to enjoy this place as I had about five years ago so we stayed. Now the food…I ordered their “signature” fried chicken entree and I was extremely dissatisfied. The chicken had absolutely no seasoning!! Not even a hint of salt. My husband tasted a piece and agreed there was no flavor. It had been fried perfectly but not seasoned. The only thing I enjoyed off my entree was the Mac-n-cheese. My husband had the barbecue ribs that were seasoned but a little dry. Our waitress Lakendra was great. We know a lot of things have changed due to the pandemic and grace is needed maybe this is how it’s going to be from here on. I would have loved to give this place a 5 but I cannot with this experience . We left around 8:30 and there were still empty tables on the side that we could have been seated at.
