The pub frites rank with the best in the city, accompanied by side sauces ranging from a brown peppercorn gravy that really grows on you to an immediately tasty pepper mayo perfect for dipping. Read more

They have a great patio, great open and refreshing atmosphere here. Their cocktails are quite refreshing, changes according to season, and only uses fresh juices. I'd say more in the medium cost zone.

The frites with garlic aioli are so yummy. We got the burger with broccoli salad & the quarter chicken with cheese grits & mushrooms—so delicious. Good covid protocols & comfortable outdoor seating.

Rightly located on Leon's "Classics" cocktail list, bartender Miles Macquarrie makes his Sazerac with high-strength Rittenhouse rye whiskey, Peychaud's bitters, sugar, and Herbsaint Legendre. Read more

I enjoy the roast beef sandwich. Its an open face sandwich with pulled beef and a little onion quich type casserole. I get both dips, the one that comes with the sandwich and an au Jiu.

Innocuous-sounding dish: "hot & sour georgia shrimp, carolina gold rice, scallions" = spiciest creation in any American/regional restaurant in Georgia. Mindblowing flavor, wicked spice. You're warned.
Marcelo EstradaFebruary 22, 2015
Excellent drinks at the bar.... Will have to come back and try the good, but looks promising. Their Gin selection is excellent!

Great staff and service. The "pub frites" are a must have, but they are very filling - so chose wisely with the entrée.

Customer service was out of this world!! So attentive and kind. Place was a bit overpriced, but overall a good time. I had the lamb.
Stephanie VallishJuly 14, 2013
Fabulous food, beer and great knowledgeable staff! They really know their stuff. I brought my dad who is a brewer and was really impressed with their service. Thanks Leon's!

Leon’s bartender Miles Macquarrie makes his Sazerac with high-strength Rittenhouse rye whiskey, Peychaud's bitters, sugar, and Herbsaint Legendre. Cross this off your CL 100 Dishes list! Read more

Lamb burger is moist and has a nice blend of sweet and tart sauces around it. The Brussel sprout gratin is a nice replacement for potato!
Todd WhiteAugust 23, 2014
Great spot for cocktails. Great beer but not known as one of the spots in the area with a huge beer list. But the ones they have are great!
Shelia SkinnerAugust 20, 2016
Fries with all the different dipping sauces, fried trout sandwich, lamb burger. The Dark & Stormy cocktail made with in house made ginger beer.

Try the Night Sailor - Campo de encanto pisco, banjs 5 island rum, lime, sweetened coconut milk, strawberry orgeat, lemongrass, awsome, perfect spring drink

Get the best Dark 'n' Stormy in town for just $5 whenever it's raining out! Seriously good - with awesome ice, too!

Every meal I've had here is delicious! Great cocktails! The burger is great as well as the fries. Try the goat cheese fondue dip!

Their hummus and chickpeas are delicious. Beef brisket sandwich was good also, but too flavor-packed for my taste. I am definitely going back again though. Hummus, yum.

In addition to the pub frites may we also recommend the brown bread with radishes, butter and sea salt? Read more

Fantastic food and drinks. Miles makes a mean cocktail. The brussel sprout hash is delish as is everything on the menu, especially the specials.

Ashley of Hiking in Stilettos says, “The ‘Gutter Pop’ is my favorite. Not to mention that the food is incredible. Definitely try the Brussels sprouts hash, any of the salads, and the flatbread.”
Rachel EubanksMay 21, 2015
I like the good 'ol burger and fries. Try a cocktail and sit at the bar for dinner if the wait is a bit long.

Peppadews (tiny red hot peppers) stuffed with goat cheese are ultimate in creamy/piquant contrast. Pig smorgas are gourmet version of toaster oven concoctions that "high" high schoolers might make. Read more

Best #procedure following I’ve seen all year!! Still friendly & great #service

Brisket sandwich and chickpeas with a 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon. A wonderful variety!
Jerrick HollowayMay 21, 2014
Awesome place! Great and Amazing drinks!! Definitely a place to visit frequently Staff is great! Get the Lead Belly.

The goat cheese stuffed peppadews are outstanding!
Remy EDecember 17, 2011
Death & Company is soooooooooooooo Good!!! I'm a sucker for Absinthe, but even if I wasn't I would be after trying this cocktail. Fantastic service at this place. Same goes for the food!!!

One of my all-time favorite Atlanta restaurants. You gotta have the bacon in a glass with peanut butter!

Do The Dew — try the pepadews stuffed with goat cheese. Comes with 8 bite-sized bits to share.
Imari SteeleAugust 15, 2014
The red hot shrimp is fantastic it is spicy though... Also the trout is prepared with a high level of skill.
Peter FennDecember 14, 2012
One of the most creative (and delicious) menus I've ever seen, and their selection of unique mixed drinks is to die for.
GourmetLiveOctober 18, 2010
From roasted cashews flavored with bourbon and bacon; bistro-inspired radishes and butter to crispy trout fillets drizzled with apricot vinaigrette, chef Eric Ottensmeyer knows how to have fun.

Try the Slow Roasted Beef Brisket, Black Peppercorn Gravy, Fried Onions, Served Open Faced - Looked Nom... Megan gets it every time, so must be Nom...

Awesome atmosphere. Great drink selection and food. Get the "bacon in glass" app. Make sure it's got the natural peanut butter with it. Trust me.
Deisha Oliver-MillarJuly 10, 2011
The menu is great, the sandwich I had melted in my mouth and the dessert . . . if you don't try the desserts you are missing out on a piece of mouth heaven.
Earl Belcher JrSeptember 7, 2017
Great atmosphere. Really good food. Bacon in a glass! Nice craft beer list.

The most attentive staff I have ever encountered. Great food & drinks...a must try! You'll be back.

Lots of gluten free options, including fries. Mussels can be modified to be GF, ask them to make the broth with wine instead of beer. Great food, drinks and service.
Bob St ClaireApril 11, 2018
Hipster. Good. Easy to overorder here, but you could say that about any Atlanta restaurant.
JulieMarch 1, 2015
This is the Cosmo Daisy. My new fav. Not too sweet, not too sour.
Elizabeth VarnerJuly 29, 2010
The wait can be intense but it's worth it. Start off with a cocktail while you wait at the bar or by the bocci court outside (can't go wrong with the Irish Grogg).

French fries, vegetarian menu, bbq tofu, brussels sprouts hash, cocktails, service
Shafina KhabaniJune 15, 2011
Try the warm chickpeas & cherry salad. It's a small, simple, and satisfying plate of comfort food paired well with a glass of (preferably red) wine.
James KiernanMay 5, 2019
Bacon and peanut butter to start. Trust me!! 🥓🥜

Exactly food and bar snacks. Deliciously strong cocktails and surprising craft beer selection

Get the Apple Crisp! The cheddar ice cream is way better than it sounds!
