Flip Burger Flip Burger where do I start. As a late graduation date with my ever food lusting girl friend we decided to give this burger establishment a try as a part of our burger journey. We were quickly seated on the patio to our liking and then proceeded to look at the menu as we waited for out server. While it took her a minute to get to us we were served well. We quickly ordered drinks and awaited out food. I hate mayo on anything at anytime, unless it is the chipotle mayo from this place. While I did not eat a lot of it I found myself dipping my burger into the mayo. The fries were good bt I don't know about the best in the world. They drinks were well and tasty which I appreciated. While my girl friend is stuck on yeah burger I see flip burger as a debatable best burger in Atlanta. Good job flip burger. I still hate mayo tho

I don't think this place is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Yes, the food is Panda Express-ish, but costs $10. The honey chicken was overly sweet and covered in goopy sauce, but it was a nice change to have rice after several days of burgers and chicken fingers. I also tried the Asian chicken sandwich which was a deli sandwich with an Asian-y slaw. Not bad, but I don't know if it was worth $10 even with Sun Chips. I loved the crispy, skinny fries, but they were super super salty. Service was fast, but tables were hard to come by so work on your hovering skills.

Good food and even some options for vegetarians-- like the portabello arepas which are listed as appetizers but are big enough for an entrée. Service can be a bit hit and miss and they don't take reservations so not good for big groups.
Dancing Goats Coffee Bar

Great service! I was handed my freshly made iced green tea (you can pick which tea you want from their selection and they brew/ice it right there, it isn't stuff that's been sitting in a fridge all day).... Cute, comfy environment and a great place to grab a drink/snack when you need to study, HOWEVER, this is a pretty big place with a lot of wasted room where they could have put more tables and chairs. Instead, the sitting spots are mostly only on the perimeter of the place, with the whole middle being empty space or a big rug that is just odd, unless someone actually wants to go plop down on it and do some reading. Also, the outlets are pretty scarce, and you have to know where to sit to score one. I saw several ex-outlets-- they were covered up and I'm guessing they were outlets before. All of this evidence points to: they don't really want people sitting and studying in here as much as the decor/ambiance might suggest. In Decatur though, this is probably still your best bet!
Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

A great spicy fried chicken! Hard to find fried chicken with the moistness and spices which are soaked into the chicken and breading. Some of the best you will find in town.

I had Halal Bros before at an event and thought it was great, so I was really happy to find a new location open that was near my work. I went there today and right off, I'm telling you the two stars I'm giving is earned by the food alone--as in, if the food hadn't been good, they'd lose a star. When my dining companion and I went to order, we asked the girl at the register questions about the menu (which is a bare bones list). My companion has some allergies, namely onions and iceberg lettuce, so we asked what was on the wraps. The girl seemed confused at the questions, and as we proceeded to order, she continued to act confused. We both ordered a lamb kebab wrap with white sauce (tzatziki) only. I also wanted to try just the beef kebab so I ordered that ala carte. The cashier girl, who had trouble understanding that we wanted the lamb KEBAB WRAP (we had to repeat it a few times), asked if I wanted the beef kebab as a wrap or over rice--I told her neither--just on the side and pointed to the side of the menu that listed the ala carte items. She gave me a look and then punched a button on the cash register. And then I ordered hummus and extra pita. Even the request for extra pita seemed to throw her! Maybe she was new, but no one was supervising her or came to help when clearly we kept having to repeat things to her. So we didn't have to wait too long and got our order. But while we were waiting, I looked at the receipt and saw she had charged us for the beef kebab over rice! That's a $5 difference between a meal and just extra kebab. :( So when we got our meal, I checked things out before we left (we ordered to go). No kebab over rice. Just kebab--as I had ordered but hadn't paid for. So while the gentleman at the front did correct it (by giving me rice), the fact that 1) he acted like it was my fault, and 2) it was such an ordeal to order doesn't make me want to come back too quickly to give it a second chance. The food was pretty good--but not the best. The lamb was really good compared to some other places (Sarah's Med was always gristly and tough). The wrap itself was huge which was great especially for the price. But the tzatziki sauce tasted off. The hummus was ok (183 Grill has much much better! And with excellent customer service to match!). Halal Bros put some sort of spicy red oil on top of the hummus too--I'm just a plain Jane olive oil on my hummus type, so I didn't like it overall. The rice was good--almost a dessert rice because of the spices in it (but not worth $5!!). So. The best thing was the generous chunks of tasty lamb in my wrap. The worst was a really bad first (and likely last) impression given by bad customer service.
